It is a really clean, nice, and beautiful place. The staff are nice and polite. It is perfect to host a birthday party or have any type of event or celebrations. The food was great. There were lots of selections. We were at the other side where they mostly serve authentic Vietnamese food. (There are two places, or restaurants, where one is mostly serves authentic Vietnamese and the other one is mostly global, where there are lots more different food and more choices in each than at the other side. Of course you have to pay separate for each side because it’s like they’re like different “restaurants” in the restaurant.) At the side that we were in where they serve mostly authentic Vietnamese food, also had some food that the other side had, but not as much of a selection then there. I eat on both sides and personally, I think that the more global is better, because there are lots and lots and lots more food and variety of food choices where you can choose from and not just basically Vietnamese food. Overall I really do love this place and both sides, I definitely recommend both of them and it was great coming back, so if I have more time (and space in my stomach) then I would definitely come back because it’s such a great place to go to.

This is a great place to bring a group to celebrate a special occasion but that’s the only time I’d make a point of visiting. Nonetheless, the sumptuous garden environment and vast array of beautifully presented buffet options (many of which were quite tasty) made for the perfect New Year celebration setting. Definitely recommended. Be sure to visit on an empty stomach!

Very lively atmosphere with A LOT of the locals hanging around, doing recreational activities.

I think it is the best Buffe place in Hanoi, with nearly 200 dishes of variuos foods. Impressive decoration and view from Ho Tay lake. A bit crouded and noisy...no like.

One of the peaceful and relaxing buffets I've ever been. Love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Food is well prepared. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Would love to visit again.

This is one of tourist attractions in Hanoi. It was near to our hotel 5 min walking. We visited in morning and evening as well. Both the time it's view was awesome. If you want to go on bridge then you need to buy ticket from counter. Must visit place you will like it.

One of the best buffets in Hanoi. It costs 400,000 dong per person at international typed buffet at Friday evening. Around at 9 o'clock in the evening, the food is cleaned up and finished. So I recommend you to go earlier and eat a lot as you want. Overall ok.

Must place to visit in Hanoi. This is the center for visitors and you will see the great view of people, streets, foods or so. You will know once you get there

Positives - Large selections of food for the 410k price - Beautiful location next to the lake - Clean and beautiful seating area Negatives - “Artificial” wait time to create lines for hype (I’ll explain below) - There are some tasty food but a lot of bland food too - Some dishes did not taste fresh 2 friends and I arrived at 11:05AM on a Saturday, they open at 11 so there was not a large amount of people. We were told to wait because they are setting up the tables. After 15 mins we were brought to another area where we handed in the ticket given to us. Then we were told to wait again because they were setting up the tables. We waited 15 mins more by then there was around 40 people in the waiting area. We were then led to another building were we could see many empty tables but they didn’t let everyone waiting in. This makes me feel like they wanted there to be a line of people to make the restaurant more busy then it is. I could be wrong but the reason they gave us for making us wait 30 mins was not valid. Otherwise the meal was great, there is a lot of choice of food for the price you pay. I tasted a lot of the meat and it was great but the seafood and sashimi was pretty bland. I did have some prawns that tasted off and some watermelon that tasted like it’s been out for too long. Over all besides the long wait time for unknown reasons I had a good enough experience to come back and try it again in the future. Edit: came back in the evening after pre booking. I was given a table immediately. The last time I was here I was in the International area and this time I was in the Hanoi area. The Hanoi area was a much better experience compared to the International area. Even though I was told the buffet is the same, I felt like the food was replaced much faster and there was more portions so even though there was a lot of people I didn’t have to wait for the more popular dishes. I recommend booking area of time before coming.

