We ate at this restaurant twice during our last visit 2 years ago. It is still as good as ever. Nice setting with both inside and outside seating. Meals were served efficiently by a friendly waitress. Good selection of food and drinks and well priced. My fish in lemon grass and ginger was excellent. My wife had stir fried prawns... More

Dear Mr Jeff, How lovely to hear that Lantern Town has always been your choice for the past couple of years. We appreciated your comment on the consistancy of our service and food quality.

Delicious and well presented food, in large portions, at a reasonable price. Beautifully decorated courtyard inside what appears to be an aged, rustic building, with ambient music playing in the background to candlelight - French Colonial, Latin and Cuban style atmosphere. Dinner with alcoholic drinks under £20 and traditional Vietnamese food, healthy and tasty. Well worth a visit, but don't... More

We found this restaurant via a write up in Lonely Planet magazine about Vietnam. We had the set tasting menu which was fabulous and even went back a second time with friends we had made on our trip and they loved it too. The food, service and ambience is excellent and I would certainly go there again if I am... More

The restaurant overlooks the river in a huge, beautifully presented old terrace with options for indoor, courtyard or terrace seating. We went first for lunch, then came back again the day after for drinks, lured by the two for one happy hour (3pm to 7pm?) The food here was delicious, authentic with good portons. The staff were friendly and accommodating... More

Loved the outdoor courtyard for pre dinner drinks and then the upstairs outdoor terrace for dining by sunset. Food is fantastic with fish in banana leaf a local favourite. Whilst not as well known as Morning Glory (just down the road) we found it to be above our expectations and had a great ambience.

My wife and I found this very clean restaurant and decided to have a meal upstairs overlooking the river. Our waiter- Hoa was very professional and friendly and spoke good English. We shared spring rolls which were 'the tasting plate' and they were so light and tasty, I then had stuffed squid and my wife had the chicken in banana... More

After many hours on your feet wandering around Hoi An ancient town, this little restaurant is perfect to sit quietly and reflect on your day! On the banks of the river, it has a neat little garden seating area, with more seating available inside - you can walk through to the street running parallele behind. The food was delicious and...
