Quán Xanh — Restaurant in Hội An

A very authentic vietnamese eatery for locals. This was recommended by our vietnamese tailor. I must warn you that if you go during prime dinner hours the volume of chatter is deafening. However he food in general is very good and reasonably priced. The steamed clams in lemon grass was an undisputed winner. It actually ws more of a Soup but it was heavenly.

Unfortunately it was a thin cut steak so was bony and not really much flesh for consumption. Beers are. Heap grocery store prices.

Our bill came to 510 vietnamese dollars. Or $30 Cdn or $22 is dollars. The tables are sticky and so are the menus. But I’d say definitely worth a try especially for the clams alone !!! In fairness we didn’t have the advantage of going with a local so could not determine the...

This is where the locals eat and where you can really experience the true local stuff, so highly recommend for curious tourists. Great value for money too. Thankfully, they also have an English menu. It is really difficult to get the staff’s attention and they don’t really acknowledge if they heard you - but they were incredibly busy..

5 stars for atmosphere because it was a local authentic experience.

Roast pork and calamari were the favorites. They had a specialty grilled catfish with local spices which I reckon might be an acquired taste. Definitely worth a try because it was tasty even though it didn’t look...
