  We spent 3 days in Hoi An and had dinner here 3 nights in a row! Says it all really! Charming restaurant next to the river with outside seating and inside too. Service was excellent every night and the food was even better! We thought the food was tasty, fresh and it was quick to arrive. The staff were really friendly and had a great atmosphere. Can't go wrong, highly recommended!

  Hidden gem in Hoi An, ambiance is perfect, authentic food served hot and soooo delicious. Generous in serving and budget-friendly. Also the staff are fast, polite and speaks english. Ate with my girlfriends, we had a blast lunch.

  We were a party of 6. The service was fast and efficient, the ambiance next to the river exquisite, and the food was extremely fresh and flavorsome. Portion sizes are generous. I ordered the fried Red Snapper as a mains dish, and it was cooked to perfection. The drinks are reasonably priced, and due to the 12 years bar experience, the owner knows how to prepare great cocktails. Overall a great dining experience, we will definitely go back when in the area again.

  We had a wonderful meal at The Boat Riverside Restaurant at Hoi An. The food prepared was tasty, non-oily, light and fresh. The river view made eating there even more enjoyable. Will recommend this place to anyone going to Hoi An, Da nang.

  I highly recommend this wonderful family cafe! We were lucky that it happened to be near our hotel. The place is very cozy and beautiful. The local fish was divine. For dessert, I had a pancake — it turned out to be the most tender, with mango and coconut ice cream. The hot black coffee was excellent. Thank you to the attentive host for the hospitality.

  By far the best food both my partner and I have eaten in Vietnam, and we’ve been living here for 1 year. Highly recommend the Beef & Lemongrass in Banana Beetle Leaf, the Spring Rolls and the Spaghetti & Carbonara. Not only that, the service and conversation with the owner Thanh was incredible. The best experience we could have hoped for during our stay in Hoi An, so much so we went back 2 more times!!

  Had dinner by the river of Hoi An. Place was pretty, and decor was quite exquisite. Ordered a host of dishes i.e. laure beer, pork cashew nut, Grilled chicken banana leaf, Steam fish cobra, sweet n sour Tofu, banana Pancake, grilled shrimp, stir fried bak choy and Coconut coffee. The food were all not too bad. Service was quite good as well, the nice people waiting on us make it a point to make small talk. For those who like an outdoor experience, alfresco dining just right by the river is available. Only thing was the servings per dish was rather small. That's why we had to order a fair bit for 4 people. Bill came up to 900,000vnd. Thought it was a little on the high side. For the ambience, can try this place. But for authentic n less pricey VN food, there are lots of other choices around the river.
