VIET Restaurant Hang Da & Rooftop Bar

“We visited VIET Restaurant Hanoi on 1 May at around 6 pm without a reservation. We were seated promptly as the restaurant was still relatively quiet at that time. The waiter informed us about additional charges due to the public holiday and also mentioned that payment would be cash only as their card payment system was not working. Fortunately, we had enough cash with us, so this was not an issue. We ordered the deep fried pillow cake, bun cha, grilled beef in fresh bamboo, banana flambé, and a glass of wine. The food was served within 15 minutes and everything was well presented and flavourful. The quality was excellent for the price, and the dishes were particularly enjoyable. The total cost of the meal was 1,416,000 VND. The service was also very attentive, with Lucy taking good care of our table throughout the meal. Overall, it was a very satisfying dining experience, and we would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try well prepared Vietnamese cuisine in Hanoi.”

“I won't go back when I asked for my steak to be well done then told by waiter if I do I won't be able to chew it and will be tough tells me the meat is cheap. I had medium but it was soaked in gravy as an attempt by chef to give it flavour or make it easier to swallow but struggle as I did to cut tiny portions it was the toughest chewiest steak in Hanoi and driest chips. Nice venue , staff insisting I pay cash three times when an efpos machine is in front of my face then charged 5% on top of the 900k I spent on pumping soup , and Viet style steak and chips. I told the waiter I won't come back. It didn't cost me this much at a Michelin steak house.”

“This restaurant was hands down the best Vietnamese meal I had during my entire trip. If you are looking for a place that bridges the gap between high-end dining and authentic local flavor, this is it. The service was impeccable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu items and ingredients in detail, which made the dining experience much more enjoyable and accessible. A standout feature of this place is the beverage program. They bring cocktails down directly from the rooftop bar upstairs, and the quality is outstanding. It is a rare find in Hanoi to discover a spot where you can enjoy properly crafted, high-quality cocktails alongside truly authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Important Note for future visitors: Please be aware that this establishment is CASH ONLY. I highly recommend bringing more cash than you think you might need—the cocktails and foods are so good that you will likely end up ordering more than you originally planned! :)”

“Absolutely outstanding food. Perhaps the best we’ve eaten in Vietnam. Everything was so fresh and delicious we’re definitely coming back during our trip. Thankyou to Hieu for taking care of us and showing us how to wrap our Vietnamese pancakes. Really lovely service and a relaxed vibe. Perfect for couples and groups.”

“A lovely restaurant in Hanoi. Food and service were excellent. Lucy went out of her way to ensure we had a nice experience. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options - we had the vegetarian ribs (tofu) & pineapple, and a vegetable curry. Both were delicious. I also highly recommend have a Lychee Martini at the Cloud Sky Bar beforehand.”
