The Deck Saigon

Dining here feels like enjoying a private meal on a luxury sailing house in Hawaii. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxing, with ocean-inspired decor and soft lighting that creates a calm, upscale mood. The food is refined and beautifully presented, using fresh ingredients that taste light and sophisticated. Each bite feels carefully crafted, perfectly matching the luxurious seaside vibe. It’s not just a meal, but a full experience of comfort, elegance, and island-inspired indulgence.

We came for the new years event at 8:30 for the second seating. Food was amazing but service was so rushed. Literally as soon as we finished one course the next one was brought out. We. Asked if we could have time between the second and were told no because the kitchen was in sequence as order put it. Very disappointed giving the amount we paid plus ordering bottle of wine and cocktails. Then before we had even finished our drinks they asked us to leave the table and go into the main bar area. The meal itself was delicious and food nicely presented. The cod was cooked perfectly. There was a mix up with the dessert and was brought the wrong dessert which was corrected. Food was definitely 5/5. Our table was in the restaurant with a decent view however the screaming child who was running around with his nanny killed a bit of the atmosphere. The dj was great as were the sparklers and fireworks for new new years. Good night but worth the price tag, not so sure.

The space is airy and especially impressive at sunset, with a well-arranged dining setup. However, the dishes focus more on offering unique or experimental flavors. The desserts were delicious. A staff member came to ask about the food, but only addressed one of us (we were a party of two). There was also a small typo on the plate decoration. Overall, it’s still worth a visit if you appreciate a beautiful view.

The Deck Saigon is a beautiful outdoor riverside restaurant offering a classy and relaxed atmosphere. We were very satisfied with the menu, the high quality of the ingredients, and the excellent taste of all dishes. The elegant setting by the river, combined with attentive service, made the dining unique.

Met up with my local Vietnam friend for breakfast catch up and she recommended The Deck Saigon as its only 5 mins from my hotel. We walked in 8am and it’s only us and the atmosphere is just pleasantly welcoming and quiet - good for chat and enjoy the morning sun a little. The staff who served us - Truc was very friendly and prompt with her service.

Went here again for New Year’s Eve. Easily the best black cod I’ve ever had. It always makes me wonder why I go anywhere else in the area when the food, atmosphere, and service at The Deck Saigon are consistently excellent.

Tucked away from the busy streets of Saigon is this hidden gem. This is the ideal place to unwind with stunning views, relaxing music and attentive staff. The food is classy and rustic and should be enjoyed slowly with your favourite drink while watching boats sail by. The atmosphere transports you to a place of zen and before you know it, hours have passed by and you've just solved world hunger with your family and friends.

Perfect setting for a sunset dinner - top bad the sun was behind clouds mostly. Very peaceful and chilled - definitely a well needed break from the busy streets of District 1. Can't fault the service at all. Food was beautifully presented and quality flavours. There was an area for an event but you wouldn't even have noticed it. Asked for a riverside table!
