About

Tucked in an alley of Hoi An Night Market, this authentic Vietnamese restaurant is known for local specialties like cao lầu and bánh xèo prepared with traditional flavors. The relaxing, comfortable setting and friendly, attentive staff—who often treat guests to complimentary fruit dessert—create a welcoming experience. With reasonable prices, it's a favorite among both international and local diners, many returning multiple times during the same trip.

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.

Pause and Enjoy Restaurant had such a warm, relaxed feel that it was easy to settle in right away. I really appreciated how carefully my dietary needs were handled, especially with my nut allergy, which made the whole meal feel stress-free. The starter plate was the standout for me, and the homemade fried touch was especially memorable. I’d gladly come back.

We came to this place with 5 people. Everyone agreed that it’s a best restaurant in Hoi An. Staff is so friendly and good in recommendation. They gave us about how to eat and also give us a free fruit at the end of our meals. Best recommend if you’re in Hoi An.

호이안올때마다 왔었고 하루에 2번도 먹을정도로 참 행복하게 찾았던식당인데 무슨일인지 양도 많이줄고 맛도 상당히 밍밍해졌어요. 너무기대하고 온건가 싶어 일행에게물으니 동일하게 변했다 느낍니다🥲 이젠 안녕...😭

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.

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..😇

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~^^

I came to an air-conditioned restaurant on such a hot day. I originally had no intention of writing a review, so I didn't take photos... but I can't help but write one. It's so delicious!! Bánh xèo crispy!!! The butter garlic shrimp is so savory, and dipping the bánh mì in the sauce is the best!!! I'll come again^^
