Let's begin.

Let's talk about buncha, a Hanoi classic.

You get a bowl of juicy grilled pork, swimming in a warm, slightly sweet, and tangy dipping sauce.

On the side, you get rice noodles, fresh lettuce, and a fragrant mix of herbs like mint, cilantro, and perilla.

And what better place to try this iconic dish than at buncha ta, a spot recommended by the Michelin Bib Gourmand.

We ordered their signature set, grilled pork buncha with rice noodles and spring rolls, all for just $120,000.

And this is where our DIY adventure begins.

Some people like to wrap the noodles and herbs in lettuce, then dip it into the sauce.

Others, like us, just toss everything in the bowl, let it soak up all that flavor, and slurp it like a noodle soup.

There's no wrong way to do it, just find the balance of flavors that works for you.

And let's not forget the crispy spring rolls on the side.

with shrimp, pork, and veggies.

Deep fried to golden perfection, they added the perfect crunchy contrast to the meal.

Delicious, fun to eat, and super affordable.

10 out of 10.

We didn't even realize it was Michelin recommended until after we finished our meal, and we still gave it a 10-10.

That's how you know it's legit.

Coffee lovers, this one's for you.

Cafe Giang is the birthplace of the famous Vietnamese egg coffee.

It was created in the 1940s during a milk shortage when the inventor got creative and came up with a genius solution.

Whip up some egg yolks instead of milk to create a creamy frothy topping then pour it all over strong Vietnamese coffee.

And just like that, egg coffee was born.

We tried the original egg coffee for just $40,000 and let me tell you, it was like dessert in a cup.

Rich, velvety, and sweet.

It kind of reminded us of tiramisu or a coffee creme brulee.

9 out of 10.

This isn't just a drink, it's a sip of history.

Bun Bo Nam Bo is a beef noodle salad that hits all the right notes.

For 70,000 dong, you've got marinated stir-fried beef, layered over soft rice noodles, tossed with fresh veggies, and then topped with crispy fried shallots and peanuts.

Then everything gets a generous drizzle of that sweet, tangy dressing we love.

Every bite was bursting with flavor, and not in an overpowering way.

The balance was just right.

Honestly, the crispy shallots and peanuts stole the show for us.

They added the perfect crunch.

11 out of 10.

We also tried their second bestseller, the fried fermented pork roll for 60,000 dong.

It had that savory, meaty flavor going on and was supposed to be crispy, but ours came out kinda soggy and super oily.

A little too greasy for our taste, so we're giving it a 7.5 out of 10.

That said, we'd still come back in a heartbeat.

That beef noodle salad alone is worth the trip.

This next restaurant had such warm, welcoming vibes.

Major shout out to the staff who literally taught us how to eat our food properly, because we were definitely struggling.

We ordered their best-selling Vietnamese pancake for 129,000 dong, and this thing was massive.

A crispy rice flour pancake stuffed with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts.

The staff guided us step by step, placing the filling on the rice paper, adding in the herbs, then rolling it all up to make our own DIY spring roll.

Honestly, we made a total mess, but it was a fun hands-on experience.

Flavor-wise, it wasn't anything mind-blowing, so we're giving it a 7.5 out of 10.

We also tried the bol alot for 159,000 dong, which was seasoned minced beef wrapped in wild beetle leaves, then grilled until smoky and fragrant.

The beef was juicy, the herbs were super fresh, and just like the pancake, you You can roll everything up in rice paper or lettuce to make your own wraps.

It had this unique peppery kick and dipping it into the sauce brought everything together.

Definitely two of the more interactive dishes we've had in Hanoi.

Next up, we've got another Michelin Bib Gourmand pick, a legendary spot that's been serving pho for over 100 years.

It's easily one of the most iconic places in Hanoi for a truly authentic bowl.

They keep it real.

No MSG, just a clear, rich broth, simmered for hours with beef bones.

We went for their classic beef pho at $60,000.

The rice noodles had a great texture, and it came with a generous serving of beef flank.

The meat wasn't the most tender we've had, but it was still full of flavor.

We'd rate it a solid 8 out of 10.

