A sterile lifeless shopping centre with more staff than customers. Walk on buy unless you are starved for designer labels. On the plus side the food hall is clean with a bit of choice (avoid between 11:45 and 1:30 when all the office workers flood in.

Mix the usual names of high priced luxury brands with people that think they need these goods and then bake in a mall that is exactly like a thousand in other places in the world. Why would any tourist take a moment to visit this attraction?

Diamond Plaza is sell in up market in Ho Chi Minh. It is indistinguishable from those you will see in any Western City. The staff are very pleasant, friendly and helpful but quite lack of English skill in some stand. The shop is pricey and a duplicate even by Western standards, then the surruonding streets are jammed with reasonable priced... More

We went wandering one day and somehow came across this place. The shopping complex is beautiful with some awesome and unusual things to buy BUT it is very pricey. I remember looking at a hair clip and then realising it was $140US! Good to have a look around for a hour or two pretending your rich or to spend a... More

A huge shopping centre that is very fancy. I felt very out of place in my backpacker schloppy casual clothes. Very bright on the bling and the high end bags and shoes such as Gucci, guess etc. Prices way too high for me. Food court is very uneventful had a bowl of pho and went back to my hotel. Crowded...

This is not a attraction. Its a regular shopping mall with quite expensive stuff, compared to outside the building. It has clothing stores at the bottom and some food courts, and then theres bowling, snooker/pool, arcade games and a bar higher up - fun for the kids/youth.

This is my first time in HCMC. The hotel staff suggested this plaza for shopping. Personally I think this ís a total waste of time unless you have never been to a department store. It is small and quite out dated. I will not advise anyone to go there.
