Great Vietnamese food. Kitty showed us how to eat the dishes like the Vietnamese pancake and bun Cha. The chicken spring rolls they recommended were one of the best as well. Definitely recommend as a good place to try a couple of good Vietnamese dishes with a hospitable host

Simple and unassuming restaurant in the Old Quarter with very good service and good food. I was served by Kitty and she was very nice and friendly. She explained the food well, taught me how to wrap and prepare the food. She even gave me tips on the places nearby that I can check out.

This restaurant was excellent on all accounts. Our server Finn was attentive, sweet and helpful. We are travelling from Australia so he even showed us how to eat the food properly. The pork belly with quail egg was beautifully tender and succulent with a lovely broth. The pork belly pancake was light, fresh and filling. The traditional fried pork was also flavourful. The five spice beef stir fry was soft, chewy and full of flavour. Our drinks were also excellent; I’d personally recommend the coconut coffee. Overall, a must-try restaurant in Hanoi with great service and refined flavours.

Here for their fried fish. Been eating beef and pork for the past few days. Fresh fish and greens. Miss Thanh attended to me. Friendly lady, speaks good English. She even showed me how to wrap my food with rice paper. I thought i just eat direct from the plates. Definitely taste better and feels more like authentic Hanoi food when u wrap with rice paper. Disposable gloves available upon request. Helps in handling the food by hand. Overall, pleasant experience and I enjoyed my lunch.

Hello, I'm a Korean tourist. The restaurant was really neat and the food was delicious. Especially, the employee HOA kindly explained everything, so I was able to eat it deliciously. Thank you very much for your nice treatment during the trip.

An medium size restaurant, right at the old quarter but it's so cozy, warm welcome and greatest Vietnamese foods ever made us happy and feel like home. Thank you so much the young man owner and his staffs give us the best service when we are to Hanoi. We will come back more and more time and highly recommend to our friends. Top hospitality for dining in Hanoi that you can't miss it.

I rate a 4 rather than the 5 star it has received mainly for the food. The tastes are good, but not excellent. If you’re struggling for choice definitely give it a go as it is reliable, good service, location, and variety. But the food itself is above average not excellent.

Noah was extremely helpful. Being a vegetarian person, I ordered a vegetable pho and king oyster sauce mushroom with rice. Both of them were extremely flavourful and tasty. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try authentic Vietnamese food. The portion sizes are big too.

Don’t trust the reviews on here. Customers are asked to give 5 stars reviews and praise the servers. Our server came prepared with a QR code so it could directly take us to their google page to leave a positive review. The food itself was average, it was okay; however the prices were astronomical. You can definitely eat somewhere nicer for those prices. That place is only filled with tourists. No locals dine in there. I would have given it 4 stars but the whole pressure of leaving a 5 star ruined the experience at the end.

Definitely get the vietnamese pancake, the beef rolls with betel leaves, and fried fish as they are amazing on their own but go great with the vegetables and rice paper. Mango salad was nice and refreshing. Spring Rolls with shrimp had very small shrimp 😔. Morning Glory was not as garlicky and spicy as I would like. Overall, I really enjoyed this dinner experience and the great service from the staff is something to note!

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious without being pretentious. Our server, Tung, provided spot on recommendations in terms of variety and portion for 9 people, ensuring we were well taken care of. The standout dish for me was the Vietnamese pancake. A delightful culinary adventure overall!

Excellent end for our first day in Vietnam. Good food, extremely helpful servers. I tried the fresh spring rolls and betel leaves stuffed with meat (pork), and really enjoyed it. Will definitely come back next time

I was quick to be seated. Food came a little late but they apologized immediately. Noah was a great server and spoke English decently well. Chicken and cashew stir fry was really good.

The food is super delicious. Its high quality, looks very clean and safe to eat. Restaurant have many places inside so you don't have to sit in the street. Wifi included :) staff is super friendly and help you with recommending dishes, in our case he also guides us through the first time for us experience of rolling the rice paper dishes. Must eat in Hanoi, you will not be disappointed at all. Plus it's traditional kitchen!

Clearly the best place to eat in Hanoi! Tried Buncha for the first time and totally loved it! Simply also vietnamese pancakes are delicious. Most of our meals here have been great! Special mention to the young serves during the evening hours and Thanh during the noon who made our meal special by extra ordinary hospitality and service

Food was amazing and service was impeccable! Special shout out to Noah who took time to explain / recommend some of their signature dishes to us and even showed us how to wrap a rice paper roll (the Vietnamese way)! Will definitely recommend this place to whoever that is keen to try some local delicacy 🇨🇳❤️

Noah our waiter was so attentive. He explained thoroughly and gave a demonstration on how to make the Pork crispy rice rolls. My curry was beautiful also and we had the best vegetable spring rolls we have ever had here!

