Hanoi Mga food tour

It was a really fun experience trying new things with family and friends. We also got to know new people there and tasted different coffee cultures in Vietnam. The recipe they provided is really good, as we got to taste six different coffees. The staff is really helpful and responsive during our contact.

The highlight of my entire trip to Vietnam!I booked a food tour in the Hanoi, and it blew me away. My guide, Hai, met us right at our hotel and instantly made us feel welcome. Instead of taking me to generic tourist traps, he led us down tiny, buzzing alleyways where locals sit on little plastic stools. I tried around 8 to 10 different dishes, and every single stop was a winner! Hai didn't just feed us-he shared incredible stories about Hanoi streets, family recipes, and local culture. If you are worried about street food hygiene or not knowing what to order, a guided tour takes all the guesswork out of it. Come hungry, wear comfortable walking shoes, and book this on your first day in the city!

We had the absolute best time with Chloe. She was on time and provided us with bottles of water each. She was so knowledgeable and gave us the history and background of some of the dishes and restaurants. We tried eel for the first time which was actually pretty good! Chloe spoke very good English so we had great conversations throughout the tour. Thank you so much Chloe for everything!

It was a lovely dining experience. We had an 11/12-course meal, all served on time and we could re-order any dishes that we liked. Only the drinks were charged, but the Klook booking offers 10% off drinks. Our favourite was the Bahn Xeo (pic 1), Bahn Cuon (pic 2), and Papaya Salad (pic 3).

I highly recommend this restaurant. The michelin star is well deserved. The food was great and very comforting. Will book again once we get back. Truly an astonishing cuisine.

This was my first visit to Hanoi, and I tried the weekday evening buffet. The food was average, but the desserts were plentiful and delicious. The staff were also very friendly.

I decided to try this restaurant for a fine dining experience, and I really enjoyed it! I also added the Australian steak and asked for it to be well-done since I’m not a fan of steak that’s too bloody. Everything tasted really good, and I finished all the food on my plates! The service was excellent too. The staff checked on me several times to ask how I was enjoying each course and if everything was good. I spent around two hours there because I eat quite slowly due to my braces, but they were very understanding and never made me feel rushed. They even gave me a cute complimentary drink, which was such a nice surprise! The atmosphere was relaxing, with soothing music in the background. I arrived around 5 PM and was the only customer there at the time, which I actually loved. It felt like I had the whole restaurant to myself. Overall, I loved the food, service, and chill atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back with my friends next time!

While the food might be a bit disappointing for the price, it's worth it for the fun times you can have with new people. Nicky is an excellent host and did a great job leading us through a wild night. I highly recommend this to anyone traveling alone to Hanoi.

In terms of culinary performance, the kitchen team has a very proficient grasp of heat and spices: * Green papaya salad with fresh shrimp: Crispy and refreshing in texture, with a precisely balanced sweet and sour ratio, serving as a very competent appetizer. * Claypot Fish: The fish meat is firm and flavorful, with a sauce carrying a rich caramelized aroma, offering complex layers when paired with white rice. * Grilled pork rice vermicelli (Bun Cha): The pork has just the right amount of charcoal-grilled aroma, the meat is tender and not dry, and the broth is clear, sweet, and not murky. * Slow-simmered beef pho: The broth is clear and profound in flavor, with the natural integration of spices such as black cardamom and star anise, free from any excessive artificial seasoning. * Passion fruit panna cotta: The acidity is bright and effectively cuts through richness, cleanly and neatly wrapping up the meal.
