MorwensJuly 13, 2014If you like oysters, try their Oyster shots! Succulent and fresh oyster with bloody Mary in Xu Bar style. Liquid Nitrogen Lychee is fancy (something of a novelty from the usual lychee martini) .Upvote2Downvote
Valerie LeSeptember 27, 2014They serve food in small plates; everything was good but skip the eggrolls. Desserts are served in spoons. The durian tiramisu and liquid nitrogen durian rice cakes are bomb. Great loungey environment

wine0blueOctober 16, 2015I came to this restaurant tonight. Even though the restaurant is full by the time I came, the staffs are very helpful and provide good service. I'm pleased with the food as well ☺️Upvote1Downvote
Beer SinghNovember 12, 2013Best food we've had in Vietnam. Lamb was excellent and the dessert bites are the perfect portion. Manager brought out two glasses of desert wine for free after learning it was our honeymoon.

HeidiJanuary 16, 2018Frequented by expats and wealthy locals. DJ plays great music but it’s so loud, you have to shout your drink order to the bartender. Depending on bartender, cocktails run from excellent to good.UpvoteDownvote
National Geographic Traveller (UK)October 3, 2014Heaving with a largely expat and wealthy Vietnamese crowd, this popular bar wows with its liquid nitrogen cocktails and exotic Vietnamese mixes, including Sticky Mulberry Read moreUpvoteDownvote

Serene YeeSeptember 26, 2011A meal here never disappoints. Perfect ambience for a memorable date. Once upon a time, they served this Molten Lava Chocolate Cake which was earth-shattering yums. Wish they'd bring it back!UpvoteDownvote
Shaun NoatuMarch 20, 2012Do the Chef's set menu. I have honestly not had food this good out of Paris and Napa Valley. The wine pairings were surprisingly good as well!!!UpvoteDownvote
They are known to serve the BEST and authentic Bun Bo Hue, noodle soup.

Quentin LafonJuly 26, 2014Maybe the best nightlife place in Saigon. Very sophisticated, friendly staff. A must-do !UpvoteDownvote
Bing YanApril 27, 2013Delicious! fusion style. Despite what the waitress said, the tasting menu (5 courses) are more than enough for one.Upvote1Downvote
Philipp SteggerJanuary 2, 2014Good food, but it seems it past its best days. Oyster shots are good! Good wine selection. Desserts tasted a bit strange.Upvote1Downvote
VasiliDecember 28, 2015Hakushu Japanese single malt straight up. Like a Mizuno nine iron at St Andrews :-). Go for it!UpvoteDownvote
Shou WatanabeSeptember 25, 2011Superb service, tasty well presented dishes, and with cozy atmosphere.Upvote1Downvote
Minh TranJune 19, 2014This place is very Western-ized, upscale and trendy (and expensive too), so it attracts a sizable crowd of successful career and stylish dress 25-40 ladies.Fusion foods is nothing to write home about.UpvoteDownvote- Sceney banger full of cool kids and expats. Music is good though twice as loud as it needs to be. Lots of pretty people. And a few boorish expats. Decent martinis.UpvoteDownvote
Agnes BosmansAugust 3, 2012Unexpected delicious. Resto @ first floor.Trendy place. Concept of sharing and tasting was extraordinary!UpvoteDownvote

Adrienne MDecember 27, 2017Yes, apparently smoking indoors is still a thing. *cough cough*Yes, this might affect whether you enjoy your cocktail. #grossUpvoteDownvote
Gavin WhitlockOctober 24, 2011Absolutely amazing. Fabulous service and food ... and don't forget about the cocktails and wine.UpvoteDownvote
Very good cocktails and excellent service. Awesome real DJs using the best software and hardware from Apple.Upvote2Downvote
Ayeshah Alam KhanFebruary 19, 2013It's neither a club nor a lounge. There is no dance floor to dance but the music is too loud to have a conversation. Wish they would choose one way to be. Right now it's just a pick up jointUpvote1Downvote
EXCELLENT chicken salad. cheap cocktails during happy hoursUpvote2Downvote
Yna ManluluNovember 26, 2014Nice chill place for yuppies who do not like crowded bars.UpvoteDownvote
Álvaro OrtizSeptember 5, 2013Eating here is not worth it at all. "Fusion food" which goes not too far from vietnamese classics. Super-expensive food and not that original. You're paying the coolness factor.UpvoteDownvote
Xiu NhonFebruary 27, 2011Cool DJ-ed music, nice cocktail. Deserts are also nice but just in spoonsUpvote1Downvote
Nice staffs and great cocktails. Come at happy time from 530 to 730pm, and free chips !!!UpvoteDownvote
