Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is located opposite to Saigon Center. The environment is quite good. I went there to have my breakfast on 23 February 2019. I ordered a piece of Tiramsu cakes, one hot Lacte and one bowl of Pho Bo. The coffee was good and the...cake was delicious but the beef noodle was not ok. I could find Pho Bo with better quality and cheaper easily nearby. The total amount of my bill was 273,900 VND. Jump to the conclusion, according to its price, quality of food, service and environment. I would like to say if you do not mind to pay a bit higher price, it is a nice place for you to take a break.More

The menu photo is just for SHOW, the food you order nothing looks like in the menu photo. Isn’t this deliberate misleading? They should be charged with fraud. Don’t come here!

It was the 16th of February, the first night of Chinese New Year and we were in Saigon. Little did we know (my fault for not researching) that it is a major public holiday in Vietnam. So the choices are limited - malls were closed...even street food were rare to find. In the middle of bustling Saigon sandwiched between the Ho Chi Minh Square and Saigon Center Mall lies this unassuming cafe called Fresco Coffee. At first we thought it only served coffee and desserts but they offer a wide variety of dishes and drinks. From the authentic Pho to the western Burger they have it. If you want rice, bread, pasta, burger, fries, steak or dessert this is the place to be. The ambience is very relaxing and the interior is simple yet stylish. The staff were very courteous and attentive. The food was right on time when served. Even if our table is a bit small we were able to manage the array of foods we ordered - Mushroom soup for starters, Vietnamese Pork chop rice, Chicken Noodle, Vietnamese Beef Rice Noodles, and of course the delicious Spring rolls. We finished it all - what I can describe is the authenticity of the dishes true to its flavours - fresh, natural and the herbs were right on spot. And what's more the bill is just 25 SG dollars. It is indeed a perfect end to a great Chinese New Year night in Ho Chi Minh. When I come back here I will surely visit this place again.More

We came upon this restaurant on our way and decided to eat something. Food was okey, nothing special. Service was awful, we got the menus but waited a long time before the waiter came to take our orders. But the biggest problem was that they...forgot one of our orders. 3 meals came but we waited for the last one over 15 minutes. When the waiter came and took the three empty plates away we asked for the missing food. Waiter said that she will check. It was obvious that the order was forgotten but nobody came to say sorry to us or explain. They just talked to each other and were angry to the chef. Waiters stood around doing nothing. It took 5 more minutes before we were told that few more minutes and apologised for the wait. There were 7 waiters and the service was unbelievably slow even though there were just a handful of customers. This is a really expensive place and they dont include the 10percent VAT to the menus price, they add it to the check. You can get better food and service some where else for that price.More

Great WiFi and an excellent coffee, juices and other drinks list. Food menu is so so and pricey by Vietnamese standards but wasn’t there for food. Great place if you need to get some work done with a nice selection of refreshments.

Dropped in for lunch after a mornings shopping at Saigon Square 1. It adjoins the shopping centre. Getting service was a little challenging. But food was ok - we had the burgers which were quite nice. Served with fries. Coffees, Frappe and juices totalled $873k...VND. Tad expensive by other food we had in Vietnam.More

Beverages were a bit expensive. Ok it's "chic" restaurant, somehow. But on 3 drinks, we get 1 wrong. Staff nice but inexperienced. We couldn't split the check with cash and credit card. I don't mind to pay a bit more in this kind of restaurant...with a good atmosphere. But I expect more quality in the service. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. Hope, it was just for us and the others will spend a great timeMore

Thank you to the young gentleman with excellent English for exampling the many types of iced coffee in Vietnam. We sat down exhausted from walking around HMC on a hot humid days. My husband had the fresh orange juice, my daughter iced coffee and a...latte for myself. We shared cheesecake and chocolate ice cream. Restaurant is huge and in a great location for watching Hoi Chi Minh City go by. Staff are very friendly and take pride in their work.More

Service is poor, we sat for some time waiting to be served, while waiting a group of tourists came in and was served immediately, we were still waiting. A young girl came over and asked if we had been served and I pointed out that...the others had been served as soon as they walked in, no we were still waiting. We finally ordered drinks, no one came back for food order. Finally a young man came back and took our order. Another tourist came in and sat for a long while before any one came near him, he ended up walking out. What I noticed was that some people get served straight away & others have to wait. Anyway the drinks were good, food not to bad, service very bad. Almost non existent. Don't bother.More
