We had dinner here last night after my husband spotted it from our river boat in the afternoon. My mother had a very unusual and highly delicious fig and tofu stirfry, while I had a very tasty and refreshing pomelo chicken salad. My hubby's grilled fish was also excellent. All the while, the sun set as little patches of water... More

The young man makes a coffee that would make the grade in George St. Sydney any day. He made 3 different teas for my wife just to find a special tea she liked.

We ate in the garden by the side of the river, a wonderful setting. The food was good quality and the service excellent.

We saw this gorgeous looking restaurant whilst passing in a boat so we thought we would give it a try! We didn't think that in general the staff were friendly, a little passive to say the least! Ordered starters which were excellent and thought the mains would be as good. However we ordered 3 between us and only one of... More

We spent three evenings in Hoi An at the end of our three week SE Asian trip. Previously, we had eaten at Brothers. We loved the atmosphere but found the food meh. Still looking for a great waterfront dining experience, we tried Dao Tien and found it ticked all the boxes. We asked for a river front table (note that... More

Nice location by the river but the meal was ruined by the deafening noise on coming from the dreadful singing of the live band at the restaurant next door. The waiter explained that this happened every Sunday evening. Several potential customers walked in to the resaurant but walked out before ordering because they could not stand the noise. I wish...

Thought we'd eat better. Staff very friendly, table with river view. Our lunch was quite good, The Dao Tien speciality 'moneybags' was very tasty. The rest of the meal was Ok, perfectly fine to relax after a hot few hours walking around town.

The Dao Tien restaurant has a lovely location outside under the trees next to the river. The food was ok and the service good. It provided a pleasant relaxing lunch in between walking through town.

Just thought that the food was really average. Not nearly as nice as other places we ate in Hoi An and not as cheap. Nice location though.

One of the nicest meals I had in Vietnam - peaceful riverside location, friendly staff and lovely food. What more do you need? It might not be in quite the same central location as some of the other restaurants, but it is worth the effort to get there. I stayed at the Ha An hotel and it was less than... More
