A saying goodbye to culinary legends: Ho Chi-Minh-Stadt mourns!

In Ho Chi Minh City, many mourn the loss of traditional culinary experiences. The city has strongly shaped the closure of several legendary restaurants and cafes in recent years. Covid-19 pandemic in particular has for many companies that means.

An impressive example is the Muoi Fresh Milk Shop, which closed its doors in October 2021. Operated by two sisters, the shop in the Khac Khoan Straße, District 1, was known for over 20 years for its fresh milk, soy milk, yogurt and raisin biscuit cake. The owner Ms. Lan had to hire the company due to the lack of cows on the family yard, which the loyal customers regretted.

Another institution, minus 18 degrees Celsius in VO van Tan Straße, district 3, closed after 19 years in June 2024 and was described as "legendary" by students. The shop was a popular meeting place, but here too the closure was inevitable. Numerous customers hope for a return and online sales that have been announced after the closure.

Another sad chapter closed on May 30, 2025 with the Banh Canh-Restaurant in the Nguyen Phi Khanh Straße 12c, district 1. The family business, which was run by five sisters, could no longer be operated due to the health problems of the older employees.

The closure of the Hot & Cold restaurant chain, which closed all its branches at the end of June 2025, also marked a significant loss. Since 2011, Hot & Cold has been active with over 65 branches in Vietnam and an integral part of student life. Other popular brands such as alo tra milk tea, ten milk tea, comebuy milk tea and April Tea Shop have recently given up.
