Nguyen Trai Street is a vibrant local shopping area of Saigon's District 5. If you want real deals on clothing this is the place to visit. You'll find the prices here up to 30% of similiar items in the tourist district. There's also amazing street food and restaurants close by mostly serving Vietnamese and Chinese food. District 5 is part of the original Cholon area of Ho Chi Minh. At one time this area was divided by name-Cholon/Saigon. Less impacted than other districts succumbing to international brands and chains this whole area feels like a giant market.
