Hoi An Sense - Vietnamese Restaurant

Had a wonderful evening at Hoi An Sense. The restaurant offers a truly memorable dining experience that blends culture, tradition, and fine Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant’s ambience is breathtaking, wooden interiors, soft lantern lights, and live traditional performances that bring the charm of Hoi An to life. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic flavour; the crab rice, spring rolls, and steamed fish stood out in particular. The service team was attentive and genuinely warm, making the evening feel personal and relaxed. A perfect choice for anyone seeking refined Vietnamese dining in Ho Chi Minh City. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors alike.

We had dinner at Michelin-starred Hoi An Sense when we were in Vietnam. Vibes and ambiance were really good but I feel like the food’s just okay? Like I wasn’t particularly wow-ed or didn’t find them to be exceptionally delicious or different? It was still a good meal overall. We went with set menu 1 and had the following: - Seafood Spring Rolls - Young Papaya Salad with Caramelised Shrimps - Fried Soft-Shell Crab with Salted Kumquat Sauce - Grilled Chicken in Pandan Leaf - Stir-Fried Vietnamese Spinach with Garlic - Green Fried Rice with Salted Fish Floss - Caramel Flan with Coffee

Very authentic but not my taste. Food present are very beautiful but the taste too mild or light to me. The ambience with relax, you can enjoy the vietnam transitional musical.

Overall disappointed. The food was good but a slow inconsistent service that ruined the whole experience. Our table was a group of 5 including 2 children. The dishes sent out were slow and even took a while between each dish. It turned out I finished the 3 dishes I ordered before the children had even received their plate of stir-fried noodles. I complained about this saying most of the table have not had their main courses yet. They said the kitchen was busy but it was a Wednesday and the restaurant appeared to have several tables vacant. It did leave us feeling disappointed as it was meant to be a birthday celebration. For 4.7m VND (£145) it was not worth it and would not recommend it after this experience

Very beautiful restaurant enjoy the dinner. Hoi An Ancient City lanterns well decorated the restaurant. Live music show is a surprise. Traditional Vietnamese food is beautifully presented. Taste is normal.

Food is very fresh and delicious. All of menus are traditional Vietnamese foods. The view is very beautiful, we can take many great photos here. The restaurant is suitable for foreigner to touch Vietnamese culture. There is a band to play the traditional music. Let’s come to try.

Nice ambient and lighting. The building is so ancient and like a palace . Authentic architecture and authentic Vietnamese Foods. Live musical performances.

Hoi A Sense is an excellent fine-dining spot located on the 6th-floor rooftop of Opus Saigon in District 1, offering easy access and a peaceful escape from the bustling city. The ambiance is intimate and quiet, with spacious seating and a touch of luxury. The live performance by Vietnamese traditional musicians added to the cultural charm. I tried the Miến Xào Cua Nồi Đất (Wok Fried Vermicelli with Crab Meat in Clay Pot), priced at VND339,000, and it was delicious—full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was decent, though not exceptional for a fine dining venue. I appreciated that Apple Pay and credit cards are accepted, making payment convenient. Overall, it wasn’t crowded, which made for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience well-suited for pleasant conversation. It’s also a great venue for groups, whether for special occasions or a tranquil gathering.
