Firefly Restaurant & Bar
Description
Firefly is a family-run Vietnamese restaurant that takes its food seriously – the kind of place where you can tell someone in the kitchen actually cares whether your Com Ga is fresh. The White Rose Cake, Shaking Beef, and Hoi An Chicken Rice are the dishes people come back for, and the mango salad deserves more attention than it gets.
The vibe is warm and unpretentious. Staff are helpful rather than performatively so, and several reviewers mention feeling like they were eating at someone’s home (which, in the best possible way, is exactly the point).
Practical note: it’s a short walk from the Hoi An Memories show entrance, so it works well as a pre-show dinner spot. Cold beers, good pacing, no drama.

Order the White Rose Cake and the mango salad together as starters - they balance each other well and both disappear fast at the table.
