The Overview

Housed in a renovated warehouse along a quiet side street of bustling District One, French-managed Flow brings together many of life’s pleasures—fine food, fine art, fine wines. The 28-year-old, classically trained Vietnamese chef at the helm, Hung Nguyen, brings a youthful, contemporary approach to his France-meets-Vietnam menu, with dishes like seared lamb served with finely chopped black olives, truffles, and bitter, spicy la lot leaves and a pho-inspired beef consommé accompanied by market-fresh tiger prawns from the island of Phu Quoc. There’s also an array of traditional homemade pastas with ingredients like goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, and decadent desserts—strawberry mascarpone served in a cocktail glass; pannacotta with an espresso reduction. The industrial-chic surroundings are similarly lavish yet unconventional, with concrete floors, red and black velvet seating, and a long white marble bar backed by dozens of bottles of wine. Walls serve as an art gallery for Hélène Kling’s colorful, Asia-inspired paintings, an artist who’s lived in Vietnam since 1996.
