Reviews
All the RuNam's are fabulous but I especially love this one. It's our first time at this location and it's just as nice as any of the others. It's late at night so it was emptier with maybe two to three other tables that sat outside. The sweets here were all delicious. Not too sweet or overly creamy, just right for me. They gave us the bigger cake slice for free, which is so kind! I believe it's the corn cake. I wish there was actually a bit more corn flavor but it was good otherwise. Since there wasn't anyone here, it was very calming to take our time to talk and relax! I highly recommend venturing out to the 2nd District area around here. There's a ton of aesthetically pleasing and sometimes equally delicious food places. It's typically foreigners living around here so the taste is usually catered towards them and there's usually a focus on visuals.
Very nice and cosy terrace ideal for january / feb outside diner and drinks. Yummy Vietnamese fusion bistronomy. I know this brand since day one and even before and they have been delivering steadily. Always a good moment there.
Runam has always been my go-to weekend destination (I usually visit the branch on Công Xã Paris Street). A few days ago, I stopped by the Thảo Điền branch. The food and drinks were still delicious, and I especially enjoy the steak there. However, as this is a restaurant aimed at a high-end customer segment, the staff at this branch were talking and laughing loudly, which affected my dining experience. I hope this can be improved
Wow, such a lovely coffee spot! RuNam Coffee always impresses me with its smooth, rich flavor—a must-visit for any true coffee lover. The quality is consistently high, and I find myself enjoying every sip. The space is cozy and chill, perfect for a relaxing break or casual meet-up. That said, the coffee size is quite small for me, so I usually end up ordering two cups every time I visit! Still, the atmosphere, taste, and service make it totally worth it. Highly recommended for a calm, quality coffee experience.
