909 Lumina Garden & Lounge District 5, Ho Chi Minh City

909 Lumina Garden & Lounge is a two-part complex at 909 Tran Hung Dao in District 5. The Garden is a cool, leafy open-air space, quiet enough to talk and good from late afternoon. The Lounge is an air-conditioned indoor auditorium with a stage and louder music that fills up towards midnight. This page covers both: one booking, just say which section you want.

Where is 909 Lumina? Address and opening hours

The complex is at 909 Tran Hung Dao, Cho Quan Ward, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City — on the Tran Hung Dao axis linking District 1 to District 5, convenient from both downtown and the Cho Lon area. Both the Garden and the Lounge open 16:00 to 03:00 daily. The Garden fills from the cool of the late afternoon; the Lounge usually gets busy from around 21:00 onward.

The Garden: giant mushrooms, a red-blossom canopy and strings of light

The Garden is built as a storybook forest rather than a conventional courtyard: concrete mushrooms taller than a person rise up to canopy each cluster of tables, sculpted trunks wrap the walls, and the ceiling is packed with red blossom strung through with small lights like stars. Lanterns along the wall throw warm yellow onto long timber tables with bench seating — the kind of table that takes a crowd, so a group of a dozen stays on one run instead of splitting up. It is dark enough for atmosphere yet light enough to read a menu, and because this is a place people eat, guests arrive from late afternoon rather than waiting for the small hours.

The Lounge: a tiered auditorium under a radiating beam ceiling

The indoor Lounge is not a small room but a full-scale auditorium built in tiers: rows of tables step up behind metal railings, each level higher than the one in front, so every table looks straight down at the stage. The ceiling is a set of beams radiating from a central point like the ribs of a fan, packed with lighting; one side wall is a curved LED screen assembled from many panels, running most of the length of the room. A large glowing oval frames the stage. When the rig floods the space — usually in deep red — the whole structure shifts to one colour, and the room reads at once as a big stage, air-conditioned, with leather and velvet sofas.

Garden or Lounge — which to choose?

The two sections share one street number but feel completely different. For an early start and conversation among the plants in the open air, choose the Garden. For louder music, a stage and air conditioning, choose the Lounge. Plenty of groups use both in one evening: the Garden while the air is cool, then inside as the music rises — or back out to the garden to wind down late. When booking, just say which section you want, or note both time slots if you plan to move.

Table options at 909 Lumina Garden & Lounge

There are four ways to book. Garden Table seats 2–6 outdoors beneath the green wall; Garden Sofa holds 6–10 on leather and velvet seating in the open air; Lounge Sofa takes 4–8 inside the air-conditioned auditorium, facing the stage; the VIP Area is for 10–20 guests who want a private space, suited to birthdays, reunions or company nights. If you are not sure which section suits you, give your headcount and arrival time and the venue will suggest a fit.

The 909 Lumina menu: 41 pages for both sections

The menu book on this page has 41 pages, all viewable via the View menu button. Pages 1–22 are the Garden menu, mostly food: snacking plates such as 909 spring rolls, Ha Long squid patties, cheese-shaken fries and crispy rice with dried fish; live seafood priced by weight, including red grouper as sashimi, cooked with sour bamboo shoots or steamed Hong Kong style; and sharing dishes for the whole table. Pages 23–41 are the Lounge menu, built for sofa sitting: a Food & Drink page with a fruit platter, mineral water, soft drinks, cold towels and light bites such as sun-dried beef with ant salt, Vietnamese pork roll, grilled dried squid, shaking beef and French fries; table packages that always come with fruit, water and soft drinks. Both sections serve drinks by the glass and by the bottle. Groups sitting outdoors should budget extra water — Saigon nights are humid.

Birthdays at 909 Lumina

This is something 909 Lumina does often in both sections. In the Garden, the table is set with oversized letter props, a cake and flowers in the middle, and uniformed staff come out to mark the moment. In the Lounge, staff carry a Happy Birthday light board with the 909 Lumina logo to your table over the music. When you book, note the name, your headcount and the time you want the cake brought out so the venue can prepare and time it right. The VIP area is the usual choice, with room for everyone to gather round the table for photos without blocking the aisle.

Getting to 909 Lumina

909 Lumina is at 909 Tran Hung Dao in District 5. Tran Hung Dao runs straight in from central District 1, about fifteen minutes by car at night; for guests in Districts 5, 6 or 8 it is the nearby option. The road is wide, so parking and turning a car are easier than downtown. On arrival, just give the booking name and the section you chose.

Photos of 909 Lumina Garden & Lounge

The photo set on this page has 23 real photos taken at 909 Tran Hung Dao: 11 of the Garden and 12 of the Lounge. In the Garden, look for the concrete mushrooms sheltering each cluster of tables, the red-blossom canopy strung with lights like stars, lanterns casting warm light over the long timber tables, and a birthday table set with oversized letter boards. In the Lounge there is the full view of the tiered auditorium behind metal railings, the fan-like beamed ceiling, the curved LED wall and the glowing oval around the stage, lasers sweeping the crowd and a Happy Birthday light board held high on the floor. The 909 Lumina logo sits in the corner of each photo.

Reviews of 909 Lumina

On Google Maps both the Garden and the Lounge hold 4.5 stars, each from more than 100 reviews. Guests mention the Garden for a storybook-forest setting rare in District 5, and the Lounge for the scale of its tiered auditorium looking straight at the stage, with a curved LED wall that changes colour with the music. Both are praised for running birthdays right in the middle of the music. Many people search simply for “909 Tran Hung Dao” or “909 Lumina” — this is the place. A real caveat: the Lounge usually only gets busy from around 9 PM, and on Friday and Saturday nights both sections fill early. Nightclub.com.vn also collects reviews from guests who booked through the platform and actually showed up — see the Reviews block below.
