Hanoi Food Culture Restaurant & Cooking Class

Awesome food, service and experience. We were in Hanoi and this restaurant was highly recommended by our guide who also accompanied us for lunch. After a short wait, we were shown our seating on the first floor. The restaurant was full of people and the atmosphere was great. The menu focuses on local food ( it has continental food also) and has many options for vegan or vegetarian too. We loved the food, the taste, presentation and the quantity was excellent. Highly recommended to come here to experience great Vietnamese cuisine.

I chose this place as my first dining experience in Hanoi, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The menu's physical design was appealing, and I appreciated how the dishes showcased a combination of Vietnamese signature flavors and French inspirations. Duc, my server for the evening, was incredibly friendly and helpful, enhancing my dining experience. I am eager to return in the future and indulge in the tasting menu once again.

Let me preface and give some context: Everywhere I have eaten in Hanoi has had amazing food! So for me to write this review, I want to make sure that it is understood that this was 5-Star service and food. First, our server Quang! He was personable, funny, quick to connect, gave great recommendations, and most importantly made our experience memorable. Truly, the only server I encountered that I will actively remember when I head home. Regarding food, I had a ginger chicken and fried rice with seafood spring rolls. My peers had the fish in banana leaves, the wrapped pork, and the lemongrass chicken. We ate our meals in complete ecstasy.

We took a chance on Hanoi Food Culture - and this chance paid off 110%.

Also, highly recommend the orange, peach, and lemongrass tea!

Came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and they were very accommodating. Ngan is very attentive and made sure our experience was flawless.

Every dish was amazing, the caramelised pork was the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was great and cooling. Would definitely come again.

Superb nice Vietnamese restaurant at Old Quarter which I would like to recommend. The environment was so nice as pictures describe. Our waiter, Ms Thu treated us with high hospitality and recommended us many delicious local cuisine. Will surely pass a second visit during next trip to Hanoi.

The drinks (iced tea, a lychee martini & wine), food, ambience and most importantly, the staff were all excellent!! So happy we stopped here for dinner! Our wonderful host, Ngan, was welcoming, hospitable, attentive and overall took such great care of us. The building and decor are even adorable.
The food was perfectly cooked, large in portion and delicious. Nothing was too spicy and when I asked for some red chili to give mine a little kick, Ngan brought me some immediately.
Highly recommend! A great spot in a city full of choices!

What a fantastic spot in the very center of Hanoi Old Town! A must visit whilst here.

10/10!

Thank you Hanoi Food Culture Restaurant for gifting us such a beautiful memory and experience.

We were looking for a nice, authentic Vietnamese restaurant for a family dinner out. Ideally we wanted to escape the chaotic and loud Hanoi for a couple of hours - all to enjoy some family time together and to have a chat.

This place was perfect for this.

The menu is very well thought out and has a great variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and cocktails.

The cocktails were grand!

The food itself was UNBELIEVABLE! Delicious, fresh, beautifully presented and served hot, right off the stove!

By this time we had eaten at quite a few great Vietnamese restaurants and we thought nothing else could surprise us or beat the previous experience. Well, we were wrong! This place was definitely the best of them all!

The service was excellent.
Our waiter Bao was very polite, professional, helpful and attentive. Thank you Bao!

Loved our dinner here.

Highly recommend it that you visit this place.

My wife and I did a cooking class here this morning. Short visit to the market and then a chance to get some hands on experience prepping and cooking four dishes with Rosie the Chef. Our meal was great and we finished with a Vietnamese Egg Coffee. Great experience and would recommend this to anyone.

Hidden in the middle of a valley, lies a warm and well decorated authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Highly recommend for good get together and comfort local food.

We came on our first night in Hanoi after stumbling across the alley and restaurant and safe to say this was absolute gem. We were seated quickly and the food was amazing. Ngan helped talk through the menu with recommendations and was so attentive. We stayed for a few extra drinks as didn’t want to leave. Really brilliant service. Thank you!!

We absolutely loved our visit to Hanoi food culture. After finding KOTO, I knew I had to visit HFC since it’s owned by a KOTO alumni.

I have a gluten free and no red meat allergy, and they were able to easily recommend dishes! Our waitress Thu was knowledgeable and understanding about my allergy, and the menu even notes on the front page that they can cater to vegan and gluten free!

From a wonderful ambiance that made for such a romantic dinner, to the fabulous staff (shout out to Thu who made our night so special!), I can’t recommend enough visiting

Such a fab place. Being vegetarian it can be hard to find great vegetarian food. I loved the food here. We will be back. Thu was such a beautiful person, service was great. Thank you.

This place is a hidden gem down the alley of Hanoi, everything was exceptional. Did I mention 241 cocktails at happy hour.

What a great find! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so attentive and friendly. The restaurant was really busy and so there was a great atmosphere - a definite must if in Hanoi and wanting some authentic Vietnamese food!

Nice eatery that we visited during recent stay in Hanoi. A very extensive menu was presented in English and showed that they had western and Vietnamese food available. I ended up getting the buffalo tenderloin which was delicious (had to try buffalo!). Very tender with a nice sauce and rice. Staff was very friendly and spoke perfect english. Very nice decor as well. Highy recommended if you’re looking for an easy intro to Vietnamese cuisine!

Very good food. The portions are huge so think twice if you wanna order a starter or consider sharing a main.

Amazing place, loved everything. Such a friendly service and great food. Nice atmosphere, the space is exactly what you want on your Hanoi trip!

Delicious food with great atmosphere and service.
We wanted to order a dessert slightly after 10pm and the server told us the kitchen is closed but apologized for not telling us sooner and allowed us to order.

Sat upstairs and had terrific meals for our party of nine. Ordered a variety of food, it was prepared perfectly and service (Thu was our server) was excellent. Highly recommend if you are in Vietnam. Order their house drink “Crazy Pho”.

We had a wonderful evening at this lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and our server Quang made some great suggestions.
