The Restaurant
The Reverie Saigon is, by any honest measure, one of the most extravagant hotels in Southeast Asia. Its lobby is a Venetian glass and Italian marble fantasia that makes most five-star properties look like they forgot something. Long Trieu, on the fourth floor, takes this context and builds a dining room that earns its place within it: jade stonework, traditional gold-leaf painted Chinese scenes on the walls, ornate carved furniture, and a dining room that signals to anyone who enters that what follows will be taken seriously.
Chef Wong Fu Keung is a veteran Hong Kong Cantonese cook who brings decades of mastery to a cuisine that rewards mastery above all. Cantonese cooking at its finest is not about shock or novelty — it is about the depth achievable through technique applied with total control over time. The steamed live seafood here is prepared with the restraint of someone who knows precisely when enough seasoning becomes too much. The dim sum, served at lunch, rivals anything available in Hong Kong itself. The Peking duck is the kind that makes you order it twice.
Long Trieu earned its Michelin star in 2024, making it the only Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant in Vietnam and one of the few in Southeast Asia. The dining room accommodates groups at round tables with lazy susans — the format that makes Cantonese dining the natural choice for team dinners and celebratory gatherings. Private dining rooms are available for events requiring discretion.
Wine pairings are available but many guests prefer the traditional Chinese tea service, which is executed with the same rigour as the food. The full à la carte menu ranges from accessible to exceptional; the set menus, particularly the premium banquet options, represent the kitchen at its fullest expression. Reserve at least two weeks ahead for weekend dinners.
Best For: Team Dinner
The round table format of traditional Cantonese dining — dishes arriving at the centre to be shared, lazy susan turning, every course a collective decision — makes Long Trieu the natural choice for group dining in Ho Chi Minh City. There is a conviviality to sharing Cantonese food that other cuisines’ fine dining formats do not replicate: the conversation moves with the food, and the evening acquires momentum. For a team of four to twelve, this is the most impressive and most genuinely enjoyable group dinner in Saigon.
For client entertainment at the highest level, the combination of The Reverie’s entrance hall and Long Trieu’s dining room creates an evening that will be remembered. The hotel itself — on Nguyen Hue Boulevard, Saigon’s most prestigious street — serves as the first signal of seriousness before anyone has eaten a single course.
