Street food is an indispensable part of Saigon culture and life, a highlight that leaves a deep impression on visitors to the city, now named after Vietnam’s beloved President Ho Chi Minh. Consumers have turned to online shopping in droves since the second wave of COVID-19 struck, and local street food businesses have taken different initiatives to survive and not be left behind.

Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam has been ranked fourth among 50 best cities for street food, according to a latest survey by CEOWorld.

HCM City authorities have announced plans to revamp 159 streets to create space for street food vendors there following a successful three-month trial of street vendor “markets” on Nguyen Van Chiem street and Bach Tung Diep Park in District 1.
