What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise restaurants for their exceptional service, with staff often going above and beyond to explain menus and accommodate requests. The food is frequently described as delicious and authentic, with generous portions. Some reviewers note that while the food is excellent, the outstanding service truly elevates the entire dining experience.
"We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant, thanks largely to our server, Laura. As we’re not very experienced with Vietnamese cuisine, she took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel completely comfortable. She even helped us roll the spring rolls, which was a great touch and made the experience fun and interactive.
The food was excellent, but the service was even better. Laura’s patience, knowledge, and friendliness truly stood out. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place!"

"We had a wonderful experience at Hoang's Restaurant! It is near the night market which is from Friday to Monday. Eat then shop! We were a large group yet the service was outstanding.
A huge shoutout to Huyn. She was very friendly and chatted with us and made sure we all understood our food orders. She was so patient with us as we placed a massive order for the whole table. Her attitude really started our meal off on the right note. She was attentive to the special dietary request ans made sure the necessary was carried out.
The food was delicious! Serving portion is sufficient too. Level 2 seats also provide better views. Ask for availability.
ENjoy!"

"BEST FOOD IN HANOI!!! We came here on our first night in Hanoi and shouldn’t have gone anywhere else. No other restaurant we went to came close to how good the food is here! Our server was Sasha, he was friendly, funny, attentive and gave great recommendations. Everything we ordered was amazing! We sat outside and enjoyed the buzz of the street and taking in the sights and sounds of Hanoi. Lovely atmosphere, clean and menu was had English with pictures (which was helpful) but Sasha also spoke English making it very easy to communicate. I was skeptical since it has tens of thousands of reviews at 4.9 stars, but they seriously earned every one of those great reviews!"
