A true insider tip! Hẻm 40 Bùi Viện (often confused with "Bien") is one of the most famous hidden alleyways right in Saigon's vibrant backpacker district. While the main street, Bùi Viện, is loud and touristy, you'll find authentic local life in Hẻm 40 (and the side alleys like 40/13). The BBQ stalls are famous here, where you can sit on small plastic stools and eat grilled skewers, seafood, or Bún Chả.
