SOMA @ Green Box - Cafe in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

이 장소에 대해
SOMA @ Green Box는 Thao Dien의 다이닝 스펙트럼 안에서 남다른 위치를 차지한다. 오전 8시에 카페로 문을 열어 자정까지 칵테일 바로 이어지면서도, 그 사이 어디에도 뚜렷한 전환점이 없다.
푸드 메뉴는 그레인 보울과 flatbread로 펼쳐놓은 세계 지도 같다. 중동식 baba ganoush와 za'atar가 미소 글레이즈 연어, sushi rice와 나란히 자리하고, 김치 quesadilla는 한국과 Tex-Mex를 거리낌 없이 하나로 잇는다. Hello-Me 플레이트는 할루미와 아보카도, 고대 곡물을 조합하며, Shawarma Ramah는 블랙닝 치킨과 페타, 민트를 한 보울에 담아낸다. LGBTQ Bowl이나 Pull Up Plate 같은 메뉴명에서는 유머러스한 작명 감각과 진지한 재료 조합이 공존하는 주방의 성격이 드러난다. Tahini Tahini — 블랙빈 팔라펠에 비트루트 후무스를 곁들인 — 는 메뉴의 상당 부분을 구성하는 플랜트 포워드 카테고리에 확실히 속하지만, 코코넛 포칭 치킨을 올린 Kale! Caesar와 튀긴 치킨 커틀릿 샌드위치는 이곳이 건강식 전문점에 그치지 않음을 보여준다.
784개의 구글 리뷰에 4.4점의 평점을 기록한 만큼, 이곳은 유연함을 원하는 외국인과 로컬 모두에게 꾸준한 지지를 받는다. 점심엔 노트북을 펼치고, 저녁 식사 후엔 칵테일을 즐기거나, 같은 탭에서 두 가지를 모두 해결할 수 있다.
Thao Dien의 주요 도로에서 한 블록 비켜선 조용한 골목에 자리하면서도, SOMA @ Green Box는 믿음직한 올데이 앵커로 기능한다. 아침부터 마지막 주문까지 주방과 바가 최대로 돌아가는, 이 동네에서 몇 안 되는 공간 중 하나다.

리뷰
Soma/Green Box, is a very cool, cafe, restaurant, and dare I say workspace. It’s located in the beautiful heart of Thao Dien, and if you’re looking to connect, or just be around the ‘expat community’ then this is definitely one of the places to be. There is an extensive and very affordable menu, that accommodates all culinary preferences, with a wide range of healthy drinks, Vietnamese ca phe, and tea. The staff are very attentive and you don’t have to wait long to get service. I ordered the ‘Chix Bowl’ and a Peach Tea and happily munched my way through this flavorful and wholesome meal, trying to savor the multiple textures and tastes, but admittedly finding it hard to resist wolfing it down. This is a great place for meetings, socializing, or just catching up on your emails, there is plenty of seating and it’s perfectly ergonomically spaced out so you’ll never be too close to someone if you want some privacy. The owner has done a fantastic job of making this a very friendly and relaxed environment, you’ll feel at ease amidst the beautiful foliage of the open air seating space or inside the well lit, spacious interior. Soma/Green Box is one of those places where you could happily work your way through the entire menu. Not all at once obviously! See you again soon and thanks for feeding and watering me! 🙏🏼
Been here several times. The place is packed full of foreigners. The drinks are pretty good. Understandable pricing considering its location. There's an English club every Thursday for those who wanna practice.
First time here yesterday and was amazed. Great atmosphere, comfy vibes with indoor and outdoor space. Tons of greenery. The staff are so friendly and so attentive. Also was shocked by how big the salads were and how good. Picture doesn’t do it justice. Great space to work from or great space to just hangout with good company
I was thoroughly impressed with this place on my very first visit. The bowls they offer are extremely unique and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is peaceful, located in a quiet alley, making for a lovely dining experience. While the outdoor seating could have been more comfortable, it did not take away from the overall ambiance. The only drawback was the small flies, but it was not a big deal. The staff were friendly but could use some improvement in being more attentive to their customers. The quality of the food was exceptional, made with clean and healthy ingredients. I am eager to come back to try more items on their menu, and I highly recommend this spot.
