ONVIT

ONVIT is a Korean fine-dining restaurant on the third floor of the Grand Plaza Hotel at 117 Trần Duy Hưng in Yên Hoà, west Hanoi, Vietnam. It is the first Korean restaurant in Vietnam to win a Michelin star, awarded in 2026. Chef Joon Hyuk builds a contemporary Korean tasting menu on house-fermented jang, the family of fermented soy pastes and sauces at the base of Korean cooking, and on premium Vietnamese ingredients. The approach ties a long Korean fermentation tradition to local produce, which gives the menu a strong sense of place despite its Korean roots. Signature elements include the tasting menu built on Vietnamese produce, courses that showcase the house-fermented jang, and a charcoal-grilled meat course. The dining room is a hotel restaurant with a formal, composed atmosphere, quiet enough for conversation and suited to celebratory meals, with attentive service. Smart dress is advisable. Prices are the highest in this list, at about 1,800,000 to 3,200,000 VND (roughly USD 69.25 to 123.10) per person, reflecting the tasting-menu format and the Michelin recognition. The restaurant serves Tuesday to Sunday from 11:30 to 14:00 and 17:30 to 22:00 and is closed on Monday. Reservations are essential and can be made by phone or through the restaurant's social channels, and the Michelin star is likely to make tables harder to secure, so booking well ahead is prudent. The location on Trần Duy Hưng lies west of the city centre, roughly a taxi ride away from Hoàn Kiếm Lake and the Old Quarter, so visitors should allow travel time. It is a destination restaurant for travellers with a serious interest in contemporary Korean food or in Hanoi's growing fine-dining scene.
