Hoi An 1608 Vietnamese Restaurant

Aesthetic was great, wildly fast service, exciting vegan options that aren’t at many other places in the city, portions were huge, and most importantly the food quality was amaaazing (though maybe a teeny bit salty). 10/10 would go again.

Ordered Shaking Beef my all time favorite All potatoes which were good but 43. for potatoes and little beef which I question being Filet Mignon. Sorry it's a no go.

Hoi An has some of the best dishes I've tasted. My favorite was the shaking beef, which was incredibly tender and flavorful.

It's got a great atmosphere with beautiful decor and makes a great spot to take a date.

Good food, but the waitress’s way of asking about the tip made me feel uncomfortable.

Thank you for your response. However, instead of addressing my concern about the waitress’s behavior, your reply focused on the tip amount, which is disappointing. I understand the tipping culture in the U.S., but the issue was not about how much I tipped — it was about being made uncomfortable when the staff commented on it. A professional restaurant should value customer experience over defending such behavior. This is the fine line between being an upscale restaurant and just thinking you are one.

I can't rate the atmosphere as I ordered delivery and didn't dine in. Delivery wise it was a big fail. The instructions that I left on both items of the order were not followed which was frustrating but the entree was the worst part. They charged $45 for the special garlic noodle w/shaken beef. As you can see from the picture below it looks like there is no beef (filet mignon) at all so I initially complained and I began to take a photo and video so they could see the dish and upon taking the video and moving the bowl of potatoes and peppers around I found 3 (yes you heard me right) three thumb sized cubes of steak. So I paid $45 for a giant bowl of potatoes, onions, and red pepper swimming in oil. I would definitely not order takeout or delivery from them again.

We had a beef pho and caramelized catfish. The catfish’s excessively fishy taste suggested it was old. The beef pho was one note: hella salty. Prices were also super high - even for average food quality I wouldn’t have liked paying the menu price!

Very tasty authentic food! It’s worth trying even based on SF standards.

Best authentic Vietnamese in Belgium. The owner is so nice and hospitable too! Will be back. 💥

Ordered takeout chicken pho and rice vermicelli bowls with pork. While the workers seemed friendly and the of the restaurant atmosphere looked nice, both things we got were shockingly bad. The chicken was quite dry and the pho broth tasted like very salty and low quality instant chicken broth bouillon - really not whats typical for a decent chicken pho. Most of the rice vermicelli bowl was decent, but the nuoc mam left much to be desired - it had a 1 dimensional and light flavor
