Ba Ghien Broken Rice, located on Dang Van Ngu Street in Phu Nhuan District, is the only broken rice restaurant in Vietnam to be listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand (delicious and reasonably priced) category for two consecutive years, 2023-2024.
The culinary guide describes it as a family-run eatery that has been serving broken rice since 1995. It is well-known among locals for its charcoal-grilled pork chop rice, featuring large cuts of pork loin marinated with a secret family recipe for a distinct flavor.
The restaurant uses fresh pork loin (the meat close to the rib bone), sourced daily, and grilled to order. The charcoal grill, placed right in front of the shop, operates at full capacity throughout the day.
With grilled pork chop as the main ingredient, the menu offers six different dish variations. Additional toppings include sunny-side-up eggs, shredded pork skin, steamed egg meatloaf, Chinese sausage, and grilled chicken thigh. The most affordable dish, grilled pork chop rice, is priced at 75,000 VND, while the mixed platter costs 145,000 VND.
