What To order at Miss Ly Hoi An

The menu features classic Vietnamese dishes, carefully prepared to preserve local flavors and culinary traditions. The extensive selection offers an excellent opportunity for visitors to experience authentic Hoi An flavors at reasonable prices.

Highly recommended dishes include Cao Lau (rice noodles with barbecued pork), Banh Bao Vac (white rose dumplings), Thit Nuong (grilled pork), and other traditional Hoi An specialties.

We also noticed that Miss Ly offers a dedicated vegetarian menu with several vegan options, making it a great choice for plant-based diners.

We reviewed the menu and ordered several dishes: deep-fried wontons, pho, and cao lau. The food was served promptly, and the presentation was quite nice. Everything was very fresh and delicious.

Fried Wontons

Miss Ly Hoi An Must-try Fried Wontons

Don’t miss out on Miss Ly’s fried wontons!

The deep-fried wontons are so crispy! It is served with prawn and minced meat on top, and tomato sauce. The taste is fantastic, with a bit of a spicy kick. Among all the dishes, we particularly enjoyed the crispy fried wontons from Miss Ly. We would rate them as a must-try dish in Miss Ly Restaurant.

Cao Lau

What to eat at Miss Ly Hoi An - Cao Lau

Cao Lau is a signature Hoi An noodle dish that features thick noodles, pork, fresh herbs, and crispy cracklings. It’s essential for an authentic local flavour.

Miss Ly Staff Explained How to eat Cao Lau

The friendly servant also came here to explain how to eat cao lau. She explained to us and making sure to mix the noodles and toppings with the broth to enjoy the best flavor of this dish.

While the Cao Lau from Miss Ly tasted good, it wasn’t something truly extraordinary. The fried wontons were likely so good that we had high expectations for the Cao Lau.

Pho

Lastly, we also ordered pho from Miss Ly Cafeteria because we enjoy a hot soup noodles dish for dinner. It had a wonderful taste.

At the end of the meal, we didn’t have any food left at the end of our meal! The flavors were amazing, and there was just the right amount of food. The prices were very reasonable, and everything was great.

All in all, Miss Ly Cafeteria should be on your list of places to eat in Hoi An. The food is delicious and Miss Ly truly lives up to its reputation. We highly recommend Miss Ly Hoi An for authentic local Hoi An cuisine. The fried wontons are a must-try dish. Although the restaurant is relatively small, it is popular with both locals and visitors.
