Dim Tu Tac (Chinese: 點都得) is a Cantonese cuisine restaurant chain in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, particularly famous for their dim sum[1] and Peking duck.[2] Founded in 2015, it has since become one of the most popular restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City[3][4] and has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand selection in 2023 and 2024.[5]
In Cantonese, 'Dim Tu Tac' means "anything you want" or "anything is possible." The name suggests the aim to establish the restaurant as the go-to place for the most genuine and diverse Cantonese food experiences.[6]
In early 2015, the brand was founded with its first restaurant in District 4. It was then followed by branches at Tân Sơn Nhất Hotel in Phú Nhuận District, next to 7th Military Region headquarters and the same name arena and stadium, District 5 in Queen Plaza Convention and Wedding Center on Trần Hưng Đạo Boulevard in the end of the same year and District 10 in 2017.[6]

On June 27, 2024, Dim Tu Tac received the Bib Gourmand distinction in the second edition of the Michelin Guide in Vietnam.[12] In October, Dim Tu Tac launched its newest branch at Cobi Tower II, the first branch to open in an office tower in Phú Mỹ Hưng urban area, District 7.[13][14]
