Gate-side plastics run at Lock & Lock in T2
Five minutes’ walk from most international gates in Terminal T2, Lock & Lock focuses on food containers, bottles, and travel storage gear. This is the same Korean brand you see in city supermarkets, just at airport markup. Expect rows of Tritan water bottles, bento-style lunch boxes, and clip-lid containers in multiple sizes stacked right to the ceiling.
Prices run higher than downtown Ho Chi Minh City: a mid-size water bottle that’s 120,000 VND in town can hit 180,000–220,000 VND here. On the flip side, everything is clearly tagged in VND and usually scans correctly at the register. You can pay with cards tied to Visa or Mastercard, and small items under 100,000 VND are easy ways to burn leftover cash.
Lock & Lock in T2 generally trades while international departures move, so think roughly 06:00 to 23:00 on a typical day. Stock leans hard toward plastic food storage, with a smaller section of cookware, coffee tumblers, and lunch bags. If you need a microwavable container for hotel-room leftovers or a leakproof box for street-food snacks before a long flight, this is one of the few spots airside that actually sells them.
Watch out for bulkier cookware sets that run over 1,000,000 VND; they eat into luggage weight limits fast. Lids and bases usually sit in separate stacks, so double-check sizes match before you queue. Last tip: if you’re boarding from the higher-numbered gates in T2, swing by Lock & Lock on the way out; backtracking adds 10–15 minutes in peak evening banks.
