Best meal I had in Hanoi and one of the most beautiful experiences in my mouth of all time. I'm a lover of dill and that in combination with the fish sauce, herbs, peanuts, the bun and of course the perfectly cooked fish is a truly delectable balance of flavours and textures. Combining all these elements reminds me of when you put together those lettuce wraps at Korean BBQ the customizability is simply too powerful. I also really enjoyed the passion fruit juice it was very tart and added an additional dimension of flavour and comfort. Pull up immediately, I know you can buy 10 banh mhis for the same price but this is definitely worth it

Cha Ca is a unique specialty in Hanoi, featuring a type of smoked fish. Don’t worry it’s not salty or hard like typical smoked fish. Instead, it’s very tender and pairs wonderfully with roasted peanuts, rice noodles, spice vegetables and sauces. The menu is quite straightforward with only one main dish, making it hassle-free for those who struggle to decide what to order. I would recommend making reservation if you’re going with a big group. However, for small groups, the turnover is quite fast, and we managed to get a seat very quickly during our previous visit. Overall, a great place to experience authentic Hanoi cuisine Cha Ca

Amazing. Loved the food. BUT bring cash. No credit card accepted. So now I’ve had one of the staff run off with my credit card to probably swipe it elsewhere while I wait. Other than that, amazing place highly recommend

Cha Ca on Michelin guide. This dish is worth the wait. Just simply mix a little bit of each condiments (provided in the smaller portions) with the shrimp paste sauce (which is their signature) and have it with the fish + noodles. And dish is definitely in Michelin guide for a reason. For those who can’t take heavier flavours on the shrimp paste sauce, u can try with fish sauce (i still recommend shrimp paste sauce though). Love it!

This restaurant really live up to the Michelin star standard. It is a must try at Hanoi. The fried fish is delicious and so is the fish head soup, so appetizing. We ordered 5 sets for 7 people and they split the rice noodle and sauces serving nicely for 7 pax. 👍Highly recommended.

When exploring the vibrant food scene of Hanoi, Cha Ca stands out as a must-try dish. This traditional Vietnamese specialty combines perfectly cooked fish with a delightful medley of flavors. At Cha Ca Thang Long restaurants, you’ll find portions that strike the right balance. Not overwhelming, yet satisfying. The star of the show? Fresh fish, marinated and grilled to perfection. It’s a harmonious blend of simplicity and taste. The fish isn’t overly salty or overly sweet—it’s just right. Imagine tender chunks of fish infused with fragrant herbs and spices. Each bite transports you to the heart of Vietnamese cuisine. Pair it with a side of vermicelli noodles for a complete experience. Cha Ca Thang Long is on Michelin guide, and locals and tourists alike flock to these eateries. To avoid disappointment, make a reservation.

Not being a local, and with Cha Ca being a less well known Vietnamese dish outside of the country, I did not know what to expect of this Hanoi classic. The flavour of the fried fish itself actually rather subtle even with the tamarind marinade. However, when paired with the dill, spring onions as well as the usual condiments of chilli, fish sauce, peanuts and rice noodles - it’s actually a rather moreish dish. The fried spring rolls here are also decent. All in all it’s a nice meal but the Michelin Bib Gourmand certainly creates some inflated expectations.

Definitely worth visiting when you're in Old Quarter. The catfish gets cooked in front of you so it's kinda fun to watch. Mix it with noodles, chillis, sauce and more to get the perfect meal. We tried the spring rolls as well, not bad at all. Get the food with some beers and you got yourself an affordable delicious meal.
