Having tried the Set Ryu, I had an absolutely memorable dining experience from start to finish. ​Every dish in the set was meticulously prepared, but two highlights truly stood out for me: ​Hokkaido Scallop with Beurre Blanc: The scallop was seared to perfection—sweet, tender, and juicy. The Beurre Blanc sauce was the star of the dish, perfectly balanced with a rich texture and a subtle, refreshing acidity. ​Mont Blanc: A flawless end to the meal. It offered a rich, authentic chestnut flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, making it delightful without being overwhelming. ​Beyond the outstanding food, the service made the evening truly complete. Special thanks to Ánh, who took care of our table. She was attentive, warm, and exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu. Her seamless recommendations and genuine hospitality added a wonderful touch to our night. ​I will definitely return and highly recommend Set Ryu to friends and family!

Attentive service. The quality of both the seafood and beef is good. However, the food presentation could be improved to make the dishes look more visually appealing. I heard that the restaurant offers both an à la carte menu and teppanyaki, so I will definitely try those next time.

fancy sushi restaurant located inside the fairmont hotel. service was standout and extremely attentive. food was great but thrown off by almost 20% in surcharges. sushi platter: would highly recommend, high quality fish and rice. slightly too much wasabi. wagyu skewer: super rich, would recommend sharing. seafood fried rice: standard fare, nothing special but good
