Best Mi Quang in Hoi An: 19 Local Spots, Prices & Opening Hours (2026)
Best Mi Quang in Hoi An: 19 Local Spots, Prices & Opening Hours
The best mi Quang in Hoi An is sold from plastic stools and alley kitchens, and most of it is gone before 11 am. Here are 19 places locals actually eat at, sorted by when they sell, with addresses, prices and Google ratings.
Mi Quang is the noodle dish of Quang Nam, and Hoi An is where it is eaten the way it was meant to be: for breakfast, on the pavement, with a rice cracker crushed over the top. The catch for visitors is timing. Almost every stall that locals rate highest sells out before eleven, and after lunch the choice shrinks to a handful of sit-down shops. This guide is organised around that — morning-only stalls first, then the evening and all-day options — so you can pick a place that is actually open when you are hungry.

What mi Quang is — and how to eat it
Mi Quang comes from Quang Nam province, the countryside around Hoi An. It began as a farmer’s dish — wide rice noodles tinted yellow with turmeric, a small ladle of intensely flavoured broth, whatever protein the family had (pork and shrimp are the classic pairing, chicken is the other favourite), then roasted peanuts, a heap of herbs and banana blossom, and a sesame rice cracker. Today it is the everyday breakfast of the region.
- It is not a soup. The broth only coats the noodles. First-timers often think the vendor forgot to fill the bowl — that is the correct amount.
- Mix everything before the first bite. Herbs, peanuts, broth and noodles all turned over together.
- Crush the rice cracker in. Or use pieces of it as a spoon. Without it you have half a dish.
- Green chilli and lime, not bottled sauce. Ask for ớt xanh — crushed fresh green chilli — if it is not on the table.
- Order a second bowl. Bowls are smaller than pho; locals routinely eat two.
- Before 9 am or after 4:30 pm. The single most important rule. Between noon and mid-afternoon almost no street stall is still serving.
The good mi Quang stalls in Hoi An have no sign worth photographing. Look for the one where every plastic stool is taken by locals.
Morning stalls — most sell out by 11 am
The largest group and, for most locals, the best one. They open around six or seven, sell out before or around eleven, and take no reservations. Most have no English menu — point at the pot, hold up fingers for the number of bowls.
Mi Quang Co Nam — 40/1 Tran Trung Tri
Down a small alley with no real sign and almost entirely local breakfast trade. The broth is thick, fragrant and just enough to soak the noodles; pork and shrimp are well marinated, and the bowl comes with herbs, peanuts and a crisp cracker. Twenty thousand dong for a full bowl is hard to find anywhere in Hoi An now — arrive early because it goes fast.
Mi Quang Co Sau — corner of Thai Phien & Nguyen Hue
Low plastic stools right at the kerb — Hoi An as it was before the lanterns. Soft noodles that hold their bite, a rich, slightly fatty broth, pork, quail eggs, peanuts and rice cracker. No air-conditioning and no English menu, which is exactly why it is worth the visit.
Mi Quang Co Bay — pavement at 03 Nguyen Hue
A small stall right on the edge of the Old Town, easy to find, with both chicken and pork-and-shrimp bowls. Firm chicken, aromatic broth, fresh herbs, grilled rice cracker, lime and chilli on the side. Its location means it gets crowded at the morning peak.
Mi Quang Ga Bay Tinh (Hiep Duc style) — Ton Duc Thang
Chicken mi Quang only, in the style of the Hiep Duc district inland — Google lists it as “My Quang Ga – Bay Tinh” on Ton Duc Thang. Soft noodles, a shallow but deeply flavoured broth, and chicken either shredded or in chopped pieces. Plain surroundings — a place to eat after a walk, not to linger.
Mi Quang Di Hat — 4 Thai Phien
This vendor used to sell from a shoulder-pole stall on Phan Chau Trinh and has moved to Thai Phien street, beside Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School. Turmeric-yellow noodles, seasoning that is exactly right, and a bowl that is always full. If you follow the old address in other articles you will not find her. Google shows the family’s stall at 4 Thai Phien under the name “Cao lau Di Hat 55 nam” with evening hours, so check on the day which service is running.
Mi Quang Ba Linh — Phan Chau Trinh street
Nothing fancy, but the steel tables are always wiped and the place does not smell of old broth — something regulars mention. Bowls are not huge but well filled with meat and herbs. The extra here is banana blossom for crunch.
