Acoustic Bar - Ngô Thời Nhiệm — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Everything was fine, but the steak and manager’s way of handling us. We had couples dishes of asian food, they were nice, tasty. So we decided to have more and the steak came out Medium well, but we ordered Medium Rare. We sent it back to the kitchen and the manger came out, stating its it the restaurant way of Medium rare???. So either they were going to cook it more or we just had to accept it. At first, she mentioned the slice of beef was so thin so it was easy to get to thus state 😅. And I said then you should adjust the cook time, then she stated it was the restaurant’s way of Medium rare. She even educated us that it was not Premium Australian beef, just normal beef and with this kind of price, this was all they could do!!! I was so disappointed therefore I did not want to continue to have conversation with her. Unprofessional from the Manager. Even though the staff were super cute and nice, the music was ok. However, I will never come back to this place. Ps: all the stars go to the staff 🥲🥲🥲. We went there 4 girls and paid around 2,6 million VND

Another ps: She said they had check under white light to make sure it was Medium Rare, i offered to have a bite if she could chew it, of course she refused. So many plot twists from her,...

This place was a waste of time and money on a Friday evening. The Dying Fish or whatever it was called was the main band of the evening, and they were a huge letdown and moodkiller. Acoustic is known for their upbeat and fun atmosphere with bands playing covers and the audience dancing and singing along the music. This Fermented Fish band was the complete opposite of what I would call fun. The female lead vocal was weak and unintelligible. None of us could make out what the hell she was singing about or what song it was because it was their own song. Nothing against originals, but you gotta at least write good songs and capture the audience attention. When she broke out the acoustic guitar, we got excited until, again, none of us could hear what she was singing or playing. The guitarist was a bit better at the mic, but the song was about some melted volcano and nobody knew what the hell that was about. The only saving grace was the bass dude but we didn't stay long enough to hear him sing. The drummer was there because they needed one, I guess. Overall, our evening was kind of ruined and we left after 4 songs with a 800k tab for 4...

Have the best music experience in town. They play a mixture of vietnamese and other languages music but mostly singing english. It also base on the theme of the night. I also hope they create a area where people can dance since most of they music is very danceable. Lovely music, cant praise them enough.

The alcohol experience is on the other hand not so good. The mix drink is mediocre and quite bland. They only have one price for cocktails and one price for mix drink like gin tonic. Individual shot is the same price as mix drink which i found a bit odds. They usually cheaper if you just get straight shots. The brand of alcohol also seem to be very limited. They only have basic stuff and no variety.

Also the ice that they used is not pure resulted in a very quick melted ice. Hence, if you get the drink here, highly recommended to finish your drink as fast as possible before it melted. Hopefully they will change their ice supplier.

Overall: 8pt Drink: 4pt Price: 8pt Music: a big 10/10
