Turmeric-dill sizzling fish cooked tableside, Hanoi-style.

Reservation Recommended

Well-known restaurant specializing in chả cá, Hanoi’s iconic turmeric-and-dill fish dish cooked at the table. Staff bring sizzling pans of marinated fish and herbs, plus rice noodles, peanuts, and dipping sauce for DIY assembly. It’s more comfortable and structured than most street stalls, with indoor seating and AC. Great as a destination meal to understand one of the city’s “must-try” dishes. (Facebook)
