As of the 2026 guide, there are 11 restaurants in Vietnam with a Michelin-star rating, a rating system used by the Michelin Guide to grade restaurants based on their quality.
The 2023 edition was the inaugural edition of the Michelin Guide in Vietnam, covering Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Multiple anonymous Michelin inspectors visit the restaurants several times. They rate the restaurants on five criteria: "quality of products", "mastery of flavor and cooking techniques", "the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience", "value for money", and "consistency between inspectors' visits".[8] Inspectors have at least ten years of expertise and create a list of popular restaurants supported by media reports, reviews, and diner popularity. If they reach a consensus, Michelin awards restaurants from one to three stars based on its evaluation methodology: One star means "high-quality cooking, worth a stop", two stars signify "excellent cooking, worth a detour", and three stars denote "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey".[9] The stars are not permanent and restaurants are constantly being re-evaluated. If the criteria are not met, the restaurant will lose its stars.[8]
