  Set a few mins walk away from the Old Town, this place should be on your must-visit list in Hoi An. I believe they’re recognised by the Michelin Guide or at least the one in Da Nang is. Regardless, the menu is the same. The food is also halal which makes it easy for Muslim travellers. I came here twice and had the fried beef spring rolls and fried noodle salad soup each time - both times it was delicious and I wish I had time to eat a third round. Watermelon juice is refreshing and not too sweet. I was served each time by two young girls who might be sisters, not sure. I didn’t manage to get their names but if the owner sees this, please give them a raise! They were friendly, accommodating and took the time to use google translate whenever we didn’t understand each other. If I had to eat at only one place in Hoi An, this would be it!

  We came here twice and had their Fresh Spring rolls, Seafood fried rice and Cho Lao (Hoi An Speciality)! Must try. The Fresh spring rolls were fresh with a delicious spicy dipping sauce. The prawns were generous and the spring rolls were good sizes. Cho Lao is a Hoi An Speciality which has slices of sauteed beef with Udon like noodles and salad which you had to mix well and eat. The sauce coated the noodles nicely and the beef was tender and delicious. Seafood fried rice was ok, the wok hei was great however the rice was quite gard and the seafood too little . Overall the food was really delicious which is why we came back twice. However the waiting time for food is slightly long. We waited for 20-30mins for our food.

  Really good Pho! The lemonade was great too. Staff were friendly and helped recommend the dish. Reaffirmed that it was halal too. Definitely going back to try the Banh Mi.

  As a total novice to Vietnamese food, this was a great an introduction you could ever wish for! The flavours and freshness of the ingredients were exceptional!! The service was excellent and Tran our waitress explain how to eat each meal. Every course was delicious, I couldn't pick a favourite. The fact it is halal is an extra bonus, thank you!

  Top tier place. This is the one place in Hoi An that does halal vietnamese food rather than Indian food. Staff are super nice and helpful. Service is a liiittttttle bit slower than other restaurants but it makes up for it in taste. I came here 3 days straight and tried majority of the menue. EVERYTHING I ate was delicious. Thank you for keeping me happy and full 🫶🏽🤗

  Was in the mood for some Beef Pho, however didn’t want to take any chances receiving pho with pork broth, so I decided on this Halal friendly restaurant called Thìa Gô. We ended up getting the Bo tai chin, medium rare beef Pho noodles. It came out 12 minutes after we ordered steaming hot, with fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime (Don’t forget to clean your chopsticks with lime!) The flavor was there the texture was there only thing that would’ve made it better was a little more beef slices inside would’ve been nice. However the atmosphere was very calm, and overall great vibes. Solid Halal spot for some beef pho.

  Was looking to have a Bun Bo Xao in town so I selected this place that has amazing reviews. I felt a bit let down by the actual Bun Bo as I had much better ones but it was still ok. As the reviews are so good, I will definitely give the place another try for other dishes. Staff and service are very nice but I felt the place was quite noisy because of the busy road and it still looked like a quiet night.

  Food was decent for the price. Service is a bit slow. Staff are quite hospitable. They run out of ingredients for some of the dishes, so if you want to ensure access to their full menu it's better to go early in the day. Fried rice was a bit bland to taste. Spring rolls were nice. Coffee was a bit sweet even after requesting for no sugar.
