Chấm - Vietnamese Authentic Restaurant

Nice spot for family dine-out Food 1.8 🌟 5+/5 Absolutely gorgeous spring rolls dip with passion fruit sauce. Innovative and yet, very refreshing right on the first bite, slight sweet and sour, great way to start a meal 5/5 Crab spring rolls - fresh, hot, crispy, can use by itself or wrap with fresh herbs for a fresher cuốn style bite 4.5/5 Black pepper beef - juicy and tender beef chunks, could use a bit more seasoning, nice fluffy fries (not crispy style) 4.5/5 Grilled lemongrass beef - tender meat, could use a bit more seasoning 5/5 Creme Caramel - a bit more dense style, still nice and smooth. If you like classic taste, don't add the milk 4/5 Chocolate mousse - a bit dry on the sponge, but the ice cream in the middle makes it feel like ice-cream sandwich, which is nice. Service 1.0 🌟 Staff are nice and attentive Price 1.0 🌟 We ordered 3 Restaurant Week sets (350k/ea), with plan to share among 7pax of adult and a baby without being too full, so we can try other items on the menu. Def overestimate our ability to eat. 1 set can easily be shared between 2 people 😅 Also ordered 2 starter platters, 2 different fried rice, grill fish, 2 veggie dishes, and some had seperate drinks. Ended up about 300k/pax (just food), decent price for a very full dinner. Environment 1.0 🌟 Nice space, moderate noise, easy to talk. Suitable for groups, families Overall 4.8 🌟 Tried it ✅️

We had a lovely dinner at Chấm! Amelia was so attentive to us and even organised a cake for my mum’s birthday! The food was also delicious and there was a great view!

I was invited here for a business dinner. So my experiences are unlike paying customers. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves and the dishes served were all local Vietnamese food. I like how the food was presented, they looked good on the eyes and also definitely taste as good as it looked. My business associate who is a local also mentioned that the food was not bad. Overall service was good too. The restaurant has a nice vibe to it and has an adjacent rooftop bar which I felt was quite cosy. I might just come back here on my own if I were to come back to Saigon soon.

Exquisite flavours, excellent first class flawless service, and an enchanting atmosphere define this hidden gem. It delivers the rigour and sophistication of fine dining at an astonishingly affordable price. The staff’s vibrant positivity and graceful hospitality truly elevate the entire dining experience.

It was our second last night in Saigon, so we decided to eat somewhere a little fancy (date night 🥰). Google reviews led me to this restaurant, located in the Icon Hotel. I immediately fell in love with the menu with its lovely food photos, huge menu and reasonable prices. I was aware of the Tet holiday, so I made a reservation to ensure it was open. We were seated in the lovely restaurant, then advised that they had a (vastly) reduced menu due to Tet. We were extremely disappointed as we had already chosen 4 menu items from the lovely menu to have. We had maybe 8 menu items to choose from, of which 2 were vegetarian. This information would have been good to know at the time of booking!! Service was terrible, and got worse as the restaurant started to fill up. These guys were in the weeds! The food quality was average at best. The drinks were ok, but we weren’t offered more than one. The lady, who was the greeter/waitress, shouted across the restaurant at the other staff as other customers were raising their hands to try and order. Also, gin should come with a mixer, not 220K for a ‘shot’ then 70K for a tin of tonic! Taking the PI55! I have read other reviews, which have been very positive, so I’m bummed to have to give such a terrible review. Sorry, Tet is not an excuse in this scenario. Do better, or close for Tet!
