Hoi An Sense - Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Hoi A Sense is an excellent fine-dining spot located on the 6th-floor rooftop of Opus Saigon in District 1, offering easy access and a peaceful escape from the bustling city.

I tried the Miến Xào Cua Nồi Đất (Wok Fried Vermicelli with Crab Meat in Clay Pot), priced at VND339,000, and it was delicious—full of flavor and beautifully presented.

The dishes sent out were slow and even took a while between each dish. It turned out I finished the 3 dishes I ordered before the children had even received their plate of stir-fried noodles. I complained about this saying most of the table have not had their main courses yet. They said the kitchen was busy but it was a Wednesday and the restaurant appeared to have several tables vacant.
