We stumbled upon Quán nhậu Nhật Bản Izakaya MATSUKI Tây Hồ after our original dinner spot had closed for the night — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. Facing the serene West Lake, I imagine this izakaya offers stunning sunset views during the day. Unfortunately, we visited late at night, so the scenery outside was lost in darkness — but the warm and immersive atmosphere inside more than made up for it. We requested to sit on the second floor instead of the ground level where we were first directed, and the staff were more than happy to accommodate. The setting upstairs felt cozy, intimate, and distinctly Japanese — reminiscent of small-town eateries in Kyoto or Osaka. We admittedly went overboard with the food, ordering so much that dishes were still arriving even after we were already full. But honestly, we didn’t regret it. Everything was delicious and felt authentically prepared. The tuna sashimi was fresh, and the rest of the dishes hit the spot. Do take note that wasabi comes at an extra charge, and hot green tea isn’t refillable — a small detail that’s good to know in advance. The energy of the place is uplifting. Staff greet and send off guests with enthusiastic shouts, which really adds to the genuine izakaya experience. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and setting. Overall, MATSUKI is a fantastic spot for a casual yet authentic Japanese dinner in Hanoi — especially for those missing a taste of Japan. #summervacay #HanoiEats #JapaneseFoodHanoi #IzakayaExperience #TayHoEats #MatsukiIzakaya #HiddenGemsHanoi #JapaneseVibes #AuthenticDining #SashimiLovers #WestLakeViews #HanoiFoodieAdventure #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

Tucked away at the far end of Hanoi’s iconic Beer Street, Factory 47 is a laid-back bar perfect for catching a match, grabbing a drink, or just chilling out after a long day of sightseeing. We dropped in during a live telecast of the European Cup, and the atmosphere was buzzing without being overly rowdy. The servers were friendly and accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. We ordered a round of drinks and tried the beef tacos, which turned out to be surprisingly delicious — flavorful, well-seasoned, and a great match for our beers. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the prime location. A few things to note: • Smoking is allowed indoors, so it can get a bit smoky inside. • There’s a second level with a pool table, which adds to the bar’s casual vibe, though it wasn’t air-conditioned during our visit. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: Factory 47 is a great little bar for those looking to kick back with good food, drinks, and football in a chill setting off the main tourist track. #summervacay #Factory47Hanoi #HanoiNightlife #BeerStreetHanoi #HanoiBars #ChillVibesHanoi #FootballAndBeer #HanoiEats #LateNightHanoi #VietnamNightlife #HiddenGemsHanoi #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

While strolling through the streets of Hanoi, we stumbled upon Phở Bò, Bún Chả & Nem, a humble eatery serving up classic Vietnamese fare. Though we had already tried pho earlier in the day, we decided to switch things up and ordered the Vietnamese beef stew (Bò Kho) — and it turned out to be a great choice. The broth was rich, sweet, and full of flavor, with tender beef chunks swimming in the bowl. It came with a crispy mini baguette that was perfect for soaking up the broth — warm, crusty on the outside, and delightful when dipped. The restaurant itself is modest in size, with two seating areas: one air-conditioned and another more open-air setup. It’s a simple, no-frills place, but it delivers where it counts — in taste and value. The prices were reasonable, making it a great casual dining stop while exploring the city. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: A great little find for authentic, flavorful Vietnamese stews and comfort dishes. Don’t miss the beef stew with baguette if you’re looking to try something beyond pho! #summervacay #HanoiEats #VietnameseFood #BoKho #HanoiBeefStew #StreetFoodHanoi #HanoiHiddenGem #BunChaAndMore #VietnamTravelEats #ComfortFoodVietnam #AuthenticHanoi #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

🍜 Review: Noodle & Roll – Quiet Corner for Authentic Vietnamese Fare in Hanoi Tucked along the busy streets of Hanoi, Noodle & Roll is a small, no-frills eatery serving up classic Vietnamese dishes with both meat and vegetarian options. We stopped by for a late lunch and found the place empty, giving us the entire restaurant to ourselves — a quiet break from the bustling Old Quarter. We tried their beef pho and a side of Vietnamese fried spring rolls. The pho broth was rich and flavorful, with fresh slices of tender beef that made for a comforting bowl. The spring rolls, while crispy and tasty, were a little too oily for my liking — though still enjoyable overall. Service was fast and efficient, and pricing felt reasonable given the portion size and central location. If you’re after a quick, casual meal with authentic flavors, this spot is worth a try — especially if you’re looking for vegetarian options too. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: A quiet, affordable spot for traditional Vietnamese food. Great pho, quick service — just mind the oil if ordering fried dishes. #summervacay #NoodleAndRollHanoi #HanoiEats #VietnamesePho #HiddenGemHanoi #VegetarianHanoi #HanoiFoodie #VietnamTravelEats #HanoiLunchSpot #PhoLovers #EatLikeALocal #TraditionalVietnameseFood #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

