AKUNA · Restaurant · Saigon
One Michelin star on the ninth floor of Le Meridien, over the river.
AKUNA holds one Michelin star and occupies the ninth floor of Le Meridien Saigon on Ton Duc Thang, looking over the Saigon River. It is led by chef Sam Aisbett, an Australian chef who previously ran a Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore, and the cooking carries that lineage directly.
The menu blends Australian, Japanese and international technique with Vietnamese ingredients doing the specific work, drawing on both rare and everyday produce sourced from around the country. It is a tasting-menu room, not an a la carte one, and the pacing assumes you are staying for the evening.
The river outlook is a genuine part of the experience, not simply a backdrop, and the tables along the glass are the ones to ask for.
Service runs 18:00 to 22:00, Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. Reservations go through the restaurant's own booking page - use the booking button on this page. Because the seating window is short and the menu is long, an early sitting is the one that leaves room for the rest of an evening.
Address: Le Meridien Saigon, Level 9, 3C Ton Duc Thang, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City 70000, Vietnam, Saigon