Mi Quang Ba Minh (Ngoc Thanh) — 61 Street 18/8
The riverside stall locals simply call “Ba Minh” — Google lists it as Mi Quang Ba Minh (Ngoc Thanh) at 61 Street 18/8, by the Thu Bon river. The most-reviewed morning stall in this guide and the most generous bowl; it closes by half past ten, earlier when the pot runs out. If in doubt, ask anyone nearby — everyone knows it.
Mi Quang Cung — 390 Cua Dai
On the road out to Cua Dai beach, so a natural breakfast stop on the way to An Bang or Cua Dai. Fifty reviews and every one of them five stars; open only four hours a day, so go before your beach morning, not after.
Mi Quang Co Sinh — alley 170/5 Ly Thuong Kiet
Tucked down an alley off Ly Thuong Kiet and one of the few stalls in this group still serving after noon. Well rated by locals and a good fallback if you slept through the 9 am rule.
Minh Quang Noodle — 268 Hung Vuong
“Mi Quang – Cao Lau MINH, since 1980” says the sign. A proper shop with tables rather than a pavement stall, on the Hung Vuong road towards Thanh Ha; both of Hoi An’s noodle dishes under one roof, open through lunch.
Evening and late-night mi Quang
This is the big gap in Hoi An mi Quang: hardly anyone sells it after midday. If the craving hits in the evening there are two places — one on the edge of the Old Town, one on the corner of Ly Thuong Kiet.
Mi Quang Ba Tung — pavement at 03 Nguyen Hue
The same pavement at 03 Nguyen Hue where Co Bay sells in the morning, but this is the afternoon shift: Ba Tung sets up around half past four and sells until the pot is empty. The sign lists both mi Quang and cao lau; plastic tables line the yellow wall a few minutes’ walk from the Japanese Bridge, so it is easy to find on your way out of the Old Town. The bowl is proper pavement style — yellow noodles, pork, quail eggs, a big heap of herbs and a whole grilled rice cracker broken over the top. The best place to eat mi Quang before the lantern walk.
Ba Tung at 03 Nguyen Hue — the sign lists mi Quang and cao lau; open from 4:30 pm.
Quan Co Hat (Mi Quang Hat) — 150 Ly Thuong Kiet
On the corner where Ly Thuong Kiet meets Pham Hong Thai — Google lists it as “Mi Quang Hat” at 150 Ly Thuong Kiet — and its great virtue is that it sells from 6 pm until nearly midnight, hours when every other mi Quang stall in town packed up long ago. Good for a late dinner, or after a walk through the Old Town when you have not eaten.
Quan Co Hat on the Ly Thuong Kiet – Pham Hong Thai corner — not the same stall as Di Hat.
Open all day: sit-down shops
These have a roof, a menu and hours that run past lunch. They cost more than the pavement stalls and are the safe choice if you arrive in Hoi An at noon.
Mi Quang 92 — 112A Tran Cao Van
Pricier than the stalls, but open all day with chicken, beef and pork-and-shrimp versions. Chewy noodles and a broth cooked to a family recipe. The highest-rated mi Quang in Hoi An on Google and the safe bet when the morning stalls have packed up.
Mi Quang Ong Hai — 6A Truong Minh Luong
Running for more than ten years and the name foreign visitors mention most. Thin flat-cut noodles, a strong broth and finely sliced, well-marinated pork. Bougainvillea pots out front make the seating airier than the pavement stalls, and the long hours make it the easiest place on this list to fit into a day.
Mi Quang Bich — 272 Hung Vuong
Further out than the others, but with room to sit and noodles prepared by Co Bich herself. If you are visiting Thanh Ha pottery village, this is the bowl on your way.
Quan Muoi Mi Quang Cao Lau — 80 Hai Thuong Lan Ong
A family shop on Hai Thuong Lan Ong that serves mi Quang and cao lau from breakfast to dinner — handy if your group cannot agree on which noodle to try.
Mi Quang Co Tam — 210 Ly Thuong Kiet
A small, well-rated shop on Ly Thuong Kiet with some of the longest hours on this list. Pork-and-shrimp is the one to order.
Mi Quang Co Mai — 470 Hai Ba Trung
Out on Hai Ba Trung on the western side of town — worth it if you are staying around Thanh Ha or riding in from Da Nang, less so from the Old Town.
