About The Rice Hotel & Travel Group – Saigon's Trusted Multi-Service Brand
In the vibrant tourism landscape of Ho Chi Minh City, The Rice Hotel & Travel Group stands out as a rare all-in-one destination — a place where three pillars of exceptional travel converge: dining, accommodation, and guided tours. Unlike standalone brands, The Rice Group has built a fully integrated ecosystem that allows both domestic and international travelers to enjoy a seamless journey from the moment they arrive in Saigon to the moment they head home.
Strategically positioned in District 1 — the commercial and cultural heart of Ho Chi Minh City — The Rice Group serves thousands of guests every month through three core business verticals: Dai Viet Restaurant, The Rice Hotel, and The Rice Travel. This is not just a brand combination; it is a commitment to delivering a consistent, professional, and emotionally rich experience for every traveler.
The Rice Hotel & Travel Group - a reputable multi-service brand in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
Dai Viet Restaurant – District 1's Top-Rated Restaurant with 12 Branches on Bui Vien & De Tham Walking Streets
When it comes to high-quality restaurants in District 1, Dai Viet Restaurant is always one of the first names that comes to mind. Located right on Bui Vien Walking Street — one of Ho Chi Minh City's most iconic thoroughfares, buzzing with international visitors around the clock — the restaurant enjoys an unbeatable strategic position.
A 300-Dish Menu: Vietnamese Classics, Western Cuisine & Fresh Seafood
What truly sets Dai Viet Restaurant apart from other District 1 dining options is its expansive menu of over 300 dishes, spanning:
Traditional & Contemporary Vietnamese Dishes: Classic pho, grilled spring rolls, banh mi, authentic Saigon broken rice, vermicelli with grilled pork, and Southern-style sizzling crepes. Slow-braised specialties, garlic-sautéed greens, bamboo chicken hot pot, and braised eel with banana blossom — all deeply rooted in Vietnamese culinary heritage.
Western Cuisine: Beyond Vietnamese flavors, Dai Viet Restaurant also satisfies the most discerning international palates. Premium-cut steaks are seared to order, locking in every drop of natural juiciness. Al dente pasta in fresh sauces, wood-fired crispy pizza, and hearty burgers make for a perfect Saigon evening. Start with a crisp garden salad or European-style starters, then close the night with a handcrafted cocktail, refreshing mocktail, or chilled tropical smoothie — each sip carrying the warm essence of Southern Vietnam.
Live Seafood — Saigon's Freshest Catch: Seafood lovers will be spoilt for choice at Dai Viet Restaurant. Lobster with firm, naturally sweet flesh; Ca Mau crab packed with rich roe; prized sea snails known for their chewy, addictive texture; and banded eel — soft, buttery, and versatile — prepared with lemongrass, salt-and-chili, or braised with banana blossom and tofu. All live seafood is sourced and delivered fresh daily, so guests can dine with complete confidence in quality and food safety. An experienced kitchen team ensures every plate meets the highest standards of flavor, presentation, and nutrition.
