Sóno - Restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Saw many reviews of this place and decided to try the fairytale menu. It was nothing short of amazing and each dish felt specially curated. We felt like every ingredient in each dish was purposeful, and was not added in for the sake of the story. We were served by Dong Duong and he was really kind to explain all the stories in detail, which really added to the storytelling experience. With such great service and food, we would really recommend this place!

Very aesthetically pleasing and unique. The service was great, extremely friendly staff. Thank you, Viet Hoang and Dong Duong were the best tonight! We truly appreciate you both!!

A concept-driven experience with a thoughtful narrative at its core. The storytelling element—drawing from childhood and traditional tales—is a charming touch, giving the menu a sense of identity and cohesion. The food itself is well executed and visually appealing, with flavors that are enjoyable and well balanced. While nothing particularly stands out in terms of technique or ingredients, the overall experience remains satisfying. For a tasting menu at this price point, it represents very good value. The ambience, however, leans overly dark. The wine program feels less defined, without a strong sense of identity, and there is no prominent presence of a dedicated sommelier—perhaps an intentional operational choice, reflecting a lesser emphasis on wine within the overall concept. Cocktail options are notably limited. Desserts, while visually creative, lean more toward gimmick than substance and fall short in flavor as a conclusion to the meal. An enjoyable and well-priced experience overall, with a compelling concept, though there remains room for greater refinement and definition in the details.

We had an amazing experience at Sóno. Obviously the food was incredible but each course was accompanied by a great story that was told by the waiting staff. We enjoyed great food, great wine and learnt about Vietnamese culture and history. They even gave us a parting gift at the end of the meal as part of a fun challenge. We felt welcome and really enjoyed it, would definitely recommend :)

We opted for the Valentine’s set menu, and it was absolutely exquisite. A wonderful surprise was being treated to two complimentary cocktails per person, which were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. The ambiance is cozy, elegant, and deeply romantic. I particularly appreciated the spacious table layout; despite being a busy evening, the generous spacing ensured complete privacy for our conversation. From the moment we arrived, the "A to Z" hospitality was seamless and professional. A special mention must go to Hằng. Her storytelling was both professional and witty, adding a unique layer of charm to our evening. She truly made our night much more special. If you are looking for a place that balances luxury with a personal touch, this is it. Highly recommend!
