This is absolutely a delight and it made my day by their very well trained and well mannered staff. We ordered quite a few contemporary Vietnam dishes with non traditional but authentic flavors. I like the soft-shell crab and the taco like appetizer. The pork neck meat and the lemon grass chicken are really special. Price is also very reasonable with a Michelin label.   I certainly will bring my wife back here next time in town. P.S. a meal won’t be complete without a good dessert and coffee. For that, egg coffee is a must!

How Tuc is located in District One, and the restaurant itself is quite nice with a pleasant atmosphere. It’s clean, well-presented, and offers a comfortable dining experience. However, to be completely honest, the food was just average compared to some of the authentic Vietnamese cuisine I’ve had at smaller local shops.

If you’ve been around and tried other Vietnamese dishes in the area, you might find the flavors a little bland. That said, the food is clean and fresh, which is a positive. But if you’re specifically after truly authentic Vietnamese cuisine, there are other places that deliver a more genuine and flavorful experience.

The most flavoursome dish was probably the chicken and ginger dish with the brown sticky rice. That being said I probably should’ve also ordered a few more hot dishes to try.

The service is excellent and the staff are very attentive. Overall. I had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant.

Will return.

It’s a scene in the city.

Great location and food. Service is slow and spotty.

We made reservation for four but an elderly couple - our mates on tour, ran into us at the massage parlor next door decided to join us, that we couldn’t say no. The restaurant accommodated us, by adding two chairs. Thanks.

The stem, Ocean looks good but the rim bits back.

A long time favourite of mine for excellent modern Vietnamese cuisine.  Glad to see it’s kept its standards even after being listed in the obnoxious tyre guide.

Despite now seeming to be more of a touristic destination (due to the above mentioned listing) rather than one for gourmands, if you can tolerate the hordes of tourists, the food still absolutely delights.   Bravo to the culinary team here for keeping their standards up and the flavour profiles  consistent to their origins.

Had the ginger chicken, coconut & radish seafood salad as well as the Saigon styled fried seafood & pork spring rolls.  All delicious.

Thoroughly satisfied.

The menu is very creative. We tried the pork belly with coconut juice, the noodle with clams and the yam soup with minced pork. They all are tasty. The ambiance is cosy and quiet, hidden in a little court away from the busy street traffic. Staff is friendly and attentive.
