Madame Hien - Vietnamese Restaurant Hanoi

BEST MEAL IN HANOI. Everything was tasty, and they did “fusion” right - the ingredients are creative but also well balanced. The outdoor seating in front of the old building is super cute. My favorite dish was the Foie Gras pho. The Passionfruit cake with curry ice cream was amazing. One thing to remember tho: the soft cakes are baked fresh and take 20 min, so plan ahead (well worth the wait) And the entire dinner came out to less than USD 100 for 4 people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Delicious food, I highly recommend trying the bun cha and a variety of the spring roll options they have. Also, there was a cute cat that sat with us as we ate. I noticed some celebrities had eaten here such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, so it must be good.

My husband and I ate at this restaurant recently. We had spring rolls and Pho. The Pho was probably the best I had in Hanoi. Also the coconut coffee was perfection. Our waiter ‘Lam’ was attentive without being intrusive and spoke very good English. The outside setting had a lovely ambience. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

We got there at 5 pm as Google said they were open but we were told the set menu dinner service starts only from 6 pm and the happy hour (buy 1 get 1 free) from 5:30 pm. We were offered a seat inside even though we got there early than said the opening hours. We had the Signature tasting set menu 900,000VND per person and boy, there was so much food! The food was fresh, chef's great skill and high quality products put in. Foie gras pho was out of this world and in fact, everything we had on the set menu was amazing. We were happy, satisfied and full after the dinner!

Wonderful Vietnamese dishes! New experience to taste bud. The building itself is historical. Right at the middle of old town. Yes, traffic a little challenge to get there but it pays off.

If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisines and fine dining experience then this is the right place. Their staffs are very caring and courteous. Also there are many spots to click beautiful pictures ❤️❤️❤️

We went for lunch. Grand parents and 9 year old were all happy with the food. We ordered the specials so we can try new dishes and even though we were not quite sure what we were eating, everything was super tasty and fresh. The staff were very nice too. There was a little cat walking around the tables. We wanted to go back in the evening and arrived around 9pm on a Saturday night. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed.

The food was good here but it’s sometimes hard where it’s traditional recipes over engineered for tourists. Having said that it’s still a beautiful venue. We had the red Tuna which we agreed with the tuna would be cooked medium rare. It came out without a touch of pink. It’s hard in a lot of Asian restaurants especially in Vietnam and Thailand to get Tuna cooked rare. Perhaps you will have more luck. The taste was still excellent. My caramelized pork had flavor but only the fatty pieces were tender. The deep fried shrimps were OK. Again a the sesame coating was plentiful but crisp and did in my opinion integrate well with the dish. I’d shell the base of the shrimp more to make it an easier dining experience. The tamarind sauce was good. Finally the chocolate pudding was good. I always do struggle where the portion sizes vs the west are so small. In a desert that costs so little to make you could double the size and keep the customer happy. Especially as the cake did not contain any explosive chocolate center. Ice cream was good. The ambience of the restaurant is good with both outdoor and indoor options. Staff were well presented and friendly. Note Google says it’s open all day. It’s not. They provide a snack menu to cover between lunch service and dinner. Should be made clear.
