Amane Sushiya

“I’ve eaten here two or three times, and every time it’s been absolutely delicious. The fish is flown in fresh from Japan every week straight to the table. The preparation is simple, but it really brings out the natural sweetness and balance of the flavors. The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel warm and welcoming. They’ll start serving lunch after March 11, 2026, and I’ll definitely be back to try it. Overall, it’s a lovely little spot that feels comfortable and inviting. Love this place 🌸”

“We originally stopped by for a quick meal, but the experience felt much more special than I expected. The restaurant has a cozy, authentic Japanese atmosphere, and you can tell the team takes pride in what they do. The head chef was clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the ingredients, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely coming back to try the dinner omakase next time.”

“From the moment I stepped into this Japanese restaurant, I was welcomed with warmth, elegance, and a true sense of hospitality that immediately set the tone for the evening. The ambiance is simply beautiful—calm, refined, and thoughtfully designed. It creates the perfect setting whether you’re here for a quiet dinner, a special celebration, or just to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. The food absolutely outstanding. Every dish was crafted with precision and care. The sushi was incredibly fresh, the flavors perfectly balanced, and the presentation was nothing short of art. You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion behind each plate. What impressed me even more was the service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. They made thoughtful recommendations and ensured that every detail of the experience was flawless without ever being intrusive.”

“I had the privilege of dining at the newly-opened Amane Sushiya and it was honestly a great experience overall. Up-front, I messed up my reservation but the staff were very patient and understanding, and accommodated me nonetheless. I was dining solo and chose to sit at the counter-end, which allowed me to take in the entire layout of the restaurant and soak in the whole dining experience. For groups, there was booth seating available as well. I elected to go with the omakase menu with additional nigiri. Every item was carefully handcrafted and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. I came to learn that the head chef had trained in Japan and he explained that they imported their fish directly from there twice a week. They worked with seasonal products and seafood and at this time of the year, he was using Firefly Squid caught off the colder waters off Japan, giving an insight into the restaurant’s dedication to quality and creativity. Every slice of sashimi was generous and, when paired with the perfectly vinegared rice and nikiri glaze, brought a light taste of the sea to the middle of downtown Ho Chi Minh City. All these without leaving an overpowering or lingering fishy taste on the palate - the hallmark of any awesome omakase restaurant imho. The restaurant is nestled at the basement of Amaya Saigon Hotel and like most omakase restaurants, isn’t the biggest. The dinner crowd was pretty bustling so reservations are definitely recommended. I did it through FB messenger and the staff were immediately responsive - and in English no less! All in all, my menu consisted of 20 courses and I walked away satiated with just the right amount of full. My bill was also a very reasonable VND2.2m nett (just about USD$85) considering that I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less quality and food at lesser omakase restaurants. Everything on balance, I would say Amane represents great value and a memorable dining experience in the heart of District 1. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back.”

“Best omakase I've ever had. The fish is super fresh. Service is excellent; staff is very attentive and friendly. Price is reasonable. No complaints.”