This is a beautiful, clean and wide restaurant. They have many kind of food for you to choose. Highly recommend 👍🏼

In the morning, looking at the pedestrians in a state of joy, fun, fresh air, the lake of love and romance is ancient and romantic. Anyway, day and night on the sacred land of proud Hanoians, just take a moment to walk to the old town, relax and enjoy the food, feel the traditional culinary culture, always kept until now The wide and spacious pedestrian street looms under the trees, along with the ancient villas built from the French period, the historical relics of the temples that have passed through the ages are witnessing the changing lives. of Hanoians (Original) Quanh hồ gươm ,những con phố được cây xanh bao phủ một mầu tươi mát êm dịu .Sáng ra nhìn dòng người đi bộ trong trạng thái hân hoan ,vui vẻ ,không khí trong lành ,hồ gươm yêu thương lãng mạn cổ kính biết chừng nào ,ngày đêm trên mảnh đất linh thiêng người Hà Nội tự hào ,cứ rảnh rỗi một chút ra phố cổ đi bộ ,thư giãn và thưởng thức những món ăn cảm nhận nét văn hóa ẩm thực mang tính truyền thống , luôn được gìn giữ cho đến bây giờ Phố đi bộ rộng rãi ,thênh thang thấp thoáng ẩn hiện dưới hàng cây cùng những ngôi biệt thự cổ được xây dựng từ thời pháp ,những di tích lịch sử đình đền đã trải qua nhiều thời đại đang chứng kiến cuộc sống thay da đổi thịt của người Hà NỘi

Hồ Gươm Walking Street is one of the weekend destinations enjoyed not only by Hanoi residents but also by foreign tourists. The pedestrian area is opened in three nights at the weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), from 7:00pm to 12:00pm in summer and from 6:00pm to 12:00pm in winter. Walking Street has become the place where many interesting and engaging community activities and events happen which greatly benefit the society as a whole. Not only bringing exciting experiences, traditional folk games like Tug-of-war, Mandarin squares capturing, Bamboo dancing, Bamboo jacks,…also serve as building bridges to connect people, helping us revisit our carefree childhood and forget all about the hustle and bustle of everyday life

Greatly recommended spot for international buffet. The food is presented nicely at optimum freshness. Oyster is a must try. The dining place is cosy and comfortable. All staffs are very professional in serving customers from the beginning to the end of meal.

A wonderful walk around the lake with lots to see.

Order two dishes, one is mixed fried egg and grilled pork other is mixed grilled chopped pork and grilled pork. Those two are so huge so that a normal person such as woman cannot have all of it. It tasted so delicious and juicy. Plus a good serving.

Despite the hefty price tag (145k dong for the special), the amount of food was even too much for a big eater like myself. While the Chinese style sausage, shredded pork and egg foo yoong were delicious, I found the HUMONGOUS pork chop not lacking in flavor but very dry. I guess I'm bias because I'm used to more fatty cuts when eating com tam back in the USA. Overall, this place is a must try as it's an institution with prompt and professional service.

Often come here with family, friends. Normal lunch lasts 3 hours ( 11:00-14:00). Dinner lasts bit longer (18:00-21:20). One of the first, the best, the finest authentic Vietnamese buffet restaurants locally. Prior booking's required. App. $ AU 25/ each adult ( excl.drinks) to eat in international buffet building. Unlimited food, desserts whatever some 200++ QUALITY dishes in menu 😋 NOISY: yes, & most popular buffet restaurants will be noisy. STAFF: very helpful, polite. I will score them higher than 10/10 if I can. P/S: The only negative point is their Rest Room. I would prefer not to think about it.

This is a very nice place, considering it's a buffet place. The food variety is amazing and gives one a chance to taste different styles of preperation and flavors of the country. Of course, it is a bit pricier than the usual Hanoi street food place, but the quality and variety of entrees as well as desserts make up for it. I advise to make a reservation ahead of time to ensure little to no wait. Most of the staff doesn't speak English, which really doesn't pose a problem since pointing and using familiar brand names for the drink order is the most interaction one has with the staff.

Something that I never expected and experienced. This huggggggggge restaurant consists of abundant choices and endless quantity. All you can eat buffet which was scrumptious and fresh. Staffs are very helpful too. This booking was done by my tour agent, I am not sure if able to walk in for dining.

Good variety of foods served in buffet style in a grand hall, covering a good variety of ground meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits and desserts. Dishes were generally well flavoured with the exception of some beef dishes which were a little on the stiffer side. Outside the dining hall is a pond and plaza where one may take themed photos. Bit crowded but generally good value (particularly if you're a tourist).

