  • Good quality. The food is fresh and hot, and the place is clean.
  • Reasonable. In other words, the price matches the plate: a good portion, a fair price, and no surprise fees.

Here is what we ordered:

The food was hot and fresh, and the coffee was perfect. Also, the portion was big enough for one person. In total, for two people, we paid about 130,000 VND. Because of this, we did not feel like we paid a “tourist price.” That is the main reason HOCO is on our list.
