The best for the dawn watching. I dont like they use fan because it is too strong to any corner that you sot close to it. Music style need to be more zen so people can talk and just relax.

The Story
About This Place
Wood-fired flavours and handcrafted cocktails share the spotlight at CLAY, a riverside restaurant on Đường Số 6 that pulls in couples and solo diners looking for something more considered than the usual Thao Dien night out. The kitchen leans into open-flame cooking, pairing smoky small plates with a drinks list that stretches from creative cocktails to a curated wine selection. Live jazz sessions on weeknights, rooftop seating overlooking the Saigon River, and a quietly upscale atmosphere make it one of the neighbourhood's stronger options for a proper evening out.

It’s been 7 years since our last visit. We wanted to experience Clay ( sister restaurant to The Deck, which we enjoyed last time) . Clay offers a fabulous vibe, inviting ambience and thoughtful decor. Excellent service, genuine and friendly. The food simply delicious, tasty and very well crafted by the talented French/Singaporean Chef. Highly recommend.
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.
We had such a lovely evening here. The setting is beautiful and overlooks the river, creating the perfect atmosphere. Every dish was amazing, but the steak and grilled scallops were the real highlights. The staff made us feel so welcome. If you're in Saigon, this is a must-visit!!!
I honestly loved the vibe here. The riverside setting feels airy and chill, and it was really comfortable in January, not too hot at all. The food was decent, not wow, but the service truly made the experience for me. The staff were warm, attentive, and actually cared about our experience, which I don’t always see even in more expensive or famous places. It felt genuine, not forced. 😄 I’d say it’s perfect for dates or small friend groups. Just a small note, there are mosquitoes, so bring spray. I really like Clay for its unique atmosphere and I’ll definitely come back.👍🏻
