Why Choose 102 Uniq

Modern Vietnamese dining defined by vibrant flavors, careful dietary options, and a relaxed atmosphere

  • Flavors That Feel Light and Energizing

    Dishes pair bold fragrant herbs and sharp spices with an exceptionally light mouthfeel, avoiding heaviness or excess oil.

    adventure of flavours of fragrant herbs and sharp spicy notes, and interestingly the mouthfeel was extremely light on the palette which blew me away

  • Delicately Balanced, Fresh Broths

    Traditional Vietnamese staples like pho are simmered for clean, delicate depth rather than cloying richness.

    The pho was fresh, delicate but full of flavour.
