We are incredibly proud to share that Bánh Mì Nếm has officially retained its place in the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau for 2026.

Earning this recognition as a takeaway concept was a dream, but to retain it, while remaining the only sandwich shop in Hong Kong to hold this distinction, is a true testament to our team’s heart and hustle. Even as we see so many new bánh mì concepts following in our wake, staying true to our original standard remains our greatest priority.

From our shatteringly crispy bánh mì to the legendary 6-hour coconut water braised pork belly, we have stayed dedicated to the textures and flavors that defined us from day one.

This year has been an incredible whirlwind, from being named Best Vietnamese Restaurant 2025 by @afoodieworld to this continued Michelin recognition. None of this would be possible without our amazing team and, most importantly, your unwavering support. The energy you’ve shown for our bánh mì is what inspires us to keep redefining what street food can be.

As we celebrate this moment at our two current homes, we can’t help but wonder… where should we bring the crunch next?

With deepest gratitude,

17 years ago, we made history. Today, we are overwhelmed with gratitude to announce that La Volta has been included in the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau, one of only 10 new restaurants across the city to be added this year. It brings our journey full circle.

To be recognized by Michelin is always an honor. To receive a Michelin recommendation within just two months of opening, especially in a year of so many high-profile openings and new pasta concepts, is extraordinary. To stand as the only pasta bar in Hong Kong in the 2026 Guide, alongside our One Fork award from Gambero Rosso, is something we could never have imagined when we first opened our doors.

I will always be profoundly proud that Roland and I paved the way as the first Italian restaurant in Hong Kong to receive a Michelin star. It was a milestone not just for us, but for the local dining scene. Today, to return to the Guide with La Volta, a humble pasta bar rooted in passion and simplicity, is a feeling beyond words.

When I opened the restaurant, it was never about chasing stars or accolades. This was a passion project through and through, born from a deep love for the industry in a city where the F&B landscape is uniquely challenging. It was about creating a casual, no-frills space to serve the honest, tasty, unpretentious food we all crave. It was about coming home and reuniting with Chef Roland Schuller, the maestro from my first ever restaurant.

Throughout the years, I’ve been privileged to curate and develop numerous restaurants that achieved great success, but a vision remains just an idea without a team to bring it to life. This recognition is a testament to our team’s heart and hustle; they are the true soul of La Volta, and my greatest pride.

Some might say a Michelin recommendation is just a page in a guide. To us, it is a beautiful affirmation of our food and of you, our community, who supported us every step of the way.

This recognition proves that great food does not need a fancy backdrop, it just needs heart. To every single person who has walked through our doors, shared a meal, and believed in this dream: this recognition shines because of you.

With deepest thanks,

My year on a plate.

What a year. A year of launching a second home for @banhminem.hk and watching a dream come to life with @lavoltahk. To see it recognized by both Gambero Rosso and Michelin within just three months is something I’ll never forget. None of it would exist without your support - thank you all for being part of this journey.

It was also a year that reminded me how fragile life can be. One thing I learned: cherish every meal with people you care about.

Here are some of my favorite dishes from 2025.

1. Le Sette Consistenze della Cipolla (I Masanielli, Caserta)
2. Kohada Nigiri (Nagatacho Kanesaka, Tokyo)
3. Kinshi Montblanc “Sha” (Waguri Senmon Saori, Kyoto)
4. Unagi Shirayaki (Gion Manma, Kyoto)
5. Den Salad (Den, Tokyo)
6. Charcoal-grilled Taiza Kani (Ogata, Kyoto)
7. Spaghetti alla Moro (Trattoria al Moro, Rome)
8. Ikura Gunkan (Sushi Sanshin, Osaka)
9. Tellinas Clams (Casa Carmela, Valencia)

To more moments worth holding onto in the year ahead. taken in Hong Kong by @jmui852

Let’s keep the good news coming!

We are deeply honoured to announce that our pasta bar has been selected for the upcoming 2026 Michelin Guide.

This moment feels like a homecoming. Sixteen years ago, my first restaurant The Drawing Room became the first Italian restaurant in Hong Kong to earn a Michelin star, and it did so within just months of opening.

Today, history echoes. Having been open for just under three months, we have now been awarded a Gambero Rosso Fork and this Michelin recognition in the span of just one week.

To receive back-to-back accolades from both legendary guides is a profound affirmation. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering belief and support from our community, and the phenomenal dedication of our entire team.

Our heartfelt thanks to the artists in the kitchen: Executive Chef Roland Schuller, Chef de Cuisine Wallace Lo, Monique, Lung, Jimmy, Joe, Dom, and Fung. And to everyone in our front of house. This is for every one of you.

The journey continues, and we are so grateful to have you all by our side.

The white diamonds have arrived.

To celebrate our Gambero Rosso award, we’re offering exquisite white truffles (aka white diamonds), hand-selected daily from Alba, Tuscany, and Umbria.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our community. To give back, we’re offering these treasures at a price that’s beyond reasonable - starting at just $70/gram, a fraction of the typical market rate - as a true celebration with those who have been with us from day one.

Enjoy them with our wild mushroom tart, fassona beef tartare, homemade tagliolini, burrata ravioli with beef cheek ragù, or homemade vanilla gelato.

Available by the gram or by the piece. We handpick the best daily, so come and secure yours while they last (subject to availability).

Come and celebrate with us! taken in La Volta HK by @jmui852

We are beyond grateful and proud to share that we’ve been awarded One Fork in this year’s Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurant Guide.

To be honest, it came as a complete surprise, as we’ve only been open for two and a half months! This actually breaks our own record, beating the 7 months it took for our first restaurant to earn a Michelin star. It’s a true honour to be recognized amongst the twelve best Italian restaurants from Hong Kong & Macau.

For those who aren’t familiar, Gambero Rosso Restaurant Guide is a hugely respected guide (like the Michelin Guide) dedicated solely to the very best Italian restaurants around the world.

This wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing team, who pour their heart into every dish; and to every single person who has supported us since day one, thank you all so much. We promise to keep getting better and make every visit even more special than the last.

A rather belated NWA to celebrate the new opening of my two restaurants, @banhminem.hk and @lavoltahk.

Those who know me know I’ve been eyeing this piece for a year. I’m beyond ecstatic and truly grateful to have been allocated my modern grail.

I’ve never been a watch nerd obsessed with complications, but the F.P.Journe Chronomètre à Résonance is the one that truly captivated me. The idea is genius: two independent movements and balance wheels on a single mainplate, “listening” to each other until they find a harmonious beat. This natural phenomenon of resonance cancels out disturbances, making it more precise than either could be alone.

Incredibly grateful to have been allocated this piece, and I look forward to embarking on the FPJ journey with it on my wrist. taken in F.P. Journe Official by @jmui852
