188 Hoa Vang Restaurant
Description
Sits on a quiet side street near Japanese Bridge, which means you get the good location without the tourist circus right outside your table. The Hoi An set menu is the move here – white rose dumplings, cao lau, the local hits all in one order – and the kitchen handles them well enough that Japanese visitors keep coming back specifically for the white rose.
