A plate you pick yourself
Subicha, 236 Nguyen Tieu La, District 10 — a rare self-serve broken-rice model in Saigon: you take a tray and pick each rib and drumstick yourself; fragrant pandan-leaf rice; help-yourself sides; everything kept hot in the steam cabinet. Pay per item, in the 5,000đ–50,000đ band quoted by saigonangi.
The four tray steps
No set plates — you walk the counter, pick what you want, pay per item.
Take a tray
Start at the head of the counter — clean tray, food steaming in the hot cabinet.
Pick the hot dishes
Grilled ribs, house bì, quê sausage, xíu mại, drumsticks — take the piece that looks best.
Scoop the pandan rice
Broken rice cooked with pandan leaves, gently fragrant — fill your bowl.
Sides + pay up
Sides and cucumber help-yourself; pay at the counter for what you picked.
Reviews are split
Foody scores quality 7.8/10 — but don't trust the score alone: some diners praise the self-serve model and the fish sauce, while 2 reviews call the food bland and pricey for students. Good for pickers; go easy if you like bold flavors.
