About us
Experience Synesthesia
To truly know something, you need to know where it’s from, where it’s at, and where it’s going. This is particularly true for tastes. To appreciate a flavor fully, you must understand its journey. This is why ÔMM travels to farms to smell soil, touch budding leaves, and speak with farmers. We listen to the stories of distillers and the aspirations of roasters. In doing so, our mixologists have the intimacy needed to elevate the ingredients on their path with the support of traditional techniques and advanced technology. Vacuum distillation, centrifugation, infusion, and clarification all become conduits for the ingredients' past and the individuals who hold them as memories. Finally, a drink is only as mature as its context, so ÔMM serves our cocktails surrounded by artwork that joins the conversation, adding another layer of insight to the discussions you have with flavor, craft, inspiration, and expression.

The Ômm emblem is a visual echo of our brand’s soul.
A Sense of the Collective, Creative Self
Identity is a swirl of influence, origin, and originality. ÔMM’s cocktails aspire to be wholly unique while never forgetting the memories they share with the world. They begin with dreams of place – tea, chocolate, coffee grown in gardens, groves, fields, and farms that have been home to ancient culture and knowledge. Lemongrass, limes, jackfruit, star anise, mango, pineapple, chilli, and lychee offer folk poems, myths, and legends. These fresh ingredients are composed into a collective voice via Shuzo Nagumo’s mastery of blending methods and recipes spanning tradition and invention.

Shuzo Nagumo - A Master of Translating Senses
Shuzo Nagumo speaks in tongues. He is fluent in heritage cocktail techniques and advanced technologies. He traveled far and wide to pick up the languages of planting, harvesting, preparing, and aging from gardens, fields, kitchens, and laboratories. Legends, histories, trends, and myths fill his vernacular. By listening to painters, musicians, artisans, chefs, and designers, he can communicate in bold and unexpected ways that always contain a calming confidence. More than 20 years of experience as a mixologist in Japan and the UK allow him to place an artful blend of all these stories in your glass.
Ômm Mixology
Where spirits speak softly.
Chi Nguyet Phu
- A Teller of Flavors
Chi Nguyet Phu brings precision, creativity, and a refined sense of balance to every cocktail he creates. Inspired by fresh ingredients, he works with distinctive infusions and delicate sweet-sour balances, keeping his presentation clean and minimal. A Second Prize winner at the Vietnam Whisky Festival 2022, he continues to explore the possibilities of flavor through his craft.
As Head Bartender at Ômm Mixology, he sees every cocktail as a story waiting to be discovered - bringing together technique and emotional connection to turn every sip into an exciting journey of exploration.
Space As Curated Conversation
These liquid visions of self are shared with visual expression at Saigon’s contemporary art cocktail bar. Sip among artworks that explore similar wellsprings of creative identity. Join a conversation with Baby Reni’s investigation of the disarming power of ‘cuteness,’ Đào Tùng’s diffusing of folk poetry into hyper-focus, Cam Xanh’s layering of cultural anxieties across commerce, and Bert Ackley’s inquisition of the role of free-will in discovery, as well as Tôn Thất Minh Nhật and Nguyễn Đức Phương tugging on the anonymity of norms. While our mixologists create in the open bar, the sleek room’s calming light and cozy furniture compel you to lean closer, become a piece of art while you sit amongst it.
Gastronomy Pairing
Crafting Gastronomical Harmony
Food isn’t an accessory to cocktails; it's a companion on their journey. ÔMM listens to the stories ingredients carry with them from the land and sea, giving them a voice alongside our cocktails. Abalone, crab, duck, Wagyu beef, snail, and scallop evolve under the inspiration of local ingredients and experimental vision. Herbs, spices, and seasoning foster the transformations so each refined dish performs a duet with our cocktails. Their rich, salty, fresh, and spicy notes balance the sweet, bitter, earthy elements of the drinks, taking both to higher levels. To drink without eating is to listen to look without seeing.
