    Excellent experience!! Hung and his people are amazing and the whole thing is perfect and worth every penny. They cook 11 dishes with the snake you choose and you have unlimited beers and snake wine included in price.

    First, please note that there are several restaurant spaces on the property. Contact Mr Dragon to ensure you go to the right place. Mr Dragon was an incredible host, he made all the requisite jokes about male virility while eating the still beating heart and drinking the rice wine with snake blood, he chatted with us, and made sure we were happy with our experience. We may not have enjoyed some of the dishes because they are contrary to our palettes, but we enjoyed the experience thoroughly. It is a one of a kind and once in a lifetime for us.

    Well went with the idea of grabbing an experience, came back with an unfadable memory. Yes yes I will navigate to the part you all are interested in, however first I earnestly need to introduce the owner, MR Dragon, never have I seen such a charming host. I contacted him well before a month of visiting and not only he responded to all my queries and doubts meticulously, but kept in mind my real date of visiting and helped with cabs and other relevant details. After I reached the restaurant, he cordially welcomed me and stayed with me for a considerable portion of the time telling about the family, how they raise the snakes and described each of the dishes in a nuanced manner. They can show you from the inception on how they take out the heart and if you are bold and adventurous enough, you can try the pure snake blood which is later an ingredient towards the snake wine. Being a solo traveler, he recommended a bamboo snake for me, however for a group of 4-5 or say for sole purpose of hotpot, maybe cobra is better. They served one by one snake spring roll, ribs, skin, bones, lever and snake wine served in a vessel bearing a fascinating shape. To be honest, I was a but surreptitious of the taste, but oh boy all the dishes were too delicious and the snake wine with apt percentage of alcohol acted just as the cherry on the cake. Price was a bit on the higher side as you have to the order the whole snake, so if you are a group of 3-4, maybe per person cost would be quite reasonable.

    This was those kind of a "once in a Life-Time experience"! We read an article about this restaurant and decided to go during our trip in Vietnam in mid-October and give it a try. The super attentive owner Dragon welcomed us very friendly and explained us about his restaurant, history, how and where he keeps the snakes, and how it has become an iconic and unique place in Hanoi. The cobra we ate was cooked in different ways and was delicious!! Open your mind and mouth and try it!😉 Thank you for your great, friendly and professional service! I totally recommend it if you visit Hanoi!!

    We had called up Mr. Dragon before visiting his restaurant. He helped us with the address to book the taxi. When arrived, he greeted us and our table was ready. He informed us about the snakes and the process. We choose the snake and they proceeded with the preparations. The food here is amazing, we finished everything just the two of us. Loved every dish which came to the table. Mr. Dragon is very nice and friendly person with lot of positivity within him. It was very nice to meet him. If you are in Hanoi, we recommend that you visit his place and make sure you call him beforehand so he keeps everything ready.

    Recently had an amazing experience at the Hung Snake Restaurant in Vietnam! Always dreamt of trying snake, and this place exceeded my expectations. Booked a table a week in advance and spoke with Dragon, the owner—a genuinely nice and funny guy. Opted for the best cobra based on his recommendation, and it was a fantastic choice. The cobra was brought to our table, played with for a bit, and then expertly cooked. From snake spring rolls to minced meat, snake fat with rice, intestines, and more—the flavors were delicious. Dragon's trust was well-placed; the positive Google reviews were spot on. Every dish was a delight, and the service was top-notch. The entire restaurant was impeccably clean. Thanks, Dragon, for an unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be back!

    Not for the faint of heart!! But insane crazy amazing experience! It’s 50 dollars for one snake which feeds about 4 and includes one bottle of vodka (small) U get snake blood and bile to drink! And one beating heart! It’s unexpected to say the least but amazing to see. Every part of the snake is prepared and used in a different way! Food is amazing and delicious and everyone is super friendly! Highly recommended when visiting Hanoi!!!!

    I spent two weeks in Vietnam and this was my favorite experience in the whole country! Dragon, our host, was so kind and accommodating. He described each snake that could be prepared for us and made very sure it was what we wanted (we chose cobra). We started with a shot of blood and bile, and my brother got to shoot the heart. We then enjoyed 10 preparations of the snake, each unique and delicious! After dinner, Dragon sat with us for a drink and we exchanged stories. 10/10 must experience!!!!!

    A must visit when in Hanoi. I traveled Vietnam solo and found out about The Hung Snake restaurant a few days before I left for the trip. I Facebook messaged the restaurant and had a reservation set up within a few hours. Dragon, the owner, met me when the restaurant opened at 10am and helped guide me through all the courses of the meal. Even though I was by myself, I wanted to try the cobra which is the top of the line and most expensive snake they offer. Generally it would be much cheaper per person, but I was traveling alone and I got a good size cobra for under $100US (enough food to feed a few people). Every course was delicious, but the grilled snake with lemongrass was my favorite. There were unlimited drinks included in the price, so I had a few beers, water, ginger tea, green tea, and snake wine. Dragon arranged a taxi to the airport for me after the meal. I would definitely recommend The Hung Snake to anyone looking for a unique and delicious experience in Hanoi.

