The salmon soup was delicious, but there was very little of it. The burger was good with a big piece of meat. The view from the balcony is beautiful.

Cool rooftop bar and cafe with a great view of the park and the harbor. The coconut coffee was delicious. And so we’re the durian and coconut icecream and the matcha cake. Super friendly waiter. We spent over an hour there.

Nice location where you can have drinks (hard liquor bar opens at 6 pm), food and dessert at cheap prices - we paid around 50 USD for 2 steaks, a pizza, 5 cocktails, 3 beers and 2 cakes. Staff was friendly and our server spoke good English (the lady working on the top level). I only gave 4 stars because our steaks were chewy.

Good coffee. Chill view to the Bay. Price is not high. Many seats in and outside. Highly recommend when visiting Hon Gai.

After alighting the cab, I was underwhelmed with what I saw. The place looked average. But yea, you need to take the elevator and get off on the sixth floor. The restaurant greets you once the elevator opens. They have an al fresco setup, from where you can see some beautiful views. The atmosphere was a bit silent and off, but after trying their food, I was totally hyped! Everything was delicious to the point that I want to recommend it to my friends as well. It may be unusual to try non-Vietnamese food while in Vietnam, but this could be a good exception
