El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse, in our opinion, serves some of the best steaks in Vietnam. We had the opportunity to try it when we were in Hanoi, and gave it top marks (see our review of Hanoi’s version here!).
Since we were in Ho Chi Minh City, we cannot miss the chance to try it again, and see if the standard of its steaks remains consistent between different cities.
When we tried it this time, there was a lunch promotion, where you could have a steak, one side dish, and sauce, from 690,000 VND. This was really good value as their steaks usually start from 890,000 VND, which does not include any side dish and sauce.

We had the 250gm USDA Prime Rib Eye steak, got the mash potatoes as a side dish, and chose the mushroom sauce. All these for 790,000 VND is really fantastic value!
We first started with some warm bread, fresh butter, and roasted garlic. It was the perfect appetiser as the bread was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Next up, the steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. Add on the mushroom sauce (my favourite) and it was just awesome. The mash potatoes was rich and creamy, just wonderful.

Of course, we could not stop here, so we asked for dessert recommendations. The server mentioned her favourite dessert was the chocolate lava with vanilla ice cream, and so we ordered that. It was a good choice, with this standard dessert bringing our meal to a perfect end. The chocolate lava really oozed out when you cut it in the middle, and the vanilla ice cream was a good balance to the chocolate cake.
When you are in Ho Chi Minh City, make sure El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse is one of the stops you make!