    (Translated by Google) Unique experience! Never tried anything like this! Cobra (or another snake) is killed with you (humanely), then they take out a heart and give it to drink with vodka, as well as snake blood. Then they prepare and make 11 fresh dishes from snake spare parts, everything is very unusual, and it’s so delicious! The owner of the restaurant is a very interesting, open and pleasant person. Mr. Dragon, if you read, I once again wish you prosperity in business, I am glad that you and I have crossed paths on this small planet. (Original) Уникальный опыт! Никогда не пробовал ничего подобного! Кобру (или другую змею) убивают при Вас (гуманно), потом вынимают сердце и дают его выпить с водкой, как и змеиную кровь. Затем готовят и выносят 11 свежайших блюд из запчастей змеи, все очень необычно, при этом так вкусно! Хозяин ресторана - очень интересный, открытый и приятный в общении человек. Мистер Дракон, если ты читаешь - еще раз желаю тебе процветания в бизнесе, рад, что мы с тобой пересеклись на этой маленькой планете.

    There are two things that stands out for this place... 1st the experience of having a snake in 11 different forms and 2nd is the amazing host Dragon. The food and drinks are great. But what makes the whole experience special and memorable is Dragon. He is one jem of a host and will make sure you are having the best experience through out. This is a place I would definitely recommend to anyone who is up for the snake eating experience! 😃

    If you’re looking to try a snake, go no further. Great hospitality from Dragon, the owner of the restaurant! You get to choose the snake first and you can do so according to your budget. I believe there are choices for any budget ($20+). The meal includes unlimited amount of drinks (both soft and alcohol) and your snake will be prepared in 11 ways/dishes. You even get to eat the live heart of a cobra (if you choose it). Once in a lifetime experience!

    If you want to eat snake in Vietnam this is the place to go. The owner, Dragon, is a very nice and personable man. He explained to me the long history and practice of raising and cooking snakes in his village, and the methods and traditional health benefits of all the dishes they prepared, of which there were a wide variety. The food was delicious, different from anything I have eaten before. Drinks are also included free. The restaurant itself is on a beautiful property, almost like a country estate, with many trees. I enjoyed just sitting there for a while after the meal and appreciating the natural surroundings.

    It’s a once in a lifetime experience, even though if I ever come back to Vietnam, I would definitely visit The Hung again! Don’t know where to start from, we were warmly greeted by Dragon, who did everything possible to make us feel like we are at home. First we got water, beer and a bottle of Snake wine, which we thought we are going to just get a few shots from, but it turned out it was all for us, Woww! Than my husband got to play with a snake, I just couldn’t. Than we got snake dishes like spring rolls, snake egg soup, snake meat wrapped in a La Lot leaves and the fried snake bones with rice cracker, everything was so delicious. Dragon was keeping us company most of the time, getting us happily drunk, and being very funny. We even got to try the snake wine with snake blood, and the one with the snake bile as a treat from another very generous guest. We got to know a lot about Dragon and his family and their tradition of raising and cooking snakes, it’s pretty much a whole show if you come here with a group and order a whole snake, quite spectacular. To finish, I highly recommend the place, wish all the best to Dragon and his family and Hopefully see you again! 🐍

    I’m not a big fan of trying new food. I came because I wanted my boyfriend to have some company. I’ve gotta say, the ceremony was cool. They don’t push or make you watch it. I decided to try it. I loved the first dish (the one with the bones). I think it’s a good place to try it because the food is tasty and most of dishes don’t look like snake at all. Also, alcohol is included. You can pay only with cash.

    The Hung Snake Restaurant not only serves exceptional cuisine but also boasts the warmth of Dragon, its owner. Dragon's genuine hospitality elevates the dining experience, making you feel like family. His passion for the food and dedication to customers shine through, creating a memorable and welcoming atmosphere. Dining here feels like a culinary journey with a friend. 🐍🍽️👏

    If you are adventurous with the food, this is the right spot to go. Dragon, the owner, was very accommodating, he personally took me around the place, showed around, and, as I came alone, he spent the entire evening with me. He speaks English, so it is possible to have a nice conversation with him. The prices are not cheap, but you totally enjoy the experience. Definitely worth it. It is better to go with some other people, so you can share the food and the bill. Everything was very tasty, especially I loved the spring rolls and sautéed snake with veggies.

