I had chance to stop by and had the buffet at Viet Kitchen recently. They said that their signature is the seafood, plus the price is quite affordable for me so I decided to enjoy it. The lobsters were extremely tasty, especially the sauce that the chef used on them. That day was very crowded but the staff still tried to spare time asking how my experience was. For all, I think I will comeback to have this buffet.

My family and I went to the Sunday brunch at the Renaissance hotel. It was a great value for money, the quality of the food was excellent. The ingredients were very fresh and there was a very big variety in the food. The service was equally excellent, Mr Nhut took care of our table and anticipated all of our needs and was very welcoming. All in all we had a great experience and would recommend this restaurant to any HCMC locals or tourists in the region.

I have visited the restaurant with my boyfriend last week, and it was the second time we’ve been here. Both of the time I was very pleased. We had come to enjoy their seafood buffet. I must say that it’s quite inconvenient for the buffet only open on weekends, but we quite understand the situation. Regardless, the food is great, fresh and out of the stove, especially their seafood, lobsters always my fav. The staffs were also helpful whenever we need anything. I also remembered the tan girl with long hair, she kept checking on us and asked if we need anything else. She was very cheerful and energetic. My boyfriend he’s also happy eating here. I think this is a great place for spending time with your love ones.

Food is really terrific. We ordered from the a la carte menu and everything was cooked skillfully and was delicious. Unfortunately, the focus was more on the buffet and the birthday party they were setting up for. There were so many staff but they were extremely inattentive. After waiting a long time to place a drink order, it took a full 30 minutes additional to receive a cocktail from the bar. If you go here, make sure you aren’t in a hurry or eat from the buffet.

We are experienced travellers, and after several days in Ho Chi Minh we wanted to go to a.better restaurant. Viet Kitchen is a very good restaurant. The food is a good fusion mix of Asian and western. The location on the river is great, the staff are extremely friendly and attentive, the food is very good and the cost is reasonable.
We dined a la crate but we checked out the buffet which looked great.
However it could be so much better. We asked for a 5 minute break between our cocktails and our first course and our second course. But the first course came out before we had finished our cocktails. The second course came out before we had finished our first course and had to be taken back to be kept warm not helping the quality of the food. But my wife enjoyed her prawn ceaser salad and her wagyu beef pho. My fish was perfectly cooked but the batter was soft because it had been kept warm because we weren’t ready. In addition,there was a live band which was very good but extremely loud. So loud conversation was impossible.
This review sounds critical but Viet Kitchen is a very good restaurant. Get the timing of courses right and lower the volume of the live music and it would have been a great experience.

The waitress, Trinh is very friendly, helpful and hospitable. She speaks good English and communicates well with us. We are very happy with her excellent services. She was serving us Vietnamese coffee, giving us city maps and showing us the places of interest. We enjoyed very much our breakfast and the interesting conversation with her.

I specifically went to this restaurant as had lots of things with the GF symbol on the menu. We excitedly ordered and showed the GF vietnamese restaurant card then the waitress informed us that actually we couldn't eat anything we ordered. In fact, nothing marked gf was actually safe to eat. As I was travelling with a GF child this was disappointing. We finally agreed to give my daughter steak (medium) and potatoes (fries not gf) and I ordered the salmon which they said the normal meal was fine to eat. The steak was rare and the potatoes undercooked. My salmon was ok but the 2 potatoes it came with were not cooked either. We left hungry and a lot poorer.

We are not staying in the hotel but visited the restaurant (29Nov) based on its rating. We were not disappointed. The lovely lady manager and her team were attentive. Bun Ha Noi with its tasty beef balls and grilled pork belly were delicious and the beef stew was done perfectly, which we lapped it up with the morsels of bread. A great detour to try Vietnamese food done well and done slightly differently from the hundreds out there in Saigon / HCMC.

We visit Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon pretty regularly. The service team comprising Thuy, Ngoc, Thi TRINH, Jenny Thong consistently provide excellent service. Their attention to small details like bringing my black coffee without sugar n milk n newspaper without being asked is heartwarming. Fully recommend you to hv yr morning breakfast buffet at this kitchen located on ground floor of the hotel. Will make yr day for sure.

This was my first time staying here in Saigon, as I usually opt to study at the Sheraton (another great option). In all, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the staff here. Each morning for breakfast, I would be greeted by the kindest, most thoughtful staff that made each start of my morning so much better. They are so attentive and always make sure that I am enjoying my meal with all that I need. Ngoc Thuy Thì and the rest of her team for such a wonderful experience each day, but I would like to take a moment to thank Tinh, especially, who went above and beyond to make my breakfast experience all the better. I would also like to take a moment to talk about the breakfast. The food is so delicious and there’s so many variety of options to take in. I loved the diverse breakfast experience, and I am so glad that I took a chance and changed hotels!

Nice stay at Renaissance. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast at Viet Kitchen was excellent; good varieties to choose from - Vietnamese cuisine with the usual egg bacon sausage also very good. Restaurant staff is also very helpful - those that we can only find at five star restaurants.

Overpriced, underwhelmed.
My husband and I visited the restaurant expecting the buffet style servery. Unfortunately, this is only Fridays.
We both ordered the steak approx $50, cooked as requested, but the meal was so small. 1 x potato, cut into 3, 6 string beans and 2 x miniature carrots and a steak smaller than your palm. The place was empty, and now we know why. The staff was very attentive, so attentive, I was eating my meal as the continued to talk, and I had to request she leave. Unfortunately, surroundings but food let it down.

Had a chance to stop by to visit a friend staying here. We had decided to try the All you can eat buffet dinner at the main restaurant of the hotel. The menu is quite limited, but due to the covid 19 I can quite understand it. Thanksfully that the food is scrumptious, hot-serving and nice decorated. That’s all I can ask for the very good price.
