I looked at Grab, but the airport was a zoo and I wasn't sure where the pick up area was. Since my Vietnamese sucks, I figured I wouldn't be able to communicate with the Grab driver as to where to find me. So I figured I'd just go with a taxi since the prices were very similar according to Rome2Rio.
