While on our family holiday we had dinner here as had read all the reviews. It was expensive but the food was excellent. Service was excellent as well. The only fault was that the menu other than the "tasting" options was limited.

Recently had my third dinner at Xu. Excellent each time. The food, the atmosphere; just an oasis in a busy city. No doubt some dishes are better than others but when you mix in the service and the setting this is just a lovely place to be. Already looking forward to my next visit.

This restaurant was the culinary highlight of my Vietnam trip. Although expensive by Vietnamese standards, the food was simply amazing and to experience the equivalent back home would be a) hard to find, and b) out of my price league. We had the 8 course set menu and every dish was just amazing both in presentation and flavours. As an... More

I was a little worried as I heard there was a dress code, but I believe this applies to the evening. We went in shorts and tee shirts and were made very welcome. Other patrons were dressed casually, though some were very smart businessmen too. Back to the venue! It does have a nightclub feel, as it turns into a... More

Pricey for Vietnam, but some of the best food we experienced in a modern and stylish setting. The spring rolls and beef on skewers were excellent. Does not matter what you order chances are that you will be delighted.

All the excellent reviews are so right! Delicous food and very attentive service. We had the seven course tasting menu and we loved every dish of it. Wine was included in this menu and was poured generously. We'll come back for sure!
