5. Real Reviews
“Stumbled upon this gem while casually strolling the breezy streets of Hoi An and instantly loved the vibe. The restaurant has open seating, covered and and open and adorns a rustic charm with wooden furnishings and lanterns. The host is a cheerful gentleman who loves to chat, who would also reccomend you the best items from the menu as per your preference.
We started with vietnemese coffee (cold brew) and White Rose Cake (dumplings) with shimp pork toppings, Chef’s Special Noodles, Eggplant in a Pot and Pineapple Flambe.
My personal favourite was the eggplant in a pot — soft, savoury, adequatly seasoned with onions and sesame and chill. Each bite was a mouthfull of delicious flavours. It comes paried with sticky rice which also acts as a palette cleanser to savour the main dish with every new bite. Must try.
The host even offered us complimentary watermelon to beat the heat.
In short, good food, good vibe.”
“Excellent food and atmosphere! We got the Banh Xeo, Firefly pizza, and Hoi An Spring Rolls. They were all delicious. The owner, Cuong, was very polite and catered to our needs. His English is very good. If you’re in Hoi An and in the area, definitely check this place out! Free WiFi. The music was exactly what I’d listen to back home (Canada). It was a nice touch. 👌”
“Local gem, absolutely delicious food and such great service. It was a slow night, so we got Cuong’s undivided attention. We had great conversations about local food, places to visit and his inspiration for the Vietnamese-Western fusion menu. We got the Firefly pizza, Hoi An spring rolls and crispy pancake (Ban-Xeo) and everything was devoured before I could take any pictures. Definitely recommend coming here especially if you are staying at the Shining Riverside Hotel.”
“We had dinner and we loved the place, the food was delicious, the cocktail and the juice too. The atmosphere is cozy and Kong very friendly. 100% recommended if you are in Hoi an”
“Absolute must! We came here after checking into a villa nearby. Cuong the owner was 10/10 customer service, cocktails and food. We had the dragonfruit mohito (pardon the photo I drank half before snapping), pina colada and mango daiquiris for drinks and the traditional pancake, beef noodles and chicken skewers to share. It was the perfect amount and every dish was delicious. A former guide he was also kind enough to help us with planning our stay so we got the best experiences – no pressure at all just kindness – we were the ones that asked him for recommendations! 😆 can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu”
“Near to our accomodation, so we decided we need to try! And it is worth it. We even came back. Food was tastefull, delicious, quickly prepared. Also the staff was nice. The prices normal. Best Bahn Xeo in vietnam! Also Hoi An fried rolls were really good. I also tried the local nudeln dish Cao Lau and was really, really god! Vegetarians also will be satisfied, my girlfriend approves! “
“Fantastic food and Cuohj (Kong – owners son) was fantastic. His mum cooks up a storm with fresh local ingredients. My wife had the Mushroom tofu bahn mi which was delicious, I had red snapper in clay pot SUPURBLY FRESH plus other vege stuff. The rose dumplings to start excellent. Reviews are correct, make the effort!”
“Great food with great portion we loved everything we ate fish and chips and singapore nodels and Prawns fry was best 😍😍😍😍 do visit this beautiful cafe”
“The chefs noodles are the best noodles we’ve had in Vietnam. The red snapper fish and chips were also very good. Cong, the owner, was our server and he is a very kind person”
“Had the nasi goreng, banana leaf fish, sweet and sour pork and a couple of cocktails. All of the food was amazing and so delicious. Friendly service. Great portion sizes and prices compared to other places.”
“It’s delicious. I came during the day, and the spring rolls and banh xeo were delicious🥹🥹 It was refreshing to eat it with beer and dragon mojito, and they also give you ice. But it’s a little hot because it’s outdoors, so I recommend coming in the evening!”
