the setting: very pleasant, a fairly French, slightly Provençal atmosphere Service: attentive, fast and efficient staff The dishes: the title modern Vietnamese cuisine is appropriate. Traditional cuisine with modernity in presentation. Prices are around €10 per main course (more for seafood) but this is not nothing in the region but remains reasonable considering the services. They have a wine cellar but of course the wine prices in the region are not very competitive, so even if it means being in Asia, it might be better to do without it. The cocktails are quite decent.

Just lovely! They welcomed us with a nip of passion fruit juice, followed by a little homemade kimchi. We loved the clay pot fish and the pleasant, plant lined terrace with a pretty view of the river. If you visit Hoi An’s old town, do find Secret Oasis by the river.

Absolutely the best restaurant we tried in Vietnam Delicious cuisine, the highest quality ingredients, noodls and all handmade dishes (which is not obvious), beautiful and well-cleaned location .. 10 minutes walk from the chaos of the city but worth the small and pleasant walk. Courteous, considerate and helpful staff, they recommended the dishes of typical Vietnamese cuisine impeccably Count even too honest compared to what they offer, has nothing to envy to a good Italian restaurant. Consigliatissimo!! (I only posted the sweets in the picture because the rest was so beautiful and good that we didn't have time to capture it)

We went to the secret garden on a recommendation of our tour guide who had looked after us and had previously recommended places we really enjoyed. We were sat down quickly but no one came to take our order for 15 minutes. The cocktails were weak and not particularly well made. The starters were very good but took 45 minutes to arrive which is the longest we have ever waited in Vietnam . My daughter’s lemongrass chicken was served on the bone but was red raw inside, which she only found out after taking a bite. Duck noodles had hardly any duck as well. We complained and to be fair the restaurant did not make us pay for the food we didn’t like or the drinks we ordered. That said the bill was the same as we have paid at other restaurants for four meals. This is over priced and not good quality. Avoid

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had during your visit. It is never our intention to let our guests down, and we are sorry to hear about the delays in service and the quality of the food you received. We appreciate your compliments on the starters, but we are deeply concerned about the issues with the lemongrass chicken and duck noodles. Your comments regarding the undercooked chicken and the lack of duck in the noodles are being taken seriously, and we will address these concerns with our kitchen team to ensure that this does not happen again. While we are glad that we could accommodate your concerns by not charging you for the items you did not enjoy, we understand that this does not make up for the overall experience. We strive to provide high-quality food and service, and it is clear we fell short during your visit. We genuinely value your feedback and hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future. Please feel free to reach out directly if you decide to visit again; we would love the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience we are known for.

The quality of food was outstanding, the beef perfectly medium cooked, the fish excellent with its sauce. Our hostess was charming and took time to discuss, the restaurant is decorated with taste and during lunch time tranquility is assured on the lovely terrace with river view. We had a wonderful moment and would highly recommend this restaurant.

The Secret Garden is a real gem! The food is simply excellent, and the staff are attentive to your every need. Located by the river, this restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the lantern boats, adding a magical touch to the experience. We ate a chicken rice and seafood coconut rice, both tasty and beautifully presented. For a successful evening, don't hesitate for a second: head to Secret Garden!

Last dinner before leaving Vietnam, the best one I had on the whole trip. We dine outside on the banks of the river, in silence. The staff is very courteous but the real specialty is the cuisine, divine. We took fresh pork rolls, White Rose ravioli with prawn and pork and the typical Hoi An dish, Cao lầu, a soup with rice noodles and pork, the best I ate during the whole trip, Spectacular! All the dough, including the noodles, is homemade. To finish we had a dessert, the mangomisu, which was exceptional. A 5-star cuisine with a reasonable price Reach for everyone. Don't miss this opportunity Greetings

This is a quiet little restaurant down a side street away from the hustle and bustle but it also fronts on to the river so there is a great view of passing boats. The food was wonderful - all very fresh and tasty local dishes. The service was similarly outstanding - including a small welcome drink and kimchi as an ‘amuse bouche’. Thank you for a lovely dinner!

We had such a lovely dinner at The Secret Oasis in Hoi An. The service by Phuong, Vui and Huong was first class and they were really happy and attentive. We loved trying the white rose dumplings and Cao Lau noodles were delicious. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing dinner in a beautiful setting in Hoi An on the riverfront. The cocktails were superb!

A riverside restaurant in a calm location a little off the center of Hoi An. The staff was very courteous in their service and the restaurant was full of cleanliness. I ordered khaolau, fresh spring rolls, white rose and banana cake with drinks. All the dishes were very good and cost-effective, especially Khaolau, which I ate many times since I came to Vietnam, but this restaurant was the best. It's a wonderful place where you can relax and enjoy the view along the river, so it's a Recommendation for those who want to feel Hoi An, which is different from the buzz of the centre.

川沿いの素晴らしいレストラン ホイアンの中心から少し外れた落ち着いた場所にある川沿いのレストラン。店員の接客も丁寧で、清潔感溢れる店内でした。 注文したのは、カオラウ、生春巻き、ホワイトローズ、バナナのケーキにドリンク。 どの料理もコスパが良くてとても美味しく、特にカオラウはベトナムに来てから何度も食べましたが、ここのお店が1番美味しかったです。 川沿いを眺めながらゆったりとした時間が流れる素晴らしい場所なので、中心地のガヤガヤ感とは違うホイアンを感じたい人にはおすすめです。

We are so glad The Secret Garden was recommended to us. We spent two lovely evenings here, eating delcious food by the side of the river, under fairy lights and lanterns, on tables set with linen tablecloths and beautifully folded napkins. The service is friendly, professional and efficient. The menu is varied and contains detailed descriptions of each dish, which i found helpful to manage my shellfish allergy. The food arrived promptly and for both meals was beautifully presented, plentiful and tasty. A wonderful place to eat on the edge of the old town in Hoi An.

The Secret Oasis in Hội An is a hidden gem offering a truly charming dining experience. The restaurant has tow garden areas at the back, where you can sit and enjoy the view of the river with boats gently passing by. The greenery surrounding the space provides a refreshing, cool atmosphere—perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff speaks excellent English, and they are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. The food is absolutely delicious, with a variety of flavors that reflect both local and international influences. One dish you must try is the Duck with Apple Sauce, which is uniquely prepared and offers a perfect balance of flavors. What makes the experience even better is the 30% discount during the daily happy hour, making it an even more worthwhile visit!
