Hanoi Garden Restaurant

The best meal I had in Hanoi my entire trip. Every dish was delicious and it was also decently priced. Dishes I recommend: - Roasted Beef in Bamboo Stalk, the meat was so tender and flavorful. My personal favorite dish. - Roasted Duck Fried Buns, the duck was juicy and the fried buns were fried perfectly. Super good. - Grilled Pork Ribs Vietnamese Style, flavorful and nicely grilled. - House Special Nem Platter, 3 types of spring rolls (fresh and fried), 4 of each type. Nice to order when you have a larger group. The spring rolls are all distinct and delicious. - Stir Fired Morning Glory with Garlic, delicious - Stir Fried Kale with Garlic, delicious as well. - Seafood Fried Rice, portion was big and nice for sharing!

We went here on New Year’s Eve. The food was delicious! Especially the beef salad was nice. The spring rolls and the duck was also really good. As was the drinks, I had two Pina Colada. The staff were really attentive. And the surroundings are beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle on the streets.

Hanoi Garden Restaurant has a lovely ambience with festive decorations that create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. However, the food and service didn’t live up to expectations. While the dishes arrived first, the white rice took a long time to be served, which made the meal feel disjointed. The vegetables were overcooked, soggy and losing their texture. As this restaurant is recognized in the MICHELIN Guide as a selected restaurant, I expected much better quality. It feels like the restaurant is highly recommended to tourists, but the food doesn’t stand out as a must-try in Hanoi. There are better options in the city for authentic Vietnamese cuisine at more reasonable prices.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Hanoi Restaurant! The wine selection was top-notch, and the grilled prawns were a delight. The open dining area provided a lovely ambiance, and the pan-seared scallops with black rice were a standout. The pan-seared tiger prawns with tamarind sauce were bursting with flavor, and the stir-fried morning glory and vermicelli with crab were delicious. The house special nem platter was a hit, and the roasted duck fried bun was a perfect finish. It would be even better if they offered some traditional Vietnamese desserts. I will definitely visit again in the future!

Everything we ordered were good. The beef was very tender. We wanted some fresh spring rolls and the waiter kindly suggested to give us 3 of each kind. Nice ambiance with an outdoor garden seating. The only complaint our group had was the loud shouting coming from the kitchen. We were seated indoors, by the bar and we could hear yelling from the staff which sounded like people fighting. Not a good atmosphere for dining.

We made a reservation in advance and we found the place very nice and cosy. The staff was very attending and they brought us the order very fast. The appetizers and drinks were great (seafood rolls + some gin cocktails). Then the main course: I had some roasted duck which was hardly eatable - very dry and overcooked with a super chewey skin and my girlfriend had some tiger shrimps w/chilli salt flakes which were much better - also with an amazing sauce. Bottom line, I have mixed feelings about this place, definelty not a Michelin guide recommended place imo.

During our visit to Hanoi, the Michelin Guide led us to yet another fantastic dining experience. This charming restaurant is set in a delightful colonial-style house with an inviting open courtyard, where we chose to dine. The setting was tranquil and atmospheric, a welcome retreat from the bustling streets nearby. The menu offered a great variety of Vietnamese classics, often reimagined with a modern twist. Here’s what we ordered: • Bánh xèo tôm thịt: Fried Vietnamese pancake with pork and shrimp • Cà tím nướng than: Chargrilled eggplant with chicken crisps • Sườn nướng cơm vắt: Vietnamese-style grilled pork ribs Each dish was excellent. The Vietnamese pancake was served with an abundance of fresh herbs and salad leaves, which we wrapped in delicate rice papers before dipping into a flavourful sauce. The chargrilled eggplant was a standout—bursting with flavour, beautifully garnished with chicken crisps and peanuts. The grilled pork ribs were exceptional, perfectly cooked and seasoned, complemented by a crisp shredded salad and a tangy dipping sauce. Dining in the serene courtyard, just steps away from Hanoi’s chaos, made the experience even more memorable. This restaurant is a true gem and well worth a visit!

We had a wonderful experience here. All the dishes were delicious. The only downside was that they served the food very quickly so that we didn’t had much time to appreciate every one of them. We would definitely go back again and order dish by dish next time.
