Know about us
We are proud natives of Hoi An, spanning four generations and sharing a deep love for our hometown, its people, and the rich traditions of our local cuisine. Throughout Vietnamese culture, it is the grandmothers and mothers who show their love for the family through the art of cooking, passing on precious culinary knowledge from generation to generation. Drawing from this legacy, we are dedicated to sharing the delights of Vietnamese cuisine, and in particular, the exquisite specialties of Hoi An. At Cua Dai Central Restaurant & Cooking Class, we warmly welcome customers from near and far, sharing with them the true essence of our passion.
Before our restaurant was next to Cua Dai Central beach for years, one of the most beautiful beach in Asia. At present, for serving more and more customers in Hoi An and closed to our home in the center, we moved the location from Cua Dai Beach to current location (10/2 Bach Dang street, Hoi An).
Our dedication to customer satisfaction is paramount, and we are proud to have received numerous accolades and positive reviews from our esteemed patrons. We strive to always put our customers first, ensuring that your experience with us is one of pure delight and culinary wonder.
Join us at Cua Dai Central Restaurant, where you can indulge in the heavenly flavors of our dishes and immerse yourself in the cozy atmosphere at the restaurant right by the center but not too busy at this area.
