🏡 General Introduction to Hat Soi Rice Eatery Da Lat
Hat Soi Rice Eatery is a lunch spot that has been widely promoted on social media platforms in Da Lat. With a rustic design, plenty of greenery, and a chill vibe, the place attracts many visitors. However, my actual experience on the afternoon of May 30, 2025 revealed several disappointing aspects.
📍 Restaurant Location – Frustrating to Find
- Address: 2/19 Khoi Nghia Bac Son Street, Ward 10, Da Lat
- Note: The location shown on Google Maps is inaccurate, making it time-consuming and frustrating to find, especially for first-time visitors.
✨ Restaurant Space – Beautiful and Spacious but Not Enough to Compensate
To be fair, the restaurant is well-designed, spacious, and airy. It’s suitable for those who enjoy taking photos or want a quiet meal close to nature.
- The restaurant was busy, but there weren't enough waitstaff and service was very slow
- I had to wait quite a while to be noticed, almost left due to hunger and being ignored
🍚 Food Review – Disappointing 5-Dish Lunch Combo
I ordered the 5-dish lunch combo for 55,000 VND, as advertised, and here’s my actual experience:
- White rice: Dry, poorly prepared, unappetizing at first glance
- Side dishes: A small amount of boiled vegetables, a few stir-fried greens, only 4 meatballs – though the meat was tasty, the portion was too small to be satisfying
- Did not feel full, nor did I feel the meal was as fulfilling as advertised

🔍 Comparison with Bep Cui Rice Eatery – My Usual Spot
If you've eaten at Bep Cui Rice Eatery – a consistently good rice spot in Da Lat – you’ll immediately notice the differences in:
- Cooking style and flavor
- More generous portions
- Better customer service
For the same price, Bep Cui offers a much more satisfying experience.
