• Serene and Delicious Lunch Experience

I had a fantastic time visiting Karma Waters while on vacation in Hoi An. I was lucky that it was just a 10 minute walk from my hotel, so I went at lunch time. It wasn't busy at all inside, so I spent a long, leisurely lunch time there. The only downside to the decor is that the restaurant is open to the street (an indoor/outdoor living type atmosphere), so it can get hot. That being said, as someone who loved the heat of the tropics, I didn't mind! The outdoor chairs looked a bit more comfortable to me, so I simply propped myself by the fan and enjoyed the food. I ordered the carrot/apple/pear/mango juice, vegan pho, Vietnam stiry fry noodles, Vietnamese iced coffee, and banana pancakes. I thought the healthy juices with descriptions of the health benefits on the menu were a nice touch! The waitresses were lovely. The food takes some time to come after ordering, so I recommend bringing a book or a group of people to socialize. The aroma from cooking being done on site was so nice; I could smell lots of fresh ginger, garlic, and onions wafting through the restaurant. The food was very flavourful without being overpowering, to give a taste of Vietnamese food that everybody would enjoy. The portions were large and filling, but not heavy feeling in the stomach. The iced coffee and pancakes for dessert were delicious and perfectly sweet. I loved the overall healthy vibe of this place no MSG, sugar, alcohol, or smoking)! The only downside is the bathroom is a bit hard to find (it's away from the main restaurant, around the corner). Other than that, a great lunch experience for me!!!
