The brisket is the anchor. Owner Trung sources and smokes the beef himself, and guests describe a deep smoke ring and pull-apart texture that earns genuine Texas comparisons. He's known to spend time at tables detailing the sourcing, wood selection, temperature control, and resting process — not as a pitch, but because the craft visibly matters to him.\n\nThe menu is more versatile than the name implies. The brisket calzone and brisket sandwich are frequently cited alongside each other as standouts — two formats that let the smoked meat carry different contexts. Thin-crust pizza with crispy-edged pepperoni, mac and cheese, Caesar salad, pasta, and fresh burrata fill out a card that handles tables with mixed appetites comfortably. Craft beers and wines round out the drinks list.\n\nThe space is small. Outdoor seating sits among greenery and works well for lunch, though evening diners occasionally mention mosquitoes. The indoor section feels more sheltered and draws a warmer, more settled crowd after dark. A pair of resident pets — Leo and Luka, referenced warmly across multiple reviews — contribute to a regulars-bar atmosphere that keeps guests returning. Some make it a fixed stop whenever passing through Saigon from other cities.\n\nRoast & Smoke opens at 7 AM daily, extending to 11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes it serviceable from a morning coffee through a late weekend dinner.","Roast & Smoke는 Nguyễn Văn Hưởng에 위치하며, 텍사스 스모크하우스와 이탈리안 트라토리아를 접목한 메뉴를 선보인다. 스모크 브리스킷이 calzone, burrata, 씬크러스트 pizza와 나란히 자리한다. 메뉴의 중심은 단연 브리스킷이다. 오너 Trung이 직접 소고기를 공수해 훈연하며, 손님들은 깊은 스모크 링과 살살 풀리는 식감을 두고 진짜 텍사스 바비큐와 견주는 평가를 아끼지 않는다. 그는 종종 테이블을 돌며 소고기 산지와 나무 선택, 온도 관리, 레스팅 과정을 직접 설명하는데, 이는 홍보용이 아니라 장인 정신이 그에게 진심으로 중요하기 때문이다.\n\n메뉴는 상호명이 암시하는 것보다 훨씬 다채롭다. 브리스킷 calzone과 브리스킷 sandwich는 단골들이 나란히 꼽는 대표 메뉴로, 훈연육의 매력을 각기 다른 방식으로 풀어낸다. 가장자리가 바삭한 페퍼로니 씬크러스트 pizza, mac and cheese, Caesar salad, pasta, 신선한 burrata까지 갖춰, 취향이 다양한 일행도 무리 없이 식사할 수 있다. 크래프트 맥주와 와인이 음료 리스트를 완성한다.\n\n공간은 아담하다. 야외 좌석은 초록빛 녹음 사이에 자리해 점심 시간에 제격이지만, 저녁에는 모기를 언급하는 손님도 간혹 있다. 실내 공간은 더욱 아늑하고 쾌적하며, 해가 진 후에는 여유롭고 편안한 분위기의 손님들이 모여든다. 여러 리뷰에서 따뜻하게 언급되는 반려동물 Leo와 Luka는 단골 바 같은 정겨운 분위기를 자아내며 재방문을 부른다. 다른 도시에서 사이공을 지날 때마다 이곳을 반드시 들르는 단골도 있을 정도다.\n\nRoast & Smoke는 매일 오전 7시에 문을 열며, 금요일과 토요일에는 오후 11시까지 영업한다. 이른 아침 커피 한 잔부터 늦은 주말 저녁 식사까지 두루 활용하기 좋다.","Roast & Smoke nằm trên đường Nguyễn Văn Hưởng với thực đơn pha trộn giữa nhà hun khói Texas và trattoria Ý — brisket hun khói sánh vai cùng calzone, burrata và pizza đế mỏng. Brisket là linh hồn của quán. Chủ quán Trung tự tay chọn nguyên liệu và hun thịt, thực khách mô tả vòng khói ăn sâu vào thịt và kết cấu dễ xé từng thớ, xứng đáng với những so sánh Texas chính gốc. Anh nổi tiếng hay dành thời gian ngồi cùng bàn với khách, kể về nguồn gốc thịt, loại gỗ hun, kiểm soát nhiệt độ và quy trình để thịt nghỉ — không phải để quảng cáo, mà đơn giản vì cái nghề này thực sự quan trọng với anh.