We enjoyed listening to the music & we even dance with it before going to the restaurant. The place is very nice & clean. Food were delicious & we tried the international food that was in there. I love it😘👌

Sen Hanoi at 60 Ly Thai To’s buffet dinners are priced at VND 210,000 (not inclusive of drinks), where diners are presented with plenty of Asian and European delicacies to choose from, including over 60 traditional dishes from three regions in Vietnam.

It is an amazing place, I have never experienced something like this in my life. So much food, so much variety, so tasty and so many different styles. I would recommend everyone who goes to Hà Noi to pay a visit to this place. It is clean, always enough waiters to serve you or to clean the table. If I were to go again - I would hit the ice-cream buffet and the Japanese buffet. P.S.: water is offered for free.

Big lake, holds lots of water and wet things. Could tell the fishes and turtles were having a good time. Very peaceful and cooling above water. A lively fish party going on underwater (probably). Good for a walk away from the city hustle!

I came here for my birthday. The impressive thing is food. There are variety food here: see food, local food. Besides that, the space is good.

Very crowded place. The locals seems to live the all you can eat buffet. Very busy place. All kind of local food plus some western and Japanese food.

Wide variety of Vietnamese food to choose from and ingredients are fresh.. Heard that they serve different type of buffet on different days so better ask before u book. Highly recommended to try if u do not have time to tour around Hanoi to eat their local food.

super popular spot for Com Tam (broken rice) chances are when you ask a local what their favourite spot for Com Tam is that theyll say this spot! the pork chop is massssssive here! probably the biggest thing they have to boast with here! its marinated beautifully and then grilled giving it a rich and smokey flavour experience! all the extras you can get is also of good quality! everything here tastes good!

If you are new in Hanoi, have not much time to spend in this city on your trip iand want to taste some traditional food and western food you can put the place popular place on your list. I don't go very often to this place but I enjoy the food every time I go.

Buffet with many food choices in a lively atmosphere. Usually very crowded especially at dinner time & weekends. Good place to visit with family or friends. Not so much recommended for someone who likes to dine in a quiet environment.

Food is good and diversity. Service good. But crowned and expensive

A lot of food and very delicious but I think the air conditioner is very weak even now is winter I am still sweaty

We really enjoyed the nice walk around the lake. We aren't sure if it happens every weekend but the usually busy street around the lake was turned into a pedestrian street in Friday and Saturday night which made for a really cool and fun experience. Highly recommend when visiting Hanoi.

it is huge place with seafood, meat and other options available. it is self-service. Grills are outside and they have beef, pork, duck, chicken, ribs etc. Seafood options are more and seemed fresh. You can have dessert too. Only drinks are not included in your buffet price.

Gooof

Just alright

There are many luxurious and good Vietnamese foods, but there are not many foods to eat for foreigners. The quality is not good for the price, but it's worth visiting at least once.

The lakeside is a lovely contrast in the old quarter and its bustling streets. Ngoc Son Temple sits on a small island, reached by a bridge. It feels special and provides a good vantage point. Best to visit early to enjoy things at their best.

Ok

It's a huge restaurant. Plenty of food with variety of choices. However, it can not be considered as a high class one as too many diners and the route to access food is a chaos. Diners talks and eat while access food. It is concerned for sanitary because of the overwhelm crowd.

Portions were huge, took the advice from previous reviews to just share one plate between two people and order an extra serving of rice. I felt like it was pretty pricey at around $150k but it was still an overall tasty experience. It was delicious.. but I’ve tasted better.

If you have only one night in Hanoi and you want buffet, this is the place for you. Abundance with quality. Quality of buffet 8.5/10 Diversity of menu : 9/10 Service: 8.5/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Accessibility 9/10 Ambiance 8/10 Will come again? Yes

Great place to eat with friends or family members. But do beware of the rowdy and "hungry" diners. They will push or shove you away and just clear the whole plates within minutes (lolz). So do visit early to avoid this type of diners, if not you will have no mood to eat. Also, do follow the culture, hold on to the tongs and wait for the replenishment(the pic I took at some diners) . Lol lol lol....

Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street surrounds the Hoan Kiem lake with a wonderful view of the big lake. In the middle of the lake there is an old turtle tower which is known as Thap Rua, a calm and quite and majestic structure from ancient times whereas the street encircling it is lively and modern. The street is full of cafes offering traditional Vietnamese food as well as cosmopolitan modern cafes and bars. The street is full of pedestrians from different nationalities and kids playing all around. When I visited the street, there was a street performance going on where there was music and activities probably due to encourage the local football team.

