Sol Kitchen & Bar

Sol Kitchen & Bar delivers an exceptional dining experience that effortlessly combines great food, atmosphere, and outstanding service. From the moment you step inside, the space feels warm and stylish, making it suitable for both casual dinners and special occasions. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a balanced mix of well-executed classics and creative dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and strong attention to detail. Each dish we tried was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. What truly elevated the entire experience, however, was the service — especially the incredible support from Koi. Koi was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests felt comfortable and well taken care of. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences, making the evening feel personal rather than routine. It’s rare to encounter service that feels both professional and heartfelt, and Koi exemplifies exactly that. The bar menu also deserves praise, with well-crafted cocktails that pair perfectly with the food and add to the relaxed yet refined vibe of the restaurant. Overall, Sol Kitchen & Bar stands out not only for its quality cuisine but also for its exceptional hospitality. Thanks to Koi and the team, this was a memorable experience — one that we will gladly return for and highly recommend to others.

Our first time to try this restaurant for our first travel to Ho Chi Minh city and have no regrets to dine in here. They were listed at Michelin guide. The food we ordered are excellent and very much to our likings. We are looking for a change in our pallet for the past few days trying Vietnamese cuisine and Sol's offering for Latin American is a welcome change. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. The ambiance at the restaurant I would describe as energetic. We were seated at the bar which also is an open kitchen. Since it's our first time, it was very good to see all the dishes going out and how it looks like that encourages us to go back for more and try other offerings. If you do not mind the Sous Chef talking to the waiter staffs following thru every bit of their customers order; then bar side may not be for you but for us it was a feast for the eyes seeing dishes after dishes going out after the finishing touches....it made us go back for more to try other dishes we saw 😊 There are good selection of wines and price point is same in Philippines. Also selection of cocktails to choose from....we opted for wine, ended up ordering 2 bottles to celebrate the day 🤣 The service is very good as all staffs are very attentive. Shout out to our server named BER very much attentive to our ordered food getting to our table and keeping our wine glass from being empty. Furthermore in helping us out to get the bar seating for a dinner on 31 December as they are booked for the holidays. I will recommend to do a reservation as the restaurant seems to be booked at most time and you just take your chances of you do the walk-in as what we have done (for a Sunday dinner 😅) Sol deserved to be listed at the Michelin Guide 🎗️🏆and I hope they maintain it. I highly recommend this restaurant and for us, we will not hesitate to return and try their foods.👍

My partner and I had dinner at Sol tonight and wow did it impress us! We stared with the tuna ceviche and 10/10 one of the best dishes we have ever had. They even sent the chef out to explain the dish to us. Perfectly balanced and loved the different textures. We also had the steak and chicken and both were cooked perfectly. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. It was also my Birthday and they brought me out a cake (cheese cake, which was delish). Service was brilliant. Special thanks to our servers Nathan and Koi they made the night so special.

We loved this place! The food & cocktails were both delicious. We ordered the crab toastadas, sea bass ceviche & the corn ribs for starters, all were outstanding. We then followed up with the beef ribs & sea food orzo for main. My only recommendation would be to order a wide selection of starters as a tapas style meal as we were quite full by the time the mains came. The staff were great as well, i was celebrating my bday & they brought a cake with candles & sang happy birthday ☺️ All in all I can see why it’s hard to get a table here, great experience 🫶

Highly recommend reservations before going. Cozy lux aesthetics and ambiance. Is definitely a busy place. Amazing food, great presentation and potion sizes, perfect temperature food. Extremely tasty food. Their drinks were good too. Service is top notch where the servers are attentive and kind. Only downside is music is too loud for us to speak but I wouldn’t give them a negative rating for that. Highly recommend trying this place.

If you are anywhere near Pham Ngu Lao and you don’t eat at Sol Restaurant, you have genuinely messed up your Saigon trip. This place was so, so, so good it deserves a standing ovation and possibly a small parade. Let’s start with the absolute star of the evening: Huy. Friendly, efficient, constantly smiling, effortlessly cool, and somehow managing to make you feel like you’re his favourite table without neglecting anyone else. He even joined in our favourite-movie chat, his pick was The Green Mile. Solid. Emotional. Excellent human choice. Mine too. That alone earned him legend status, but then he backed it up with flawless service all night. The man doesn’t just wait tables, he hosts experiences. And apparently is the guy who responds to google reviews… so on a personal note - love your work Brutha from another Mutha! Now the food. Oh my word, the food. The ceviche selection; fish, mussels, oysters, scallops, served in a frozen bowl (with the excitement of the dry ice experience) and looking like edible art. Fresh, balanced, punchy, and so good we immediately reordered because self-control is overrated when something tastes this good. The Japanese mussels? Absolute triumph. The chicken taquitos? Also got the reorder treatment because we are weak and proud of it. Wine? The Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc was missing. No drama; the Pinot Grigio Huy suggested didn’t just fill the gap, it obliterated the comparison. Blew the Sauvignon Blanc clean out of the water. Loved it so much we are currently halfway through bottle number two, which tells you everything you need to know. I’ll admit it, the slightly cheesy welcome and the overly enthusiastic hostess (although bloody good too) at the start briefly scared me. I thought we might be heading into gimmick territory (think TGIs “getting freaky with the fries” kitsch) How wrong I was. This is not freaky-fries-and-Instagram nonsense. This is serious food, cooked superbly, served with panache and flair, and delivered with just the right amount of self-deprecating humour (entirely unnecessary, the place is excellent). Huy, I know you’re reading this, thank you. You didn’t just make our night, you made our stay in Saigon, and honestly, our whole Vietnam adventure feel that bit more special. It’s the small things done exceptionally well that make the difference, and Sol absolutely nails every single one of them. We will be back. Hungry. Thirsty. And hoping Huy’s working.

Best meal in Saigon so far! Food was impeccable, our server Nathan and all the bartenders really took care of us. Reasonably priced too! Highly recommend ❤️

Sol Kitchen & Bar absolutely blew us away. I would genuinely fly back to Ho Chi Minh just to eat here again. The food was beyond amazing…the ceviche was the best we have ever had, hands down. Every dish was full of flavour, fresh and beautifully presented. We’re Latin as well, so getting to meet the executive chef made the experience even more special. He was incredibly lovely and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind the food. The ambiance is perfect: mood lighting, gorgeous décor and a fancy but relaxed vibe that just makes the whole night feel special. Drinks were a solid 10/10, and the pricing is super reasonable for the quality. The service is exceptional too, friendly, attentive and made us feel so looked after. Honestly no faults at all. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh, this place is an absolute must!!
