Oc Khanh has 3 branches located on Nguyen Binh Khiem Street (District 1); Ung Van Khiem (Binh Thanh District); Luong Dinh Cua (old District 2, now Thu Duc City).

On TikTok, the owner of the channel Nhan di an shared that actress Le Khanh's snail restaurant is always his first thought whenever "a few friends invite him to eat snails, but it has to be a restaurant right in the center of District 1".

Oc Khanh does not expect 1,000 customers to come at once.

Entering Oc Khanh restaurant, many diners feel that the space here is not too large but quite cozy, simple, suitable for a family meeting.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Le Vy (19 years old, District 8) said she had the opportunity to visit Khanh snail restaurant twice at two different branches: Nguyen Binh Khiem (District 1) and Luong Dinh Cua (old District 2).

"I went to eat with my family twice. The first time I went to the restaurant in District 1, I was immediately impressed by the sign: "I don't expect 1,000 customers to come once, I only expect 1 customer to come 1,000 times" - Vy said.

The restaurant's slogan impresses many people with its sincerity and cuteness.

Ngoc Phat Nguyen, a customer who visited Oc Khanh (District 1) humorously commented on the Google Maps review page: "The slogan sounds very warm and like a wish for wealth. Because if you come back 1,000 times, your wallet must be very full."

In addition to the unique slogan, the restaurant also makes first-time diners hesitate and think carefully to choose their favorite dish.

Because the menu is quite diverse with many types of seafood such as: apple snails, cockles, crab claws, canarium snails, blood cockles, scallops, scallops, oysters, horn snails, flower snails... prepared in many ways: stir-fried with green pepper, grilled with scallion oil, grilled with garlic butter, steamed with Thai, steamed with lemongrass, stir-fried with satay, stir-fried with tamarind, stir-fried with water spinach...

Crispy squid teeth coated in warm, golden butter sauce.

The fatty taste of melted butter mixed with the salty and sweet taste of squid brings a quite complete experience.

And it would be even more complete if you have a loaf of bread on hand to dip in the sauce.

"I think when coming to Khanh snail restaurant, diners should not miss the plate of stir-fried squid teeth with butter.

This is a very suitable dish to enjoy and chat with friends. I also like its taste very much.

It's rich but not too greasy, and it's more noticeable when eaten with bread. In general, dishes with butter sauce dipped in bread are very appealing!" - Le Vy told Tuoi Tre Online .

With coconut stir-fried snails, a dish often found on the menu of snail restaurants, diners can feel the fatty taste of coconut milk mixed with a little bit of spiciness from chili, and the fragrant, strong smell of Vietnamese coriander.

"When I went to eat, I felt that the coconut milk flavor in the coconut-fried snail dish was not very rich. Besides the butter-fried squid teeth and coconut-fried snails, my family also ordered grilled oysters with cheese. I felt that if eaten with the restaurant's salt, chili and lemon dipping sauce, the flavor would be more harmonious."

On the Google Maps review page, Duc Vuong Nguyen confided that he came to Oc Khanh restaurant to support her after watching Le Khanh perform on stage and being introduced by friends to this as her snail restaurant:

"Just like the care in her roles, each dish in the restaurant is also meticulously prepared. My favorite dish is the stir-fried snails with butter, with a rich butter flavor combined with delicious bread. I wish the restaurant more and more customers."

Hieu Ta commented: "The dish of buttered garlic squid teeth dipped in bread is number one. If you are a foreigner coming to experience eating at a snail restaurant, don't be too surprised by the snail shells rolling on the floor because that is also a style that is difficult to confuse in the street and popular culinary culture in Vietnam."
