Tân Định Market

“Nice local market, good to buy dried fruits. I bought dried Jackfruit and they where delicious. 100g for 25.000 VND, 11.2025. Also they have normal things for local Wholesale people. Fishmarket... take care about the prices. Bit high, ask before you buy! Enjoeyed also a real local soup there, good, but not hygnenic.”

“If you are nearby and curious, you can visit Tam Dinh Market. However, there is nothing particularly special about it. The market had a very strong unpleasant smell and it felt quite dirty. If you want to see a local market, it’s better to visit Ben Thanh Market. Another option is Chợ Bến Thành, which is a larger market and is close to the Ho Chi Ming City Museum of Fine Arts, about a 5-minute walk”

“Tân Định Market is vibrant, welcoming, and wonderfully accessible. It feels both local and easy to navigate, even as a visitor. Inside the market, the fabric stalls are beautiful — rich colors, intricate patterns, and generous shopkeepers who are happy to let you browse. And don’t miss the shops across the street — even more fabrics (including quilting), equally warm and friendly. The food is fresh, fragrant, and delicious, with vendors who greet you with genuine smiles. It’s the kind of place where everyday life unfolds in full color. A true neighborhood gem — lively, authentic, and full of heart.”

“Typical market. Items on sale were more or less similar. Dominantly selling cloth, nuts and dried goods in the main area. There was a wet market behind it, food stalls on one side and mainly fruits stalls on the other side. There was this nice dried goods stall named A Muoi in it. Friendly staffs who can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and some English languages. Not pushy and were patience. They were more than happy to let you sample any item generously. The cashew nut with skin was plump and creamy. The macadamia nut was sweet and creamy. The pumpkin seed was nice. The dried mango was meaty, fragrant, and not overly sweet. The chilli pink guava was nice. The mango and lychee soft sweets had unique jelly liked texture, fragrant, and not overly artificially sweet. Yummy. This market was a 4/5”

“Large open market specializing mostly in fabrics of a vast variety, there's food / accessories / flowers / jewelery etc. Across the road has several special dress shops which can tailor make the one you pick to your size”