    You HAVE to go to this place This was amazing. Definitely a different experience but you will never get this anywhere else and it is 10/10 worth it. Dragon was a really cool guy, the snake was actually delicious and I’d go so far as to say it will go down as one of my favourite experience in my life. I’d say you haven’t really been to Vietnam unless you’ve been here. Review cannot do this place justice you must try it for yourselves. My boyfriend said he wanted to try Balut and dragon went and got some for us and it was amazing. Incredible value for money. We did it as a couple for lunch but best experience would be with a group for dinner because you get a lot of food and it is all delicious! We watched the snake being killed and it was terrifying for me as a girl but I am so glad I decided to watch because you’ll never see it again in your life unless you come here. They go all out for you, all drinks included. Cannot rate this place highly enough!

    While traveling solo in Hanoi, I was recommended to visit the village of Le Mat to try eating snake. I wasn't sure which restaurant to try, but I'm so glad it was this one. From the moment I stepped foot onto the restaurant grounds, I was met with nothing but warm hospitality. The owner (named Dragon) showed me around the facilities, letting me choose and hold the snake I wanted. He also let me watch them prepare it. The meal itself was great, with a variety of dishes to showcase the different ways you can prepare snake. He sat with me for a good chunk of time to chat, and answer any questions I had. It was a great way to spend the evening. If you're ever in Hanoi, you should make a stop here - it's only 20 minutes away from city central!

    (Translated by Google) Great place, ate a bamboo snake - for two the very thing :) 11 dishes at that price is a little pricey though. Also treated to snake wine and vodka :) the owner of the establishment is very good, we met and had a nice chat, a great guy. In general, the service is gorgeous compared to other institutions, I recommend) (Original) Отличное место, ели бамбуковую змею - на двоих самое то:) 11 блюд за такую цену- немного дороговато правда.

    came here for my birthday and Mr Dragon welcomed us and showed us to our table. He presented the concept and we felt assured the mountain snake was the right size/budget for us. It was all presented very well and must admit it is a life time experience! The free beer and snake wine is also a plus plus. The birthday cake was a special surprise :-)

    We are two brothers who arrived without a reservation and we’re kindly directed to a private room. We met with the owner “dragon” he was very polite and explained the meal process and the prices. The food was very delicious and dragon explained every meal and how to eat it. After the meal we sat with dragon and talked for a long time. Great meal and great atmosphere would recommend to everyone.

    Upon arrival to the restaurant, the owner was friendly to greet and explain about the menu. He recomend to visit the place with 2 to 4 people. The reason that you have to order a whole snake and price range from 50-100 usd depend on the type of snake you order. You can omit to watch them kill live snake in front of you as some people can not endure killing process. The snake will be prepare in 11 dishes and it was amazing. Highly recommend to try it especially the owner is friendly and passionate to share his cuisine to the guest.

    This truly is a once (or twice if you liked it as much as me) in a lifetime experience. Dragon is truly a wonderful person who works effortlessly to be a stellar host. I dined alone and was a little nervous that I might feel lonely/awkward but Dragon made me feel right at home as we shared pockets of our lives with each other. I wish I could give more than 5 stars <3

    What a fun experience. 1 snake, 11 dishes, many more stories. I couldn't speak more highly of the owner. So kind and made sure our entire night was enjoyable. Helped us to pick a snake and walked us through the whole process. This is easily a 3-4 person meal. As just 2 we were stuffed and left a good amount on the plate. Warning - snake wine is very strong.

The whole process of grabbing and killing the snake was amazing. The food was various and quite good. The scenery of this street was rather strange but the people were very nice. Overall it was an amazing feeling and I would recomend this rastaurant to everybody.

    Mr. Dragon or Ông Rồng is quite the mischievous prankster and also a showman, but was very helpful and informative through every step of the process for this very special evening. I wished for nothing less from an experience both steeped in rich history and also fraught with spectacle. We chose a cobra snake (the largest and highest price) because we wanted the full-throttle experience. It was presented to us and then quickly and professionally killed. We consumed it's heart and blood mixed with rice wine. We sat down at our table and drank some beers and nibbled on some vegetables while the first dishes were prepared. Before we could have imagined, they were ready and presented to us. Each dish was well crafted to highlight the snake meat uniquely so it was clear that this wasn't just some other protein in a stirfry for example. Mr. Dragon showed us how to eat each dish with the variety of sauces we were presented with, sometimes by feeding us with our own chopsticks! Very intimately personable! Eventually, we finished the meal and we were given a tour of the facility below and he called us a cab which he paid for himself ensuring that we got home safely. A class act the whole way, I cannot recommend this experience more highly.

    An absolutely amazing experience for my last night in Hanoi with a friend. Mr. Dragon was an amazing host, the meal was also one of the most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you want to try something new. All the dishes were prepared perfectly but I would recommend coming with a bigger group!

