Tucked away in a reimagined schoolhouse in An Khanh, Ho Chi Minh City, NÚC Kitchen & Bar is a quiet manifesto for those who see cooking not merely as craft, but as a way of life. Here, gastronomy becomes an act of remembering, of feeling, of being fully present. Every dish is steeped in seasonality and shaped by a reverence for time, slow, thoughtful, and intentional. 

Amid Saigon’s restless energy, three new destinations invite pause. NÚC Kitchen & Bar, ÚNU Cocktails & Eatery, and Ômm Mixology Saigon transcend dining and drinking, transforming hospitality into philosophies of craft, memory, and reverence. Together they mark a shift toward intimacy, storytelling, and mindfulness in Vietnam’s evolving culinary scene
