Bar Rơm

Bar Rơm is a binchotan grill and wine bar on Trần Ngọc Diện in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City. The venue occupies the first floor of 02 COMMONS, a repurposed building in the Thảo Điền ward. The Lab Concepts opened the establishment in collaboration with chef Anaïs Ca Dao. The open kitchen anchors the interior around an active Japanese white charcoal grill.

The kitchen uses binchotan charcoal to prepare small sharing plates and skewers. The food menu includes cheese fries with guava dip, black garlic salad, and clam soup. Cooks grill aubergine over coals with scallion oil, cashew koji, and hazelnut praline. Other plates feature grilled Galician pork belly, charred Brussels sprouts, and steamed mussels. The culinary program pairs regional Vietnamese spices with contemporary open-fire cooking techniques.

The beverage program focuses on low-intervention natural wines and botanical craft cocktails. Bartenders mix specialty drinks like the Fried Rice Highball and the Phú Quốc Sour. The cellar rotates natural wine labels by the glass through partnerships with local importers. Guests can also choose local craft beers and regional Vietnamese spirits.

The space combines an indoor dining counter with a leafy outdoor terrace. Woven bamboo blinds, raw plaster textures, and dim lighting shape the dining room. Indoor seating accommodates thirty diners, while the outdoor section seats fifty. The bar welcomes evening walk-ins along with reserved dinner bookings.
