Trang Tien Ice cream

$ (< $10pp)Street FoodOpen now

Hanoi’s classic ice cream institution since the 1950s.

Trang Tien is a legendary ice cream shop on Tràng Tiền Street, serving popsicles and cones in nostalgic flavors like green rice, mung bean, and chocolate. Locals crowd the sidewalk, often eating standing up or perched on motorbikes. It’s more about the atmosphere and tradition than ultra-gourmet ice cream, but it’s a must-visit cultural stop.
