[Video] The Story of Saigon's Classiest Street Food Restaurant

While the city is a cut above when it comes to delicious outdoor dining, most local streetside restaurants stick to traditional Vietnamese and opt for low-cost ingredients, passing on those savings to customers as well.

Only In Saigon and Saigoneer stopped by one eatery in District 1 that has managed to find a way to elevate its casual dining experience without breaking the bank. Cau Ba Quan (85 Hoang Sa, Da Kao, Q1) is stepping up its street food game with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a twist on the usual roadside menu.
