🇻🇳If you're going to eat yakitori, it's got to be here! Part 2: The Secret Behind the Deliciousness

Best grilled chicken (whole) in Ho Chi Minh

The once-cramped cages are now splendid

I enjoy the food and am always indebted to them

Bit by bit they teach me as I keep coming

[🇻🇳 HCMC Prices] Whole charcoal-grilled chicken (with veggies & sticky rice) 230,000 VND ≈ ¥1400 (Jan 2026). Chicken raised in Dong Nai, always in the shop's cage

Kept in three-tier rooms like this. On the way to the morning market you'll see 20–30, but they're popular and often sell out; low stock is quickly restocked

The driver uncle is so used to it. Amazing thing about Vietnam: people even buy this chicken as an ingredient—wow. If you know the meat's different and can butcher it yourself, of course you'd buy. Mornings, auntie busily tidies the chicken

It's an open kitchen. In flashy work clothes, perched on a tiny stool, auntie busily moves her hands. The grill looks like this

Hung in a tandoor-like barrel oven, charcoal-grilled and smoky—mouthwatering just to watch

Going again this month, so order done. Days of savoring chicken—what happiness
