Cm G Xi M Su Su is a Saigon street food restaurant that specializes in unique and amazing Vietnamese fried chicken. Read about it here: When I asked where to eat on my trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a few of you told me to check out a restaurant called Cm G Xi M Su Su where the owner serves a unique and amazing style of Vietnamese grilled chicken. I actually stayed at a hotel, not too far away, so one day I decided to go check it out. I immediately recognized the restaurant by its orange chairs and by the metal shiny tables that everyone eats at, which are all lines up along the side of the wall. The most amazing thing about Cm G Xi M Su Su is the owners street food cooking inventions. When I arrived at the restaurant, he was busy making his famous sauce, which was being stirred in a flat pan by a paddle attachment to what looked like a commercial sized mixer. He was pretty excited to show me what he was cooking, and that he had invented the machine himself. But even how cool the mixing machine was, nothing could prepare me from the amazing waterfall fried chicken machine, that the owner also created himself for his restaurant. He cooked the chicken almost all the way, probably just baking it or something like that, and when someone makes an order, he puts a piece of chicken under the waterfall or deep frying oil, and lets it sit in the hot oil rain for a few minutes on each side until it turns golden brown and crispy on the outside. When you arrive to eat at Cm G Xi M Su Su in Saigon, Vietnam, you basically have two choice of what to order - either a thigh or a breast of chicken. For my first plate of food, I chose to get the thigh, which came as a thigh and drumstick combination, paired with the restaurants signature orange fried rice, and the famous sauce. The chicken was crispy fried underneath the waterfall of hot oil, and it was crispy and delicious and hot. The sauce was a blend of garlic and onions, and lots of hoisin and soy sauce. The combination of the crunchy fried chicken with the sauce and the rice, was pretty wonderful. I liked it so much in fact, that I decided to order another piece of the fried chicken creation, and this time I ordered the white meat breast combination. It was actually better and bigger than the thigh I thought so if I ever go back again, Id probably go straight for the breast piece of chicken. The food at Cm G Xi M Su Su was pretty tasty, but even better than the food, was the unique and amazing waterfall raining deep frying machine that the owner invented and cooks his chicken with. The owner is extremely friendly, and he will definitely take care of you if you eat at his restaurant in Saigon

Ate here today based on this video and I can honestly say I've never been in a more disgusting street food restaurant in the whole of asia. The chicken was grey / black on the inside and tasted like pure oil. The rice is plain. There was rot on the ceiling dripping on to the tables. If you're in Saigon, congratulations, you're in one of the best cities in the whole world for street food, restaurants and cafes, which is why it is totally beyond me why anyone would choose to eat here. Please don't waste your time. If you have even a shred of respect for yourself, what and where you eat, you'll avoid and won't delude yourself into agreeing with this video. Also note that the place seems to be in far worse condition now in 2018 to when this video was made.

NObody can pronounce vietnamese words except vietnamese people. No matter how hard you try they will tell you it's wrong. Why? Because. with any other language you just have to enunciate the sound and get the words out of your mouth. But with vietnamese they rely on pitch and tone. That's why they have those accent marks on their letters. My wife is vietnamese and I tell her this all the time. It's absurd. The same word can have a completely different meaning depending on the pitch. I mean why couldn't their ancestors just make a DIFFERENT word if they want a different meaning? :P

What a cool machine to fry the chicken I wonder if it's any different than actually submerging it in the oil. Maybe not so much oil gets soaked up, or lighter? All I know is everything looked amazing I love that the owner was so hospitable and willing to show you how things were done there, and also very patient with your language barrier. I'd love to visit this restaurant someday

Just went to this place on 11 june 2016, after watching this video. The price for the chicken thigh with the orange rice is 42, 000 dong, slightly cheaper for wings. Its as good as Mark described it. There is no words to aptly describe the heavenly sauce. Fortunately for me those little plastic side stool is reinforced with metals to support my weight.

Whoever ate with you is a disgrace to the human race. There are many hungry children out there in the world that have nothing to eat. My parents taught me never to leave food (in this case rice) on your plate untouched. It is wasteful and disrespectful to the restaurant owner. Just order the chicken and not the rice.

Notice how the drink is made next door. They could easily make their own variant or have a selection of drinks. but why? Why put others out of business? Here in America that lady would have been bought out or pushed out in the first month of opening. Cant wait for my passport to be done processing

This is a tradition way of frying chicken my mom used to fry the whole chicken the same way by pouring oil on the whole chicken. She said by doing so it's more juicy anyway. It really looks good but I have some concerns regarding the color of the oil. It looks like motor oil seriously.
reply

Not sure if the owner said he made the chicken by himself or the machine by himself. Because that's really awesome if he made all the machines by himself. I wonder if he can make those machines, why don't he work for a company. Lol or maybe he did but changed his job to do this instead.

that method of cooking dated back hundreds of years when the emperor would have his cook ladle hot oil and pour it over a hanging chicken to cook it. Suppose to get the outside crispy and the inside moist. This guy just modernized it and KFC used a pressure cooker. hahaha
