Maison 1929 Vietnamese Restaurant

Maison 1929 is a Michelin recognized restaurant located in the heart of energetic Hanoi, with French influence and Vietnamese dishes it is a winner for sure! The food was very very good and the ambiance was good. I had the gilled shrimp as my entree and the soft shell crab salad to start, I could not resist the slow roasted pork ribs as a 2nd entree even though I could not finish them all, I was glad I ordered them because they were the star of the meal for me. Slow roasted and tender as can be, the flavor was heavily influenced with what appears to be a caramel-coffee based rich and decadent treat that was very very good, I highly recommend the Ribs!! A few glasses of Sauvignon Blanc rounded off my lunch perfectly. There is outdoor dining when weather permits and an upstairs for more space in addition to the downstairs dining area. I would give the food an overall rating of 82/100, it was fresh and prepared well and served in a timely manner. The service could have been better and a little more attentive but it seemed they were understaffed the day I dined so it may not be the norm. The price was more than average for sure but worth it in my opinion. I would go back just for the Ribs if nothing else!

I wasn’t able to take pictures of everything we ate, but I would say that this place has the best spring rolls I have had in Vietnam so far. I would go back just for the spring rolls. The service was really good as well, and the serving time was reasonable. The place is very quiet so it would be great for dates.

We order a few dishes for our family 6,we love most of the dishes, especially the roast pork ribs, soft & tender full of flavours. The grilled prawns is very fresh. The prices are reasonable. Will come back if I’m back in Hanoi .

Food is not the best.... We visited this place when we ordered, banana stem salad (possibly the only thing which we liked), fresh spring rolls-pork and shrimp, grilled large prawns (quite expensive for vietnam at 450k) and a mushroom dish. Food was very bland, and the prawns were served with a salt and pepper dip, which was too salty. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience. The staff were very friendly and nice.

Nestled in the heart of Hanoi’s vibrant Old Quarter, this Vietnamese restaurant is a true culinary gem that offers an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance that captures the essence of traditional Vietnamese culture. The appetizers are a standout feature. The spring rolls are nothing short of perfection—crispy, flavorful, and accompanied by a dipping sauce that elevates every bite. The salads are equally delightful, fresh, and bursting with well-balanced flavors that set the tone for the meal. For the main courses, the pork ribs and pork belly are the stars of the menu. The pork ribs are tender, perfectly seasoned, and practically fall off the bone, while the pork belly is rich, succulent, and cooked to perfection. However, the duck dish was a bit underwhelming—it lacked the intense flavors one might expect and fell short compared to the other dishes. The service is another highlight of the experience. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always ready with helpful suggestions to make your meal even more enjoyable.

This place was the best food we had in Hanoi (and all of Vietnam so far!) The flavours were incredible and everything was so fresh. We had the banana flower salad, fresh pork and shrimp spring rolls with the best peanut sauce ever, and a bun bowl with beef and Hanoi spring rolls. A little more expensive than other places in Vietnam but totally worth it and still a great price when considering the usual price of food back home! Cost about $25aud each including a drink. The waiter also offered us to try some Vietnamese wine for free, and was very professional and spoke great English. Highly recommend 😊

Food was the best part. Ordered Thit Kho originally but was unavailable. Was communicated to us only 15-20 minutes after ordering. Water was not poured for us which was a bit weird. Service team was sleepy and was moving really slowly.

we had very nice pan fried sea bass with passionfruit sauce and grilled prawn. the prawns are decent size and so fresh paired with black pepper and salt. so tasty and healthy. will come back again to try slow-cooked pork ribs on next visit to Hanoi