We found this restaurant near our stay and we tried. I would say the best restaurant in the entire Hanoi 😍 I tried Hanoi traditional fried pork and Nem Ran Hong Hoai. Both were outstanding. A fun part of having Hanoi traditional fried pork was our waiter Noah who taught us how to make a roll with the ingredients. He was amazing with his skill and it was really fun! Also tried Coconut coffee. It was too good! I would recommend going to Hong Hoai's when visiting Hanoi. 😍

Amazing restaurant! We came and did the egg coffee making class! And it was awesome, highly recommend coming here and we also got some free spring rolls too! It was only £10 each or 290,000dong roughly. The staff were really friendly and super informative with making the egg coffee

This unassuming eatery tucked between other shops along the street, was the first meal when i arrived in Hanoi. And this place didnt disappoint! Stir fried pork was fragrant and paired v well with the veges wrapped in rice paper and rice noodles. Hit this place up if u are peckish or want to feast! Its worth it. Also service was great with Finn being v friendly and attentive!

Overall, we had a good experience at Hong Hoai restaurant in Hanoi. We saw the high reviews online and decided to give it a try. The food was delicious. The pork wrapped in betel leaf was very tasty and flavorful. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Our server even showed us how to wrap the food to eat, which was a fun experience. However, there were a few things that could be improved. The carrot juice with ginger was very watery and had little taste. Additionally, we were not impressed with the fact that the restaurant asked us to scan a code and write a review at the end of our meal. It felt like a pushy way to get more reviews, and it took away from our overall dining experience.

Easy 5 stars. Food actually looks like it does on menu. Modestly priced eats. Friendly staff. Good quality food. This visit had the tomato soup and croutons. Lovely tomato flavour. Thick without being lumpy. Warmed up a cold winters day.

Had come here for a cooking class where Katie taught us how to make an egg coffee. She was very kind, patient and an expert teacher. Answered all my questions related to coffee making. Turned out to be one of the best egg coffees in Hanoi! Best part was that we could customise the coffee as per our taste. Surely recommend to take up the cooking classes here.

Its our second day in Vietnam and we found this restaurant, the stuff recommended us food and we tried it and I was so surprised. The taste was amazing!! I will come for sure again! One of the stuff showed us how to eat it and another one, her name was Hao, recommended us many nice places, food and what we should try in Vietnam. So all in all food is tasty, stuff is nice and atmosphere is also good. You really should visit it

Staff were very friendly and spoke English and Hieu even taught us how to wrap the rolls! Loved the Vietnamese pancake and fried spring rolls 😋 prices are reasonable, highly recommend

A homely cafe serving authentic Vietnamese food at reasonable prices. Kitty the manager is extremely hospitable and happy to share with us about the different dishes. Two thumbs up for both service and food. You have to try the Vietnamese pancake cha ca (fish) and mango salad. Can give it a miss on the fresh spring roll and pho bo. There are better ones out there.

We were actually recommended this restaurant by some staff at another restaurant and wow, what a recommendation! This is a super restaurant and their cooking class is simply unbeatable. Good market tour, explanations, stories and knowledge all served with an excellent sense of humour. We were there for over 4 hours, ate an enormous amount of delicious food and still had more to take home in a doggy bag - all cooked by us! They have an excellent menu to choose from and their fresh juices and coconut coffee is to die for. Go there!

The staff is really friendly and they explain everything with details and recommend you what to eat and how to eat it. The food was delicious!! And for a good price. The place has air conditioning, which is VERY important. Amazing restaurant!

This place has been a great surprise. The food was amazing and the service the best we had in Vietnam so far. They also have very low prices: 384.000d for 1 starter, 2 main courses and 4 beers. I would certainly go back! Well done guys!

The food was great! Decent variety of vietnamese food. Loved the bun cha, pork with betel leaves and vietnamese pancake with chicken. We were served by Tee who was friendly and patient. Do give the place a try.

Reached around 6.15pm on a Friday evening. Ordered the bun cha, cha ca, chicken pancake, pork with betel leaves, and the caramelized pork. The food was pretty good and we were very satisfied. Tee spoke fluent English and is very professional, instructing us on the best way to eat each dish. He is also very approachable and friendly. Highly recommended

Absolutely delicious! Fresh and clean. Highly recommend the Bun Cha and Beef in Betel leaf. As an added bonus, they are aware of gluten - so Coeliac safe.

