New restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City to check out this November
This month’s hottest new restaurants and bars in Ho Chi Minh City to check out.
Review: Mien Saigon
Mien Saigon’s had a major glow-up, ditching its old Euro-fusion vibe for a fresh mod-Viet approach with a revamped menu, new dishes, and an updated look. But the big question is—will it be better than the last?
Review: Opera Brunch, Park Hyatt Saigon
With its top-rate quintessential Italian fare, Opera at the Park Hyatt Saigon has earned a spot on Gambero Rosso’s Top Italian Restaurants list two years in a row—so yeah, it’s one of the best brunch spots in Saigon, hands down.
Review: Antica Dining
Antica Dining, the new kid in Thao Dien, has moved into Vintage Emporium's old spot.
It keeps the same cosy vibes, motorbike parking, and private pool, but with a fresh, lighter look that says, "I'm grown-up, but still fun."
Review: Yuzu Omakase, Vietnam
I'll admit, this isn't my usual Omakase experience.
As a purist, the idea of a flashy, experimental twist had me sceptical. But when the invite to Yuzu Omakase came, I couldn't resist. With gold dust, fire theatrics, foam, and being the third outpost of an award-winning international brand, how could I say no?
Review: Papaya Papa
If Banana Mama was the fun, flirty rooftop for selfies, Papaya Papa is its sleek, sophisticated older sister. The same team is behind it, but they've elevated everything—from the chic interiors to a menu that makes you forget it's a rooftop bar.
Review: Brix Villa by Chef Phong
Stepping up its culinary game with a new Head Chef, The Brix is redefining itself beyond its reputation for Sunday Aperol Spritzes by the pool, lively happy hours with DJ beats, and classic Eggs Benedict breakfasts.
Review: House Of Merlin Eatery & Cocktail Bar
Nestled in a quiet alley off bustling Pasteur Street in District 1, House of Merlin (HoM) is a hidden gem in Ho Chi Minh City's nightlife. This spot offers more than drinks; it’s a steampunk adventure brought to life through cocktails crafted by Head Bartender Thanh and Co-Founder Nguyen
FIREWORKS: Serving both fire and ‘vibes’ to Saigon’s dining scene

Review: NP Bistro, Chef Nghiem Minh Duc’s new modern Vietnamese bistro
