TRE Dining

Extraordinary dining experience with great vibes and thoughtful tasting menu. We went for a casual friend hang out at Tre after having recommendation from our friends who had great experience with their latest tasting menu from July 2025. It came with two simple amuse yet delicate and well-balanced. We love the charred corn course which reminded us the flavor we had from our childhood memories. The highlight of the whole tasting menu was actually the mallard which was treated with lots of care from the Chef who passionately came to present at our table throughout every course. The tasting menu was not that long(8 courses) we didn’t take the pairing as they didn’t have the wine pairing option yet so we ended up ordering wine by glasses. Overall the experience was great and good value for what we paid for. Will definitely comeback for the new tasting menu released on September according to be told by the team.

My boyfriend and I decided to try Tre Dining because of its Michelin recognition and its location in the heart of Thảo Điền. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the fine dining label in any way. Service was slow and all over the place. There were only four guests in the restaurant, including us, yet the staff still seemed unprepared. They brought out the chef to explain the tasting menu, but he didn’t speak English (which was fine). The problem was, no one stepped in to help translate. The staff just stood there, clearly expecting me to translate everything into English for my boyfriend, who doesn’t speak Vietnamese. At this level, that just felt incredibly unprofessional. On top of that, the chef had zero energy - no emotion, no passion. It felt like he was just trying to get it done. We ordered the “Motherland” tasting menu (1,950,000 VND per person), and honestly, it just wasn’t worth it. The food looked like it was trying to be fine dining. The flavors weren’t there. One of the first dishes came out with a fingerprint on the plate which is a big no, especially at this level. Some plates didn’t even look clean. Every dish felt flat, disconnected, and forgettable. No story, no texture contrast, no creativity. What made things worse was how long we had to wait between dishes. The pacing was painfully slow…not in the relaxed, intentional way you’d expect from a fine dining tasting menu, but in a way that made us feel forgotten and disengaged. Each course took so long to arrive that the whole experience started to drag, killing any excitement we had. We ended up paying over 5 million VND for a dinner that had no heart, no flavour, and no real effort behind it. It didn’t feel like fine dining at all, more like a restaurant trying to imitate the experience without understanding what makes it special. The setting is beautiful, but everything else seriously needs more work, care, and attention. Honestly, I’m still confused how this place got a Michelin mention. It was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Tre Dining has great Google reviews, so my friend (short trip to Vietnam) and I decided to give it a go, hoping to experience one of the best cuisines in town. The restaurant offers a beautiful view of Landmark 81 and a cozy, uncrowded atmosphere. We got the “Journey of Hope” set menu, good storytelling from childhood to the end for hope and believe. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. Most dishes lacked flavor and visual appeal, which was unexpected given the premium price point (over 6M VND for two). Presentation was repetitive, with little color or creativity—far from what you’d expect at this level. I didn’t take photo but you can see in other reviews’ photos. One of main course beef was bland, we returned it after one bite! I’m not picky with food, but this dish was genuinely poor. Honestly, a local street vendor could offer better flavor and quality. Surprisingly, no staff or manager came to ask why the dish was returned, which felt disappointed for a fine dining setting. On a positive note, all dishes were served on warm plates, the table setup was nicely done which showed attention to detail in service. I hope this feedback helps Tre Dining improve, especially in terms of flavor and plating. We came with both Vietnamese and Western perspectives, wanting to enjoy the experience more than we did.

Wonderful fine dining course meal experience with a great view of the landmark 81 building glowing at night. The presentation of the dishes and the quality of the food is superb. However, you need to prepare your wallet since you would spend about 6 million VND.

Returning to Vietnam for the first time and visiting this restaurant has truly been a memorable experience for me. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed by the staff and the chef, who genuinely seemed dedicated to providing the best service possible. It was heartwarming to see their passion for hospitality. I also had a wonderful experience with Ne and Kiet, who took some fantastic pictures for me. Their professionalism and creativity shone through, and I greatly appreciated their efforts. One of the highlights of my visit was receiving a special gift from the restaurant—a rose with smoke. It was such a thoughtful gesture that added a unique touch to my experience. If you have a chance, I highly recommend visiting this place to see for yourself!

Date night at TRE Dining : atmosphere is great - the place is cosy and sound quality is great (no noise from the main street and music is balanced). Service is attentive and listens to feedback. Regarding the dishes : 1. We got a welcome drink which was fresh and tasty - no alcohol. 2. The appetiser taste was great - however the tart base could be crispier. 3. The baby squid and pork was the best dish for both my partner and I. It was flavourful and the presentation was on point. 4. The chicken xiu mai was alright. The cut wasn't the best with a piece of cartilage found in - and the whole dish quickly becomes a mess after the first bite. 5. The tooth fish with celery cream sauce was well balanced. The roe was amazing and smokey. An extra crispy addition would have been great. 6. We changed the stuffed pork blood morel to a prawn. The cooking was great and the sauces dots were very tasty. However, there was too much sabayon underneath for both of us. 7. We also changed the rabbit kidney. They offered us a beef piece instead. My partner had a great one while mine was nervy and tough (tendons). Out of 3 pieces, 2 were barely edible. Flipside : the medium-rare cooking was well mastered. 8. We had 2 pieces for dessert. The first was a coconutty traditional dessert which was great and the second one was very refreshing and perfect to end the dinner. 9. Cocktail pairing was slightly disappointing: no special presentation as all were served in wine glasses with small pours and similar tastes. 10. White wine was perfectly served while the red was way too chilly- straight out of a fridge which took time to enhance the wine's flavour. Overall, a still above average experience where there is room for improvement but a great time nonetheless.

Had an unforgettable birthday dinner at TRE Dining and Hong treat us so nice! The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, the service was warm and attentive, and every dish was a beautiful blend of flavors. The team even added a special touch to make the occasion feel extra memorable. Highly recommend for a refined dining experience in HCMC—can’t wait to be back!

Stepping into fine dining with the Reborn set menu was memorable. Each dish was a masterpiece—beautifully plated and packed with new flavors. They went all out with presentation; some dishes even had a creative twist that made you stop and appreciate the details. The service? On point. The staff was super attentive, and our main server had that Michelin-star level of care. We went with the premium wine pairing—a Prosecco, a white, and two reds. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Would’ve loved if they talked more about each wine’s story; it would’ve added depth. The vibe was slick and modern, with a partially open kitchen that made things feel lively without losing that fine dining charm. And the little extras? Loved them. They handed us a cute straw grasshopper as a keepsake and poured us some tea on the house at the end. Nice touch that made it feel warm and personal. 🌿🍷✨
