Everything here is truly amazing! I’ve been to Clay many times with friends, family, and even for dates, and every visit has been a great experience. What I love most is how unique the atmosphere is. Sometimes it’s lively and energetic with exciting party nights, while other times it’s quiet, chill, and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river. It really has a different vibe depending on when you visit. The staff are also incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. Since I’ve been here so many times, I especially want to give a big compliment to the entire team rather than just mentioning any individual staff member. They’ve consistently made my visits enjoyable. Definitely a place worth trying! I highly recommend everyone to visit Clay — you won’t regret it! ❤️

Reviews
I enjoyed dining here. I stumbled upon this restaurant after getting a bit lost and the food here was a pleasant surprise. The oysters were very delicious, I would come back for those alone. The service was attentive and receptive as well! The view of the water at night is absolutely gorgeous and elevates the entire experience. Perfect for a date night or groups!
I had a great experience at Clay Saigon. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. The grilled seafood was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish was enjoyable, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent service in Saigon. I will definitely come back!
Loved this place for a relaxed riverside experience. We just had wine and a mixed cheeseboard. Cheeseboard was nice but a little sparse with only a few different cheeses and meats. Could have easily added a few more things. Nice bottle of Italian wine, actually we had two as it was a rainy night and just loved relaxing with family. Great service too!
Food was below average, nothing special for the price range they offer. Service was good, staffs are sweet, but not too attentive. We had to move because the table next to us were smoking cigars, I guess it’s a norm for people to smoke in public in Vietnam. The atmosphere and view was excellent, but I can’t get over the fact that they allowed public smoking for such a “classy” restaurant. 🤷🏻♀️ Another major issues is there is NO Vietnamese menu, which is absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful to Vietnamese locals. I feel like most of their high ratings were because of the nice view and atmosphere.
