CLAY - Cocktails & Cuisine

- This is truly a place I would love to recommend for everyone to experience. From the quality of the food to the service, everything was excellent. The main dishes we ordered included grilled pork belly and grilled octopus, both of which were delicious. The pork belly was incredibly tender, rich, and flavorful with a perfect balance of savory and sweet sauce. The grilled octopus was cooked perfect and not chewy at all. The breast duck was marinated well and super juicy (medium order) What really sout out to me was that the dishes are served on hot plates. Even when you ask to reheat the food, the chefs re-decorate and present it as if it were a brand new dish. That is something I truly appreciate and was satisfied with. The staff were also very enthusiastic and took great care of the guests. Last but not least, this is definitely a place worth visiting for the experience. They have a coravin seclection for the wine lover :)

Food was below average, nothing special for the price range they offer. Service was good, staffs are sweet, but not too attentive. We had to move because the table next to us were smoking cigars, I guess it’s a norm for people to smoke in public in Vietnam. The atmosphere and view was excellent, but I can’t get over the fact that they allowed public smoking for such a “classy” restaurant. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Another major issues is there is NO Vietnamese menu, which is absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful to Vietnamese locals. I feel like most of their high ratings were because of the nice view and atmosphere.

I honestly loved the vibe here. The riverside setting feels airy and chill, and it was really comfortable in January, not too hot at all. The food was decent, not wow, but the service truly made the experience for me. The staff were warm, attentive, and actually cared about our experience, which I don’t always see even in more expensive or famous places. It felt genuine, not forced. 😄 I’d say it’s perfect for dates or small friend groups. Just a small note, there are mosquitoes, so bring spray. I really like Clay for its unique atmosphere and I’ll definitely come back.👍🏻

We came back to Clay for the second time, and it was just as impressive as we remembered. The food was delicious across the board, beautifully balanced flavours and great presentation. The service was the real highlight — especially Quang, who recognised us after four months and even remembered exactly what we ordered last time. That level of care genuinely surprised us and made the experience feel personal. The whole team was attentive without being intrusive, and the space itself is open, airy and relaxing. Clay continues to be one of those places I look forward to returning to. Highly recommended.

We had such a lovely evening here. The setting is beautiful and overlooks the river, creating the perfect atmosphere. Every dish was amazing, but the steak and grilled scallops were the real highlights. The staff made us feel so welcome. If you're in Saigon, this is a must-visit!!!

The best for the dawn watching. I dont like they use fan because it is too strong to any corner that you sot close to it. Music style need to be more zen so people can talk and just relax.

It’s been 7 years since our last visit. We wanted to experience Clay ( sister restaurant to The Deck, which we enjoyed last time) . Clay offers a fabulous vibe, inviting ambience and thoughtful decor. Excellent service, genuine and friendly. The food simply delicious, tasty and very well crafted by the talented French/Singaporean Chef. Highly recommend.

Best restaurant ever in Vietnam. Nice food, reasonable price, fantastic river view. Also all staffs are very friendly. I have been here several times also with my clients and everybody is so happy being here.
