A by Tung – A Symphony of Flavours and Nordic Elegance
Dining at A by Tung is nothing short of a culinary journey—an umami overload that leaves a lasting impression. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by friendly staff and an atmosphere that blends modern Nordic minimalism with warm wooden elements, creating a space that’s both stylish and inviting.
The menu features a generous 17-course tasting experience that showcases the chef’s technical mastery and creative vision—from delicate raw seafood like hamachi and oysters, to elevated takes on traditional Vietnamese dishes and perfectly executed premium meats.
One of the most memorable highlights was the chef’s reimagined Pho, presented as a layered solid dish with the broth served separately. It was an elegant and flavourful twist on a national classic—complex, comforting, and incredibly refined.
Desserts are not an afterthought here. The sweet potato crème brûlée was a true standout—unexpected, multi-textured, and never boring, it brought a surprising and satisfying end to the meal.
While the food and setting are easily Michelin-star worthy, there is some room for improvement in service refinement. For example, the way breadcrumbs were cleared from the table could have been more elegant, and the pace of the meal felt rushed at times. Allowing guests a bit more time between courses would enhance the overall experience.
Nonetheless, A by Tung is a must-visit for anyone seeking a modern fine-dining experience in Vietnam that bridges local soul with global finesse.
