SEP Hong Kong

One of the more impressive fine dining experiences I've had in recent years - flavour, flair / creativity, presentation, ambiance and service all score top marks for me. At SEP, the Petit Vietnam tasting menu takes you on a fun gastronomical journey through all of the Vietnamese classics, from Banh Mi to Pho Bo and everything in between - a true delight for your senses and an instant call back to the times and memories experiencing these dishes in Vietnam. It was also interesting to know the Chef himself (Chef Dobee) did the drawings himself on the menu. There are comments saying the menu is overpriced, which I suspect is due to the fact you are paying high prices for what would be considered traditional street food. However, you have to bear in mind you are being served the most elevated versions of these dishes, using fine dine cooking techniques, quality ingredients and impeccable presentation. It's also amazing to realize in this menu, you are sampling everything from sea to land (squid, shrimp, fish, pork, chicken, beef), so you are actually getting immense value in a way. All dishes were enjoyable from beginning to the end, portion control was just right. The standouts for me were the 3 yellow chicken, skin was crispy as a wafer while the meat was tender without being oily, packed full with the chicken flavour. The Banh Kem ice cream at the end was also very indulgent and moreish! If I had to nitpick, I think some of the extra condiments provided seemed redundant as the food was already quite flavorful. The wine / drinks list was ok but could be better. Well done to Chef Dobee and team for this delightful experience, I enjoyed it very much. You can see and feel the thought put in, and encore worthy.

A rare Vietnamese fine dining in HK. Had the light menu but adding a drink will set you $1700+ per person. Good food sampling, what you expect of Vietnamese food but more polished. Only a real surprise in 1-2 dishes (the chicken and dessert).

Really interesting restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, tentative service, and is very detailed oriented in general. Their set menu has a very unique combination of Vietnamese dishes using premium ingredients. The shrimp was the best dish. The dessert (Pandan icecream wrapped with roasted marshmellows & blood orange jello) was really interesting, flavourful, and refreshing. Although all the dishes were really delicious, for what it is, it is slightly overpriced, but worth a try.

5/5 Haven’t have a full star meal for so long! Everything is perfect! Just maybe if customer don’t eat beef and the pho change to something else beside chicken, because the last course is the best chicken ! Also their wine pairing here, portion is a little way too little.

Had the 1200 tasting dinner menu tonight - food was exceptional, we would definitely be going back. Dishes were unique with the beef noodle soup, Fried chicken, bahn mi etc- the best of the signature Vietnamese dishes all in one tasting menu! It was just the right amount and delicious!

Super good food. Well worth the price. We'll definitely go again

Most memorable new resto that I’ve tried this summer. Great to have a Vietnamese fine dining now in the HK food scene. Every dish was cute and delish. The crispy skinned yellow chicken, red prawn, beef pho, little sandwiches and little pine apple beers were my favorite ! 1200 hkd per person only for the set (without service charge) ! Buy one bottle, get one free corkage. Had its New Zealand sauv blanc, and brought our own Rhone valley Syrah. 10% discount with HSBC Visa signature card. I would stress the good value of this new resto , too !! Will definitely revisit this one. ❤️

It's a bit tricky to locate the building entrance. Once you get there, you would be amazed by the quiet ambient setting of the restaurant. It served delicious Vietnamese food. Service was attentive. The lunch tasting menu got a huge portion size. The beef soup noodle was highly recommended.
