No.1 Beer Garden

Experience No.1 Beer Garden - A Familiar Meeting Spot in Binh Thanh

Initial Impressions

It has been a while since our group had the chance to gather in the classic “around the drinking table” style like in the past. Therefore, I decided to try a new place with a quite impressive name: No.1 Beer Garden, located right in Binh Thanh. Curious to find out if the name “No.1” truly lives up to its reputation, we arranged to meet one weekend evening to explore and enjoy the drinking atmosphere with friends. I must say, the feeling at that moment was truly exciting, looking forward to a fun evening, not only to eat well but also to relax after a stressful work week.

Brief Introduction to the Restaurant

No.1 Beer Garden is located at 125 Bui Huu Nghia Street, Ward 1, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City - a quite convenient location, easy to find and accessible by taxi or motorbike. The restaurant is not overly elaborate in design but is very close to the traditional beer garden style: spacious, simple yet clean, creating an intimate feeling. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor areas, suitable for large groups of friends or families wanting a comfortable space to eat and chat.

If you are looking for a beer garden that is not too luxurious but is “cozy” and pleasant, this is definitely a reasonable choice. Especially, the restaurant is very suitable for office workers, young groups, and those who want to find a simple drinking corner, free from noise or chaos.

Detailed Experience at No.1 Beer Garden

• **Space and Amenities**: Upon entering the restaurant, I immediately felt the spaciousness, not stuffy like many other beer gardens. The wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, clean, quite simple yet still create a comfortable feeling. I particularly liked the outdoor area because it was cool and allowed us to enjoy the cityscape at night, creating a very interesting relaxing space. The restaurant also has a spacious parking area, so guests do not have to worry about parking.
• **Variety of Dishes**: The menu here is quite diverse, from fresh seafood, grilled meats to familiar traditional dishes like steamed chicken with lime leaves, mixed hot pot, fried sour spring rolls, snails… Our group ordered grilled squid with satay, steamed chicken with lime leaves, and seafood hot pot - all dishes recommended by the restaurant as “specialties.” The grilled squid retained its freshness, with a mild spicy flavor from the satay that was just right, fragrant with spices that stimulate the taste buds. The steamed chicken with lime leaves had tender meat, lightly fragrant with lime and Vietnamese coriander, perfectly paired with sour and spicy dipping sauce. The seafood hot pot was diverse with shrimp, fish, squid, and fresh vegetables, and the broth was rich, making everyone in our group eat very “enthusiastically.”
• **Attentive Service**: The staff here are very quick and friendly. I ordered quite a few dishes but did not experience any delays or forgotten orders. They were also enthusiastic in advising dishes suitable for each person’s taste in the group. I was most impressed when one of our group members had a seafood allergy, and the restaurant staff immediately assisted in changing to another dish without affecting the overall cheerful atmosphere.
• **Memorable Moments**: While waiting for the main dishes, our group was invited to try the crispy fried fish roe - a special appetizer of the restaurant. The fish was crispy, with a moderate salty flavor, and paired with chili sauce made for a very tasty snack. Thanks to this thoughtful gesture, our drinking session became even more enjoyable and memorable.
