Hoi An Old Town Originals Collection — From Banh Mi Phuong to Cao Lau
Vehicle access to Hoi An Old Town is restricted, so walking is the standard route; if your accommodation is far away, you can simply take a Grab taxi to the entrance. Famous old shops are quieter in the morning or early afternoon than in the evening. Most places accept cash (Vietnamese Dong), and prices are relatively reasonable for a tourist area.

Banh Mi Phuong
Bánh Mì Phượng
World-class Banh Mi highly praised by Anthony Bourdain. Even if the line is long, the turnover is fast so it moves quickly.
Madame Cain (Anti-American Queen)
Madam Khánh (The Banh Mi Queen)
An old banh mi shop that rivals Phuong. The grandmother makes the banh mi herself, and the line is usually shorter than at Phuong.
