This place is simply mind blowing, after coming to Vietnam so many times this place I can for sure say is the best meal I have had. Everything was good, food terms it is perfect. Unfortunately many dishes I wanted to try were sold out hopefully they can take note of it and try to prepare more stock ingredients for their best seller. Looking forward to come back again on my next trip to try the dishes that I missed this time


Madame Lam - Vietnamese Contemporary Cuisine - Vietnamese restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

About This Place
Michelin Selected and set inside a beautifully restored Indochine-style house with traditional roof tiles, Madame Lam serves contemporary Vietnamese cuisine that draws couples and groups looking for an upscale yet cozy dinner on Trần Ngọc Diện. The menu leans into elevated comfort food — roasted bantam chicken with chili salt, grilled Phu Quoc abalone with scallion oil, and crispy soft shell crab with plum sauce all stand out. Fried rice gets serious attention here too, with options like crab and é leaf or beef with truffle mushroom oil, portioned for sharing. With a 4.8 rating across over 1,200 reviews and a wine list alongside cocktails and craft beer, it handles everything from a quiet romantic evening to a big end-of-year gathering.
Reviews
Michelin-listed Vietnamese restaurant, but unfortunately it was one of the most average Vietnamese set menus I’ve tried. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either, especially considering the price and the Michelin label. What surprised me was that almost all the tables were booked, with only two available when I visited. It feels like a clear example of how a Michelin listing can drive traffic, even when the quality doesn’t quite justify the hype. The fried rice and the rolls were particularly mediocre and felt like the chef didn’t even try. Overall, it was a disappointing experience given the expectations.
Madame Lam is a fantastic dining experience. The food is beautifully prepared, full of authentic flavors, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish felt well balanced and thoughtfully presented. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it a great place both for a special dinner and a comfortable night out. Stylish, calm, and welcoming. A special mention to Kim Yen, who led the service with professionalism and genuine warmth. Attentive without being intrusive, and always making sure everything was just right.. it really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended.
We were looking for a memorable Christmas dinner, and Madame Lam exceeded all expectations. Our family of six enjoyed an amazing multi-course meal created by one of Vietnam’s top chefs. The menu took us on a journey from North to South Vietnam with a fun train station theme. Each dish was creative but still felt familiar and comforting. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were outstanding. Our server, Tieu Ngoc, was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. The overall experience was playful yet elegant, artistic yet welcoming. Five stars in every way. Don’t miss Madame Lam, especially if you’re looking to create a truly special moment.
In looking for dinner we found this cool contempary Vietnamese restaurant, @madamelamrestaurant, that is a 2025 Michelin Selected. Great atmosphere and we love the menu book which has all their dishes in full color making it easy to choose or maybe not. We tried some classic and contemporary looking dishes and they were all great tasting. Shoutout to our server, Tieu Ngoc, who made sure our dishes came out hot. Worth the trip and two 👍 👍!
