How to Book Morning Glory Signature in Hoi An
Published
Morning Glory Signature takes bookings through the Taste Vietnam site at tastevietnam.asia or on +84 235 224 1555, and the riverside tables on the An Hội waterfront go first — book a day or two ahead in season, or eat early. Cao lầu is 105,000₫ and the claypot caramel pork 235,000₫.
Two Morning Glories — Book the Right One
Ms Vy runs two Morning Glory restaurants in Hoi An, and confusing them costs you the table you wanted. Morning Glory Original is at 106 Nguyễn Thái Học in the Old Town — the 2006 original. Morning Glory Signature, this page’s subject, is the dressier second act at 41 Nguyễn Phúc Chu on the An Hội riverfront, across the water from the Old Town lanterns. Our Signature review covers the riverside room; both belong to Trịnh Diễm Vy’s Taste Vietnam group.
How to Book Morning Glory Signature
The standard route. The reservation form on tastevietnam.asia covers the whole group. A day or two ahead secures an evening table in season; the riverside balcony seats are the ones to name in the request.
The direct route. Call +84 235 224 1555. Lunch (from 11:00) is walk-in friendly; dinner service from 17:30 is when the waterfront fills and the lantern light does its work.
No reservation? Arrive at opening — 17:30 sharp for dinner — and you will generally be seated. By 19:00 in high season, you wait.
What You Eat
Ms Vy — Trịnh Diễm Vy, the third-generation Hoi An cook who opened the town’s first cooking school in 1994 — built the menu as a tour of central Vietnam done properly: cao lầu, Hoi An’s smoky pork-and-noodle signature, at 105,000₫; the crisp bánh xèo-style Hoi An pancake with grilled pork at 155,000₫; caramelised pork and shrimp in claypot at 235,000₫; seabass in caramel sauce at 335,000₫; and white rose dumplings from the same tradition the Original made famous. Sharing platters and a 1,250,000₫ tomahawk stretch the top end, but a full dinner still lands around $20–30 a head — Hoi An’s best cooking-to-bill ratio.
The Smart Play
Book a balcony table for 18:00, order the cao lầu and the claypot first, and watch the lanterns come on across the Hoài River. Do the Vy’s Market cooking class the next morning if the meal lands — same group, same recipes. The rest of the town’s tables are in our Hoi An dining guide, and the first-date list rates this room for exactly the evening you are imagining.

How much does dinner cost at Morning Glory Signature?
Standard mains run 105,000–450,000₫ and a generous dinner lands around $20–30 a head — sharing platters and the 1,250,000₫ tomahawk push higher. For the cooking on the plate, it is the best value table on the An Hội waterfront.
