Quán Oc Thao Quan 4
Verdict: Walk
Pretty much unlimited seafood for such a good price. I liked the electricity in the air with motorbikes and people everywhere while you’re having your meal right on the street. Food comes quick and it’s great drinking fare.

Comments:
I loved the energy on this street in District 4; it gets super busy at night and most of the restaurants are seafood ones
It’s one of those spots where you sit on a small stool and table and get that authentic Vietnamese eating experience
We had a table of 8 of us so it allowed us to order a ton of variety of dishes and share amongst us - everyone ate until they were full
I recommend this spot if you are into seafood and want that local experience + willing to go outside of District 1
Some of the seafood was a little tougher (less finesse on the cooking) such as the scallops but at least everything is fully cooked
My favourite things were the snails in white coconut sauce (don’t have a pic), crab, and the duck eggs
