Two Hoi An lunch choices at Com Ga Hoi An 5612
Our current menu highlights two familiar local lunch options: Hoi An chicken rice and Cao Lau. Each has a standard and a special portion, so you can compare the listed price and portion before ordering.
Hoi An chicken rice (Cơm Gà)
Choose chicken rice if you want a rice-based lunch with chicken and fresh accompaniments. At 5612, the shredded-chicken version is served with golden rice cooked using chicken broth and chicken fat, onion, Vietnamese coriander, sweet-and-sour shredded papaya, and a savoury chicken soup on the side.
The current listed price is 35,000 VND for the standard portion and 50,000 VND for the special portion. The special portion is larger and is the restaurant’s best seller. Check the Hoi An chicken rice dish page for the latest details, or read what Hoi An chicken rice is if you would like to learn more about the dish first.
Cao Lau
Choose Cao Lau if you would like a Hoi An noodle dish rather than a bowl of soup noodles. Our current version combines noodles with char siu pork, crispy wonton crackers, bean sprouts, herbs, fried shallots, peanuts and savoury sauce. Mix the ingredients so the sauce coats the noodles.
The current listed price is 35,000 VND for the standard portion and 50,000 VND for the special portion; the special is the larger serving. See the Cao Lau dish page for current menu information, or read our Cao Lau explainer for more context.
Compare the menu before you choose
Prices above were checked against the restaurant’s live dish pages on 22 October 2026. Menu details can change, so use the dish pages or the official menu for the latest information. When comparing restaurants, compare the same dish and a similar portion size; “standard” and “special” do not necessarily mean the same amount everywhere.
Com Ga Hoi An 5612 publishes its menu and prices on its own website. That makes it easier to decide what to order before travelling to the restaurant. The menu is the source for our own items only; it is not a price survey of other Hoi An restaurants.
How to choose a lunch place in Hoi An
- Start with the kind of meal you want. Decide between rice, noodles, a sandwich or shared plates before comparing restaurants.
- Check a current menu. Look for the exact dish and portion you plan to order, not just an old price quoted in a travel article.
- Check the route and access. Hoi An has pedestrian-only streets at certain times. Follow current signs and traffic guidance, and check the business’s directions before travelling.
- Confirm availability if your timing is tight. Menus and availability can change. Contact the restaurant through its official channel if you are making a special trip or need to order for a group.
- Check ingredients when needed. Ask the restaurant directly about ingredients if you have an allergy or dietary requirement.
