Vietnamese Chopsticks - Dua Viet Restaurant — Restaurant in Hội An

I just dined at Vietnamese Chopsticks in Hoi An and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the ambiance.

I started with Ram Chien Heo (fried pork spring rolls), which were an absolute highlight. The rolls were intricately wrapped in a delicate, thin layer of rice paper noodles that crisped up beautifully when fried. They were exceptionally crispy and hands down the best fried spring rolls I've ever had in Vietnam—truly a must-try!

For the main course, I ordered Chicken cooked in lemongrass and spices in a clay pot, paired with fresh beer. The dish was flavorful, aromatic, and satisfying, though it leaned a bit on the salty side. Nevertheless, the tart and vibrant lemongrass notes balanced it out, making it an enjoyable experience overall.

To finish, I had the flan, which was the perfect dessert. The texture was smooth, and the egg flavor was subtle—unlike many other flans I've tried in Vietnam, where the egg taste can be overpowering. It was delightful and a fitting end to the meal.

The restaurant itself is simple yet charming, with a modern yet quintessentially Hoi An vibe. The interior is clean and tidy, with lovely hanging lanterns that add a touch of elegance to the space. It’s a wonderful spot for those looking to enjoy high-quality Vietnamese dishes in a serene setting.

Highly recommended for anyone...

On our way back to the Vignette Collection hotel after the Hoi An Memories show last night, my teenage son was feeling hungry. Just about 100 yards from our hotel, I spotted a small restaurant called Vietnamese Chopsticks. He ordered the shrimp fried rice and really enjoyed it.

We liked it so much that we came back again for lunch today. We ordered the clay pot fish, grilled lemongrass shrimp and squid wrapped in banana leaves and stir-fried garlic water spinach. Everything was flavorful without being greasy, and we noticed they also have a decent selection of vegetarian options.

This little gem is easy to miss—just a small, simple, and clean hole-in-the-wall—but the food is surprisingly good. Definitely worth a stop if...

Fantastic food and very reasonable (cheap for what it is). We ate here twice in the beginning of March 23. They had some challenges with (front of house?) staff being less experienced, though they were polite and really service minded. We were notified that food would take a while - it was so worth it, though. It was some of the best food we ate throughout our 6 week trip. The chef is incredibly talented! The bánh xèo is amongst the best I have eaten; the spicing of the pork was perfect, the pancake "just right", the wontons with pork were a perfect combination of crispy and velvety sweet and sour pork. The beef rolls in betel leaf were a joy. One of those restaurants that you...
