Upstairs
An Khanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; 1st floor, 36 Nguyen Ba Huan Street, 700000

Upstairs is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant on the first floor of 36 Nguyen Ba Huan Street in An Khanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Its official contact page and current MICHELIN listing align on the address, which confirms both branch identity and city location. MICHELIN also describes the restaurant as an intimate room above a wine bar, with just four tables, and notes Chef Hiep Truong’s modern tasting menu rooted in central Vietnamese traditions. That combination gives the listing unusually clear primary-source support for what diners will actually find on site. This entry ranks just below the strongest headline names because, while highly current and distinctive, it remains a more intimate, reservation-led choice rather than a broadly useful all-rounder. Even so, it is a compelling inclusion for readers seeking a focused meal with a strong culinary point of view away from the older District 1 luxury-hotel circuit. MICHELIN’s page confirms present opening days and states that bookings are handled directly by the restaurant, which is useful practical access information for visitors. The appeal here is not scale or spectacle but a small-format dining room with a precise address, contemporary Vietnamese ambition and a clearly documented identity in the city’s eastern urban districts.
