We had lunch here and were most impressed by the excellent Vietnamese food and the service. As a bonus we were able to sit a few metres from the river in a peaceful part of Hoi An. Quite an oasis! The prices were on the high side but given what you get for your money its worth the extra. Recommended! More

I have been coming back to the Old Dao Tien Restaurant for years, as the food and service are always brilliant. Dao Tien has opened a new restaurant right on the river, next to Brother Cafe, just behind the old Dao Tien in Phan Boi Chau st. We sat in the garden catching the breezes, there aren't many places in... More

There is a small dinning room on the street and a much larger outdoor terrace and two levels overlooking the river - both have the same menu. We opted for the river view which was perfect. The menu features local Hoi An dishes. Everything we enjoyed was excellent. The 'Money Bags' are outstanding. Service was attentive and professional without being... More

Went here our last night in Hoi An. People from our group had been there the night before and had recommended. Don't normally bother with starters, but made an exception on this occasion. Both the 'white roses' and 'money bags' were excellent. Mains equally good, but it's been a few weeks now and their names escape me. Service and atmosphere... More

We stumbled upon this restaurant and ended up taking our whole tour group back the next night. The owner/host is the most amazing woman..... Her story is very humbling and we are in awe of her and her husband for the amazing work they do with the poor youth of vietnam. Not to mention that the food is without a... More

Had a great morning at the cooking school with Viet. Went to the market first, which was a more interesting experience together with a local chef explaining the food, the sauces and the cooking imolements. Then a boat ride to his new riverside restuarant. (Dao Tien River Restuarant). There we had an interesting cooking class/demonstration. A lot of the prep... More

We had dinner at Dao Tien on our last night in Hoi An and found the service and setting to be great. Some of the meals we ordered were a bit cold, but as soon as we asked the staff to reheat them, the manager came out to profusely apologise, and returned them straight away at the right temperature. Apart... More

Can't speak highly enough about this place and really can't understand about other reviews that said it was expensive. FOr two of us, including soft drinks, starters, mains and desserts it cost about AUS$24. As for blah food - ours was really nice and tasty. We went back again for lunch and just had starters - loved the Vietnamese rice... More