One sip of that broth felt like a warm hug.

The place itself is modest and humble.

You'll probably end up sharing a table with some locals.

No frills, no fuss, just some really really good pho.

Welcome to Hanoi's train street, where you could sip your drink just inches away from a speeding train.

Yup, it's just as wild as it sounds.

With a whole narrow alley lined up with cafes, we visited the very first cafe that started it all, Railway Tuan Cafe.

Their bestseller was the Crazy Train Coffee worth 90,000 dong, and I had no idea what was in it.

knew is that it was their most popular one

and after i took a sip what is this turns out it's iced coffee spiked with alcohol strong bold

and a little sweet a total flavor roller coaster

and not exactly what i was expecting to be drinking at 11 a.m

but it was definitely interesting

so i'm giving it a quirky 8 out of 10 eileen went for something tamer the avocado smoothie for 60 000 dong.

It was creamy and refreshing, but the avocado was slightly underripe and a bit bitter, so she's giving it a 7 out of 10.

They also have egg beer on the menu, a little twist inspired by Hanoi's famous egg coffee.

We'll definitely try that next time, but the real highlight here was watching the train zoom right past you.

Don't worry, I'll pop up the train schedule right here so you don't miss the action.

100

But for now, I think it's time we move on to our next restaurant.

101

Let's eat!

102

Now it's time for Banh Mi Wars.

103

If you've never had a Banh Mi before, it's basically Vietnam's answer to the ultimate sandwich.

104

a crisp golden baguette stuffed with juicy marinated meats, a rich layer of pâté, crunchy pickled veggies, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of sauce.

105

And you get a flavor bomb of savory, sweet, tangy, and crunchy in every bite.

106

Today, we're trying out four of the highest-rated banhami spots in Hanoi's Old Quarter, and we'll let you know which one is our favorite.

107

Let's begin.

108

Starting off strong with probably the most popular one in Hanoi.

109

Banhmi 25 is famous for drawing long lines of tourists.

110

We ordered their traditional signature banhmi for 40,000 dong, packed with barbecue pork, a generous spread of pakki, and slices of smoked sausage.

111

The pork was sweet and savory with that grilled charred flavor we love, and the bread, perfectly crisp.

112

This one really hits that classic banh mi profile.

113

10 out of 10.

114

For restaurant number 8, we've got banh mi bread.

115

They have a few branches around Hanoi, and we decided to try their two bestsellers.

116

First up, the Hoi An Special with Char Shoe for $40,000.

117

Filled with tender, Chinese-style roasted pork, which had a subtle sweetness to it.

118

Combined with pate, pickled veggies, and that drizzle of sauce, it was bursting with flavor.

119

Next was the BBQ Chicken Banh mi for $30,000.

120

Smoky grilled chicken with a touch of sweetness.

121

Both were tasty takes on the classic.

122

We'd rate this place a solid 8.5 out of 10.

123

Next up, we got resto number 9.

124

Banh Mi Phah is part of a local chain, but don't let that fool you.

125

It's got character.

126

We went for their grilled minced beef with cheese for $40,000.

127

And honestly, it tasted like a Vietnamese-style cheeseburger.

128

And everyone knows I'm a sucker for burgers, so this one totally hit the spot for me.

129

The beef was so juicy, and the cheese added a rich melty layer.

130

We also grabbed a bottle of their homemade soy milk for $25,000.

131

A great compliment to the banhmi.

132

10 out of 10.

133

And lastly, spot number 10.

134

We hit up Banhmi Mama.

135

A cozy little stall tucked right beside the St. Joseph Cathedral.

136

Banhmi Mama won us over with their barbecue pork with pate for $30,000.

137

And out of all the banhmi's we've tried, this one probably had the best creamy sauce.

138

Plus, you can watch them prep everything right in front of you.

139

Despite the line, it's totally worth the wait.

140

So out of all four banhmi's, which one was our favorite?

141

Well, if we had to choose two, we'd probably go with banhmi 25 for that classic no-fail banhmi flavor.

142

And second would be banhmi pho for that beef and cheese combo.

143

It was basically a banhmi cheeseburger, a total guilty pleasure.

