The alley stays small. The night opens up.
Why OISHITOWN, why now
Oishi Town packs around 20 independent coffee shops, ramen bars, izakayas and boutiques into one walkable courtyard cluster at 28 Thao Dien Street. No chains dominate the footprint, so you get a genuine day-and-night pairing in one tight indie enclave.
1. ROLL Temaki Sushi
- 28 Thảo Điền, An Khánh, Hồ Chí Minh
- 4.7 · 276 reviews · Brunch
ROLL opens the course because brunch here sets the appetite without overloading it. The counter-style setup and the open kitchen keep the pace quick, which matters when you're planning to stay in the same alley complex all day. It's the kind of stop that clears the morning without making you too full to move.
Crew's note
The string lights know you came in fast. Sit.

2. Afterglow Sky Bar
- Lầu 6, 43A - 43B Xuân Thủy, An Khánh, Hồ Chí Minh
- 4.5 · 329 reviews · Rooftop Bar
Afterglow closes the route because the rooftop perspective shifts everything after a day at eye level. The skyline view and the shisha option stretch the evening past the point where you'd normally leave. Ending here means the night decides when you're done, not the clock.
Crew's note
The stools are empty. Pick one before the night decides.
What visitors say
Loved the vibe here. Stunning view of Landmark 81, good cocktails and a relaxing rooftop atmosphere.
Fun place Great view Staff service was good, all speak English well
The walk between
The walk between them barely qualifies as a walk. You're moving through the same courtyard cluster, past the other izakayas and coffee shops that fill the complex, so the route feels more like switching rooms than changing neighborhoods.
- Come to ROLL early if you want a counter seat. The open kitchen setup means limited seating, and the lunch menu draws a steady crowd.
- Afterglow works best at sunset or later. The view peaks when the skyline lights come on, and the rooftop vibe doesn't really settle until after dark.
FAQ
- Does the course work if I skip one stop?
- It works, but the pairing is the point. The compact footprint means you're not committing to a long travel day, just two stops in the same alley, so skipping one cuts the logic in half.
- Is Afterglow a reservation spot or can I walk in?
- The reviews suggest walk-ins work most nights, though sofa seating can fill up when it's hot inside. If you're set on a specific table, arriving before peak hours gives you more choice.
