It tastes very good as everybody said. It served with rice noodle and nuoc mam, the meat was marinated wonderfully but when i went to the wc and i saw thier kitchen, i was shocked! Be aware if you have a stomach problem! but anyway, it still worth a try

I agree that Bun Cha is a typical food in Viet Nam, especially in the North. Every time I go to Viet Nam for business trip, it is what I usually enjoy, besides PHO. You should pay around 30.000 VND if you eat in a normal diner and around 50.000-70.000 VND if enjoy in high-class restaurant.

My husband and I ate here in March on a friend's recommendation. We are traveling on a backpacker's budget, so we have been mostly eating in street stalls or family run shop houses. This place had the look of a shop house, but the prices are akin to a tourist restaurant! We paid about twice what we expected too. There... More

When I was in Vietnam, Bun Cha is actually the most delicious food there. It tastes like Barbecue, but in Vietnamese traditional way :). I also love its sour fish sauce called "mam" which lets Bun Cha melting in your mouth. It is amazing!!! I can say for certain that Bun Cha is must - try food in Vietnam.

We tried this place thinking bun cha was a must do in Hanoi, but we were disappointed, and left wondering what the fuss was about. The food was average - the pork balls were nice, but not exceptional, and the broth was bland. As others have said, the portions are way too large for the amount of people they are... More

After my huge disappointment with my Pho experience I switched to Bun Cha at a variety of locales, and they were all much tastier and more satisfying then was Pho. The pork bits were seasoned and had a mild kick from being grilled and not just boiled.

I love the way pork meat marinated and grilled in charcoals, and the sour fish sauce and the fresh rice noodle, so yummy. The best Bun Cha is on the sidewalk of Hanoi. Only one thing is that you can smell of Bun Cha even 2 hours later after eating this meal :-). The smell can sticks in your clothes... More

Bun cha, a typical food of Hanoi, is so good. I have it every week. There are many Bun cha places in Hanoi, especially at Hai Ba Trung district

Tried this place based on positive reviews. The ladies were friendly with my toddler except they kept passing her food dropped on the ground despite my refusals. The meal was OK but the crappy part was I was ridiculously overcharged (double), paid reluctantly then wasn't even given correct change back as the girl disappeared with my 200 000 vnd! When... More

We tried this place after reading the reviews. Firstly, this place is not that clean. They recycle the salad leaves and herbs for your meal. Secondly, the food was not that great but good if you're not from Vietnam. There is tastier Bun Cha elsewhere in Hanoi which we had. I will see if I can find the address of... More
