Morning Glory Original - Hoi An

Probably the best place in Hoi An old town for celiacs. The waitress we got read my translation card thoroughly, and was really knowledgeable about the ingredients of every dish. There are limited options because most of the dishes contain soy sauce or Knorr. However it was nice to have someone so confident and knowledgeable tell me what I could safely eat. I got the banh xeo and eggplant side dish.

First time we came here was so good, woman knew exactly what gluten free was no problem and adapted dishes. Came back again as it was so good, had 2 different waiters and they had not got a clue. Showed my gf card and still didn’t get it, kept going on about a nut allergy, very frustrating:

Staff very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Lots of options and the food was really good, would recommend especially as it's in a very central location. There's two, I went to the one not along the river but back one street on the other side of the river where all the shops and tailors are. Would recommend this one as the other one is in a bit more of a hectic area.

I came here with a larger group and we ordered a number of dishes family style. The waiting staff was patient and knowledgeable about which objects were gf. Although some dishes said they were gf they came back to the table to say they were not. Luckily, I hadn't eaten any of them yet. I eat the BBQ chicken with lime leaf and morning fame, they were very good. Here are some of the dishes ordered my table, which were NOT gluten-free: Hoi a crispy pancake with pork cheese, chicken and ingwerknödel, caramelized pig bell with five spice sauce, fish in caramel sauce and salad.

The waiter knew about dishes that were gluten-free. I had the tomato soap and shrimp curry and it was sooo good I recommend this place.
