I entered another world, a relaxing atmosphere, delicious food, without much noise... fresh air... light... and lots of flavor. Coastal Saigon is a restaurant inside the famous Riverside resort, a restaurant that perfectly complements the location... a set menu with fish or meat options, all made to order with fresh fish. Other dishes on the menu that I hope to try again... Actually, I want to try living in Riverside if the price is attractive after talking to the sales department 😅 so I can go to Coastal Saigon more often. I recommend it for anyone who wants to have lunch or dinner in peace.

I love this place so much all the drinks and Starter are good ig. About the food for dining, I don't think it's worth it. Everything are very simple like it's so mid for the place and for the price also A nice place to have a chat with your coworkers or colleagues. If you're looking for somewhere more mature than a coffee shop, this is the place. And outstanding Sunset obviously
Located at the back of a villa compound in Thao Dien is this beautifully decorated restaurant offering riverside views, chill vibes, and a lovely outdoor patio. We visited for a weekday lunch. On offer was the set lunch menu, as well as the main menu. I ordered the Tuna Tataki and Grilled Pork Shoulder from the lunch menu, and my dining partner ordered the Tiger Prawn Roll and Pad Thai from the main menu. Before the starters arrived, we were served grilled sourdough accompanied by olive oil and balsamic vinegar - a nice little addition to the meal. The seaweed salad and ponzu sauce complemented the Tuna Tataki, which was fresh and properly seared. The Grilled Pork Shoulder was also well made and delicious. While both dishes were beautifully presented (as were the other dishes), they were on the small side. My dining partner also enjoyed both her dishes, noting the freshness of the seafood. The service was also friendly and attentive. Worth a repeat? Yes - for a relaxed lunch with a beautiful riverside setting. The lunch menu offers good value, especially given the quality and attention to detail, even if portions are a little small. Prices on the main menu lean much higher, though.
Very nice and relaxing place to watch the world go by. Fantastic view across the Saigon river. We always stay at Riverside serviced Apts. and enjoy this small restaurant on the premises.
Worst birthday dinner... maybe ever? My gf brought me here. First time for both of us. We ordered the grilled seafood platter. A few morsels were warm - but most were room temp or cooler. The grilled oysters were served on a bed of ice, which was really confusing - were they the only items NOT grilled and served chilled on ice? Were they grilled first and had then cooled down because of the ice? Or did they just forget to cook them at all? So they ended up being room temp. I was a little concerned - but this place is "fancy" - surely they must know what they're doing. I bit into a couple of the nasty bastards and tepid, weird-tasting goop exploded into my mouth and I had to spit them into a napkin. My gf yelled at me for being an uncouth caveman and ate a few herself. We were both gurgling, burping and farting for about an hour after dining here. She vomited later. I didn't, but we both had diarrhea. Can I comment on the ambiance? Assuming you are served safely prepared food, you should come here at night so you can't see all the garbage bobbing along with the river's current. While gagging on dirty oysters, I watched a mannequin's head float by, along with a literal bag of garbage. It was a little surreal. On the far bank, there appear to be piles of bags of garbage as well. It's absolutely confounding that anybody would consider this a romantic venue. The server was nice. The peppermint tea was good. Parking was reasonably priced.
