We were blown away by our experience at Hoi An. Exciting Asian vegan food coupled with a super dining experience.

At last! Ever since I was diagnosed with heart problems and changed my diet to a plant based one about eight years ago we have been trying to find an eatery somewhere in Cornwall where I live that understands that vegans don't just want to...eat a darn vegan burger whenever they go out to dine. Finally we have found it and it was a complete delight. From the moment we walked in on a dull Thursday evening to the moment we left we were treated as if we were treasured guests. Probably because Hoi An is the restaurant of a independent hotel that still values it's guests and trains it's staff properly in the art of hosting, as opposed to part of a conglomerate chain who's only interest is shareholder profits. We were looked after in a way we have not been in a local restaurant for so long we had forgotten what it feels like. Anthony and a young lady who's name we forgot to ask (apologies) waited our table with great professionalism and just the right level of friendly familiarity at the same time as subtle attentiveness. Professionalism way beyond that which most younger folk seams to understand the value of. Fabrice the head chef and Lee the manager have clearly invested great time and effort (right down to making in-house seitan and other vegan receipt elements) in bringing together a range of vegan Asian/Vietnamese options which show that interesting vegan food can be delivered in the current hospitality setting even if the cost of living crisis is in full swing. The starter platter was delicious and very generous for two people, we then had the faux beef in black bean sauce and the faux pork char-siu with mixed vegetables and noodles accompanied by rice and more noodles. The vegan prawn crackers were also a fabulous touch. We shared a vegan dessert which also knocked the socks of most that we have had previously. The whole meal was quite frankly a revelation. We have only dined out in an Asian restaurant maybe once or twice since I became vegan as we have found that the only options have been simple (quite frankly lazy) mixed vegetable or tofu dishes which did little to inspire the price tag. To be presented with a menu of exciting and imaginative vegan Asian options was like being a kid in a sweet shop. We were so impressed we absolutely felt the need too speak directly with Fabrice to tell him how pleased we were with the food and to our pleasure found both Fabrice and Lee super willing to explain their passion and ambition for further developing their vegan menu. What lovely people. To top off the great evening we then found that Thursday evenings are vegan night and there was a 20% discount on the bill. What a lovely surprise. To say we will be back is such an understatement, it is fair to say that from now on Hoi An will be our first and preferred port of call for any eating out treats and trips going forward. Sure, the prices on first look might seem a little high but when you consider that a bit of fish in batter and chips almost anywhere in Cornwall (and quite often that will be a bit of Basa and have never seen the sea!) will now set you back about £16, Hoi An main course dishes at around £20 and for a platter which is super generous represent amazing value in our opinion. If you are vegan and thinking of giving Hoi-An a try we can only say, DO IT. We don't think you will be disappointed. If the alignment of dishes with their meat equivalents offends your sense of vegan purism we strongly suggest trying to get over it. In this day and age if we want restaurants to be able to deliver the innovative and time invested options that Hoi An are they have to cater for both the vegan purist and flexitarians who want to eat a greater amount of plant based meals whilst being able to have some expectation of what they will be getting. Thank you everyone at Hoi An you have finally proven to us that with care and effort it is possible to produce interesting vegan food in a dinning out setting in Cornwall.More

2 Adults, no booking on 11th August a Friday night. Shown to a nice table, orders taken by happy friendly staff. The restaurant doesn't look much from outside, but it's beautiful inside, clean, bright & spacious with beautiful mirrors and wallpaper 😀 Food arrived quickly...and all 3 courses were absolutely delicious & well presented. Our plates were returned EMPTY 🙂 I'm very glad we walked in & we'd definitely recommend & go again if we were in the area again. 5 🌟More

Delicious

Once inside it's great, but with it being inside the Westberry Hotel we couldn't find it at first. Everything is good: staff, decor, menu with an additional vegan menu that is the largest I have seen. Quite a good range of pressure beers too -...it's not a hand pumped beer place. Definitely would eat here again.More

Great food and outstanding service, more than 10/10

Walked in without booking and the staff at Hoi An could not have been more helpful. They sat us down and took a drinks order and sorted us a window-side table within a few minutes. The staff were so helpful, when we asked for directions...to a friends home (who invited us to visit whilst we dined) they could not answer at first, but within a few moments had returned with a postcode for the Sat nav. The meal was superb, the service was excellent and the whole atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming we would make this our number one choice when returning to Bodmin.More

Great choice of food, Thai curries are good. Note that the car park can be tricky to get into especially if front bays are full. There are carparks nearby if you struggle with tight spaces.

So the missus and I decided to eat in the restaurant as we had the takeaway a while back and enjoyed it. We had the starters and mains and to say we were delighted would be an understatement. Fish dishes were cooked to perfection, the...Panang curry was incredible and the service was spot on. The prices were very good considering the standard of everything was so good.

My husband called this restaurant and booked a table mentioning my birthday in passing to the helpful member of...staff. We arrived about an hour later and if I’m honest wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The staff had decorated our table and were really welcoming and friendly. We ordered drinks which unfortunately were unavailable but the waiter said give me one minute and presented us with beautiful cocktails instead. Our food was delicious and beautifully presented.
