Review: Quynh Anh in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Quynh Anh is one of many hot toc goi dau in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1. These sorts of venues are quite common in the city. They have been described in some detail on this website over the years. Yet the majority of shops of this type have not yet been mentioned here.

There are many adult oriented businesses in Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam. They can be found all over. Yet they do not advertise in English. In many cases they do not advertise at all. This leads to a surreal situation in which western visitors looking for sex complain that it is difficult to find in Vietnam while some Vietnamese authorities simultaneously bemoan the widespread availability of commercial sex.

Location and layout

Quynh Anh is located at 111b Nguyen Phi Khanh. It is immediately next to the previously reviewed Tuan Anh. The place shares the name of a Belgian-Vietnamese singer but most people probably call it by its address. This is common in Ho Chi Minh City.

Nguyen Phi Khanh has been well known as a center of hot toc shops for years. There are several located along the short street. In recent times the strip has become more popular with foreigners. Locals still make up the main customer base. But its not uncommon to spot Western men walking up or down the street.

Quynh Anh has a green exterior with a sign and some neon lighting. The actual entrance is recessed and well back from the street. That leaves space in front for customers to park their motorbikes. It also provides a place for a tout slash security guard to sit. But at Quynh Anh that is not so common.

Immediately beyond the entrance there is a small lobby. Beyond that there is another room. The women on staff wait around in both places. Upstairs there are several rooms of varying sizes. Some are small and others are quite large. They are separated by frosted glass walls that do not go all the way up to the ceiling. So sounds can easily pass from one area to the next. The walls are decorated with wall paper but the individual quarters do not have sinks.

Women on staff

At most times there are six or seven women working at Quynh Anh. They are all Vietnamese. The ladies range in age from early twenties to perhaps early thirties. Unlike some other hot toc goi dau the women at Quynh Anh do not wear matching uniforms. They sport tight fitting dresses that look quite nice but they are assorted in color and style.

The women themselves also vary a bit in looks. There are a few average looking women. Some others are chubby by Vietnamese standards yet quite busty. There are also one or two that would be described as real beauties by most men. None of the women speak much English but since it’s not required for their work this is no real detriment for them.

Service and price

All of the women provide the standard service rendered in these kinds of venues. That means they guide customers to the massage tables in the private areas. They then help customers pull down their pants. After washing their hands and the intimate bits of customers they preform oral. Often times this is done with real gusto and skill. It seems to vary between service providers and situations.

The house fee at Quynh Anh is 150,000 Dong ($6.50 USD). Customers are expected to tip their service providers on top of that. There are no actual rules but regulars to these kinds of places normally double the ticket cost. That means that they generally pay 300,000 VND ($13 USD) total for a session at Quynh Anh.

Some foreigners ask the price or pay up front as they walk in the door. This often leads to them paying more than the average rate. They might spend as much as 400,000 or 500,000 VND total before service is rendered. Those in the know including all locals and clued up foreigners pay on their way out the door.

Conclusion

Quynh Anh is one of many shops of its kind located on Nguyen Phi Khanh. There are so many shops on the short street that they can all blend in with each other for the casual observer. As reports on this website show they do have their own individual characteristics.

In particular Quynh Anh has a somewhat different layout than many shops of the kind. It also staffs a wide variety of women who range from the thin and fit to the cute and curvy. There are also others in between. There is no uniform but the women all do put on form fitting dresses. Service is rendered with commitment to the customer in nearly all cases. Three-and-a-half stars.

Quynh Anh. 111B Nguyen Phi Khanh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Open every day from 11:00 AM until 10:00 PM.
