Grateful to see Gia, Upstairs, and Little Bear all recognised by the Michelin Guide 2026, with Upstairs joining Gia with a new Michelin star🌟. A proud and humbling moment for our teams, and a reminder that every meaningful step is built with heart, patience, and belief. #michelinvn #carryonthelegacy

A special evening shared with peers, friends, and so many people we deeply admire.
Grateful to be in the same room, to celebrate, reconnect, and simply enjoy the moment together.
Thank you to our team, and to everyone who continues to support Seroja with so much warmth and generosity. 🙏

#asias50bestrestaurants A night dedicated to gathering and celebrating the hard work with some of the best people in the industry. This year marks another big milestone for @gia.hanoi , debuting and becoming the only representative from Vietnam to make it onto the list. And @seroja.sg , making it into the top 50 for the second consecutive year. A huge shoutout to #seoul and everyone who helped make this night happen – thank you for being such amazing hosts. Love you all!!! #nighttoremember

Living across four cities in three different countries has never been easy. After four years of constantly being on the move, I can feel that the pace has begun to take a toll on me, both physically and mentally.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to step down from my role as Co-Founder & General Manager of Seroja.
This is not a decision I’ve made lightly. Seroja has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life, and I’m incredibly proud of everything we have built and achieved together.
2026 has been one of Seroja’s biggest years yet — reaching No. 64 on the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, rising to No. 20 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, and earning our second Michelin star. These milestones mean so much more than the rankings and accolades themselves. They represent years of hard work, countless challenges, and the dedication of everyone who has poured their heart into making Seroja what it is today.
To have been part of this journey, alongside my brothers @kevinwongxx & @andrewoou and our incredible team @seroja.sg , is something I will always be proud of.
But perhaps it’s time for me to slow down.
To spend more time with the people I love — the ones I’ve sometimes unintentionally neglected. To catch up on sleep. To take a step back, reflect on what truly matters, and make space for what comes next.
And, perhaps most importantly, to give myself the time and space to pursue a vision of my own.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of the Seroja journey with me — my partners, our team, our suppliers, our friends in the industry, and every guest who has walked through our doors.
As I turn the page on this chapter, I do so with immense pride in everything we have accomplished and excitement for what lies ahead. If this year has shown us anything, it’s that there is still so much more to come. I have no doubt that more good news will follow, and I’ll always be cheering Seroja on.
Seroja will always hold a special place in my heart.
This is not a goodbye — it’s simply the beginning of a new chapter.
I am grateful. Thank you. ❤️

Gia Hanoi (@gia.hanoi) is one of Tatler Asia’s Best 100 Restaurants in 2025, and was founded by head chef @_samilicious and @its_a_long_journey with the hope of showcasing Hanoi’s cultural practices through a tasting menu. Find takes on Vietnamese street food culture, like the act of pairing peanuts and cold beer by the roadside or grilled dishes during communal gatherings, reimagined through chef Sam’s creative lens.

Honoured to be featured in L’OFFICIEL HOMMES Vietnam’s 100 Portraits 2026.
One hundred different journeys — and the many ways we continue to define what it means to be Vietnamese today.
Grateful to be part of the story. @lofficielhommesvietnam

A special evening, made meaningful by the people who shared it with us.
Our heartfelt thanks to Chef Noboru Arai @arainoboru and the @restauranthommage team for sharing your experience and generosity with us here in Saigon.
A special shout-out to Madam Mayuka Arai, Mr. Tsutomu Tokiwa @tokiwa75, Chef Park Jeong Seop @wjdtjqdl and Ms. Melanie Marot @melanichedanslejardin for being part of this journey and bringing so much warmth and good energy along the way.
And to everyone who joined us at the table, thank you for the incredible response and for filling the room for our one-night collaboration.
It was a true pleasure to cook, share and spend these few days together.
Until we meet again, HOMMAGE. ❤️

Its a wrap for our Gia🇻🇳X Linamnam🇵🇭collaboration.
It was truly an honor to be able to cook alongside an incredibly talented team, it is a pleasure to be able to learn your culture and share flavors from the philippines in Hanoi.
We will not just remember this collaboration for the experience and food, but for the hospitality we experienced from the Gia Team in their home. It truly felt like we were the true guests in the collaboration.
Thank you for the Countless conversations over ingredients, techniques, and stories of Vietnam. We hope to welcome you next in manila. 🥂

Another Michelin year. What a year it has been! 🐻❤️ We’re beyond thrilled to see this special award again - Michelin Selected 2026.
To see Little Bear recognized again means more than we can probably put into words. Because behind every service, every dish, every bottle and every seat filled - there are people.
People who stayed late.
People who came in early.
People who covered for each other.
People who laughed through chaos and somehow still found energy to cook one more dish, pour one more glass, and welcome one more table.
This recognition belongs to every Bear.
To our kitchen, FOH, admin, marketing, and everyone making things happen every day.
To our friends, collaborators, suppliers, and partners who opened their doors and shared their stories with us.
And most importantly, our guests.
Thank you for trusting us with birthdays, celebrations, random dinners, first dates, catch-ups, and ordinary days that somehow became memorable.
At Little Bear, we still believe the best part of hospitality isn’t awards. It’s seeing people leave happier than when they arrived. So thank you for another year of letting us do what we love.
We’ll keep cooking. Keep learning. Keep opening bottles. Keep making room at the table.
With love,
Little Bears.

From the very beginning, Upstairs was created with the hope of becoming a place where people could gather around a table, enjoy a meal prepared with care, and rediscover Vietnamese flavors through a thoughtful and sincere lens.
This star belongs to the dedication of so many hands and hearts who have nurtured Upstairs day by day.
Our deepest thanks go to the entire Upstairs team - our BOH, FOH, admin, operations, and marketing teams, as well as everyone working quietly behind the scenes each day. Thank you to those who have been with us since the beginning, and to those who crossed paths with us and left their mark on this journey.
Thank you to our suppliers, partners, and collaborators for your trust and support along the way.
And above all, thank you to our guests. Thank you for your trust, your support, and for choosing Upstairs to be part of your memorable moments.
More than a milestone, we hope this recognition will inspire us to continue nurturing the belief that started it all. Through care, sincerity, and an endless curiosity for food and hospitality, Upstairs will continue moving forward in the way we always have.
Thank you for being here with us.
Love,
Upstairs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us over the two days of our collaboration at Upstairs.
Over these past days, we had the pleasure of sharing the kitchen with Chef Tung Phan of @camille.orl - a collaboration shaped by stories, curiosity, and a shared respect for Vietnamese ingredients. It was a meeting of journeys, perspectives, and the people who made it all meaningful.
To Chef Tung, thank you for bringing your craft and your story back home. And thank you to all the members of Upstairs who helped create these moments.

Cảm ơn tất cả những vị khách đã đến và đồng hành cùng Upstairs tại sự kiện vừa qua.
Trong những ngày này, chúng tôi có cơ hội được cùng đứng bếp với Chef Tùng Phan từ @camille.orl - một sự kết hợp được tạo nên từ những câu chuyện, sự tò mò và tình yêu dành cho nguyên liệu Việt Nam.
Cảm ơn Chef Tùng vì đã mang câu chuyện và hành trình của mình trở về. Và cảm ơn những mảnh ghép của Upstairs đã cùng tạo nên những khoảnh khắc này.
