A key highlight was the "Ho Chi Minh City Iconic Eateries" Awards 2026, honoring 60 outstanding restaurants and eateries - well-loved destinations that represent the rich culinary identity of the City. The program was developed based on data from the GrabFood platform combined with on-ground evaluations, following rigorous criteria.

- Local Flavor Legends (40 establishments): representing local culinary identity;
- Customer Choice: Best Experience (10 establishments): recognized for outstanding service quality;
- Rising Stars (10 establishments): acknowledging impressive growth and strong adaptability on digital platforms.
In addition, Grab introduced various solutions to support visitors, notably the Travel Pass package designed for international travelers.