After seeing countless glowing reviews and vlogs about The Note Coffee, we decided to drop by and see what the buzz was all about. Tucked away in the heart of the Old Quarter and right beside Hoàn Kiếm Lake, this charming little café offers more than just coffee — it’s a feel-good experience. We visited in the late morning and were lucky to grab a top-floor window seat, which offered beautiful views of the lake and the streets below. Be aware though — the café is not air-conditioned, so it can get quite warm, especially midday. That said, the warm atmosphere also seemed to keep the table turnover relatively quick. I ordered a freshly baked croissant, which came warm and crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside — exactly how it should be. Of course, I couldn’t leave without trying their egg coffee, a Vietnamese must-have. It was smooth, sweet, and velvety — a delightful take on the local classic. What sets this café apart is its signature concept: walls covered in colorful sticky notes, handwritten by visitors from around the world. The notes add a personal, heartwarming touch to the experience, making it feel like you’re part of a global community, all sharing good vibes over coffee. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: A great stop for a break in the Old Quarter — come for the egg coffee, stay for the view and leave a little note behind. It’s one of those places that’s touristy for a reason. #summervacay #TheNoteCoffee #HanoiCafeHopping #EggCoffee #VietnamCoffeeCulture #HoanKiemLakeViews #OldQuarterHanoi #StickyNoteCafe #HanoiEats #CoffeeWithAView #VietnamTravel #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

While wandering through the streets of Hanoi, we stumbled upon Bánh mì Mama, a small takeaway street stall drawing a surprisingly long queue — a sure sign of something worth trying. Specializing in the beloved Vietnamese bánh mì, this stall offers a variety of fillings in a crispy, toasted French baguette. I opted for a combo of egg and pork, and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The ingredients were fresh and well-balanced, and the lightly sweet sauce added a delicious kick to the savory fillings. This is no-frills street food at its best — quick, tasty, and affordable. The fact that locals were lining up speaks volumes about its popularity and authenticity. If you’re craving a quick bite that hits all the right notes, Bánh mì Mama is a great stop! ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: A solid, street-side bánh mì experience in Hanoi. Tasty, satisfying, and local-approved. #summervacay #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip #BanhMiMama #HanoiStreetFood #BanhMiHanoi #HanoiEats #VietnameseSandwich #EatLikeALocal #StreetEatsVietnam #FoodieFindsHanoi #QuickBitesHanoi #AuthenticVietnamese

#springitinerary Fell in love with the rhythm of the streets, the smell of coffee, and the endless surprises hidden in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. ☕ Salty Cream Coffee — Chè 4 Mùa Hàng Cân So summery and refreshing! The combo of salty cream and strong Vietnamese coffee is unexpectedly amazing. I’m hooked 😍 🍲 Best Pho I’ve had in Vietnam — Pha Thin Bd Ho Aromatic, rich broth and tender beef. Unbeatable! 🍚 Xoi Ven (Sticky Rice with Braised Pork) At first, I thought it was underwhelming... until I added the braised sauce and deep-fried soft-boiled egg — SO GOOD 🔥 🍢 Bun Cha Ta Hanoi — Grilled pork with noodles & spring rolls Found this spot while escaping the rain. Cozy, hearty, delicious. 🥤 AHA Cafe — Mung Bean Coffee Famous for a reason! The crispy coconut flakes on top were a genius touch. 💚 🥚 Cafe Giang — Egg Coffee Quite unique and worth a try! Though I’m not sure it’s my thing 😅 ✨ I really fell for the everyday charm of Hanoi — the chaos, the coziness, the flavors. #VietnamVibes #HanoiEats #OldQuarter #VietnameseCoffee #FoodieJourney #HanoiStreets

#springitinerary #Hanoi #VietnamTravel #HanoiOldQuarter #HanoiWithKids #VietnamStreetVibes #PhoLoversUnite #HanoiLakeLife #TravelSoutheastAsia #WanderingHanoi #HanoiEats #ScooterCity I love this city — in the way you love something that’s a bit chaotic, slightly unpredictable, but totally unforgettable. Hanoi is like a noisy orchestra of scooters, street food smells, and people shouting lovingly at each other — and I mean that in the best way. The Old Quarter felt like a giant, living maze with something unexpected at every turn — a tailor shop, a street barber, someone grilling meat on the sidewalk, and a family of five on a single motorbike zooming past like it’s no big deal. I strolled around Hoan Kiem Lake, dodged a few selfie sticks, and ended up people-watching for an hour (10/10, would recommend). One quiet moment stood out — at Temple of the Jade Mountain, right in the heart of all the buzz. It was calm, still, and kind of magical. Then, of course, it was back to slurping a hot bowl of pho on a low plastic stool while scooters whizzed inches away from my table. This city is wild in the best way — a little messy, a little magical, and full of stories. Recommended experiences: • Wander the Old Quarter — let yourself get lost! • Chill at Hoan Kiem Lake, especially during weekends when it becomes pedestrian-only. • Visit Temple of Literature, One Pillar Pagoda, and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. • Try egg coffee, bun cha, and every street food stall you dare. • Watch the Thang Long Water Puppet Show — delightfully quirky and cultural. • Good for: Curious travelers, foodies, culture lovers, families with adventurous kids. • Vibe: Loud, charming, flavorful, slightly chaotic — in the best way. How to Get There: • By air: Fly into Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) — about 45–60 minutes from the city center. • Getting into the city: • Grab or taxi: Easiest with luggage. • Airport shuttle: Budget-friendly and runs regularly. • Getting around Hanoi: • Walk, take a cyclo, or use Grab. Traffic’s intense, but it works. • Pro tip: Stay near Hoan Kiem Lake or the Old Quarter for easy access to all the action.
