Dinning
DinningBased on three key principles: local identity, embracing seasonal produce, and a spirit of creative experimentation, we are constantly seeking and discovering a fresh harmony at NÚC, a place that is always full of life and completeness.
Restaurant
A phonetic variation of "nước" (water) in Vietnamese, NÚC strives to reinterpret Vietnam's culinary heritage and more, starting from the abundant seasonal ingredients to the distinctive cooking methods, and the perfectly natural confluence of countless influences that Vietnamese culture has inherited and absorbed.

Cuisine
Based on three core principles of local cuisine, embracing seasonal produce, and guided by Chef Dong Hoang Nam's creative spirit of experimentation, NUC Kitchen celebrates diversity: the warmth and vibrancy of traditional Vietnamese family meals, the multifaceted and interconnected culture of a rapidly developing Vietnam, and the intense emotions that both simplicity and sophistication can evoke. "Yes" is the answer to the question: Can the visual variations we see transform into unforgettable culinary experiences?

Head Chef
Inheriting the spirit of freedom and inspiration from his predecessor, Chef Tommy continues to lead the team in writing a new chapter for NÚC's culinary story.
Starting with a major in Communications before turning to culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu Thailand, his contemporary thinking and cultural sensitivity have helped him shape a groundbreaking yet authentic Asian Fusion style. Chef Tommy's patience and depth in the kitchen are demonstrated through highly meticulous techniques; under his hands, simple ingredients with the soul of East Asia, such as traditional fish sauce or coconut milk, are elevated into innovative new flavor structures. For Chef Tommy, a delicious dish is about connection, evoking memories, and shaping new emotional experiences for the future.
This solid academic foundation and mastery of balancing flavors have become the springboard for his free-spirited innovation. Chef Tommy will continuously bring fresh perspectives to contemporary cuisine.
