CHIIK Steak & Pasta Thảo Điền - Restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

A fusion restaurant that never disappoints. This time we made a reservation in advance since we were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and we got a fairly private room, which was really nice and comfortable. The food was great overall. The spaghetti and pasta were good and perfectly cooked, while the beef steak was excellent. One dish that really deserves a special mention is the risotto — it was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and had great service minds. I’ve been here several times and it has never disappointed. Highly recommended.

Everything is so perfect, despite the fact that we can't make reservation in prior. Got to wait 20 mins but it's totally worth it. Food is suprisingly delicious, pair with cozy atmosphere here makes a perfect option for couple dating. The only concern i have is that the waiters can offer plate for waste, if customers order shrimp for exp

Rose beef pasta: creamy and a bit spicy as it includes gochujang Shrimp bisque pasta: generally it tastes nice to those who like shrimps but it’s a bit salty. Generally the portion is gud for a group of friends for 3-4 people

My friend and I came here after being drawn in by what appeared to be a warm, welcoming atmosphere. News flash, appearances are deceiving. The service was impressively bad. We ordered a medium rare steak (500k by the way), which arrived essentially still auditioning to return to the farm. Yes, that might have been our fault, however, medium rare universally implies some pink, but this was unapologetically raw. When we asked for it to be recooked, the waiter took it back and, in what must have been a symbolic trip to the kitchen, returned about five minutes later with the exact same steak—still raw. No apology, no concern, no attempt to fix the situation. Just a quiet confidence that we’d accept it this time. Quite frankly, the rest of the food was subpar anyway. The pasta tasted like ketchup and the fries were halfway decent. A cozy atmosphere can only carry a place so far. When the food is careless and the service seems indifferent, the charm wears off very quickly.

Ambiance & Wait Time: This popular, celebrity-frequented spot doesn't take weekend reservations, so expect a 30-40 minute wait (there's comfortable outdoor seating!). It's small, with tables close together, making it a bit noisy. However, the decor is fantastic—every table is beautifully set up for a date with flowers and cute touches. Food & Value: The menu is limited, focusing mainly on pasta and steak sets. We shared the cream pasta with hamburger patties, which was a large portion for two. The food quality is acceptable and very cheap for a Western restaurant, offering great value. The biggest highlight? The food decorations are creative and stunning! Verdict: Great value and atmosphere for a casual date, but the food is decent, not dazzling. Worth the wait for the price and presentation!
