If you’re in Saigon and want to go all out on seafood, this spot should be at the top of your list. The vibe hits that sweet spot between casual and classy—plenty of energy in the room, but still comfortable enough to settle in and take your time. The spread is huge, fresh, and constantly replenished, so you never get that “picked over” feeling you sometimes find at buffets.
But here’s the real deal: the service is next level. Even when the place was packed and the staff clearly had their hands full, they still moved with purpose and handled every request like it was no trouble at all. You never had to wave someone down—they were already there with what you needed before you asked. It’s the kind of smooth, effortless hospitality that makes you feel like you’re in good hands the entire night.
Plates disappeared as soon as you were done, drinks stayed full, and they somehow kept the energy light and friendly while keeping the whole operation running like clockwork. That combination of attentiveness and genuine warmth is rare anywhere, but especially in a buffet where things can get hectic.
Dessert wrapped the night up perfectly, and the whole experience felt like you got more than your money’s worth. Between the endless fresh seafood, the lively atmosphere, and a team that really knows how to take care of people, this is one of those places you’ll be telling your friends about before you even get home.
If you want great food, a buzzing setting, and service that makes the night feel easy, this is the buffet to beat in Saigon. You’ll walk out full, happy, and already thinking about...
Read moreAn Exceptional Dining Experience for a VIP Client Lunch I am a frequent patron of Dim Tu Tac Estella. I recently had the pleasure of hosting an important lunch meeting with my Japanese clients at the said establishment, and I was very pleased with the dining experience. From the initial planning stages, the management, Mark, was incredibly professional and attentive. He understood the importance of the occasion and ensured every detail was meticulously arranged. We were seated in their VIP room, which offered a good blend of elegant privacy and a warm, inviting atmosphere—ideal for focused business discussions. Once we were seated, our server, Clara, was efficient and attentive and made us feel well taken care of without any interruption to our flow of conversation. The food, as always, was delicious. The dim sum was fresh anf flavorful, which was a great talking point to break the ice. My Japanese clients were thoroughly impressed. A special note must be made about the cultural sensitivity and hospitality displayed by both Mark and Clara. They made my clients feel respected and valued, which contributed significantly to the success of our meeting. Dim Tu Tac Estella is more than just a restaurant with fantastic food; it's an establishment that understands premium hospitality. Mark, Clara, and other server such as Nicky and Michelle are a credit to the team. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any business lunch or dinner, especially one where impression and seamless service are paramount. Thank you for helping me make such a...
Read moreNeeded hygiene basic education and thorough cockroach removal
I saw Kitchen Staff in salad corner sneezing without wearing mask often and even after they kept chatting with other staff loudly in front of fresh ingredients. Some stuff never wear masks properly covering nose and masks in this restaurant and just hang on their chin which keeps giving no sense on wearing it. Not the once, every time i come here I see it. That made me really really disgusted as it imaginably made me think the food they touch has lots of mucus and salivas of them all the time.
The other day, i saw the same scenes like above plus 2cm cockroaches scrolling on sushi and sashimi at fresh sushi corner. Not one but a couple in, let’s say less than 5 minutes.
The Ideas and concept of buffet in the restaurant is amazing and I still like some foods here so I used to come here often till I saw those terribly traumatic scenes too often.
Today After 3 months interval, hoping to see some improvement, I came here again then saw staff sneezing loudly towards fresh food without wearing masks and even kept talking with other staff in the area who never told him not to do, in this Covid era...
