Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An amazing restaurant, L’Usine Le Thanh Ton delivers.
From the moment you step in, youre captivated by the cool, modern ambiance that blend with traditional Vietnamese elements. Then there’s the service. I always say everything starts with the right people, that greatness begins with people that really care, that are really smart, and that passionately deliver the promise of the brand. This team, this group, is top-notch from start to finish. Led by manager (his name is Duc) his staff were friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. They guided me through their offerings, suggesting dishes that showcased the best of Vietnamese cuisine. And for the food—what an absolute treat. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, presentation as stunning as the taste, it was clear that each dish was crafted with care and expertise.
L’Usine offers a dining experience not to be missed. The combination of amazing food, a cool staff that delivers impeccable service, and a stylish setting makes this restaurant a true standout. I can’t wait to return to explore more of their delicious menu!
Thank you so much Duc and Team!!

We went here three times in three days for lunch. The food and service are very good. My daughter wanted something off the menu and they were very helpful and charged us a very small amount. I would highly recommend this place if you are staying in the hotels nearby as the food is better and the prices are more reasonable.

I had a Brunch for one at L’Usine, a favourite place of mine before the pandemic and I was very happy to see it still open on my return to Saigon after over a two year absence. I always like this place for a leisurely brunch in Bến Nghé with lovely, soothing Jazz and chillout music and well prepared food and great coffees and cakes.
Normally I would give a five star rating, the reason for the 4 stars is that i was just annoyed that on entry i was just asked to take an empty seat on the ground level which was nearly full without being given the option of sitting upstairs which I prefer and find more relaxing. It would simply have been nice to be asked.
Aside from this everything was great, I had their signature big breakfast - this was super tasty, the eggs, spinach and mushrooms especially were delicious, 2 x Vietnamese coffees were fantastic and the orange chocolate cake was perfect. All up just over 400.000 for one person.

I came here based on reviews many times for brunch and it was good. Bright and chic like a brasserie. Attracts a young hip crowd mainly. Cool music. Clean. Tables are nicely spaced mainly indoor but some outside too. Appears to be two levels. Staff are really pleasant and friendly. So nice and welcomed me back each time. My favourite brunch spot. Good menu from breakfast to brunch, juices, smoothies, burgers, Vietnamese dishes and more. I normally had the same thing which was the Salmon Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough Toast. The dish comes with a grilled tomato and what appeared to be a mayonnaise. I always had it without the sauce. The toast just once as I normally follow a high protein diet. The black americano is good. The pineapple juice I had once was nice too. Very refreshing. Well presented and freshly made each time. Portion size, some may find small but fine for me. The eggs were just right and tasty with the salmon and grilled tomato. Good place if you need to do some work on a laptop and eat or drink. There is a new branch that just opened in Saigon Centre shopping mall. I frequented both branches many times whilst in HCMC.

A trip to Saigon would not be complete without a visit to my favourite French brunch cafe on Lê Thánh Tôn, District 1. Western style brunches but made with the freshest sustainably sourced ingredients.
This morning I introduced a friend from Da Nang to the lovely breakfasts here. He had the salmon eggs benedict for the first time in his life and absolutely loved it. I stayed with an old favourite the L’Usinse big breakfast. I just love those delicious Montclair sausages!
Service was spot on, the atmosphere is totally relaxing and the tables nicely spaced out. Well worth at least one visit. Or like I do, just keep on coming back!
P.S. They do fabulous lunches and main meals as well. This visit was just for brunch.

Such a nice spot if you prefer healthier western options ( they also have Vietnamese ) lovely vibe, beautiful decorated. Shop inside selling nice things. Staff was very friendly. They have multiple locations in Saigon so if you’re hungry, find one and go.

I love Com Tam here. It’s a big portion (for me) with nice piece of grilled pork, egg, and mango salad. I got the fried banana with ice cream as desert. The food is incredible and also Excellent service. I ordered a white latte, however, it was served later than the food. The restaurant offered it for free which is absolutely unexpected and surprised.

Everything is perfect, location, food, price, design, light, decoration, souvenir, except the staffs attitude, not too active and professional. I think they're sleepy while working or something. They even didn't let me take pictures to review for them haha. Anyway, I still love this restaurant (I usually go to Dong Khoi place, smaller but better service), highly recommend Risto

I visited this cafe a few times during my stay in HCMC. Really nice cafe. I like the upstairs section for working. The food and drinks are nice and the staff/ambience is also good.
It gets very busy sometimes (specially around noon), but other than that, it is a good spot if you are lookinng for a cafe for eating or working.
I recommend the soup of the day (I got pumpkin last time)