Finn was patient and demonstrated to us how to eat the Vietnamese pancake. The braised pork with quall egg and Vietnamese style chicken curry was unique. Overall very tasty food and excellent service.

Lots of good google reviews, so we decided to it out. Good food, good service ( especially Hieu). They can speak some English too. Overall a pleasant experience!

The food is great. The price is reasonable. Love the traditional fried pork and fried fish. Thanks Tee for teaching us how to use the rice paper. He is nice quick and helpful.

This restaurant is 10/10, It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, good Vietnamese food. Noah was extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming, they have got a good number of dishes for vegetarian aswell, highly recommend them 👍

10/10! Best Pho I’ve ever had. And the fried vegetarian spring rolls were amazing! Excellent vegetarian/vegan menu as well. And special shout out t our waiter Finn. You rock dude. Thank you!

We googled this place and saw the reviews but also photos and knew we had to try. It really did not disappoint. My husband got the fried pork and I got the beef in the 5 seasons and it was really so delicious. Noah was our waiter and he was so kind, helpful and fun. Definitely recommend.

Great value for money. Food was delicious, service was prompt, and staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. As a bonus, if you're a foreigner, you'll appreciate that the waitress is fluent in English.

My wife and I came here during our stay in Hanoi. Everything was fantastic! Our server Finn was very welcoming, very prompt and extremely friendly. Our food was also delicious! Everything was high quality and we would definitely come back! Highly recommend!

Very friendly service! Finn was amazing and very helpful showing us how to eat the traditional food. Quality of food was great, good portions and great price. Highly recommend!

Came here as our friend is Gluten Free and they have many options. Tung was great in helping point out recommendations for us. Food was good, would recommend the Southern Fried Noodle dish. Great presentation

After 3 weeks in Vietnam and also a bit tired of the same seasonings and food I was having lately, Hong Hoai’s was a very good surprise. I ate vegetable spring roll and caramelized belly pork, both very delicious. The server was also super friendly and nice.

Ordered Bun Cha and it's one of the best choices of food I made in Hanoi! I love the unique experience of wrapping my own Bun Cha in the paper rice sheet! Get creative with the way you wrap the lettuce, mint, cilantro and grilled pork meat. Either way, you'll get a yummy bite-size roll filled with flavours!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Staff Noah helped us to find a seat when we needed a ground floor seat for 4 and it was crowded. Another staff even explained how to eat the dish when we looked a bit confused.

The tranditional fried pork is one of the recommended dishes. The staff demonstrates how to wrap it with a rice paper and make it become a spring roll. Staff can speak fluent English and is very nice.

Delicious food. We came here for vegan food and ordered the Veg spring rolls, the tofu vegetable curry and the tofu and Eggplant. The tofu and eggplant tasted quite fishy, which we didn’t love however it was a nice dish. The spring rolls and the vegetable tofu curry were absolutely amazing and delicious! Especially with the tasty sticky rice!

Superb!!! Everything from the freshest delicious ingredients, the flavors and the service were outstanding. It was our favorite meal in 10 days in Vietnam, and it had some stiff competition! Outstanding, and highly recommended.

A little over rated in terms of food, but the service was on point. The meal was enjoyable but not worth any hype, there are better places to get authentic flavour for sure. They have a really nice seating area and a top floor window overlooking the main street below which is nice. Go for the service, prices are high so order a small amount of food.

Awesome! Delicison food, great experience. Recommend the beef/pork rolls which you roll for yourself based on their instructions.

Had a banh xeo pancake here. Was crispy and tasty; the lady there showed us the correct way to eat them with rice paper (I've been eating them the wrong way it!). They also do cooking classes here but unfortunately we didn't have time to try them. The venue is clean and the service is friendly, definitely worth a visit.

The food was excellent! Ms. Kitty was very kind and helpful, she taught me how to fold the rolls. She’s always smiling and running around to get orders. The place is also very clean. And good price indeed!

We loved it! Very cheap and the staff was very friendly, especially Zin. The food was delicious, the portions were big and the service was fairly quick for a busy restaurant. We will definitely come back in the coming days. Would recommend!

One of the best places we’ve been in Hanoi. Loved the Bun Cha! Rabbit, our waiter, was very helpful and recommended dishes and places to visit around! I’ll definitely come back!

Met here with a few friends and had a great time. We were served by Noah, who was absolutely fantastic. He had a great sense of humor and made us all feel at home. He demonstrated how to roll our own beef rolls and described all the best items on the menu. We also asked him a few questions about the Vietnamese language and he happily gave us a short lesson on how the Vietnamese alphabet works. He really made this evening great. The food was pretty good too. Pho was acceptable but not the best I've had. The spring rolls were really good.

