ORYZ Saigon

We had an amazing dinner at ORYZ Saigon back in September, enjoying the Hanoï-themed discovery menu. It was honestly one of our favourite dining experiences in the city. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavours that brought a modern touch to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Each dish felt like a little surprise, and the whole menu was perfectly balanced from start to finish. A special shoutout to Chi, our server, who made the experience even better. She was warm, attentive and explained each dish with such passion. You could feel how much she cared about giving us a great evening. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable dinner in Saigon, ORYZ is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

From the moment I arrived at the entry it was perfect. Greeted before I could even enter the door! I made a very last minute reservation yet they still managed to have my name printed for the table. The service was excellent. Cleaned the table between every dish, excellent presentation, and storytelling and good pace of service. The staff mostly spoke very good English, better than other similar venues which made it easy to follow the “journey” they brought you on. The food went beyond my expectations, I didn’t even know Vietnamese cuisine could be this elevated. The turmeric fish, bun cha and desert was outrageously good. My two favorite dishes from Hanoi and now served in a way I couldn’t even have imagined. Upon leaving I was told that they are opening a new venue, and turning oryz into a more casual one. The concept sounds incredible and I hope to be back to check it out

Very nice ambience and incredible delicious food inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. We had an amazing experience here and loved the concept of the restaurant, which takes you through a journey of the Nothern Vietnamese cuisine (with a a little twist to it). The reinterpretation of the Vietnamese dishes were very creative and delicious without losing the Vietnamese character. We went to Oryz to celebrate a friend‘s bridal shower and at the end of the journey we received a little surprise, which was very attentive of the staff. The service was also impressive. Special thanks to Dat, who was with us for the 14 courses and kept us entertained with his humor. At times, however, the service was a little bit too fast and rushed (we were still eating when the staff wanted to clear our dishes and introduce the next course). Overall, we had an amazing experience and would definitively recommend to anyone who wants to experience Vietnamese cuisine in a fine dining setting. The portions were surprisingly big, we almost weren’t able to finish. Note: Be mindful that the prices are excl. VAT and service fees.

Tried Oryz and really liked the cultural concept — Vietnamese flavors with a light Chinese touch 🍜✨ Food was 7/10 ⭐️ Overall good, but there are quite a few noodle and soup dishes, so I felt full pretty quickly. Those dishes were fine, just not super memorable. Service was great 👍 Friendly and attentive staff. Space is okay, nothing too special for photos 📸 Big plus for the presentation dishes are beautifully plated and come with thoughtful stories, which made the experience more enjoyable 🎨🍽️

A great cultural journey! A great journey in this gorgeous two storey restaurant. We had the very knowledgeable sommelier Anton and the very attentive attendant Nhat. It was a great gastro experience for my wife and I. The food was all well presented. Oryz prepared a fantastic cultural experience for the customers. A passport for you as you check in all the fourteen dishes to your stomach. This is extremely helpful as it helps us understand what we are eating. It also helps us appreciate the fine history of Vietnam. Ntat was helpful in explaining all the dishes and how to enjoy them. Anton was like a history teacher and explained the origins of some food. Oryz not only served us great food but let us learn more about the country too. Thank you for the experience! To add on, it was great pleasure to know the chef + owner is from the same country too! Would recommend anyone who wants to have a gastro + cultural experience of Vietnam to come Oryz!

My partner and I had an amazing experience tonight. While Vietnam isn’t usually considered a fine-dining destination, Oryz definitely breaks that stereotype. The service, the food, and the relaxed atmosphere were all absolutely perfect. My only regret is that it’s an eight-hour flight from home 😭. Whenever we’re in Saigon we’ll be back. We might even have to make a special trip just to try the new concept store, which sounds incredibly exciting. A special shoutout to our two servers. I didn’t catch their names (one was a Kiwi) but their service was impeccable. Their explanations and friendliness really elevated the whole experience. We don’t speak Vietnamese and didn’t feel any language barrier at all, so foreigners should feel very welcome too. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh or honestly anywhere in Vietnam I highly recommend making the trip!

This marks my second visit to Oryz for my birthday dinner, and I was particularly eager to experience their new menu. I extend my sincere gratitude to Dat for his thorough explanations of each dish; his friendly demeanor and constant smiles significantly enhanced our dining experience. Additionally, I would like to thank Nhi for the delightful surprise and for capturing memorable photos with me. My husband and I deeply appreciate Oryz. The entire staff consistently makes us feel welcome and at home with their warm smiles and hospitality. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to Oryz and look forward to exploring future menu offerings. Thank you to everyone at Oryz ♥️♥️

Food, service, and experience were all fantastic. The menu was extremely well thought out and consisted of a wide variety of dishes. They also had a passport to explain of the dishes which was very well designed. Food was great. Their kombucha pairing was also superb. Would definitely want to visit again in the future.
