What to order:

Order the classic bánh cuốn with minced pork and wood-ear mushrooms. If you see the option, go for the version with the soft egg inside, it adds richness to the delicate rice rolls. Don’t skip the fresh herbs and dipping sauce.

Why it’s here:

This is a Michelin-listed spot and one of the best places in Hanoi to try bánh cuốn done properly. You can watch them make the rice sheets fresh, right in front of you, which makes the whole experience feel very special. It’s simple food, but incredibly precise and well executed.

Tip:

You can get this takeaway, but we really recommend sitting down. It’s much easier to eat fresh at the table while everything is still warm and silky. Take your time and adjust the dipping sauce to your taste with chilli if you like a bit of heat.