We came here to do an egg coffee making class, it was definitely a fun morning and would 100% recommend doing it. Thanh was so welcoming and made the experience fun & enjoyable. Our coffee art wasn’t as good as Thanh’s but our own egg coffee was tasty. We also got some vegetarian spring rolls at the end of the class as well.

Try the meat rolled in betel leaf. Yum! It’s a wrap that comes with lettuce, herb leafs, rice noodle that they will teach you how to wrap. Their coconut coffee is also unique as we have never tried anything like this. The staff is so so friendly too

Had some excellent beef pho, and fantastic service too, Tung did such a great job! Do drop by if you're in old town.

Tasty local food with signature egg coffee made my day. I enjoyed dining here not only because of the food but also the great service. The staff called Thanh was nice and helpful.

Ate here my first day in Vietnam. I had the Vietnamese pancake with beef and 2 local beers. The pancake was tasty and fresh. Lovely service from Tung, he gave me recommendations and showed me how to eat the dish. Definitely recommend this place:)

Our waiter Tung was super friendly! Food was delicious and affordable. We ordered the fried fish and the tofu with cashews - both fantastic.

One of the best restaurants in Hanoi! The food is delicious and staffs are very friendly too. One of the waiter - Tung is so helpful he even showed us how to eat the viet pancake and fried pork in a Vietnamese way. Definitely will come back again!

Bánh xèo was amazing! This was the first restaurant I went in and ate food after landing in Hanoi. The restaurant is clean and the service was also very good. The waitress was really kind and gave me great recommendations. The mango smoothie was also really good as well. I was just sad that I came here alone and could not order other food!!! 🌮🌯🥬🥒🥭🥤

Enjoyed a lovely meal here tonight. Thankyou to Noah for his attentive service and teaching me how to make my very own spring rolls. Will definitely come back again!

Hong Hoai is a small, quiet restaurant in the Old Quarter. Although it only has a few tables inside and out, the food is delicious and the staff are incredibly welcoming. My partner has the Vietnamese curry and I tried the Vietnamese pancake which our waiter Noah took the time to show us how to build and eat correctly. He was very attentive and friendly, offering us recommendations of other things to do whilst in Hanoi. I would highly recommend coming here. I will be back again myself!

We loved the food and the service here. The delicious dishes were presented artistically and quickly. The prices were also reasonable. When asked, Tung recommended great dishes and demonstrated how to wrap the pancakes. He also spoke English well and was courteous. This was an excellent dining experience for our last night in Hanoi. Thank you, Hong Hoai restaurant!

The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere. Our server Tung was quite polite and helped us with our food selection as we had little knowledge about Vietnamese food. We had a yummy meal and was quite satisfied with the food. Would definitely recommend this restaurant - 10/10.

Owner could speak in English so that I could order anything I expected. There are 4pices spring role but he help to offer two spring roles. this chicken cashnats is taste good to me.

Food is great. Would recommend the pork wrapped with betel nut leaves and Vietnamese veg curry. Noah was very friendly and helpful in giving recommendations. Had a great meal here.

Delicious food. The crepe with chicken was the best. I like all the greens they give to add into the pho and crepe. Tung was a great server. That crepe was honestly the best thing I ate in town. I would go back.

Amazing food! Would 100% recommend to anyone. Get the make it yourself rice paper roles and spring rolls! Our waiter Noah was great, very kind and made the above food recommendations. Best dinner we've had in Hanoi

Really love the food. The wrapping of meat and veggies is so fun. The vibe of the restaurant is so chill on a summer day. Our server, Tung was so attentive.

Tasty food and drinks at fair prices. The ambient is nothing special, typically for Vietnam with AC to get a break from the heat😅. Kudos to Finn for his attentive service 🤗. Definitely worth another visit!

Service is excellent! Our server FINN is always smiling and accommodating and knows good english! Food is okay especially the shrimp with cashew!

A delicious, simple and affordable meal. We enjoyed our first meal in Hanoi here and we have to say, this restaurant kicked off our love for traditional vietnamese food here. The beef rolled with wild betel leaf was surprisingly filling as Noah showed us how to make a traditional roll. We also had the beef noodles and grilled pork set and loved the flavours. The coconut coffee is served iced and is a great way to beat the weather here. Of course, dont miss their egg coffee which is indulgent and a great way to end off your meal. Thank you to Noah for being so kind to us and explaining the meals well.

The ambience is simple and unpretentious. Flavors were fresh and diverse. The food was just amazing. Noah was friendly and accommodating even showing us how to prepare our bun cha! Do not miss a chance to eat here when you are in Hanoi!
