Cuu Van Long Buffet Restaurant

“Went here for lunch with my wife. The food selection was great especially the seafood, however I had to translate everything with Google lens which is fine but was tough to make decisions quickly and was weary for some allergies. Overall good experience especially for the price compared to North American seafood restaurants.”

“Really nice food compared to some other buffet restaurants in Hanoi, in the same price range. Everything looks fresh and is always replenished as soon as it gets empty. However, the usual tricks... Plenty of toppings that you never asked for, all over most (not all, fortunately) seafood served here, just to make sure customers get full quicker. Can't blame them though, competitors do the same. Service was really good, MUCH better than most competitors where staff members tend to look down on you and laugh at you whenever your request their attention. Price is not too expensive, not cheap though, but it fits the level of food quality and variety that you'll find there. Recommended!”

“Nice seafood. Great selection. But loud and busy. But still recommended. The best no tourists. 99 % only locals.”

“I recently visited Cửu Vân Long, and it was everything my mom hyped it up to be! This was my first time trying a seafood buffet in Hanoi, and I was thoroughly impressed. The variety of seafood is incredible—fresh and replenished every 15 minutes by the attentive staff, ensuring everyone gets to enjoy the best picks. I loved the crab, snails, and pipis—they were all cooked perfectly. The chicken feet salad was a pleasant surprise, full of flavor and texture. As for the buns, the egg yolk and matcha varieties were so unique and tasty. For dessert, the offerings were fresh and delightful, especially their yogurt, which was a great way to finish the meal. The tea was slightly too sweet for my liking, but it’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The ambiance, inspired by Cantonese luxury, added to the experience, making it feel special and festive. With over 200 dishes, this buffet truly delivers on quality and variety. A must-try if you’re in Hanoi!”

“Super unique experience for seafood lovers. We made a reservation but it was a bit of a hassle since the staff didn't speak English and asked us to send a message on Facebook. The buffet cost VND 398,000 for weekday dinner, and it offered many varieties of seafood and meat (if you wish to cook it BBQ style). We really enjoyed the experience as the food was fresh and there were so many options that we wanted to try more and more. The food was placed across the restaurant, so make sure to explore and know where everything is. Total cost for food & drinks for 2 people = VND 925,681 The only reason we couldn't give them a 5-star rating is because they served us hot beer, and when we asked for cold ones, they gave us ice. Evidently, the language barrier was a big issue, despite using Google Translator. Overall, the restaurant offers great value for what you get, and it is still a must-try. Just be sure to use Google Translator and be very specific in what you need. :)”