Great lake and park in Hanoi, a popular tourist attraction. It's enjoyable to walk around the lake and observe locals participating in evening activities. Highly recommended for a leisurely stroll.

Nice view at night..

A flea market in Hanoi where all sorts of goods available prices depend on the quality of goods

Ok

An iconic walk in Hanoi that everyone should experience. The lake itself is stunning and is home to other famous Hanoi landmarks, along with a wide array of food and shopping options. It's easy to only walk part of the loop and explore little side streets or stop for coffee, like at the note cafe. This loop should be experienced both at night and during the day. Doable for any fitness level and easy to bring strollers or wheelchairs.

In the old quarter Hanoi... With "french" looking building n a big "pond"... Lot of "activity" (line dancing/ ball kicking etc) n "action" on the closed walking streets... Some street have Pasar Malam stores, n as usual selling all homogenous products... But lot of "interesting" cafes/ shops to look around... Highly recommended to stay here for a more convenient times (just downstairs will be foods stores/ cafes/ restaurant/ mini marts etc etc)...

Great place to visit but was very very crowded, I'd actually recommend them to limit the amount of people who can go inside at a time to allow more enjoyable experience

Nice walk. The weather is not hot, with the breeze from the lake. Along the way there is cultural performances and street buskers. Good for a after dinner walk.

Great choice of food. Personally not a big fan of some of their seasoning. However, thats just me most people love it. Ambience and service were great.

Great

Beautiful park. Great place for s stroll and away from Hanoi's busy streets

You should hang out in the pedestrian street at the weekend Have a lot of time to play comfortably without worrying about traffic and pollution. It's a fun feeling

Street music is always an art that attracts viewers. In this Hanoi, there is rarely anything that makes people feel close and adventurous like seeing an orchestra playing as improvised and emotional as on the pedestrian street. Everyone around them seemed to want to "swallow" every note. People swaying, people singing along, people dancing, people swinging with their eyes closed… to each tune. In the pedestrian street now you can easily mingle with music at many street corners, unlike before, if you want to listen to street music, you have to wait until evening in Ta Hien, Luong Ngoc Quyen, Dao Duy Tu... .

Park in the middle of Hanoi. Very pretty and beautiful

(Translated by Google) The night market on the walking street for 3 weekends must everyone know, apart from the extremely rich clothes, shoes and accessories, the two sides of the road are also full of eateries, right? Recently, I found at the night market that there are 2 dishes that are both familiar and delicious, with a great love price of only 25,000-30,000. These are mixed rice paper and pickled fruit, I do not remember exactly where the two shopkeepers sit But the rice paper rolls are along the way, while the fruit beams are on the side of the way back. (Original) Chợ đêm trên phố đi bộ 3 ngày cuối tuần chắc mọi người cũng biết,ngoài quần áo,giày dép,phụ kiện vô cùng phong phú thì 2 bên đường cũng bạt ngàn các quán ăn nhỉ? Gần đây mình thấy ở chợ đêm có 2 món vừa quen vừa ngon,chất lượng mà giá yêu thương cực chỉ từ 25.000-30.000.Chính là bánh tráng trộn và hoa quả dầm,mình không nhớ chính xác 2 cô bán hàng ngồi ở đâu nhưng hàng bánh tráng nằm dọc trên đường đi còn hàng hoa quả dầm nằm ở bên hướng đường về nhé.

Bad service

Good

Lakeside

Ngoc Son Temple in which I’ve not entered yet, but heritage in Hanoi

Not bad, service is acceptable, however i’d say that the sashimi here is not that fresh! Frozen and when then served salmon has not been defrost!

BE CAREFUL OF PICKPOCKETS, especially at night when it’s dark and crowded

captivating!