\n\nThực đơn linh hoạt hơn cái tên gợi ý. Brisket calzone và brisket sandwich thường được nhắc đến cùng nhau như hai món nổi bật nhất — hai cách trình bày để thịt hun khói toả ra trong những ngữ cảnh khác nhau. Pizza đế mỏng với pepperoni giòn viền cháy, mac and cheese, Caesar salad, pasta và burrata tươi hoàn thiện thực đơn, đủ để cả bàn với nhiều sở thích khác nhau đều hài lòng. Craft beer và rượu vang điểm thêm cho danh sách đồ uống.\n\nKhông gian quán nhỏ. Khu ngoài trời ngập cây xanh, thích hợp cho bữa trưa, dù thực khách buổi tối đôi khi có nhắc đến muỗi. Khu trong nhà kín đáo hơn, sau khi tối trời thường thu hút đám đông ở lại lâu hơn với không khí ấm cúng hơn. Hai chú thú cưng thường trú — Leo và Luka, được nhắc đến với cảm tình trong nhiều đánh giá — góp phần tạo bầu không khí quán quen kiểu bar, khiến khách cứ muốn quay lại. Không ít người biến đây thành điểm dừng cố định mỗi lần ghé qua Saigon từ các tỉnh thành khác.\n\nRoast & Smoke mở cửa từ 7 giờ sáng hàng ngày, kéo dài đến 11 giờ đêm vào thứ Sáu và thứ Bảy — đủ để phục vụ từ ly cà phê buổi sáng đến bữa tối muộn cuối tuần.",{"Friday":184,"Monday":185,"Saturday":184,"Sunday":185,"Thursday":185,"Tuesday":185,"Wednesday":185},"7 AM–11 PM","7 AM–10 PM","+84 909 469 420","ChIJ_12LhoYndTERIpnKHXZTgzA",{"Friday":189,"Monday":202,"Saturday":210,"Sunday":220,"Thursday":226,"Tuesday":230,"Wednesday":233},{"6":48,"7":190,"8":191,"9":192,"10":193,"11":194,"12":194,"13":195,"14":193,"15":193,"16":196,"17":197,"18":198,"19":199,"20":200,"21":195,"22":201,"23":48},20,27,38,50,59,51,61,72,85,77,68,33,{"6":48,"7":203,"8":191,"9":201,"10":204,"11":205,"12":206,"13":206,"14":204,"15":207,"16":194,"17":208,"18":208,"19":194,"20":205,"21":209,"22":48,"23":48},18,44,48,57,42,66,37,{"6":48,"7":211,"8":211,"9":212,"10":213,"11":208,"12":214,"13":197,"14":215,"15":199,"16":216,"17":216,"18":198,"19":197,"20":217,"21":218,"22":219,"23":48},24,31,46,79,70,100,55,35,22,{"6":48,"7":221,"8":222,"9":205,"10":197,"11":223,"12":223,"13":199,"14":200,"15":206,"16":206,"17":197,"18":224,"19":225,"20":223,"21":206,"22":48,"23":48},16,29,83,90,94,{"6":48,"7":227,"8":203,"9":212,"10":228,"11":195,"12":193,"13":204,"14":204,"15":195,"16":194,"17":208,"18":229,"19":229,"20":206,"21":207,"22":48,"23":48},12,40,62,{"6":48,"7":190,"8":211,"9":222,"10":201,"11":212,"12":201,"13":212,"14":218,"15":213,"16":196,"17":231,"18":232,"19":207,"20":228,"21":204,"22":48,"23":48},64,53,{"6":48,"7":219,"8":221,"9":190,"10":222,"11":207,"12":207,"13":218,"14":209,"15":193,"16":208,"17":199,"18":223,"19":200,"20":204,"21":212,"22":48,"23":48},"moderate","#C99B4A","https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipPM7EnQH8hNuGXf7SseUnBYvLNPEkbrM-MrDoY5=w2000-h2000-k-no",4.7,350,{"average_rating":237,"distribution":240,"items":241,"total_count":238},{"1":48,"2":48,"3":48,"4":48,"5":47},[242,249,254,260,266,272,277,283],{"author":243,"photos":244,"profile_image":245,"profile_url":6,"rating":246,"source":103,"text":247,"time":248},"Rhys Smith",[],"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVr0aXxusWDX7SFX9WJEvKhbkGjzP0e4izz_6qmvfJavdcrlweX=s120-c-rp-mo-ba4-br100",5,"One of my all time favourites!

