My visit to Hoi An was unforgettable after the visit to this family run restaurant! The owner was passionate about explaining the historical context of the antiques that had been kept in her family for 5 generations. She generously allowed me to hold the items and take pictures to gain a better understanding. I was only supposed to stop off for a drink but was so fascinated that I landed there for the whole afternoon! The food and drinks were delicious and the rooftop is a lovely spot to chill and enjoy a cocktail, thank you for having me- I’ll be back again!

This place is an absolute gem if you are visiting Hoi An. We were greeted by the most welcoming hosts who are also the owners of this ancient house. They collect generations of family antiquity and showed us around their home, displaying ancient Vietnamese and Chinese ceramics. We were only there to have tea on a rainy day and just before we were leaving, they asked us if we wanted to see around. it was beautiful to see how they enjoyed sharing stories about their culture, we genuinely felt like visiting a friend. They have a rich menu and an absolutely stunning rooftop as well! i definitely recommend checking it out, you will not regret

Great experience! The staff so nice. She explained a lot historical stories behind the antiqued ceramics. We ordered 3 kinds of tea. All of them taste so good. The view near by windows of the first floor seeing people walking outside is fantastic. Love talking with the owners, the atmosphere, design. I had very good time with mom. Thank you so much!

One of the most interesting and enjoyable experiences that I have ever had while traveling in Vietnam and I have been coming here frequently for 20 years. The family's collection of Vietnamese and Cham artifacts is phenomenal and one of the daughters is eager to tell you the significance and history of almost every piece in their collection. The 300 year old family home is a work of art in itself. The family...two daughters and their father and mother...are wonderful people...some of the nicest people I have ever met. Highly recommend visiting the living museum in their home...and please show your appreciation for their warm hospitality.

We really love the coffee and food! My mom said it was the best food she had had throughout our trip. Love the antiques and furniture! The host was super nice - she introduced everything and helped us take nice photos. The price could be a little high compared to other vietnamese restaurants in general but I would say definitely worth it!
