Tucked away in a quiet alley of Bình Thạnh District, Xôi Bát is a hidden gem that has redefined Vietnam’s beloved sticky rice dish. Opened in 2021 by Huỳnh Phúc Thịnh, this cozy eatery has garnered acclaim, including a spot on the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand list, for its commitment to quality and innovation.

At Xôi Bát, sticky rice is elevated with a variety of thoughtfully prepared toppings. Signature offerings include the “xôi bát thập cẩm,” a harmonious blend of pâté, braised eggs, shredded chicken, coconut-braised offal, and char siu—all served over fragrant, pandan-infused sticky rice. Each bowl is accompanied by house-made kimchi and a light carrot soup, enhancing the dining experience.

The restaurant’s minimalist interior, featuring wooden furnishings and lush greenery, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Despite its modest size, with seating for about 20 guests, Xôi Bát has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic taste of Vietnamese cuisine.

For those looking to explore traditional Vietnamese flavors with a modern twist, Xôi Bát delivers a memorable culinary journey in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