144

But honestly, you can't really go wrong with any of these four spots.

145

They're all delicious in their own way.

146

Next up, another Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant.

147

We tried the Chicken Dry Phu for $60,000.

148

It's basically a dry version of Chicken Phu.

149

No broth in the bowl, but it comes with a small side of soup if you want something warm to sip on.

150

The chicken was incredibly tender, served over soft rice noodles and topped with fresh herbs, crushed peanuts, and crispy shallots.

151

Flavor-wise, it kinda reminded us of the beef noodle salad we had earlier, just with chicken instead of beef and no lettuce thrown into the mix.

152

They also serve it with pickled garlic and chili dipping sauce on the side, so you can customize the flavors to your liking.

153

Everything about this dish was amazing.

154

We're giving this an 11 out of 10.

155

Easily one of our favorites from this entire Hanoi food trip.

156

How can you not love a coffee that comes with your face on it?

157

Amcafe takes Vietnam's iconic egg coffee and gives it a fun personalized twist.

158

For 60,000 dong per cup, the baristas draw your face right into the creamy egg foam.

159

It's like Latte Art 2.0 and it's not just cute, it's actually yummy too.

160

The Vietnamese coffee was strong and bold while the whipped egg yolk topping was sweet and velvety like a coffee-flavored dessert.

161

The bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of the foam balance each other out beautifully.

162

Such a cozy street-side cafe to recharge and snap some cute pics.

163

And cafe is a must visit if you're looking for something local and Instagram worthy.

164

9.5 out of 10.

165

This was our first time trying Ban Kwon, so we didn't really know what to expect.

166

But wow, we ended up absolutely loving it.

167

The rice rolls were these soft, delicate sheets filled with seasoned ground shrimp topped with crispy fried shallots.

168

The texture was spot on.

169

Soft and silky with just the right crunch from the toppings.

170

And of course, it came with a side of our favorite sweet and tangy dipping sauce.

171

We've literally been devouring the sauce all day.

172

It's so good you can honestly sip it with a spoon.

173

The dish also came with a side of cinnamon pork.

174

Yup, cinnamon pork.

175

It's a type of Vietnamese sausage with a gentle hint of cinnamon.

176

Totally new to us, but seriously delicious, and a great contrast to the shrimp rolls.

177

All the flavors just came perfectly together.

178

This one's an easy 10 out of 10 from us.

179

Time for another round of bun cha, because honestly, we just can't get enough.

180

This time, we visited a cozy family-run restaurant with nearly 3,000 reviews, yet still maintaining a 4.8-star rating.

181

That's actually pretty impressive, for just 70,000 dong.

182

Everything was nicely plated, juicy grilled pork patties and pork belly, swimming in that warm, sweet, tangy dipping sauce, served with a side of rice noodles,

183

fresh lettuce, and that classic mix of Vietnamese herbs.

184

This bun cha was just as good as the first one we had.

185

Absolutely delicious.

186

And of course, if you're getting bun cha, you just have to get the fried spring rolls too.

187

For 75,000 dong, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with a flavorful mix of pork, shrimp, and veggies.

188

Some of the best spring rolls we've had in Hanoi.

189

The whole place gave off that warm, home-cooked vibe.

190

10 out of 10.

191

Tranquil Books and Coffee is a peaceful escape from all the hustle and bustle of Hanoi.

192

With its warm, cozy ambiance, it's the kind of place where you can dive into a book or spend hours getting work done in a quiet space.

193

If you're a digital nomad, I highly recommend it.

194

There's plenty of comfy seating, both indoors and out, where you can comfortably set up your laptop and work for hours.

195

The staff was incredibly attentive.

196

They even came to refill my water every few minutes, which made me feel genuinely welcome to stay as long as I needed.

197

But of course, out of courtesy, it's still good etiquette to keep ordering something every now and then if you plan to stay long.

198

I went with the iced chai latte for 65,000 dong.

199

A smooth, delicious blend of spiced tea and milk.

200

Easily one of the yummier chai lattes I've had.

201

9 out of 10.

Eileen went with the chamomile citrus tea for 60,000 dong.
