About Ōmao

Ōmao isn't trying to be a big restaurant. It's a corner just warm enough to land in after a long day — good plant-based cooking, a little wine, a little jazz, and three yellow lamps hung slightly crooked, much like the chef who hung them.

The menu changes every day, depending on what the chef feels like cooking. Come alone, that's fine. Bring someone. Bring the cat, even.

The Space · Thảo Điền

Hidden behind the leaves

We're on Thảo Điền street, where the trees outnumber the traffic and people walk a beat slower. Inside, it's wood, ceramics, warm light and a playlist in no hurry. Take the seat by the window, order a glass, and let the afternoon drift.

Pets welcome — bring them along.

Eat & Sip

Plant-Based & Sip

Two halves make Ōmao — honest food, and drinks that keep you sitting a little longer.

Eat — Plant-Based

100% plants, cooked simply, genuinely good — no lectures, no fuss. Dishes follow the days and the seasons.

Sip

Vietnamese coffee, tea, and a little wine for slow evenings. The sip is Ōmao's soul — the part that keeps you here a little longer.

🌿 Fully plant-based — a way of eating that's gentle on you, and gentle on the earth.