Love it

Ok

Ok

Ok

Best public place in Hanoi

Its great

Nice ambience. Mostly there all is seafood based and also Japanese foods. Their fruits is superb fresh and their desserts is one of the local delicacy. Most of the people are locals too beside tourists! Wish to comes here again

Great lunch buffet spread. All sorts of food, you name it, Western, Asian and the local dishes. But I didn't like the idea of standing in the long queue. Waiting for those in front who took their own sweet time to move. And with many tour groups dining simultaneously at this peak lunch time, getting up to refill my plate was the other I didn't enjoy. Really a mess!

Its nice place to walk or jogging. Quite a lot people in the afternoon and evening. I think the best time for exercise in here is early morning, with fresh air and not too busy. But the lake in the time I was here not quite clean, it's quite sad. But overall I think its good for relaxing time in Hanoi

The crowd was nice but many people littered. The sunset was also pretty. Need to go a little bit further for food or coffee. But everything within 2-5 minutes walk.

Find the tranquility at the heart of Hanoi City Center. So nice to see elderly people hang out together or do some little exercises. Younger people do jogging. The temple looks so sacred but beautiful. Always visit the lake when visiting Hanoi. Some cafes and ice cream stalls around the lake.

It's a beautiful place to visit, especially during sunrise and sunset. There is a park around the lake where you can sit and relax. One can take the bridge and visit the temple, ticket cost is 45000 Vietnamese Dong (as of Nov 2022) and there is a temple with some old preservings of turtles. Very quiet and peaceful.

Amazing place to eat... a huge variety of food.... just wanna eat all of the foods there! Delicious! Good service and nice place, too! Worth it.

I had a chance taking my child to Vpbank event at walking street today. A lot of fun

Beautiful bridge. Did not go onto the island but took a lot of pictures around the bridge.

Tourist friendly very good attractions definitely a must visit..

Hoan Kiem Lake is one of the places to which "must have" come for everyone coming Hanoi. Crowded at night though I've been there on weekday. I took a beautiful image there.

this is a nice lake to walk around and people watch. it’s just a little over a mile around the lake. a couple ice cream shops, fruits vendors, drinks vendors. it’s pretty at night.

Heart of the tourist spot at Hanoi City. Lots of near restaurants, Coffee shops, Shopping Botiques. Many people gathered on this place there are benches available to sit if you are already tired in walking.

Very traditional place with lots of history and meaning. There are photographers that will take professional pictures. We hired one guy and he did an amazing job and printed the pictures of our family on quality laminated paper for easy transport back to Canada. It's especially beautiful at night with all the lights on. We got a ride from one of those guys (Xích lô) who pedals you around. That was fun too. Bring light clothing, because it's crazy hot there.

A great place to enjoy Hanoi bustling & colourful life during the weekend, be it a culinary tour or a 30 min mind-clearing walk.

Good tourist place. You may spare your whole time on there. Super adventurous.

Sen's quality has really gone down, ingredients are lower quality than before and not so fresh. It can get very crowded, but that is expected of most buffets here. Prices are around 400k per person without drinks. Staff is super friendly and attentive.

This is a nice place to have buffet in Hanoi, probably the best. Food variety is big, just not too much but will satisfy your appetite. There are BBQ/grill, seafood, Vietnamese food, Western food and also regular dishes (such as fried rice, glass noodles, spaghetti, vegetable, etc.). Drinks are not included in the entrance tickets but separatedly billed. Sometimes you have to rush the staff for some dishes such as the buttered grilled oysters. Anyway, it's a nice experience here. If you have friends visiting Hanoi and want buffet, bring them here. Also, everyday is a happy birthday! (Come here and you'll see what I meant) 😄

Spacious space, varied menu, great taste. Drink prices are not included. Employees check customers frequently, so there is no inconvenience. I recommend that you make a reservation in advance as waiting times may occur.

Not really my thing. I enjoyed a work do here. Lots of choices and some pretty tasty food but it’s simply put a massive buffet with lots of people to navigate. Not to encourage smoking, but if you want to you can open a door to the left of the ladies loo. It takes you out on to a small ledge where you can have a smoke. The guy in the door pointed this out to me. I think it’s worth a visit and you can join in with the birthday songs that you will hear all evening.

You have to like crowds and bustle to really enjoy this place, but I love it! Wide choice of food and never ending buffet means you can try all sorts of things from snails to baked oyster to sushi and pasta!

Walking around Hoan Kiem is a must do cultural experience in Hanoi.
