Reviews of Hoi An House

A.

Great friendly service. We had the summer rolls as a starter and the flavors were incredible with the dipping sauce, I could of eaten it as a main 10/10. For dinner i had the lemongrass chicken and that was very nice too. Highly recommended 👌

J.

This is one of our favourite go-to Asian fusion restaurants. Every time we’ve eaten in or ordered takeaway, the food never disappoints. The chefs have nailed that perfect umami balance in their beautiful nuoc cham Vietnamese dipping sauce. We recently had the fried fish Hawker roll, Vietnamese pancake and the delicate crab spring rolls which are a long-time favourite item. The Hanoi pork meatballs are a new favourite dish as well, packed with punchy fresh flavours. Seriously tasty eats! If you live in Halswell or Wigram, make sure you try this place out.

A.

Excellent food even with takeaways. We had the beef shin red curry, my favourite, and another beef dish. A bit pricey but enough food for 2 plus another lunch.

B.

I've driven past Hoi An House quite a few times and we finally went in on Xmas Eve for dinner. It was amazing: generous portions, fresh and tasty food and best of all, genuinely great service (which is rare in NZ!). We also learned they do takeaways so will be our new go-to spot for Thai food. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back :-)

S.

We went for the birthday dinner, what an awesome food and place. The food was very good and great portions. Will definitely comeback, highly recommended!!

s.

Authentic Vietnamese restaurant, located in Halswell. Ample parking at the back, beautifully landscaped front yard, outdoor seatings available. Spacious, nicely decorated interior, tables are well spaced. Large portion dishes, well priced, fresh ingredients. Nice and friendly staff, super (almost too) attentive. Very busy place, heaps takeaways happening in the background too, luckily we got there early so the wait was okay. Will definitely go again.

G.

Fantastic Vietnamese dishes, that have large portions. Highly recommended

M.

Food was ok - service was good I expected it to authentic Vietnamese food but it was more a fusion restaurant

T.

Great atmosphere,tasty food & very pleasant staff. One of my favourite places to eat.

N.

Lovely food. We had the set menu and the amount was generous for the 4 of us who were sharing it.

A.

Lovely meal, good sized portions, everything beautifully presented, tasty ingredients. Friendly and prompt service, comfortable surroundings.

A.

3/6/20 - 2 visit Had pad Thai n chicken n prawn black sauce platter. Very nice food. But expensive.. 74$ for 3 dishes..

a.

Good place, good service and good meals. Summer rolls with dip sauce, fried rice noodles with seasoned beef and slow cooked lamb with curry, all meals are high quality cooked.

R.

Have been 3 times last 3 weeks. No complaints and each time food tasty tempting. New dishes experienced each time and each a real taste experience. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Service is exceptional! Highly Recommend. Have a take out menu as well.

C.

Fantastic food, excellent attentive staff. This was a great meal, taste was superb, good size portions, very reasonably priced. Will go back again.

M.

Food was nice, very noisy place , and seating is very uncomfortable. Service was OK, a bit slow but it was busy.

H.

My family and I had a wonderful evening at Hoi An House recently. It was lovely and warm and we were seated immediately. The menu had a good variety and reasonably priced. The service we received was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Thanks very much.

V.

Fantastic meals as usual, excellent staff and overall amazing experience

W.

Great food and staff were very friendly defo.comming back to try some more

A.

As per usual Hoi An didn't disappoint. Lovely fresh meals. Thanks again

B.

Authentic Vietnam food here. We are the only Asian face when we were there. The food is just delicious. We need rice because we are from Asian.

N.

Exceptional flavours, such a large variety of dishes to try too, there will be something for everyone. Super friendly staff, and always a good atmosphere. I also get takeaway from time to time too and that's always been excellent too. Love this place

M.

Nice environment, but fusion cuisine to NZ standards and the service could be more polite and knowledgeable to the menus.

J.

The service is really good. The pork belly is scrumptious.

S.

Very enjoyable evening. Very relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff. Food excellent

C.

Very, very high quality food, can not fault. Have been there a couple times now over a few years and portion sizes have not degraded what so ever. Always amazing coming here for family dinners.

M.

