Bun Thang

Bun Thang is not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing.
Fried Sticky Rice
When it comes to a hearty and energizing meal, fried sticky rice from Hang Dieu is a must-try. Priced between 20,000 and 55,000 VND per plate, this dish stands out with its crispy outer crust and perfectly sticky rice inside.
Bun Cha
Hanoi’s Bun Cha never disappoints.
Bun Cha is a simple yet special dish. It’s either a love or hate relationship with this dish—you’ll either be put off by the smell or fall deeply in love with it. A plate of golden-fried tofu, sliced vermicelli, and optional additions like pork hock, com cake, and fried intestines is all you need. While you can opt for a dipping sauce other than shrimp paste, the unique flavor of Bun Cha is best experienced with it. Try it at Co Tuyet in Hang Khay for just 35,000 VND per serving.
Wonton Noodle Soup
For a satisfying lunch, head to Hang Chieu for a hearty bowl of wonton noodle soup. At around 40,000 VND, you’ll get to enjoy a unique blend of flavors from the chewy noodles, shrimp and pork wontons, and a broth made from simmered bones.
Clam Porridge
Clam Porridge is perfect for any meal.
Clam porridge is a comforting dish that can be enjoyed any time of day. It’s not as common as other Hanoi street foods, but there are several decades-old shops in the Old Quarter specializing in this tasty treat. A bowl of warm clam porridge from the Dong Xuan area, priced under 30,000 VND, is a delicious and affordable option.
Beef Jerky Salad
When it comes to beef jerky salad, the Old Quarter offers two popular varieties: traditional beef jerky salad and a mixed version that includes beef offal. This well-known Hanoi street snack is delicious and easy to eat. Vendors selling beef jerky salad often offer other treats like clear shrimp paste cakes and roasted quail eggs. Head to Ham Long or Hoan Kiem Lake to indulge in this filling dish for around 40,000 VND per serving.
Grilled Chicken Feet
Don’t miss out on grilled chicken feet when in Hanoi.
Not many people know about the famous grilled chicken feet in the Old Quarter’s Ngo Gach area. Marinated to perfection and grilled to order, these chicken feet are always hot and fragrant. The busiest time for this dish is usually in the evening. For less than 100,000 VND, you’ll have a delicious and filling meal.
Hot Crullers
Enjoying a plate of hot crullers in the afternoon is a long-standing tradition in Hanoi. Unlike elsewhere, these crullers are only fried upon request, ensuring a fresh and tasty treat. Dip them in the accompanying fish sauce and enjoy with some shredded papaya. Head to Hang Bong for this classic snack, where a few dozen thousand dong will fill your stomach.