    Mr. Hung is a very friendly and knowledgeable man! He insured that my three friends and I had a wonderful experience. There are different types of snakes you can order and he made sure we clearly knew the prices and in no way made us feel pressured to get the most expensive king cobra. In the end we decided to go ahead and order the king cobra, and it came out in courses prepared different ways. It was simply delicious! Our meal also came with a bottle of the traditional snake whiskey, so it was a fun night! I would definitely stop by this restaurant if you are traveling in Hanoi

    (Translated by Google) We stayed here on our journey to discover Vietnam. The restaurant is very simple and typical. The owner, Mr. Dragon is a very nice person, available to talk about both his work and the food. He is really nice and very good at what he does. If you want to do the same, this is the right place. Highly recommended !!! (Original) Siamo stati qui durante il nostro viaggio alla scoperta del Vietnam. Il ristorante è molto semplice e tipico. Il proprietario, Mr. Dragon è una persona molto simpatica, disponibile a parlare sia del suo lavoro che del cibo. È davvero simpatico e molto bravo in quello che fa. Se volete fare altrettanto questo è il posto giusto. Consigliatissimo!!!

    Mr. Dragon is a funny man. Family has been in the snake business for 20+ years. Pricey, but lovely host and delicious food. Favorites include wrapped snake meat and fried snake spring rolls 🐍🐍🐍

    One of the best restaurants I tried in Hanoi. Snake dishes is everything. I would suggest to go in a group as you need to order a whole snake. You can get a bamboo, mountain snake or a cobra at 60-120$ per kgs/ per snake. The owner Dragon can help you choose the ideal one for you. A small bamboo snake can fill 3-4 people easily with all 11 dishes made from them. My favourite was snake wrapped snake meat in la lot leaves and grilled snake. Also do not forget to try the snake blod rice wine and snake wine. Would visit again. Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) I'm with my friends because we are curious about how snake meat is eaten, the two of us kept talking to each other in fear of not eating but after eating, we told each other to come back next month. I have some reviews as follows The owner of this restaurant is cute and funny Snake meat is delicious and easy to eat, even though I'm a woman. I want to eat it again. There was even a beating heart and fresh blood. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, surrounding is very quiet and has many trees like the countryside. Reasonable price You should book in advance so the shop owner can prepare a snake that suits your needs. The only problem I think is that it is better to change the table cloth and the electric system will look better on the space. (Original) Mình Đi cùng bạn vì hai đứa tò mò thịt rắn ăn như thế nào, 2 người mình cứ nói với nhau sợ không ăn được cơ mà ăn xong lại bảo nhau tháng sau quay lại nữa. mình có một số đánh giá như sau Bạn chủ nhà hàng ở đây dễ thương vui tính Thịt rắn ngon và dễ ăn vô cùng dù mình là phụ nữ. Ăn rồi muốn ănlại nữa. Có cả Tim rắn đang đập và máu răn tươi nữa. Nhà hàng trên tầng 2, xung quanh rất yên tĩnh và nhiều cây xanh như o quê ấy. Giá cả vừa tầm Các bạn nên đặt trước để chủ quán có thể chuẩn bị loại rắn phù hợp với nhu Cầu của các bạn. Vấn đề duy nhất mình nghĩ là nên thay khăn trải bàn và hệ thống điện nhìn không gian sẽ đẹp hơn.

    Amazing restaurant! You get to choose the snake, watch how they kill it if you want, have the snake heart in a vodka shot, then eat eleven dishes made from all different parts of the snake. All dishes were top quality and delicious and you get all you can drink beer and snake wine and coffee. I came here solo and almost finished everything myself but would be ideal for three or four people to share it all. Service was top notch too, and they even got me a cheap ride to the airport. Highly recommend to any adventurous eaters out there

    I ordered the bamboo snake! I got served 6 different dishes! All of them were amazing! Mr.Dragon was extremely hospitable and welcoming! Gave me a discount because I was solo which was super kind! I ordered the smaller snake because it was just myself, they give you plenty of food and drinks are included! Got to have a shot the snakes heart and then drank it’s blood! Awesome experience! Can’t emphasize enough how nice and caring Mr. Dragon was!

    When we entered, we met dragon extremely friendly, guided us through the entire process. We walked through and chose our snake ordered. The entire snake also got some really amazing snake, wine, the large cobra. Was really amazing on the side. The snake line was really potent and packed. Quite a punch amazing atmosphere. We got a private dining room greeted with lots of smile and the history in the place. It’s really a place where you can come and hang out and spend a few hours talking eating and having some great time highly recommended

👍👍 Probably one of our most memorable meals was at this amazing restaurant in Hanoi. The service was excellent and so was the food. We loved the flavours and the cocktails were on point.