Misleading vietnamese resto name when it actually serves thai as well. Not much selection of vietnamese food. Pho wasnt tasty, the stir fry chicken and veggie was too salty, tom yum soup doesnt taste sour, so salty and grainy instead of clear one. The ambience is quaint and seems popular.

D.

Beautifully presented lovely food. Staff pleasant and attentive

B.

Fantastic food, lovely atomsphere and very attentive staff... Would have given 5 stars if they driveway wasn't like a street in Baghdad... 🙄 🤣

B.

Great food and nice staff. This place is always great to go to and food is consistently first class. Make a time to try it.

W.

Delicious evening Vietnamese meal with friends. We were a large group and, while our meals arrived over extended intervals, we certainly enjoyed the food. Particularly memorable was the fish salad, also the sizzling pork. Enjoyed my prawn satay, and the lychee cocktail was deliciously refreshing on such a warm evening. Lovely setting in an elegant villa in Halswell, with plenty of off-street parking.

C.

What a great place for functions or just catchup with friends!

k.

Fantastic venue awesome meals great service

J.

Awesome food. We had takeaways so the service was a bit slow. Staff busy attending tables first.

F.

Dinner with friends. Very nice menu. Plenty to choose from and very tasty. Ideal for sharing, or don, whatever suits you. Gracious staff who are happy to please. Nice converted house and larger deck seating onto large lawn. Very pleasant.

D.

Loved the taste of Vietnam and Thai food. A great mix of colours and flavors. Fresh herbs, succulent meat and perfectly cooked vegetables. Make sure you take a bit of time to order as food was very prompt in arriving.

P.

Amazing Place To Go For A Weekend Lunch Or Dinner. Very Clean And Decor Is Stylish. Great Service Very Well Presented Food. Great Prices For Lunch Mostly Are $15 Some Are Just Under $20 And Dinner Menu There Is Something For Everyone. VERY GOOD FOR VEGANS GLUTEN FREE PEOPLE MANY OPTIONS AND ARE VERY HAPPY TO HELP AND CHANGES ARE NO PROBLEM. Food Was Amazing And If They Were In The City Centre They Would Be Flat Out Busy. Very Authentic Great Value Family Friendly Very Comfortable Beautiful Outdoor Area And Gardens. It Is Well Worth The Drive Or Trip Out To This Place You Will Not Be Disappointed And Will Find A Place You Will Come Back To. We Did For Lunch The Next Day Even Though We Were Staying In The Central City. Take The Time To Go To This Place You Will Love The Affordable Quality Authentic Fresh Flavours.

K.

Absolutely thrilled with the amazing service we received tonight. Our waitress Shakira did an amazing job and made our night even better. The food was incredible and came out very quickly. We will definitely be returning!

D.

Usually perfect but this might too busy staff couldn't cope and food service time line terrible. Half hour between 1st entree to last, same with mains one out first by the time we had the last meal delivered us 5 others had finished. As I said usually perfect, we will go back, a bad day

L.

We had a lovely meal here. We were a group of 6 and order a set menu. Great variety and fresh food. Loved the atmosphere. Excellent service and affordable prices

K.

We have been here twice this week. Absolutely fantastic. Great service, the staff are great and very accommodating. The food is exceptional and is a very good price. Thanks will be back soon.

A.

Had entree of crispy pork belly and it was moist and crispy on the outside and wow so delicious. Main I had lamb shank braised in curry sauce . I was a bit sceptical on the curry part of it but the meat fell off the bone and the curry sauce went really well with it. Very enjoyable I took home the salted caramel cheesecake to finish. The flavour of the carmel was delicate and not over powering. Service was good and nothing seemed to be a problem for the staff I'll be coming back soon

C.

An amazing suburban setting. We went as a group of five and found sharing food on the table quite challenging. No set menu for under 10 and most entrees are only two or three portions. The portions were generous but recommend asking for extra rice. The peanut satay are delicious. Three stars as pricing is more on high end including drinks.

S.

Fantastic service and great lunch menu. Go for the crispy pork belly (small to medium portion - $8). Had the chicken and satay as well - very nice! And finished off with cheesecake and ice cream. Nice roomy renovated villa - very cosy. Staff are very obliging and responsive so yes...they do ask if the meals are ok regularly (which is good in my books). Wheelchair ramp accessibility and ample parking available.

