303 Garden Station — Open-air Garden – Lounge – KTV complex — 303 Pham Van Dong, HCMC303 GARDEN STATIONSAIGON'S OPEN-AIR CHILL STATION

303 Garden Station is an open-air garden venue with three parts, Garden, Lounge and KTV, located at 303 Pham Van Dong Boulevard, Hanh Thong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Regulars just say 303, 303 Garden or the 303 on Pham Van Dong; because this area belonged to Go Vap District before 1 July 2025, many people still search for “303 Go Vap”.

The brand mark is a hexagon outlined in green neon. Inside, the number 303 is built in bold 3D: the middle 0 holds a kitchen flame, the last 3 wears a chef's hat, a sweeping curve runs underneath and clover leaves are dotted around the frame. Kitchen fire and greenery sum up the idea of 303: good food in the middle of a garden. The venue's latest cover artwork runs with the theme “Summer on the Island – Mùa hè chill cùng 303”, complete with a palm island and a sunset over the sea.

Unlike quiet garden restaurants, 303 has a stage, LED screens and a show lighting rig, much like an outdoor concert. An evening here can start as dinner with colleagues or friends and turn fully into a party once the music picks up.

The first landmark is the glowing 303 GARDEN STATION lettering mounted on a steel truss. Inside, the garden runs along the Pham Van Dong frontage with long wooden tables and benches, potted palms, tropical plants and strings of lights overhead. Seen from above, the tables sit right by the pavement, with boulevard traffic flowing just beyond the trees, so the place always feels like a lively street corner at night.

Tall LED columns rise from the garden scrolling the words GARDEN STATION, with steel trusses of show lights above. The main stage is built into a large artificial rock wall: the DJ booth sits up high, an LED screen behind it, and the crowd gathers around the rows of tables below.

The service team wears red shirts with green aprons, easy to spot in a crowd when you want to order. On birthday nights, the garden also gets Happy Birthday light arches and balloon backdrops.

According to the venue, the stage changes pace through the evening: acoustic sets and live singers early on, then a band and DJs playing Deep House, Chill Pop and Vietnamese hits as the night goes on. The large LED screen is also used to show big football matches for the whole garden.

The venue's photos and videos show the whole garden raising phone lights to the music and the DJ playing from the top of the rock wall. If you want to sit near the stage, say so when you book; if you mainly want to talk, the Lounge or the early evening will be more comfortable.

303 divides its space into four areas, each suited to a different kind of night:

The menu at 303 runs to 19 pages, built around grilled dishes, seafood, hotpot and street food. The Best Seller page features house dishes such as 303 chilli-dipped beef and 303 Thai-style fish glass noodles, alongside Cabi fried rice, chicken steamed with cordyceps mushrooms and francolin hotpot.

Live seafood is sold by weight, each kind with a few cooking styles to choose from: Hong Kong-style steamed pearl grouper, eel grilled with chilli salt, sweet snails grilled in the rustic style, blood cockles in tamarind and tiger prawns tossed in salt. Larger groups can order sharing dishes such as Sashimi for 5, Thai-style soft-shell crab with tamarind sauce or Thai pork ribs. The squid and prawn pages add fried baby squid with fish sauce, sun-dried squid grilled in the rustic style, steamed squid with ginger and scallion, Thai-style rare prawns and three-flavour prawns.

The full dish list is on the website's menu page; when you book, staff will suggest a set to match your headcount.
