As per most visitors before us we found the food to be excellent and very good VFM. However, we had a disaster ordering wine. Without telling us we had to wait an age for the wine because they went to the distributor to buy it, then wait an age to cool it only to find it was off! When we... More

Been here 3 days in a row cause it has been delicious. Went to a place on the beach last night and it didn't compare to here. The fried wontons, the green papaya salad, fish in chili and lemongrass are all delicious. You must come here.

White Sail Cafe has the best crispy won tons with super fresh topping ingredients. I had a piece of crispy fish that was cooked to perfection and just melted in my mouth. We went two times in the 5 days we were there and prices are very reasonable. Don't hesitate to drop by, I bet you will love it too.

We visited here on our last night in Hoi An and the food was very good! We went for the Crispy Pancakes to start and for main we had Tamarind Beef, Chicken with Chilli and Caramelised Prawns! Everything was very tasty! My only complaint was the chilli chicken could have been spicier but that's no big deal! We did have... More

Went to White Sail for dinner and had a variety of local dishes, which were all nice: the white rose dish and fried wonton dish as starters - especially the latter was excellent. Then as our mains we had the chicken with cashew nuts, and the stuffed squid: both were very nice but it was especially the squid that I... More

We were looking for a spot of lunch in between tailor fittings and found this place recommended in the Lonely Planet Guide. It took us some 25min to find (perhaps initially I was a little geographically embarrassed), and when we did find it we found it had moved premises a couple of blocks over. Incidentally, the address given above by... More

Its nice to see that this restaurant has not sold out to a European menu as so many in the old town have you can taste the great Vietnamese flavors that surely you came all this way for. Its by far the best we have tried and far better than some of the restaurants ranked above them.give em a try... More

Everything is wonderful -- the fresh fruit shakes, mojitos and of course the food. The stir fried morning glory, grilled eggplant and... More
