Towa - Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Have seen the ad in FB, we have been wanting to go and today was the day with my sister in town. The restaurant is located to the right side of the Sedona Suites at 28th floor. Spectacular 180 views. Restaurant is subtle decorated , very elegant. We had set lunch which price is very reasonable. There are quite a few choices with bento styles, either meat or seafood, rice bowls. We ordered steaks and chicken, it was good but I took away one point as it was not piping hot. While price for set lunch is reasonable, a can of Saporo is VND 160,000 which is a little expensive to add on since tea is included in the set lunch. Service was great, our server was Ms Thanh Tuyền, she was absolutely amazing, super professional, super polite and knowledgeable answering all the questions. We will be back to have dinner to try on their menu, the view at night...

Lovely dining experience. The server gives you a steaming hot towel scented with a refreshing aroma (lemongrass?). The view of the city is nice, and the kitchen is situated in the center of the restaurant. Staff are very friendly. Of the dishes I tried, the wagyu tacos were the best - phenomenal, in fact. They’re served on a thin crispy base and the beef is thinly sliced and delicately dressed with a delicious sauce. The miso soup is dressed up with more vegetables and seafood than the traditional dish. The chicken was hot, juicy and crispy. The aburi salmon was perfectly seared and paired well with the onions, avocado and slightly sweet dipping sauce. Finally, the ambiance: the seating was comfortable, the temperature perfect and the music upbeat and trendy. This would be a great place for a date or spending time...

I just had a dinner with my family at Towa. We are a group of four, cost us over 1mil VND each. The food was decorated beautifully, great chance for who into taking pictures of every dish. However, comparing to other sushi restaurant, the portion was a bit smaller and price is exceptionally more expensive.

Not sure whether because the restaurant was running a la carte and buffet at the same time, but the food was served extremely slow. We came early as around 6.30pm, the first round of order came to our table real fast, but the last 3 dishes took 30 mins each to be served. The staffs were nice, really hardworking, had to serve many tables at the time, but the kitchen seems overloaded.

We left the restaurant at 9:30pm but still hungry, and had to find some desserts outside to full...
