Dong Au Restaurant Hoi An
Description
Dong Au sits just far enough from the Ancient Town circus to attract actual locals, which tells you something useful. The menu is broad – Vietnamese standards like pho, fresh rolls, and curries – and the kitchen clearly puts effort into the broth (not a given around here).
The vegetarian options get specific praise, and the staff handle allergy requests without making it a whole production. Thanh, who seems to run front-of-house, has regulars who’ve been coming back since 2017, which is a more reliable signal than any review score.
