Sofitel Saigon Plaza joined hands with KOTO Foundation to launch a restaurant named ST25 by KOTO, through which KOTO will provide its graduates with a platform to showcase their skills on a global stage and remain dedicated to community development.
The name “ST25 by KOTO” pays tribute to the renowned Vietnamese rice variety, ST25, which earned the prestigious title of “World’s Best Rice” in 2019 and 2023, representing the essence of Vietnamese culture.
KOTO’s founder Jimmy Pham said this restaurant endeavors to be more than a dining experience. It is a living testament to the power of knowledge-sharing, encapsulated in KOTO’s mission: “Know One, Teach One.”
“We are delighted to partner with Sofitel Saigon Plaza to launch ST25 by KOTO. Up to 10% of each bill will be allocated to the KOTO fund. Through ST25 by KOTO, we are providing fresh prospects for our graduates and presenting the pinnacle of Vietnamese culinary artistry on the global stage,” said Jimmy Pham.
“With the introduction of ST25 by KOTO, we aim to celebrate Vietnamese culinary excellence, reinforce our deep commitment to the local community, and express our strong dedication to corporate social responsibility,” said Mario Mendis, general manager of Sofitel Saigon Plaza.
