We had a very lovely dinner here. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at ease all the time. Each dish was well explained and the sommelier made sure we had the right wines to match. Nice to have the live view on the kitchen. Vietnamese kitchen on the highest level!
Upstairs Tasting Room - Fine dining restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City
이 장소에 대해
Upstairs Tasting Room은 Thảo Điền의 Nguyễn Bá Huân 거리 한적한 구역에 자리하며, 주 6일 저녁 서비스와 일요일 런치 타임을 운영한다. 화요일만 유일하게 쉰다. 메뉴 포맷은 고정되어 있다. 셰프의 베트남 중부 요리 뿌리를 바탕으로 구성된 13코스로, 각 요리는 익숙한 음식을 정밀하게 재해석한 결과물이다. hến xúc bánh đa 한 그릇은 정교하게 플레이팅된 요리로 탈바꿈하며, 풍미의 기억을 고스란히 살리면서 모든 요소를 더욱 치밀하게 다듬는 것이 목표다. 원하는 손님을 위한 선택적 추가 코스도 하나 마련되어 있다.
주방의 역할은 음식을 내보내는 것으로 끝나지 않는다. 셰프들이 직접 코스를 테이블까지 운반하며 각 요리에 담긴 의도를 설명해 준다. 덕분에 식사는 거래적 흐름이 아닌 대화적 리듬으로 이어진다. 소믈리에가 와인 페어링을 담당하지만, 무알코올 옵션도 충분한 독립적 대안이다. 저녁 내내 하나의 음료를 이어 쓰는 방식이 아니라, 각 코스에 맞춰 별도로 구성된 주스 조합이 제공된다.
공간은 작고 의도적으로 조용하며, 오픈 키친이 시야 안에 들어온다. 손님들은 대개 이유를 가지고 방문한다. 생일, 기념일, 혹은 몇 시간을 테이블에서 보내겠다는 의식적인 선택. 13코스는 그 시간을 채우도록 설계되어 있다. 리뷰어들은 공통적으로 여덟 번째 코스 즈음에 포만감이 찾아오지만, 디저트까지도 집중력을 놓치지 않는다고 말한다. 일요일 정오부터 오후 3시까지의 런치 타임은 이 동네에서 이 수준의 레스토랑으로서는 드문 운영이며, 일반적인 저녁 포맷 대신 낮 시간대의 대안을 제공한다.
캐주얼한 bistro, 주말 brunch 스팟, 이국적 컴포트 푸드가 주를 이루는 Thảo Điền 다이닝 씬에서, 이 레스토랑은 격식 있는 스펙트럼의 끝에 자리한 이단아다. 단품 메뉴도 없고, 예약 없이 들어올 수도 없으며, 주방은 손님이 전체 코스 시간을 함께해 줄 것을 기대한다.
리뷰
I had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect. I’d highly recommend going for the ‘wine’ pairing. I opted for the non-alcoholic version because I needed to stay off alcohol for the moment. I initially thought it as a way of not feeling left out while my friend had her drinks. Thinking it was going to be like receiving a consolation prize, I was pleasantly surprised by how marvellously the different juice concoctions paired with each of the dishes and never failed to enhance the already vibrant flavours. It was an excellent food and drinks pairing experience. Kudos to the chef and his staff.
To date, THE BEST FOOD WE HAVE HAD IN OUR LIFE! We have done quite a few tasting menus in our time, but from the service, variety, wine choices, atmosphere, music, every single thing hit the spot exceptionally.
5 star experience. The cuisine is modern Vietnamese with a focus on the central / Hue region where the chef is from. Every dish was a rendition of a fairly popular Vietnamese food. But done so perfectly - immaculate and very well balanced. For an elevated experience, it'll be a bonus to have tried the "common" dish before. From the amuse bouche to the delicate deserts and everything in between we were blown away by the intricacy, execution and service. Favourites include Hen Xuc Banh Da, Goi Muc, Chao Nam, Tra Vai and Tao Pho. Been a while we had a fantastic meal. All for VND2.6M per person which is value compared to other similar standards around the region. Well done Upstairs!!
Absolutely loved my dining experience at Upstairs. It’s hard to describe how good the food was — everything just felt perfectly balanced, thoughtful, and surprisingly comforting at the same time. Each course was like a small story, and you could really feel the chef’s heart and creativity in every bite. The ambiance was intimate yet refined, and the service team was attentive without being intrusive. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in Ho Chi Minh City — I’ll definitely be back!
