Where you sit
Most of the detailed reviews on Google Maps come from foreign visitors; one guest wrote that the café is right next to their hotel (Jess Wilensky). Several guests found it quiet, at one point with only two tables occupied (Nic Miller, about 1 year ago; Eva Gratius, about 2 years ago).

Before you come
Many guests complain about long waits for food, most recently Cleber Nonoyama (about 4 months ago). About 1 year ago, two guests reported an 8% service charge and a 3% credit-card fee added to the bill, while the August 2024 photo menu says prices include VAT and service, so ask before ordering. Opening hours have not been verified. The bar on the 17th-floor rooftop of the same building has its own page: Sky Bar Sirocco & Rooftop. The phone number on the Google Maps listing is +84 988 893 369, which is different from the hotel's switchboard.

The name, the address 231 Đường 1/4, the coordinates, the phone number and the drinks menu come from the Google Maps listing 'Nguyen Chat Coffee -Tea & Restaurant'. Our verifier opened it in a browser on 19 Oct 2026, when Maps showed the café as open. The atmosphere, the dishes guests order most, how to get up to the 17th floor, waiting times and surcharges come from the 144 reviews on the same listing, exported verbatim on 19 Oct 2026; review ages are as Maps shows them ('2 weeks ago', '2 years ago'). We set aside about 50 short reviews posted in one batch about 2 years ago, and a cluster of 8 reviews with the same sentence pattern from about 9 months ago, as likely bulk postings. A review under the same name as the F&B manager was also excluded. The link to the Cat Ba Paradise hotel rests on the hotel's own website, catbaparadisehotel.com: it gives No. 231 on 1-4 Street and a 17th-floor Sky Bar open 7:00–22:30, but does not mention the café by name. It also rests on the signatures in the owner's replies to reviews on Maps. The 'NGUYÊN CHẤT COFFEE – TEA' sign and the chalkboard advertising the 17th-floor bar are visible in a storefront photo from April 2026. Food prices and opening hours are not shown. Food prices appear only in a photo menu from August 2024, more than 24 months old. For hours, Maps (06:00–23:00) and the hotel website disagree, and no source says which hours belong to the ground-floor café. The 8% service charge and 3% card fee were reported by only two guests about 1 year ago; the current policy has not been verified. The 'moderate' price level is based on the spending range guests reported on Google Maps (1–400,000đ per person, 13 reports, read 19 Oct 2026) and on the drinks menu.
