Why Travelers Love The Secret
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Loved the food, Hoi A style chicken and spring rolls were amazing, but surprisingly the deserts were fantastic! The view and atmosphere incredible watching the river life and people passing by. Service excellent too, we will come again. The food was fantastic, had the excellent typical local dishes and they were delicious. Wonderful service, excellent facilities/bathroom and a beautiful atmosphere (by the river) made this an absolutely delightful place to have a meal in Hoi An! Highly recommend The location is primo and the service was outstanding. Especially outside, right by the river with the boats and the lanterns on full display - it really is special. The service was exceptional and the staff looked after us and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. The Cao Lau was beautiful and the White Rose dumplings were very good. The fresh spring rolls unfortunately weren’t that fresh with their ingredients, my spicy chicken leg was mild at best, the Kim Chi as an appetiser was an odd choice and the cocktails were rather watered down - which was a shame because I wanted to like it so badly! Again, no flaws from the staff, they were wonderful - the food could have just been fresher, spicier and tastier and the cocktails definitely need a bit of work! Worth it for the venue though :)

Accidentally stumbled upon this gem while souvenir shopping in Hoi An, and what a delightful surprise! The Secret Oasis in Hoi An Vietnam is such a cozy spot with a lovely river view – perfect for just kicking back and relaxing. The food was absolutely superb, and the laid-back ambiance just made you want to chill all day. We especially loved their coffee! Beyond that, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which always makes a big difference. Being from the Philippines, I can confidently say I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to all my friends visiting Hoi An! A must-visit.

Celebrated my birthday here with dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind and great. They had done decorations and did one of our desserts with candles and sang happy birthday to me. We will definitely recommend this restaurant, and we will be back. 👌🥰
