Bitexco Financial Tower’s high floors are a restaurant made of glass: curved glazing wraps the Saigon skyline, from amber sunset to the city lighting up. The space spans two levels — the main dining room and the lounge mezzanine — bamboo slat walls and a honeycomb-mesh ceiling casting warm gold light.
The architectural centerpiece is the private tatami room: a wall of koi swimming on black lacquer, tatami mats, low cushions. A properly Japanese room — except that beyond the glass, the city glitters thirty floors below.
Under the mezzanine, the long sushi bar glows through the dinner rush; above it, the lounge with gourd paper lanterns and the sake wall. An evening at Sorae has two movements: dinner, then staying on — once the city lights are fully up.
One honest note: the house has not published a price list, and we do not fill prices in. You come to Sorae for the high-floor space, the sunset hour, and Japanese dishes made before your eyes — not for a figure.
