Off the beaten path, this place was a perfect lunch spot for us on the way cycling back from An Bang beach to Hoi An. The restaurant is on a small unpaved path by the water. It has a nice garden out front and a vegetable farm at the back. We had the secret drinks, bánh xèo (crispy pancakes from the Hoi An region), the mackerel in claypot, and the lemongrass calamari with salad. All food were cooked to order from scratch so it took a little while, but they are certainly worth the wait. The sticky sauces from the mackerel and calamari were so good that we had to asked for extra rice to finish them up; they gladly gave us more rice at no extra charge. The bill comes to $305K VND (about AUD19) - for the quality of the food, it's very reasonable. We were the only diners there when we got there around 2:30pm on a Friday. We had a great time spending time with two puppies and the little girl of the owner. The girl was so excited to show us the little fish in their ponds and the snails from their vegetable farm. It felt like we were dining at a friend's home in the countryside. The sustainably sourced fresh produce is a great plus of this place. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a relaxing Vietnamese meal away...
Read moreWe were highly recommended by our villa caretaker.
The restaurant was very quaint and quiet at the time but a perfect location with our family of six.
We ordered our beverages which were very cold and very receptive with the warm weather.
We ordered 2 x sweet & sour chickens, 2 x noodles with vegetables, BBQ chicken and special fried seafood.
The food was delicious! All the ingredients were fresh as we dipped in and out of each other's food. There was a sense of silence from time to time as we were overwhelmed with multiplying tastebuds. My sweet & sour was so scrumptious, I wanted more but was full up! Crazy!
Make no mistake, we have been in Vietnam for past two weeks and thought we had tasted the best to date but when each family member feedback scored ten with one at 9.5 (aged 11) then we were in the right place, at the right time. It was a no brainer for us all to agree to definitely come back here again for more.
I requested to meet with the chef and promptly shook his hand and complimented him on his night's work. Chef was a humble gentleman with many years of experience.
Please do not miss this opportunity to enjoy local cuisine at reasonable prices.
We have been blessed this...
Read moreA fellow USA friend, now living in Da Nang, recommended this restaurant when he knew we were visiting Hoi An. And what a great little hidden gem oasis for a meal!
We arrived late afternoon, where we found the entire outdoor patio to ourselves. We had a welcoming staff - all smiles - to introduce themselves and take our orders. The woman who initially served us was joyful and happy to provide menu insight.
The view and ambiance is breezy and beautiful among the rice fields. It’s so peaceful. The food is fresh fresh fresh! Vegetables come from the family garden adjacent to the establishment and we could see them preparing the food in the back window to the kitchen. Our fried rice dishes and spring rolls were crispy, hot, and divinely delicious.
One of the family members came out to chat with us for a bit and made us feel like guests in his own home.
We were so impressed and would recommend this place to anyone!
Thank you,...
