Saigon Grill Ba Son in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Saigon Grill is a rooftop Vietnamese grill restaurant that has moved on from its long-established Pasteur Street location to a newer Ba Son setting on Ton Duc Thang in central Ho Chi Minh City. The old 91 Pasteur restaurant stopped operating there on February 15, 2026 so that it could relocate, according to Saigon Grill’s own website. The operator now prominently lists Saigon Grill Ba Son on the rooftop of the Saigon Riverside Office Center at 2A–4A Ton Duc Thang, alongside its separate Thi Sach branch. For visitors, the useful takeaway is simple: do not go to 91 Pasteur expecting the old rooftop. Use the Ba Son address and current hotline instead.

The restaurant keeps the core idea that made Saigon Grill recognizable: an elevated, open-air dinner built around grilled meat, seafood, Vietnamese flavors and a city view. The Ba Son setting shifts the perspective closer to the river and the newer downtown skyline. Recent diners reviewing the Ba Son restaurant describe rooftop views, evening breezes and a dinner atmosphere that works especially well once the city lights come on. The rooftop format can also mean heat, wind or rain depending on the weather, so it is worth asking for a sheltered table if conditions look unsettled.

The current official menu is broad rather than limited to simple barbecue. Meat dishes include Saigon Grill Ba Son steak, grilled pork ribs, grilled pork belly, beef steamed with pink salt and lemongrass, bone marrow, and Dak Nong-style grilled chicken served with bamboo rice. Seafood runs from salmon tartare and soy-marinated salmon to prawns, grouper and cod. The menu also includes noodles, fried rice, vegetarian dishes and hotpots, so a mixed group does not have to order only grilled meat. This makes the restaurant more flexible for a long dinner than the word “grill” might suggest.

Several dishes show the restaurant’s preference for combining familiar Vietnamese ingredients with contemporary presentation. The official Ba Son menu pairs grilled or steamed meats with herbs, pickles and sauces, while seafood dishes use ingredients such as yuzu, wasabi, XO sauce and fish roe alongside Vietnamese greens and seasonings. Vegetarian options include mushroom fried rice and chilled Korean-style glass noodles. The menu also includes beer, tea, juices, cocktails and wine. Prices are listed in thousands of Vietnamese dong and the menu states that VAT and service charge are not included, so the final bill can be higher than the printed food total.

The move also matters because many current travel and restaurant pages still show Saigon Grill Pasteur as if nothing changed. Tripadvisor continues to display the claimed 91 Pasteur profile with daily evening hours, while Restaurant Guru now labels Saigon Grill Pasteur permanently closed. Saigon Grill’s own website is the stronger source for this transition: it explicitly says the Pasteur restaurant temporarily ceased operations at that address in order to relocate. The same official page provides the Ba Son address, Ba Son phone number and the group’s current opening schedule.

For Ba Son, the operator lists opening from 16:30 to 23:00 every day. Restaurant Guru’s current Ba Son page extends that slightly to around 23:30 and contains recent Google-derived reviews from the middle of 2026. Because the official restaurant website is the better authority for standard hours, 16:30–23:00 is the schedule used here. If you are planning a late dinner, contact the restaurant rather than assuming the kitchen accepts orders until the final minute. The current Ba Son hotline is +84 93 125 96 36.

The address is on the rooftop of the Saigon Riverside Office Center at 2A–4A Ton Duc Thang, in the central Saigon ward. Taxi or ride-hailing is the easiest way to arrive if you are coming from another part of the city. If you are already around the riverfront, Dong Khoi or the Ba Son area, the restaurant fits naturally into an evening in central District 1. Because Saigon Grill also operates a separate Thi Sach rooftop branch, make sure your driver or reservation specifies “Ba Son” rather than simply “Saigon Grill.” The two branches have different phone numbers and should not be treated as interchangeable reservations.

Recent public feedback for the Ba Son location is useful but still limited compared with the years of reviews accumulated by the former Pasteur restaurant. Current Google-derived reviews mention tasty seafood and grilled food, attentive service and pleasant views, while another recent diner found the room noisy or stuffy. These are individual experiences, not a reliable prediction of every evening. What they do confirm is that the Ba Son restaurant is functioning as a real current dining venue rather than merely appearing on an unfinished relocation page.

The new location also appears to be a substantial restaurant operation rather than a temporary pop-up. A commercial-kitchen supplier published a July 2026 project report about installing the Ba Son kitchen on the rooftop site, describing separate hot-kitchen, preparation, storage and beverage areas. That operational evidence reinforces the current official restaurant page and recent diner activity. It also helps distinguish the Ba Son venue from stale Pasteur listings that continue to circulate online.

A typical dinner here is worth allowing roughly one and a half to two and a half hours, especially if your table plans to share several grilled dishes, seafood and drinks. Larger groups should reserve ahead because rooftop tables with better views are likely to be the most requested. The current sources do not provide sufficiently reliable information about step-free access from the street to the rooftop, accessible restrooms or the exact lift route within the office building, so travelers with mobility requirements should ask the restaurant directly before booking.

Saigon Grill is therefore still a valid Ho Chi Minh City restaurant recommendation, but the location change is essential. The old Pasteur rooftop belongs to the restaurant’s history, not to current arrival instructions. For the current experience, use Saigon Grill Ba Son at 2A–4A Ton Duc Thang, confirm the reservation with the Ba Son hotline, and expect an evening rooftop restaurant focused on Vietnamese-inflected grilled meats, seafood, hotpots and drinks rather than a quick meal. The move has changed the address and the view, but the restaurant’s central idea—dinner from a rooftop above the city—remains intact.
