Choosing a location associated with the historical site of the Temple of Literature Quoc Tu Giam, Gia Restaurant was born with the desire to convey the core cultural values of Vietnam.
Right from the moment you set foot in the shop, you will be attracted by the architectural elements of Indochinese style with wood materials and dark blue - brown tones. The main dining room is a modern space with silver glass walls, on which An Nam people are painted in daily activities, creating a rustic feeling but still extremely luxurious
The menu at Home only has about 13 dishes but will be constantly changed according to the season, changing the menu every three months. Gia mainly uses very Vietnamese ingredients such as vegetables in the Northwest or giang leaves in Thai culinary culture, traditional dishes such as vermicelli, eel soup, chicken noodles,... Already familiar, now recreated in a completely new and interesting perspective.
Through each dish, Gia tells the story of traditional Vietnamese culture, about a cuisine that connects the past, present and future.

It was rather dark when we first walked into the shop house. And we were quickly escorted to the 2nd floor where the main dining room cum kitchen is located. We were shrouded by darkness still.
The food was served rather quickly and within 40 mins, we were almost completed. I must say that the dishes were relatively simple but were subtle and powerful. It invokes memories of traditional Vietnamese dishes yet there’s a twist. Some tastes were simple, but not simplistic, and executed well. The mushroom rice, in particular, was excellent, and I can see why it is the restaurant’s signature. Beef and quail were nicely done.
I thought the last courses of desserts were a bit redundant. We were brought to the kitchen to taste the coconut cookie and then, back to the first floor to pick 3 fruits from which sorbets would be made. Our unfinished pairings were supposed to follow suit but never did. But all was forgotten and forgiven when the lotus dessert was served. Gosh, again, the subtlety of taste with the different ingredients exploding in one’s palate was just exquisite.

This restaurant serves a sampling menu. The service here felt very rushed and the wines paired were not chilled enough. When we asked to slow down the courses it was still fast. Having said that, food was alright and the wine pairing worked. Some hit and some misses, but the plating was pretty. I believed the service staff tried their best. Restaurant ambience is beautiful. Hopefully they fine tune and smooth out the rough edges soon.