N.

Fantastic food, with a mix of Vietnamese and Thai authentic style dishes. Good service, but a limited wine menu. Still five stars without a doubt.

B.

Meal and service were good however we sat at a table directly opposite a window the sun came directly in our eyes it was so bright I could not see the food on the table it ruined the whole evening for me, why they have no blinds is beyond me. Tip take your own wine even with $8 corkage it's a lot cheaper.

G.

While visiting from the states some special folks took me out for dinner. I had the lamb curry and it was wonderful !! So much good food in Christchurch and this place is right up there for sure. Thanks, cant wait to visit again, see you soon.

J.

Lovely building.Fabulous food beautifully presented. A great evening. Look forward to going again.

H.

Visited Hoi An house last week and was not disappointed! The food was impeccable - the best dim sims I’ve ever had! The service was the icing on the cake, Carlos was fantastic - so helpful and friendly. Will be back and recommending to all!

J.

Lovely restaurant, great staff and beautiful food. The only this they could change is serve the water chilled not at room temperature and filter it as it tasted like swimming pool water. Everything thing else was perfect:-)

B.

24th November 2018 - This is a newly opened Vietnamese restaurant that is located in Halswell area. It was previously White House Black [cafe] which has since closed and was replaced by this business (a new proprietor). We went there for a birthday dinner and I didn't make any reservations. We were lucky to get a table for four as they are a busy restaurant. I strongly recommend that you make a reservation as to avoid any disappointment. We were not expecting too much (we came with an open minded) but since there were plenty of locals (Caucasians), we were thinking the taste must be tailored to their palate. How wrong we were 😅 as the taste was quite authentic. Anyway, the interior layout is well set up and cosy. The place is dimly lit and it feels kinda good vibe. There is a bar with a waiting area, for the guests to have drinks while waiting for their tables. The menu is very straightforward; entrees, à la carte dishes, and desserts. The drinks are on a separate menu. The menu is not overwhelming (which is a good thing) with choices but rather nicely balanced. They have duck, chicken, beef, pork and many more, and can tailor to suits your taste! We ordered two entrées; summer rolls (which are fresh spring rolls) and a hawker roll. Let me say this, these are freshly made. The taste was good coming from this restaurant. The fresh spring rolls contain mint leaves inside, which most local Vietnamese restaurants don't have. It made a lot of difference in taste (bear in mind, all Vietnamese spring rolls in Vietnam contain mint leaves). These are served with their chilli sauce. The hawker roll was served with a homemade flat roti (bread), fried fish, crispy shallots and fresh coriander covered with spicy coconut sauce. Quite refreshing to try both entrées. Now, we ordered four main dishes to share between 4 people; chop chop “bun” ha noi, lemongrass chicken, mekong fish salad and traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. We glad to have ordered these dishes as the kids love it (so do we, the adults) especially the mekong fish salad and the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. All the dishes have its distinct taste and flavour. Mekong fish 🐟 salad was refreshing; fresh herbs, spicy and sour with tangy taste. The traditional Vietnamese noodle soup was delicious due to the strong flavor of chicken broth/ soup. They use small rice flat noodles and served with fresh bean sprouts, coriander, mint, sliced chili 🌶️ and lime. The lemongrass chicken 🐔🍗has a strong turmeric flavour and might not be everyone's couple of tea. As for the last dish (chop chop “bun” ha noi), enough said. You need to try it yourself 😜. One thing I will say is that the pork 🐷 tasted similar to Malaysian 🇲🇾 satay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for the first visit to this brand new Vietnamese restaurant. Good portion sizes. This is a child-friendly restaurant. This is a licensed (🍻🍸🍷🍾🍹🍺) eatery and not a BYO. There is outdoor dining area. There is onsite parking 🅿. They accept cash and EFTPOS including credit card payments (Paywave payments are not available, for those who want to know). Would I go back? Yes 😀. Well worth a try and you will not be disappointed. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. It was yummy 😋. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Relax and cosy. Price: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Premium pricing compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Christchurch. However, the standard of this eatery is very similar to a fine dining restaurant. Customer service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Professional service and very friendly staff.

S.
