Four tables, one MICHELIN Star, above a Thảo Điền wine bar

Book a seat here and you're one of eight people eating in the whole room. Chef Trương Minh Hiệp runs a modern Vietnamese tasting menu built on Central Vietnamese cooking, especially Huế, in a curved room dressed in soft pink above a Thảo Điền wine bar. His gỏi bò cà layers Wagyu tartare with aubergine purée and egg yolk inside a crisp shell, clever rather than fussy.

The tasting menu runs 2,600,000 dong, the wine list leans on small boutique producers, and the sommelier talks you through every pairing. Four tables only, so book well ahead.

    Probably one of the most amazing Michelin star restaurant I’ve experienced. It only has 1 star when I’m writing this review but I’m confident that they are getting a second one soon , with that level of service, food experience and immersive mix in the Vietnamese cuisine ! Would book it if you like raw fish and Vietnamese cuisine. Otherwise it may not be for you. Congrats to the Chef and his team cause this is a Gem !

    Food is okay, worthy of note but not to be ranting to the most gastronomical of friends. They rushed our first 5 dishes which is curious since we would be the last of for the table for the night. My date got a little bit of an allergic reaction to the banh xeo (shellfish) but that was my fault as we were on our first date!

    One of the best dining experiences! The ingredients were meticulously thought out and crafted into delicious courses. The wait staff were knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. The head chef also came out himself and served us a main dish which was extra special. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fine dining experience with modern Vietnamese cuisine.

    This is without a doubt the best meal we had in Vietnam. The space is beautiful and the atmosphere is perfect. Chef Truong and his team are incredible to watch, so much discipline in the kitchen, the food is a delicate journey through Vietnamese cuisine. The front of house staff are top tier, incredibly attentive but not intrusive at all, they know what you need before you do without a word uttered. The wine list is so so well curated, I can easily say it’s one of the best wine pairing I have had, the Som’s have put so much thought into the pairing, and where/what producers they are sourcing from. This was a far better experience than some of the best 2 Michelin starred restaurants I have eaten at around the world. If you are in HCMC, this is a must try, you will not regret it. We will definitely be going back.
