Tô Dinette Viet offers a vibrant and authentic Vietnamese street food experience that transports diners directly to the streets of Hoi An through its charming, atmosphere-rich decor. While many guests rave about the flavorful chicken wings, Bò Né, and shrimp fritters, praising the fresh ingredients and warm, welcoming service, others find the signature low plastic seating to be physically uncomfortable for extended periods. Despite some inconsistent feedback regarding portion sizes, flavor depth, and occasional wait times, the majority of visitors feel the quality of the cooking and the unique, cozy vibe make it a standout destination on the Plaza St Hubert. Reservations are highly recommended for those looking to secure a standard table and ensure a seamless visit.
I came in for lunch, arrived at noon & waited over 40 minutes for my dish. When I ordered my meal there was only one other person in the restaurant. I wanted a soup but they weren't offering any that day. The chicken dish I had was ok, the flavour was nice but the vermicelli was overcooked. I had to get up to go pay & then used the bathroom. The bathrooms were both very dirty, but they had just opened?!?
I love eating out alone or with friends but I can't recommend this place. There's some potential but will need more organization & cleanliness over all.
It's really too bad because Vietnamese food is my favourite & my trip to Vietnam was amazing for the food but not like this.
Great ambiance, beautiful decor, & excellent service, but the food didn't quite live up to the social media hype. As someone who is Vietnamese, I had high expectations that weren't met.
?The chicken wings are a good value at $8 for 3 large pieces, but they lacked crispiness & the nuoc mam flavor was barely noticeable. The chicken salad was decent, & while the bread was good, the Bò Né, the dish I was most excited for, was disappointing in both portion size & taste. Come for the vibes & service, but the execution of the food leaves room for improvement.
MEH. Not much flavour. Everything was topped with the same mint,cilantro, & cabbage so they all tasted the same. Chicken wings were bland. Couldn't taste any seasoning on them. The beef in Bo Ne was underseasoned. Portion size was not generous for the price.

Cozy restaurant with good ambiance. Love the V-pop playlist. We went in just before dinner rush hence service time was right on. Food was on the saltier side, a beer would pair well with it. The chicken wings offer good value, a true street food spirit. Will be back for outside set up.
Amazing food & service, I had the cánh ga (chicken wings) as an entrée & then bò né ( beaf à la citronelle, egg, baguette & a home made paté!) it was an amazing experience.Thanks to Aaron for suggesting the meal. Definitely passing by again.
I was walking by this restaurant one evening & I decided to stop & look at the menu. The restaurant had some photos of some of the dishes in their front window display. As i looked at them I said « Mmm, that looks good . » A voice behind me said « You won't know until you've come in & tried the food. » I turned & I saw someone relaxing, obviously at the end of a shift. It was the Chef, Galaxy. I asked him if the crab & pork soup was good. He said you'll have to try it to know. I said that i usually ate at Pho Tay Ho & was the food comparable to them? He said to come for lunch tomorrow & be the judge! So I did. My wife & I got the chicken wings, the eggplant & tofu & a Ca Phe. The food was simply excellent. We will go back soon! Bravo chef.
Love the asmosphere here, the deco & everything,
Enjoy the Bún Riêu the most, with CHINSU hotsauce 🔥holy im so glad it not spirancha (no offence)
& the chicken wings (cánh gà ) sweet & savory, a must buy indeed
1) Food:
The dishes looked great in their ads & on social media, so I was very excited (they also ran *a lot* of ads). However, most items fell short. The only standout was bánh tôm (the shrimp fritters) which I enjoyed. Bò né (the steak & egg skillet) had too much soy sauce which overwhelmed the beef & pâté. The bánh bao was more Chinese bao bun style than actual Vietnamese bánh bao, & the filling was below average - definitely my least favorite. G?i gà (the chicken salad) was also average & forgettable.
Portions were small for the price, so we didn't bother ordering more & just went to Tay Ho restaurant nearby afterward for a fuller, actually delicious, & cheaper meal.
2) Service:
Also disappointing. After our food arrived, we held off eating to wait for our friend, which was 15 minutes in total (I took photos & have timestamps). 2 minutes before our friend came, at 6 PM, our server came over & asked,'Are you guys gonna eat that? We have tables after you.' This felt unnecessary & uncomfortable, especially since we were already worried sick if our friend was safe or not because of this unusual delay.
For context, I'd called the day before & were aware they had rsvps starting from 7 PM, so this interaction at 6 felt rushed & somewhat icky. Then we checked with another server & were told we had a 1.5-hour seating window, which made the other person's question even more unreasonable. We finished everything at 6:19 PM, which was approximately an hour of the total seating.
After reading all the other comments, I have a feeling we're all referring to the same waitress. If that's right then I hope they would take some actions to manage this issue, like better training or something.
3) Seating:
The setup was awkward & impractical. I understand Tô Dinette Viet wants to recreate a Vietnamese street food aesthetic with their furniture choices, but the execution misses the mark & inauthentic. Low plastic tables are typically paired with short stools (see my 2nd photo), & taller chairs go with even higher metal tables (photo #3), not whatever they do. This mismatch made it uncomfortable to eat & could be especially difficult for older customers.
This restaurant went viral on social media so we decided to give it a try on my search for Vietnamese food- the snack menu was what piqued my interest as opposed to a regular pho restaurant.
A fair bit of seating inside- both normal tables & smaller tables that mimicked seating at food stalls in Vietnam.
Food wise- menu is definitely smaller but dishes were well prepared. We ordered the chicken salad, wings, shrimp fritters & a mango margarita. Everything was great, service was quick & efficient. Prices were also very fair.
They've only been open for two months but good to see a local place like this have success!
Stumbled onto this place while walking on the street - even though it was 5:30 pm on a Saturday night & I had no reservation I was welcomed in to sit at the back bar. What a delightful surprise - great food at a great price, great atmosphere, & truly nice crew (I met a new waiter - his first day on the job - the house manager, & the chef, all of whom briefly chatted with me.)
On waiter Brandon's recommendation, I ordered the Cahn Ga (chicken wings) appetizer & was instantly hooked - among the best I've ever had! Generously sized, three big wings with perfectly cooked, tender meat in a delicious crisp coating, subtly spiced with a bit of sauce & herbs. It was so good I ended up ordering a to-go order to bring home to my wife! At $8 per order this was an absolute deal.
Also at his suggestion I had the main course soup, Bun Rieu - a generously portioned & lovely bowl (see photo) that featured a tangy (but not spicy) red broth with herbs & vegetable garnish, lots of vermicelli-like soft rice noodles, satisfying slices of baked tofu, & featuring unusual (& tasty)'meatballs' of mixed ground pork & crab paste, which filled me up quite happily.
In talking to chef Galaxy (as he introduced himself) I learned that his goal was to bring reasonably priced Vietnamese'street food' to the public, being mindful of how difficult it is to present affordable & tasty food to the neighborhood in these times. I'd say he succeeded admirably!
The decor was vibrant & fun - colorful paper lanterns, a lovely & inviting entrance full of Vietnamese signs & memorabilia, & a cheery if deliberately low-key vibe. & pleasant, not-too-loud background music, a big plus.
As one of the customers leaving as I went it said, this place has great, authentic food. I'll be back. I'm no expert on Vietnamese street food, but I know what well-executed & delicious, good quality food at a good price can be. This place hits the mark.
