Seashell by Nu Eatery — Restaurant in Hội An

Absolutely delicious - so we dined here twice! Hidden down an alleyway is this gorgeous little restaurant. We arrived just before service but thankfully we were able to sit, relax and order some drinks while we waited and the staff even set up a fan to help with the heat. We ordered the Pork Buns, Fresh Tempura Shrimp Rolls and the Shrimp Burger with Roasted Potatoes to share. To choose a favourite dish here was so hard because it was all so delicious but the stand outs were the Pork Buns and the Shrimp Rolls (that peanut sauce!). The service too was outstanding, we had explained that we would be sharing the dishes so were pleasantly surprised when the burger arrived and it was already pre cut in two. On our last day our flight was delayed so we took it as a sign to revisit this restaurant for a last chance at this amazing food. We had the Sesame Chicken Buns this time with the Fresh Tempura Shrimp Rolls and the Chilli Lime Shrimp Garlic Baguette Toasts. Again we were blown away! We would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant - just make sure you go at the start of your time in Hoi An in case you want to...

HIDDEN GEM OF HOI AN! 💎

Stumbled across this small quaint high-street and found Seashell by Nu Eatery.

The restaurant is very small and you do sit quite close to other tables however that’s what makes it quirky. Service was great and speedy, and the waiters spoke English.

The food was unreal and was a really good twist on Vietnamese/Western. The consistency of great presentation and flavours was lovely and we could believe the price of the dishes. Our overall bill after drinks and 5 courses 284,000k = £9 each!

Pork Bao Buns (10/10), Prawn Fresh Rolls with yummy peanut sauce (10/10), Cauliflower Soup (8/10), Pulled Pork Burgers (11/10) and to finish Cheesecake (10/10)!

The kitchen was a military operation and absolutely clean and organised, we knew this as you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the toilet 😂 again this is the quirkiness of the place.

Would highly recommend to anyone...

Vietnamese ingredients with a twist. This one of our favorites for something a little special but not too expensive. It's a sister restaurant by Nu Eatery with some similar dishes on the menu. We recommend ordering "small plates" style from the starters and "salads" so you can try a few different things. Expect about 55k for appetizers, 75k for salads. Amazing avocado sweet potato salad, warm broccoli and pork crisps salad, catfish wrap (like a mini fish taco - perfectly cooked and flavorful), and more. Really delicious flavor and texture combos. Menu does change on occasion.
