Great Place with lovely decor and nice to know theirs a halal Vietnamese place in the area. good food too. seems like a nice quiet place just off brick lane and they’re not like the other local restaurants who beg for custom. keep it up HOI!!
Went with the husband and had a lovely time. the service and most importantly the food was amazing. highly recommend this place also one thing that i loved the most was the free appetizers and the free oranges at the end. TOP STUFF!!
I normally use Kingsland Rd for Vietnamese because it’s closer to where I live. However, tonight I was ordering in using the dinein website so gave Hoi An a try.My standard takeaway order is stir fried seafood kway teoh, a veg dish, and if that doesn’t reach the minimum order for the dinein service, I get a small starter. My stir fried rice noodles with seafood was pretty bland. Could have done with more seasoning and some garlic. Seafood consisted of a generous portion large prawns, squid and scallops. These were all well cooked and the squid was quite tender. My side of stir fried asparagus was a little overcooked, rather too liquid for my taste, and exceptionally bland as well. The spring rolls were quite good, but didn’t come with the salad and herbs often used to wrap them in before dipping in nuoc cham.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over two years since I visited Vietnam, but on of the things that I do remember is how easy we had it, food wise. I’m not that much of a fussy eater but with that ingrained preconception of far east food those of us who are Muslim or Pakistani (or both) have, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the cuisine we came across during our tour.Which makes me wonder why it’s taken so long to find Hoi An, a halal Vietnamese joint right here on my front step. Now if I’m totally honest I can’t really make any claims to the authenticity of the place – I’m far from discerning enough to specify that – but the food tonight was just as good and enjoyable as I remember it being. I stuck to the relatively simple prawn pancake and chicken curry dishes, and they were both sublime in their simplicity.If there was one complaint it was that of the price: 20 quid a head put today’s food miles away from what we had in Vietnam as part of the fun of eating there was the embarrassingly low cost to eat. I guess it was cheaper than a plane ticket, but I can’t help but feel it could have been more appropriately priced given the experience. Still, I would go back and I suppose in that sense Hoi An is recommended.
