Very cosy restaurant. They we’re soo kind. It rained when we left, so they gave us a plastic raincoat. After diner they also give you some fruits.
Randomly found this restaurant in the alley in HoiAn. Food is okay. Local dish. Reasonable price
The food is always delicious. We came here several times within 2 years and the quality never changed. Also they don't use MSG / Glutamate, what is a big plus. The staff is friendly and attentive.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem Worth Finding! What a wonderful find in Hoi An! Tucked away in a quiet back alley, Pause and Enjoy Restaurant is exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble upon — away from the crowds and noise, yet full of warmth and charm. From the moment we arrived, the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome, checking in without ever being intrusive. The setup is lovely — cozy, thoughtfully decorated, and with a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The music was just right too: soft and pleasant, adding to the calm ambience without overpowering conversation. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented — clearly made with care. It was one of the best meals we had during our time in Hoi An. To top it all off, they surprised us with complimentary fresh fruit at the end of the meal — such a thoughtful touch that perfectly captured the warm spirit of the place. If you're looking for a peaceful spot with great food, lovely vibes, and hospitality that feels genuine, do yourself a favor and find this little alley gem. We'll definitely be back!
Das Personal ist super lieb und zuvorkommend. Das Essen ist gut und wir durften sogar neue Kreationen als erstes probieren. Feedback ist hier herzlich willkommen und wird schnell umgesetzt. Neuerdings gibt es auch Frühstück, was wir ebenfalls ausprobiert haben und als sehr gut empfunden haben. Weiter so! Absolut zu empfehlen.
Food was delicious, restaurant was lovely to sit in, the staff keep an eye on you and offer complimentary add ons to improve your meal
A/C, great ambient music, tasty cuisine and excellent service! Highly recommend when you’re in Hoi An.
작년 호이안 방문했을시 퍼즈앤엔조이 두번 왔었고. 일년만에 오늘 또 방문했어요. 파인애플 볶음밥은 애들이 너무 잘먹어서 두번 시켰구요. 반세오,스프링롤, 총알오징어, 감자튀김, 완톤도 너무 맛있어요. 이집 완톤 먹으러 또온거에요. 어른2명, 아이3명 실컷 먹고갑니다
價格超便宜又好吃😋 …
הגענו לארוחת חג, היה אירוח מדהים, מגוון אוכל טעים וטרי.
호이안올때마다 왔었고 하루에 2번도 먹을정도로 참 행복하게 찾았던식당인데 무슨일인지 양도 많이줄고 맛도 상당히 밍밍해졌어요. 너무기대하고 온건가 싶어 일행에게물으니 동일하게 변했다 느낍니다🥲 이젠 안녕...😭
Un 10/10! ✨ trato excelente, comida BUENÍSIMA, precios correctos. La verdad, un sitio para volver. Nosotros hicimos un banh mi para compartir (brutal), un cao lau que estaba súper bueno y pho de ternera. QUE RICO TODO.
The air conditioning is strong and the grilled fish is so delicious that I'm leaving in a good mood after eating well~~
I came early in the morning because it opens early. There is a separate breakfast menu from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM. This place is originally famous for its delicious food, and I also enjoyed the breakfast menu. When you order a menu, a drink is complimentary, so the price seems reasonable. The store is clean and the atmosphere is nice, so I recommend it as a brunch restaurant!
I came to this restaurant because of the good reviews, and the service is really as good as the reviews, and the food is delicious. I had bánh xèo, pineapple fried rice, and morning glory, and everything was really tasty. I'm curious about the other menu items too! The staff are very kind. I will visit again next time!! 🇻🇳💛
We found this restaurant through Google reviews and it did not disappoint us at all. Their meals are phenomenal and the price is very good, they are very complete dishes. The service was fast and very pleasant, and they also had a nice gesture of inviting us to a plate of fruit for dessert. A very timely stop if you are also watching the night market.
Hoi An restaurant!! My friend's couple came here 3 years ago and recommended it because it was so delicious, so we came back together 3 years later. Yesterday we had dinner, and today we came for breakfast!! Banh xeo, morning glory with beef So freaking delicious Perfect for Korean taste buds
I visited because I heard they now have breakfast too! I didn't have much appetite, but I was satisfied with the many simple menu options👍 While eating, you must try the mango passion smoothie—it harmonizes incredibly well with the food.. I'll have to come again next time I'm in Hoi An..😇
Korea Korean people are extremely delicious. Please come.
Delicious food that suits my taste. I ate it all up. I was also given fruit for dessert. 10/10
A cute and cozy Vietnamese eatery in the heart of Hoi An. The staff are also very enthusiastic. I am very satisfied.
Cute eatery, delicious food, free dessert given
It's pleasant and really delicious. Koreans will definitely love this taste. It's the best. I'll come again next time.
Visited QQ Restaurant again on my second trip to Hoi An. Made a reservation in advance, so our large family could eat in a cool place without waiting~~~ This time, the fried sea bream and stir-fried pork with eggplant we ordered were truly the best~!! A joyful meal that satisfied the whole family~^^
