4.9 / 5.0(800 reviews)
This place serves INCREDIBLE food!! The pho, spring rolls, pancakes and dumplings were absolutely fantastic. Some of the best food we have had in Vietnam. I couldn't recommend it more- you need to go here!! Vietnamese Chicken Rice ✨ If you’re craving comfort food that hits the soul, look no further than this hidden gem. Their Vietnamese chicken rice is absolutely exceptional—simple, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chicken is tender and juicy, paired with fragrant jasmine rice that’s been subtly infused with chicken broth and aromatics. The side dipping sauce? A zesty, garlicky punch that brings it all together. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in honoring tradition while keeping the presentation clean and fresh. Service was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance made me feel like I was enjoying a home-cooked meal in Hoi an. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic Vietnamese flavors done right. Once in Hội An, you’ll quickly notice that most restaurants in the Old Town are packed and noisy — it’s all part of the waterfront bustle. But if you’re looking for a peaceful, delicious escape just a few steps away, I highly recommend this little gem tucked into a quiet side street. We went there for a dinner date, just the two of us, and I instantly regretted not discovering it earlier — I would have loved to bring the kids back for another meal. The food was hands-down the best we had in Hội An. Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavour, with fresh vegetables straight from the local organic farm — you can truly taste the difference. We also tried their mocktails, which were refreshing and perfectly balanced. Everything, from the starters to dessert, was consistently delicious, and the host was genuinely kind and attentive. We left happy, grateful, and already dreaming of a return visit next time we’re in Hội An.

This was by far the best food we have had in Vietnam so far! We’ve had the pancakes, the duck (really good!), the wontons, the papaya salad, the tofu with chilli and lemon grass and the fried springrolls and the calamari’s. Just a little too much for the four of us. Still the bill was only just over 1000000. The presentation of the food was really nice and the flavors also out of this world! E we will be back!

Found this resto via google recommendation as I was in the mood for fish this place came as 3rd. Came here today to try their dishes and it was indeed superb! Tasty food, wonderful ambiance & the price was reasonable. For your reference, photo were uploaded to see the before and after looks of the food presented to how we finished it 😆😀 Thank you. See you again ❤️🙏
