Tasting Room sits on a quiet stretch of Nguyễn Bá Huân in Thảo Điền, running dinner service six nights a week plus a Sunday lunch sitting — Tuesday is the only dark night. The format is fixed: a 13-course menu built around the chef's central Vietnamese roots, each dish a precise reinterpretation of something familiar. A bowl of hến xúc bánh đa becomes a composed plate; the ambition is always to preserve the flavor memory while tightening every element around it. One optional add-on course extends the meal for those who want it.\n\nThe kitchen's involvement doesn't stop at the pass. Chefs carry the courses to the table themselves and explain the thinking behind each dish, so the meal moves at a conversational pace rather than a transactional one. The sommelier manages wine pairings, but the non-alcoholic option is a genuine alternative — purpose-built juice compositions that shift with each course rather than a single beverage stretched across the evening.\n\nThe room is small and intentionally quiet, with sightlines into an open kitchen. Guests tend to arrive with a reason: a birthday, an anniversary, a deliberate decision to spend several hours at the table. The 13 courses are designed to fill that time; reviewers consistently note that fullness arrives around course eight, and the desserts still hold attention. Sunday's noon-to-3 PM sitting is rare for a restaurant at this level in the neighborhood, offering a daylight alternative to the standard dinner format.\n\nWithin Thảo Điền's dining scene — dominated by casual bistros, weekend brunch spots, and international comfort food — this is the outlier operating at the formal end of the spectrum. There is no à la carte option, no drop-in flexibility, and the kitchen expects the full duration.","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.\n\n주방의 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.\n\n공간은 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.\n\n캐주얼한 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.","Upstairs Tasting Room nằm trên một đoạn yên tĩnh của đường Nguyễn Bá Huân tại Thảo Điền, phục vụ bữa tối sáu tối mỗi tuần cộng thêm một ca ăn trưa vào Chủ Nhật — thứ Ba là ngày duy nhất nhà hàng không mở cửa. Thực đơn cố định: 13 món xoay quanh nguồn cội ẩm thực miền Trung của bếp trưởng, mỗi món là một sự tái diễn giải chắt lọc từ những thứ quen thuộc. Một bát hến xúc bánh đa được chuyển hóa thành đĩa ăn có kết cấu; tham vọng xuyên suốt là giữ lại ký ức về hương vị trong khi tinh gọn mọi thành phần xung quanh nó. Thực khách có thể chọn thêm một món tùy chọn để kéo dài bữa ăn nếu muốn.\n\nBếp không chỉ dừng lại ở việc hoàn thiện món. Các đầu bếp tự tay mang từng món lên bàn và giải thích tư duy đằng sau mỗi đĩa, khiến bữa ăn diễn ra ở nhịp độ của một cuộc trò chuyện hơn là một giao dịch. Sommelier phụ trách ghép rượu vang, nhưng thực đơn đồ uống không cồn là một lựa chọn thực thụ — những thức uống được xây dựng có chủ đích, thay đổi theo từng món thay vì một loại đồ uống duy nhất kéo dài suốt cả buổi tối.\n\nKhông gian nhỏ và cố ý được giữ yên tĩnh, với tầm nhìn hướng thẳng vào bếp mở. Thực khách thường đến với một lý do cụ thể: sinh nhật, kỷ niệm, hay một quyết định có chủ ý để dành vài giờ bên bàn ăn. 13 món được thiết kế để lấp đầy khoảng thời gian đó; nhiều người nhận xét rằng cảm giác no bắt đầu xuất hiện từ khoảng món thứ tám, thế nhưng phần tráng miệng vẫn đủ sức giữ sự chú ý. Ca ăn trưa Chủ Nhật từ 12 giờ đến 3 giờ chiều là điều hiếm gặp ở một nhà hàng tầm này trong khu vực, mang đến lựa chọn ban ngày thay thế cho hình thức bữa tối thông thường.\n\nTrong bức tranh ẩm thực của Thảo Điền — vốn được chi phối bởi những quán bistro thân thiện, điểm brunch cuối tuần và các món ăn quốc tế dễ chịu — Upstairs Tasting Room là ngoại lệ, vận hành ở phân khúc trang trọng nhất của thị trường. Không có thực đơn à la carte, không có sự linh hoạt cho khách ghé vãng lai, và nhà bếp kỳ vọng thực khách sẽ dành trọn thời gian.",{"Friday":140,"Monday":140,"Saturday":140,"Sunday":141,"Thursday":140,"Tuesday":142,"Wednesday":140},"6–11 PM","12–3 PM, 6–11 PM","Closed","+84 859 800 586","ChIJByyUIwAndTER2dEEgRtcHxM",{},"#C99B4A",4.8,128,{"average_rating":147,"distribution":150,"items":153,"total_count":148},{"1":151,"2":151,"3":151,"4":151,"5":152},0,8,[154,161,167,173,179,185,191,197],{"author":155,"photos":156,"profile_image":157,"profile_url":6,"rating":158,"source":95,"text":159,"time":160},"Jet Jet",[],"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVJUu5SY3QKy8pw2eljc5AqMK72sn0eYyo-EhNGtGO-BlV8WEc=s120-c-rp-mo-br100",5,"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.

Every course was absolutely on point—beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor.\n\nThe service was exceptional, with staff that were not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable. One of the highlights was that the chefs themselves served each course and shared the story behind the dish, which added a very personal and memorable touch to the evening.\n\nThe wine tasting was also thoughtfully curated, pairing perfectly with each course and enhancing the overall dining experience.\n\nSpecial thanks to Chef Hiep, the head chef, whose passion and creativity really shine through in every detail.

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.
