...then this would be your best bet within the Old Quarters in Hanoi City. As reviewed by others here, the food I had was good, the price not too much and the restaurant itself has its own character wether you are sitting inside or within the balcony area. The staff is pleasant and very helpful in explaining the food. Been... More

I ate two times at this restaurant. In the rating of tripadvisor I mis a point for good because this restaurant is neither average nor very good. The first time I ate at the first floor in the room but the second time outside on the balcony which was very nice. The food was good, the service adequate the price... More

We went for dinner at this restaurant the first night in Hanoi as it was opposite our hotel. Fantastic food and very friendly English speaking staff. We signed up for cooking class the next day which was $30 each with only 3 people in our class. For individual classes it was $35. Went to the market where we bought ingredients... More

Very nice staff and we had a lovely meal and experience on the balcony on the top floor (we read other reviews here that said it was nice.) Atmosphere is nice and so are the servers. End of May here is HOT, so the girl voluntarily brought out a fan for us to the balcony which greatly helped cool us... More

Had our last meal together in Hanoi in this great little restaurant and it sent us off feeling well pampered for a mid-range price ($40 feeds and waters 4 people, no problem). We can recommend the traditional Cha ca of seared fish in broth with herbs and vermicelli that arrives in a skillet on a bucket of hot coals that... More

The food is inexpensive and tasty here, but beer is on the high side co;pared with some other restaurants with similiarly priced food. Service effecient and friendly. A safe bet for the neighbourhood. Didn't have Hanoi "local" beer (450 ml bottle, 4.2% Alcohol my favourite in Hanoi, the export is technically better, more alcohol - 4.9% IIRC, hoppier and maltier,... More

Finally had Bun Cha - which was yummy, with the staff showing me how to eat. We went to Restaurant 96 on our last night in Vietnam. We all enjoyed good meals - good range on the menu. We sat upstairs.

I visited this restaurant a year ago and promised the owner a review. I'm a tad late but honestly we still talk about how great the food was. We actually visited it twice on our stay in Hanoi. Both times we enjoyed the hotpot of fish and chicken. It was so fresh and flavourful!! I still salivate thinking about it.... More

We loved this restaurant for a number of reasons. The staff are brilliant and very friendly, the young lady that served us was very helpful at making suggestions and showing us how to construct the Bun cha rolls. The cocktails were great and ultimately the food was a very high standard. I would recommend getting a table up stairs as... More

We ate here twice whilst in Hanoi, and had great meals both times. Prices are perhaps a little more expensive for Vietnam but its still very reasonable. Definately reccomend the Bun Cha and the Sea Bass steamed in banana leaf - along with a cocktail or 2! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Ask to sit upstairs.
