Ben Thanh Market

Chợ Bến Thành is one of those markets where you can always find something interesting if you take your time. It’s a classic Vietnamese grocery with a mix of frozen, dry goods, and fresh produce — definitely feels like home for anyone familiar with shopping at neighborhood markets. During my last visit, I noticed a few familiar brands in the freezer section, including Chuon Chuon (Dragon Fly). Always a good feeling to see products you recognize and trust. If you're in the area and looking for Vietnamese ingredients, this is a solid place to check out.

This Vietnamese market is our go-to spot—we grab food to take home almost every week! They offer a great variety, and the options change often. The BBQ pork and duck are hard to beat—the seasoning is delicious, and the crispy skin is amazing. Easily the best in the area for delicious, comforting Vietnamese food!

Never go here, I called to ask if they had a product before I drove 45 minutes to get there. No one at the place spoke English to answer my question. Go to Hong Kong Market instead, they all speak English.

This market needs to be sued, fined, and shut down! They knowingly are selling old mold Madeline cakes that’s been expired for over a year. They removed the Madeline cakes from the original Madeline box and they put a few of the cakes into a new small box to resell for more money. Dishonest and disgusting. I took pictures of it. Please don’t come here.

Someone brought Banh Mi Thap Cam, Banh Cuon, Goi Cuon and Banh Bao Lan from here for lunch. Everything was fantastic. I was over the moon when I saw how completely stuffed their Banh Mi was. I’ve been back a few times since. They offer the Banh Mi Heo Quay, but let’s be real. They offer Heo Quay when they feel like making it. That’s the only bad part. Hopefully, I’ll try much luck again in the future.
