Why We Built Nibsy

Traveling through Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia I often struggled to find authentic food spots. I had to dig through YouTube vlogs, scattered blog posts and Google Maps reviews – which was time-consuming and often unreliable.

“With Nibsy, I want to make it easy for food lovers and expats to share real recommendations — the hidden gems, the must-try dishes, and yes, even the honest negative reviews when something didn’t live up to the hype.”

— Founder of Nibsy

Our Story

Nibsy was born from a simple frustration: despite Vietnam's incredible culinary scene, finding truly authentic, local dining experiences remained surprisingly difficult for both visitors and locals alike. Language barriers often made it even harder to discover hidden gems or understand reviews, turning what should be an exciting food adventure into a challenge.

The Problem We Saw

Traditional review platforms often missed the mark when it came to Vietnamese cuisine, focusing on tourist spots while overlooking hidden gems that locals cherished.

  • Generic reviews that didn't understand Vietnamese food culture
  • Tourist-focused recommendations missing authentic experiences
  • Language barriers preventing locals from sharing their insights

"Where do locals actually eat? How do I find authentic pho, not tourist pho?"

"Finally, a platform that gets Vietnamese food!"

Our Solution

We created Nibsy to bridge this gap—a platform built specifically for Vietnam's unique culinary landscape, where local knowledge meets modern technology.

  • Reviews focused on authenticity and local food culture
  • Community-driven recommendations from real locals
  • Multilingual support connecting all food lovers