Quan Co Be Mi Quang Cao Lau — 131 Cua Dai
On the Cua Dai road between the Old Town and the beach, open until 9 pm with both mi Quang and cao lau. The all-day counterpart to Mi Quang Cung a little further along the same road.
Getting between the stalls
The nineteen places here are spread from Thanh Ha to Cua Dai road, up to about 5 km apart. Walking only works if you stay in the centre and pick one stall — Co Bay, Ba Tung (03 Nguyen Hue) and Ba Linh (Phan Chau Trinh) are all within walking distance of the Old Town.
Anh Khoa Hoi An — 84 Phan Chau Trinh
Our shop sits on the ring road around the Old Town, a few minutes’ walk from the 03 Nguyen Hue pavement. Rent in the morning, do a breakfast loop and drop the bike back — no extra hours charged. Free delivery to hotels in the centre, helmets and raincoats included.
- Electric bikes and 50cc scooters — no licence needed, enough for every stall in this guide. See electric bikes.
- Bicycle — flat roads, cool mornings, cheapest option. Bicycle rental.
- Still hungry? — try cao lau, Hoi An’s other signature noodle, or browse what to eat in Hoi An.

Where is the best mi Quang in Hoi An?
For pavement-stall mi Quang, locals rate Co Nam (40/1 Tran Trung Tri, 20,000₫) and Co Sau (Thai Phien – Nguyen Hue corner) highest, but both sell mornings only. For a sit-down bowl open all day, Mi Quang 92 at 112A Tran Cao Van is the highest-rated mi Quang shop in Hoi An on Google.
What time should I eat mi Quang in Hoi An?
Before 9 am if you want the full choice — it is the local breakfast, and the best stalls open around 6–7 am and sell out before or around 11 am. In the evening, Ba Tung at 03 Nguyen Hue sets up at 4:30 pm and Quan Co Hat at 150 Ly Thuong Kiet sells from 6 pm until late.
Is there any mi Quang in Hoi An in the evening?
Yes, two stalls. Mi Quang Ba Tung on the pavement at 03 Nguyen Hue, on the edge of the Old Town, sells from 4:30 pm until sold out. Quan Co Hat (Mi Quang Hat) at 150 Ly Thuong Kiet, on the Pham Hong Thai corner, sells from 6 pm until about midnight. Mi Quang 92 (112A Tran Cao Van) is open until 8 pm and Mi Quang Ong Hai (6A Truong Minh Luong) until 9 pm.
How much does a bowl of mi Quang cost in Hoi An?
From about 15,000₫ to 50,000₫ depending on the place and toppings. Pavement stalls that sell in the morning charge 20,000–25,000₫; sit-down shops open all day, such as Mi Quang 92, charge 35,000–45,000₫.
Is mi Quang a soup?
No. Mi Quang is served with only a small amount of concentrated broth that coats the turmeric rice noodles. If your bowl looks under-filled compared with pho or bun bo, that is how it is meant to be — mix everything together and crush the rice cracker in.
Is mi Quang spicy or gluten-free?
It is not spicy by default; you add crushed green chilli to taste. The noodles are rice-based, but broths and marinades may use soy or fish sauce with additives, so if you are strictly gluten-free ask the vendor before ordering.
Are Quan Co Hat and Mi Quang Di Hat the same place?
No. They share a name but not an owner or an address. Quan Co Hat (Mi Quang Hat, 150 Ly Thuong Kiet) is on the Pham Hong Thai corner and sells in the evening; Mi Quang Di Hat is at 4 Thai Phien beside Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School, having moved from her old spot on Phan Chau Trinh.
What is the best way to visit several mi Quang stalls?
By electric bike or 50cc scooter — the stalls are spread up to 5 km apart and the pavement ones have no parking issue. Anh Khoa Hoi An at 84 Phan Chau Trinh delivers bikes free to hotels in the centre; rent in the morning, do a breakfast loop and return the bike, with no extra hours charged.
Updated September 2026 by Anh Khoa Hoi An, 84 Phan Chau Trinh (added the evening stalls and Google ratings). These are family stalls, not chains — prices, hours and even locations change without notice; figures are what we recorded at the time of update (the 30,000–50,000₫ band for the sit-down shops dates from our early-2026 visit), so confirm at the stall. Hoi An has been a ward of Da Nang city since the July 2025 merger of Quang Nam province. Vietnamese version: 12 quán mì Quảng ngon nhất Hội An.
