Ohan Restaurant

Description:

• Tatsuhiko Itano is one of Ho Chi Minh's best known and most loved expats. His smile and bellowing "Irashaimase!" greet you at the door of this real-deal Japanese Oshushiyasan. Key ingredients are imported, the fish is very fresh, and the presentation is unrivaled. This is the place where Saigon's many Japanese expatriates come to celebrate, and on weekend nights the place is packed. Mr. Itano serves all kinds of Japanese cuisine along with his famous sushi, from udon noodles to Ochazuke, a dish of special herbs and spices over rice soaked in hot tea. Ohan is the town's most authentic, and Sushi Bar, the most affordable.
