I came here at night, and the place was not quite as good as I had expected. I feel like it would be much nicer during the daytime, as there is a lot of greenery around and the space would probably look more beautiful in natural light. The design and atmosphere are nice, but the seats we had were not very comfortable. We ended up just having one drink and then left.

About This Place
From the team behind Layla and The WKND, an all-day Thao Dien bar where the watermelon cake rivals the cocktails.
Reviews
Had nice bottles of Reisling which were nicely priced. Had the "Olive you long time Mary' which is by far the best cocktail I've had this year - tastes like a deconstructed bloody Mary which had the most delicious salty, olive foam. The staff were amazing and attentive. Great location to people watch and interior is cute. Nice place to chill with friends.
Always thought of visiting this place as it looks quite inviting, and I took my chance today which was every worth of my decision. The drinks we ordered were nice but what we loved was their deserts. We ordered watermelon cake & lemon olive oil cake, both were in their flavours!! The ambience was very relaxing, kind of Bali vibe in the bustle of HCM. The staff were pleasant & welcoming!! Must try their deserts!!
Our waiter was so sweet! Gorgeous atmosphere and setting, loved the rooftop bar seating and downstairs is beautiful too. We enjoyed our drinks and yummy pastry. Definitely try it out you're in the area.
Absolutely loving No Honey No Monkey! The moment you walk in, you’re hit with a fun tropical vibe and a totally chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The bites are mouthwatering, and the cocktails are next-level!.. No surprise coming from the same creative minds behind Layla, Summer Experiment, and The WKND. So happy to have a rare new speakeasy right in the heart of Thao Dien, District 2 Saigon! Cheers Guys! New Hot Spot in Town #Sustainable #Bar🍹🌴
