New Day Restaurant

We heard very good reviews about this Place however after travelling from the south to the north of Vietnam we found this food to be quite expensive compared to other places and the food did not have as much flavour. The food was ok and place was clean, full of tourists eating however no one seemed to be excited or showing they liked the food. I don’t know how to explain but in the other cities people seemed to be excited and enjoying the food, chatting and there was “colour”. It seemed a bit grey here if that makes sense? 😂

Visited April 9th 2024. This was the best restaurant I encountered during my 11 day stay in Vietnam. The staff were wonderful and the food was marvelous! Especially the tofu (the one with mushrooms). The prices were also reasonable thought I don’t remember the exact amount. I really wish I can visit again someday.

If you like Guangdong dishes, this restaurant serves quite similar taste for the fried menu. Other than that, their vietnamese dishes are authentic and tasty. Staff are friendly and tourist oriented. The positive way. Price is higher due to it is located in the heart of Old Quarter.

A fantastic restaurant in Hanoi! It’s really clean and modern but still very authentic and attracts not only tourists but also many locals. The menu is very big with a lot of different foods. I can recommend the Pho which is very flavourful and the steamed aubergine which has a very nice sauce. We went there a couple of times and the service always was excellent. The prices are very good for the quality

New Day is a fantastic restaurant and definitely a must do while you’re here in Hanoi’s French Quarter. It’s Anglo friendly and accommodating for dietary requirements (if you have a peanut allergy for instance. They’ll do it!) - I got the set menu 2 that comes with 4 courses and each dish was as delicious as the last, the beef noodle soup being the highlight for me. Incredibly fresh, flavoursome and very well cooked. I was served by the delightful Hoa, she and her serving skills doesn’t come any better than this! It is a perfect place to sit outside watching the world go by. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to here. They also take international credit cards too. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is popular with both locals and tourists. Fortunately, thanks to my local companions, I discovered the "chef’s special menu”, which is not listed on the English menu. When you request the "chef’s special menu," the waiter will take you to the kitchen, where you’ll find a wide array of local dishes. However, to fully enjoy the experience, you’ll either need a good knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine or a willingness to be adventurous. If you prefer a more familiar selection, the standard menu is the safer choice. The dishes we chose, all Northern Vietnamese classics, were absolutely delicious. The service was attentive, and the prices were reasonable. With clearer presentation, this restaurant has the potential for Michelin recognition in the future.

Me and my partner had the spring rolls as a starter, chicken pho and beef pho. The food was delicious, hot and fresh! The English is amazing and the service is very quick. Great place to eat! The staff are very friendly and good! I would recommend!

We remembered eating in this restaurant during our last visit to Hanoi in 2018. It was always packed then, seems less so now. There are lots of staff but it is still difficult to get attention at times as they seem to spend a lot of time chatting amongst themselves. We ended up eating here twice for lunch and twice for dinner during our 4 day stay as it is one of the few restaurants offering alcohol other than beer at less exorbitant prices. That said their gin and tonics were very weak and Dalat wine, whilst only priced by the bottle on the menu is better value by the glass. Food comes quickly but luckily we have learned to order main courses after we had eaten starters. It was mixed in quality. We loved the pork omelette we had for lunch and the spring rolls we shared as a starter. Chicken with lemongrass and garlic was also excellent. However accompanying rice portions were tiny and when we asked for more we were charged extra. We noticed the portions were much larger for Vietnamese. The pork ribs with garlic and chilli was quite chewy although they did try to persuade us to have them with the BBQ sauce instead. A bonus is that cards are accepted for payment without an extra charge