Really well-seasoned, not too salty, just right. The pizza was solid too: thin crust, crispy bottom, and plenty of cheese. The pepperoni was the star though—spicy, a little crispy on the edges, and full of flavor. Definitely a satisfying meal if you’re craving something hearty and comforting.","2025-5-10",{"author":273,"photos":274,"profile_image":275,"profile_url":6,"rating":246,"source":103,"text":276,"time":4},"Will Watters",[],"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjU55Sm2f3Kpzpk6_nQAQkyaNxYrj4wLeftTCbNrBFX4nCqgP1Ru=s120-c-rp-mo-ba2-br100","Roast & Smoke in Thao Dien is on another level. I genuinely don’t think there’s anyone in Vietnam more knowledgeable about brisket than the owner. He spent nearly 30 minutes at our table walking us through everything. From sourcing the beef to the exact smoking process, wood selection, temperature control, and resting technique. If you care about real barbecue, this place is the real deal.\n\nThe brisket is Texas-level. Legitimately. Deep smoke ring, melt-in-your-mouth texture the kind you expect in Austin, not Saigon. It’s rare to find authentic American-style smoked brisket done this well anywhere in Southeast Asia.\n\nAnd it’s not just barbecue. The pastas are shockingly good, honestly better than Pizza 4P’s. The kitchen clearly cares about technique across the board. Add to that the best beer selection in Thao Dien craft, well-curated, and thoughtfully paired with the food.\n\nThis place is a hidden gem. If you live in Ho Chi Minh City or you’re visiting Thao Dien and care about high-quality smoked meat, craft beer, and serious hospitality, Roast & Smoke is worth it 1000%.

Menu was diverse, interesting and gave you a lot to think about. Restaurant itself was fine, we are outdoors, but next time will go indoors as there seemed to be a few flies around. Anyway, the food..  Brisket was spot on in terms of smokiness and flavor. Had the Brisket sandwich which was unbelievable in taste - a big recommendation here for a first time visitor. Likewise the Brisket Calzone was also unbelievably tasty - spot on. Overall a great first experience - thank you.","2024-11-24",{"author":284,"photos":285,"profile_image":286,"profile_url":6,"rating":246,"source":103,"text":287,"time":288},"Agnes an",[],"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjV-y-j_8gpiUP0PRaCA6f8zCSBEXNwaF4Hazs01oZ6X0jMid-Ad=s120-c-rp-mo-ba5-br100","Cozy little spot: kinda small, but super comfy.\nLush greenery outside, though... beware the mosquitoes!\nFood’s pretty good: Caesar salad hits the mark, calzone’s just okay, pizza’s a win.\nStaff are sweet and chill - good vibes all around","2025-5-27",[290,297,306,313,320],{"categories":291,"id":292,"primary_image":293,"rating":246,"slug":294,"title":295},[16],"83782206-a3da-46bc-95fa-91b04b026714","https://images.thaodien.app/images/take-five-cafe/google_maps/22e801d842b1800a.jpg","take-five-cafe",{"en":296,"vi":296},"Take Five Cafe",{"categories":298,"id":301,"primary_image":302,"rating":246,"slug":303,"title":304},[16,299,300],"Bakery","Pastry shop","b849368f-2723-4a09-89e8-3fc3605a6a25","https://images.thaodien.app/images/lost-sought-bakery-cafe/google_maps/a8666ade96ef62db.jpg","lost-sought-bakery-cafe",{"en":305,"vi":305},"LOST & SOUGHT - BAKERY CAFE",{"categories":307,"id":308,"primary_image":309,"rating":246,"slug":310,"title":311},[18],"5e1ab07f-0d7e-4256-9be7-43a7fa85dea2","https://images.thaodien.app/images/nha-hang-phan-la-e/google_maps/3ec98609855b48ed.jpg","nha-hang-phan-la-e",{"en":312,"vi":312},"Nhà Hàng Phan Lá É",{"categories":314,"id":315,"primary_image":316,"rating":246,"slug":317,"title":318},[16],"9c59f666-2016-4025-8e81-2958d9808ef7","https://images.thaodien.app/images/ca-phe-va-tra-23-o/google_maps/8290e1af7cb68586.jpg","ca-phe-va-tra-23-o",{"en":319,"vi":319},"Cà phê và trà 23 độ",{"categories":321,"id":322,"primary_image":323,"rating":246,"slug":324,"title":325},[16],"15182fd4-1fb7-43f3-8186-fec128adc740","https://images.thaodien.app/images/xliii-specialty-coffee/google_maps/337c70a53f08a8c6.jpg","xliii-specialty-coffee",{"en":326,"vi":326},"XLIII Specialty Coffee","roast-smoke-thao-dien",{"facebook":329,"instagram":330,"website":331},"https://facebook.com/RoastnSmokeThaoDien","https://www.instagram.com/RoastnSmokeThaoDien/","http://facebook.com/RoastnSmokeThaoDien","free","집착에 가까운 열정의 오너 피트마스터가 직접 선보이는 텍사스 스타일 스모크 브리스킷, 그리고 아늑한 Thao Dien 가든에서 즐기는 calzone과 pizza.","Brisket hun khói kiểu Texas từ một pitmaster chủ quán đam mê đến ám ảnh, cùng calzone và pizza trong không gian sân vườn ấm cúng giữa Thao Dien.","Roast & Smoke Thao Dien","2026-06-03T01:51:05.225187+00:00",[76,338,79,339,340],"leafy","warm","unhurried"]
