IBAJI Dining

INFLEXIBLE SERVICE RUINED OUR LUNCH. Friends of mine visiting from abroad—whom I hadn't seen in two years—recommended this new restaurant. Since they didn't know exactly how many people would be in their group, they said they would handle their own reservation; I made a separate reservation for myself and one other friend (a party of two). It was a Saturday, and we arrived at 11:45 AM, just before the restaurant opened at noon. We told the reception staff that the two reservations were connected and asked if we could sit next to each other. The restaurant said it wasn't possible because they were fully booked and every table was already reserved, althought at that time all table were still empty and were actually the same. We were then given a table for four in a small private room that had one other table. We asked if our friends could sit at that other table, but the answer was again that the restaurant was 100% booked. When our friends arrived with their baby—who was a bit sick—they were seated in a completely different area, right under the cold air conditioning. When they asked to move, they were told again that 100% of the tables were booked. We also asked once more if we could sit at the table next to our friends, willing to move from the private room to the open room, but were told it was impossible. We had to eat separately; the baby was sick, and we were all angry and disappointed. At 1:30 PM—with only an hour left before closing—we asked again if we could sit together. The answer was still "NO," even though—no lie—there were at least 15 empty tables, including the ones right next to our friends. Yet, we were still refused permission to use them. We couldn't enjoy the meal together because we kept going back and forth to talk to one another, not seen each other for so long. While the food was good (most of all seafood tongs were broken), the staff's total lack of flexibility ruined the whole point of our lunch and left us all frustrated. Even when the restaurant closed at 14.30PM my friend complained again that why they kept lying to us and referred to all empty tables, but the staff only said all were booked and its impossible to change tables...really a BIIIG NO-GO if you want to work in hospitality. Very disppointed until now not having enough to enjoy the time with my friends who already left. As well shortly after I had some stomachache from the food.

Absolutely enjoyed our dining experience! The food was really good, with excellent-quality ingredients that you can truly taste. The wide selection on the buffet spread offers something for everyone, making it easy to indulge and discover new favorites. The ambience is another highlight—beautiful, comfortable, and very conducive to a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Whether you’re looking for a perfect date spot, celebrating a special occasion, or simply spending quality time with family and friends, this place is definitely worth visiting. Great food, excellent quality, lovely ambience, and plenty of choices—highly recommended! ✨🍽️

Absolutely loved this place! The view is stunning — we got a window seat overlooking the river and the sunset was just gorgeous. The food matched the ambiance perfectly. The grilled seabass was flaky and well-seasoned, and the chocolate lava cake for dessert was chef’s kiss. Portions are generous and the prices are fair. Staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy. Overall a wonderful experience — highly recommend for a date night or a special occasion! Will definitely be back! 🍽️

Enjoyed a wonderful seafood buffet at IBAJI Dining! The seafood was incredibly fresh, with a great variety of dishes to choose from. The restaurant has a clean, spacious, and comfortable atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff were also warm, attentive, and welcoming. A great spot in Saigon if you're looking for a quality buffet experience. Highly recommended!

Attentive and friendly staff. Super clean and well organized. Good selections of bread and cheese. The salads are also nice. The grills and soups could be more heated, though, they were a bit cold.
