Song thanh Riverside Restaurant — Restaurant in Hội An

This is yet another one of the many typical riverside restaurants located next to Thu Bon River, just outside of Hoi An OldTown. They have tables both inside as well as shaded ones on the riverbank. The service here is cheerful friendly, and they provide a nice atmosphere, especially when sitting riverside (nice evening/night views). Their prices are quite reasonable and on parity with all the other local, riverside restaurants. The menu has a large and good selection of usual Vietnamese foods and local specialities, as well as Western choices.

Our time included scooter ride into market (which was way more interesting with a local), cooking and lots of eating and laughs. Was 500,000VND pp and worth every cent (and more). Nhi (our chef) was an absolute delight. Can’t recommend this...

Song Thanh Riversise Restaurant is conveniently situated along the Thu Bón River, about 10 minutes walk from Hoi An Old Town and has plenty of seating inside and outside. My family and I enjoyed lunch and dinner at the restaurant and loved the atmosphere with the friendly staff and the relaxed river location.

The food was amazing and was undoubtedly the best meals that we experienced in Hoi An.

We were lucky enough for the owner of the restaurant to organise a tour out to the Coconut Boats for us, and when we arrived back after the tour we were provided with an amazing...
