Reviews
This was our first meal after arriving in Hanoi. As the name suggests, the restaurant is right by Hoan Kiem Lake. The front entrance is lively and busy, but if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, the staff will guide you through a narrow alley to the upstairs dining area, where you can enjoy a beautiful lake view from the window seats. Our family had a total of 10 people, including adults and children, and the staff kindly put two tables together for us without any problem. The food was good. Compared with the dishes we had in Ho Chi Minh City, we found the flavors here to be less sweet, which suited our taste. Every staff member was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and spoke English well. They were happy to help with all of our requests, which made the experience even more enjoyable. 👍 Just one small suggestion regarding the food: the grilled fish was a little undercooked for our preference. The flesh in the middle was still pink, and since it was freshwater fish, we personally felt it would be better if it were cooked a bit more thoroughly. Of course, this may simply reflect local cooking preferences. One more lovely moment: when we were paying the bill, the staff accidentally forgot to include the drinks. They only realized it after I pointed it out. They then gave our children a few beautiful red apples, which was a very sweet gesture. Everyone was so warm and genuine, and it left us with a wonderful impression. If you’re looking for a nice place to try Vietnamese cuisine in the French Quarter, I’d definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try.
Tona was attentive, and the food was wonderful. Our first meal in Hanoi, we ordered a feast! It was delicious!
This place truly made me feel at home. The warmth and hospitality of the staff made me feel incredibly welcome from the moment I walked in, and they took the time to explain each dish and how to enjoy it, which made the experience even more memorable. I ordered the bánh xèo and chả cá, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Giang served us and was very attentive. Great food, wonderful people, and genuine hospitality. If you’re looking for an authentic Vietnamese dining experience, I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll definitely be back.
Ly Trung viet. , I got the vegan pho, an avocado smoothie with a little bit of sugar and substitute water instead of milk & the lotus Viet Hanoi tea (it gets very concentrated quickly so don’t let it sit too long) all were delicious! Great location great vibes ✨ recommend!
We had a great meal here, everything was super delicious, and we had fantastic service from Sunny! She was soooo friendly and has such kind smile. I took the signature fish dish from Hanoi it was amazing, the Banh xeo (savory pancake) was delicious as well. Can totally recommend!
