We booked the cooking class (Homestyle) at Secret Garden and wow. We were very happy with our visit. To begin with the setting is wonderful. An oasis in old town. We were met by our gracious host Vue (apologies if I have this wrong) and...taken to the market to select the ingredients for our cook up. This was very enlightening and as we are staying in Hoi An for quite a while it gave us an insight in what to select from the market. Indeed we are much more adventurous now and buy from the market to cook at home quite often. Back at the restaurant we went through the various dishes preparation. From making our own rice paper to wrapping, frying and chopping - a great experience. To then get to eat what we prepared (and so much of it) for our lunch was the culmination of our efforts. We are happy to say that we think we did quite well.More

Hidden down an alley away from the bustling streets of Old Town, we enjoyed a delicious dinner in this hidden oasis. The sounds of bubbling fountains and croaking frogs were a welcome respite from the constant "want boat ride?" along the river. Service was spot-on...and the food was fresh and tasty. Cocktails and juices were refreshing. Follow the signs for the Secret Garden in Old Town and you won't be disappointed.More

A beautiful restaurant hidden down an alleyway in Old Ancient Town. It is a really pretty setting with lovely gardens, flowing fountains and frogs croaking away from the hustle and bustle. The food and cocktails were delicious and very friendly staff. A little more expensive...but worth it for the beautiful ambience.More

This restaurant is definitely a secret, a good secret. You won't find it walking around. Upon arrival, the setting definitely matches the name..The food at Secret Garden was amazing - the tastes blew us away, we couldn't stop eating. The staff Ni, Ly & Huong...were so helpful and made the experience extra special. Definitely one to try in Hoi An.More

Secret Garden is a peaceful oasis. The surroundings were beautiful and the food and drinks were delicious. The fresh spring rolls were the best we had on our holiday in Vietnam! My husband is allergic to nuts, and the staff took extra care to reassure...us and make adaptations so that dishes were safe for him, which we were very grateful for. We would definitely recommend this spot.More

Lovely quiet spot with wonderful food. The atmosphere is amazing and we were very impressed with the choice and quality of food. We came here a few years and the staff were much more friendly, this time they were efficient but not at all friendly...unfortunately. Maybe they had a bad day. Overall well worth visiting and good value for money.More

Eat here for a delicious gourmet meal! I had the banana flower shredded duck salad and then the Hoi An Chicken Rice as a main course. Superb! Highly recommended. Follow signs down a secluded alley for this oasis of calm!

Very cozy athmosphere in the secret garden. Local food with a twist. Portions were a bit small compared to the price, however very fancy and delicious. Sweet and attentive staff. The food was served decoratively. Thank you, see you next time

Someone who knows food recommended this restaurant. We had actually passed it the night before as we wound our way around the lovely lanes of the old town. Even without being recommended the ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant was enough alone to draw you...in. Tables are placed around little pools of water and fans make this the prefect temperature to enjoy genuine hoi an (and other Vietnamese) specialty dishes. The staff who should be named make the dining experience a 5 star experience. Ni, Ly, Huong, Dung, and Vui are the most beautiful hosts and chefs. The most surprising thing of all is the price of the dishes. Easily affordable to come here more than once each day for as long as you stay in Hoi An. House wine is superb but you also have a choice of wines from around the world to choose from. Best wine list!More

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.
