Why it matters
Why Little Faifo is worth your time
The menu sticks to local dishes rather than a general international list, based on the items Your Vietnam Travel names. For visitors who want a seated, unhurried meal in the Old Town, it is a plain option.
Its value for mixed groups is the meat-free choices alongside the grilled pork. Families with one or two non-meat-eaters can sit together without splitting up. Check the menu for the dishes named here before you commit, since sources may lag the kitchen, and confirm hours on the day.

How to experience it
The menu leans on Hoi An cooking. Your Vietnam Travel names grilled pork in banana leaves and Hoi An-style wontons, and notes several meat-free choices, without saying which dishes they are.
Ask the staff to point out the meat-free items and to say what stock or sauce each one uses. For a family meal, a plate of wontons to share and a grilled dish gives a good sample without ordering too much.
The kitchen cooks meat and likely fish sauce, so strict vegetarians and Jains should treat it as a mixed restaurant and explain their needs. Book a table for dinner and ask for one away from the street if noise bothers anyone.
