Very cool place to eat healthy. Excellent idea to put calories value on the menu. Will come back


SOMA @ Green Box - Cafe in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Về Địa Điểm Này
SOMA @ Green Box có một vị trí khá đặc biệt trong bức tranh ẩm thực Thao Dien — mở cửa từ 8 giờ sáng như một quán cà phê và tiếp tục hoạt động đến tận nửa đêm như một cocktail bar, không có ranh giới cứng nhắc nào giữa hai vai trò đó.
Thực đơn đọc như một cuốn bản đồ thế giới thu nhỏ thành các bowl ngũ cốc và bánh mì dẹt: baba ganoush và za'atar Trung Đông xuất hiện cạnh cá hồi phủ miso và sushi rice, trong khi kimchi quesadilla nối liền ẩm thực Hàn Quốc và Tex-Mex không chút ngại ngùng. Đĩa Hello-Me kết hợp halloumi với bơ và hạt cổ đại; Shawarma Ramah gộp gà nướng than, feta và bạc hà vào một bowl. Những món như LGBTQ Bowl hay Pull Up Plate cho thấy một căn bếp thoải mái với cách đặt tên vui nhộn đi kèm sự phối hợp nguyên liệu được cân nhắc kỹ lưỡng. Tahini Tahini — falafel đậu đen với hummus củ dền — nằm chắc trong nhóm món thiên thực vật chiếm một phần đáng kể thực đơn, dù Kale! Caesar với gà luộc nước cốt dừa và sandwich gà chiên giòn xác nhận đây không phải quán ăn thuần sức khỏe.
Với 784 đánh giá trên Google và 4,4 sao, quán thu hút một lượng khách ổn định gồm cả expat lẫn người địa phương muốn sự linh hoạt: mở laptop lúc giữa trưa, gọi cocktail sau bữa tối, hay cả hai trên cùng một hóa đơn. Nằm trên một đoạn phố yên tĩnh hơn, tách ra khỏi trục đường chính của Thao Dien, nơi đây đóng vai trò là điểm neo cả ngày đáng tin cậy — một trong số ít địa điểm trong khu phố mà cả bếp lẫn quầy bar đều hoạt động hết công suất từ bữa sáng đến last call.

Đánh Giá
Soma/Green Box, is a very cool, cafe, restaurant, and dare I say workspace. It’s located in the beautiful heart of Thao Dien, and if you’re looking to connect, or just be around the ‘expat community’ then this is definitely one of the places to be. There is an extensive and very affordable menu, that accommodates all culinary preferences, with a wide range of healthy drinks, Vietnamese ca phe, and tea. The staff are very attentive and you don’t have to wait long to get service. I ordered the ‘Chix Bowl’ and a Peach Tea and happily munched my way through this flavorful and wholesome meal, trying to savor the multiple textures and tastes, but admittedly finding it hard to resist wolfing it down. This is a great place for meetings, socializing, or just catching up on your emails, there is plenty of seating and it’s perfectly ergonomically spaced out so you’ll never be too close to someone if you want some privacy. The owner has done a fantastic job of making this a very friendly and relaxed environment, you’ll feel at ease amidst the beautiful foliage of the open air seating space or inside the well lit, spacious interior. Soma/Green Box is one of those places where you could happily work your way through the entire menu. Not all at once obviously! See you again soon and thanks for feeding and watering me! 🙏🏼
Been here several times. The place is packed full of foreigners. The drinks are pretty good. Understandable pricing considering its location. There's an English club every Thursday for those who wanna practice.
First time here yesterday and was amazed. Great atmosphere, comfy vibes with indoor and outdoor space. Tons of greenery. The staff are so friendly and so attentive. Also was shocked by how big the salads were and how good. Picture doesn’t do it justice. Great space to work from or great space to just hangout with good company
I was thoroughly impressed with this place on my very first visit. The bowls they offer are extremely unique and packed with flavor. The atmosphere is peaceful, located in a quiet alley, making for a lovely dining experience. While the outdoor seating could have been more comfortable, it did not take away from the overall ambiance. The only drawback was the small flies, but it was not a big deal. The staff were friendly but could use some improvement in being more attentive to their customers. The quality of the food was exceptional, made with clean and healthy ingredients. I am eager to come back to try more items on their menu, and I highly recommend this spot.
