Atmosphere and food are exquisite. I was surprisingly surprised. Completely did not expect this level of service and quality of food. Absolutely amaizing. Would recommend this place any day.

We got there early and had a table just back from the river. staff were attentive and prompt. Ordered fresh spring rolls which were the best we have had in Hoian, fish cooked in banana leaf , also very delicious and deboned at our table...and bok choy. Could not fault the meal. Individual ingredients could be tasted in each dish. This restaurant was one of our highlights when in Hoian 12 years ago (in a different location) and we were just as pleased with our visit this time. We will be back before we leave.More

Lovely restaurant on the waterfront with great food. They are happy to accommodate changes to the menu such as changing some dishes to make them vegetarian friendly or making them not so spicy. Prices are a little higher than some of the other restaurants in...town but still provide very good value.More

Absolute hidden gem on the riverfront in Hoi An. Slightly more high end but still not expensive. We paid roughly £15 for recommended Hoi An dishes and drinks. Well worth a visit if you are here. You may have to book in high season as...very popular xMore

I read your response to my review. I find it sarcastic and rude, and I am shocked to see that a business can speak to it's customers in this way. The response seems to imply that this is not the first time I have visited and reviewed the restaurant; "you again Chris". I assure you that I and my "little Vietnamese girlfriend' have never been to your restaurant before. (We live in the south of Vietnam.) We stumbled on your restaurant by accident. The prices I am comparing are those which I am used to paying, and the opinion about the taste of the prawns was that of my girlfriend. Although I will now definitely tell people not to come to your restaurant, I want to know why you think it is appropriate to send a rude and sarcastic response to a customer who gave a truthful and objective opinion about your establishment.
