Hai Cafe Courtyard BBQ & Restaurant in Hoi An Old Town
Description
A courtyard BBQ spot in the old town that manages to do both grilled meats and Vietnamese staples without either feeling like an afterthought. The brisket and ribs are the headline act here – order those, not the safe tourist dishes you could get anywhere. The golden bags starter is worth it too, for what it’s worth.
Pricing sits in the mid-range for Hoi An, which means reasonable by any honest standard. Portion sizes seem to depend entirely on who you ask (and possibly which server you get on the day).
The courtyard setting does the heavy lifting atmospherically. Come for dinner when the old town cools down and the BBQ smoke actually makes sense.
