Tiệm Chè Xíu is a tiny, authentic dessert shop just a short walk from Hoi An’s city center—easy to find, and absolutely worth the visit if you’re curious about traditional Vietnamese sweets.
The place is humble, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and a casual, street-style atmosphere. Don’t expect English menus or staff that speak much English—this is as local as it gets. The best trick? Snap a photo of what you want and show it to them. They’re friendly and will happily serve you with a smile.
The menu is strictly Vietnamese chè—sweet soups and desserts with coconut, beans, jelly, fruits, sticky rice, and more. It’s vertically focused, so don’t expect anything else, but trust me, it’s more than enough. Everything I tried was delicious. Sure, the presentation isn’t Instagram-perfect, but the flavors make up for it tenfold.
The standout for me was the coconut bowl: cold, refreshing, creamy, and topped with crunchy peanuts. It’s the kind of dessert that hits just right in the Hoi An heat.
And the best part? It’s incredibly cheap. You can taste multiple dishes without spending more...
Read moreWe came here based on a recommendation from one of the locals who worked in a restaurant we visited the previous night. You know it’s good when this place is frequented by locals and she was right!
The Madagascar coconut ice cream is definitely worth coming for. We were worried it would be too much judging by the photos online but portions are smaller in person. We loved that it was served with fresh coconut and the longan jam is very unique!
We also got the house special dessert which came with coconut milk, a mix of jelly, palm fruit, chewy sweet potato and taro flavoured rice balls. It’s not as sweet as other dessert spots - which may be a good thing for some.
I did not give full stars as the service was lacking. We must have caught the staff on a bad day as they didn’t say a word to us when we ordered nor made eye contact or smiled. Which is not reflective of the great hospitality we’ve experienced from the Vietnamese...
Read moreWe have been coming here everynight since we found this spot. My sister is the one with the sweet tooth and found this place. I dont always like asian desserts because they are not like traditional cakes or cookies. These are more like cold coconut milk soups with various toppings like boba, tofu pudding, jellies, snd these yummy chewy taro type of things. The coconut ice cream is just ok, not enough coconut flavor and the coconut meat is hard to scoop out so after eating the ice cream i ask the staff to scrape it out for me or else id break a spoon before i get the coconut meat. I love the coconut milk desserts with the ice. The ice reduces the sweetness and makes the dish so refreshing. The tofu is soft and is flavorful. I had the egg custard tofu and coconut milk dishes each time. Super cheap yummy cool down snacks. They close at 10pm so...
