One-Way Mirrors and Questionable Practices
According to the post, the cafe is divided into two rooms: a black room for men and a white room for women. The setup supposedly allows the men to see the women through one-way mirrors, while the women believe they are looking into a regular mirror. This raised significant privacy concerns, particularly as the men’s seats are arranged to view the lower part of the women’s bodies.
“The arrangement means that women, acting naturally and unaware of the situation, could inadvertently expose sensitive areas,” the post claimed.

Additionally, the post highlighted that female customers receive free drinks and are not required to pay for the dating packages, unlike their male counterparts who must purchase packages ranging from one hour to three days.
The online community quickly reacted, with many calling for an official investigation to determine whether the cafe’s practices were infringing on women’s rights or potentially acting as a front for illicit activities.
Police Action and Initial Findings

Responding to the public outcry, the Ben Thanh Ward Police, along with other relevant units, inspected the cafe later that day. Upon arrival, they found the cafe empty of customers, with only the legal representative, Ms. H.T.A.D. (born in 2003, residing in District 12), a foreign national, and three employees present.
Located on the 7th floor of a building on Nguyen Trai Street, the cafe had advertisements in the elevator area. The inspection revealed that female customers receive complimentary drinks, while male customers must purchase service packages ranging from one hour to three days. The most expensive package costs 1 million VND and includes unlimited chats and mandatory drink purchases costing between 80,000 to 100,000 VND.

The inspection confirmed that the cafe is divided into two main rooms: one for men and one for women. The women’s room features high chairs and one-way mirrors, preventing them from seeing the men. In contrast, the men’s room has low chairs, allowing them to view the women through the mirrors.
Men interested in dating leave a sheet with their personal details, and the women can choose whom they want to “pair with.” If both parties agree, they can move to a private room for a chat.

Next Actions on the Case
Following the inspection, authorities documented their findings and invited the relevant individuals to the headquarters for further investigation. The outcome of this investigation will determine whether any laws were violated and what actions, if any, will be taken against the cafe.
This incident highlights the ongoing concerns about privacy and exploitation in the digital age, prompting discussions about the ethical implications of such business models.
