Unfortunately my husband and I didn't come across this place until our last night in Hoi An otherwise we would have been frequent customers. The restaurant was empty but we liked that it only has vietnamese choices on the menu and the prices were very reasonable so gave it a go - so glad we did, unlike MelWG our fresh... More

We stopped by this place after missing the shuttle from our hotel. It was empty but we decided to give it a go. Food was very tasty, try the White Rose, light and fresh. We also for a complimentary dessert which was a nice touch. Staff attentive and friendly. Would say give it a try.

Husband and I stopped here to use our computers with the wifi and have some drinks. The place was empty (late morning/early afternoon). The service was excellent. They were very friendly and attentive. The fresh spring rolls were average. The white rose dumplings were not as fresh as Faifoo. The liquor options are priced very cheaply (25-40,000 VND for midshelf... More

I and two friends spent a wonderful afternoon learning to cook Vietnamese food here. The course is well-organised and good value, you're taught by a genuine master, and getting to eat the food at the end is worth the price alone. I can recommend the Banh Xeo, Pho and Canh Cua Cha, as well as the deep-fried wontons - this... More

Food was so bad, had to send one dish back, we just couldn't chew through the port, had it replaced by a noodle dish that was bland and basically inedible. Read previous reviews, can't understand what people raved about, couldn't have had a worse meal.

We stopped by here as it was right next to our hotel. We'd walk past and it would be empty and we felt kind of sorry for them. Having looked it up on tripadvisor and saw it had good ratings we decided to give it a punt and we were greatly rewarded for it. The staff were very attentive, polite... More

I paid USD16 for the basic cooking course. It was just me and started at 11am. We prepared two starters and two main courses (I was able to pick from about 10 different starters and 10 different mains). The staff were very friendly - had the chef, another waitress who helped with photos and one more. However, the chef did... More

My boyfriend and I did a cooking class here in July. It was well worth the money we paid! We were taken on a tour through the markets to buy the fresh produce for our class. During our tour we got to try different fruits and a three bean drink which was amazing! The class was fun and we were... More

Husband and I stopped in for lunch on a rainy afternoon. The restaurant was pretty empty, but we sat outside and decided to go for it. Our fried spring rolls were fantastic...filled with tasty shrimp, pork, mushroom, and carrot. The dipping sauce was perfect, too. I had the pan-fried chicken with pineapple sauce, and my husband had the shrimp/pork clay... More

If you're looking for a laidback cooking class/demonstration, look no further. For $15, you get to pick 2 dishes from a huge list so you get to make exactly what you want (and aren't stuck making spring rolls). The chef and instructors are talented and helpful and speak wonderful english. You can tell they really love teaching others about Vietnamese... More
