Viet Eyeglasses - Aeon Mall Tan Phu

The fish was still surprisingly a little fishy tasting, not sure if it's a catfish characteristic. But this dish was really so unique and really filling. The shop literally only has 1 item on the menu, the catfish, the do have 1 side of catfish spring roll too. I'd say that this place is a must try for a dish unique to vietnam. Definitely not disappointing at all. Service was also great as the staff cooked for us. Just lovely. I do find the taste gets a little sickening real fast, maybe it could've been just me, it's very jelak in my opinion. But I'd still highly recommend trying it out for a very unique taste.

They only serve set menu, mudfish and spring rolls. It look simple but taste extremely delicious and unique. Everything compliments each other. Will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi. Their passion fruit is surprisingly refreshing and good. Their price is set per head, that’s why you can see solo traveller or couples or big group of tourist eating in this restaurant.

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.

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.

I am so glad my friend recommended this restaurant to try this turmeric marinated fish dish which I understood is local to Hanoi only. The restaurant is clearly very popular among all the Vietnamese and was simply bustling. Turn around of tables was very very quick. Given they were very busy service was a little bit slow at the start but after we got served everything moved quickly. They help cook the fish and also assemble your first bowl of food for you. All the ingredients were very fresh. I would highly recommend giving this fish dish a try. It’s a set menu so makes ordering very easy. Some of the best spring rolls I have had as well ☺️.

this should be the legit one! not the outlet by the main road. they have the michelin recognition :) and this dish never fails, the fish with herbs plus rice noodles is such a great combination. can hardly find it anyone else outside of hanoi. highly recommended

We were recommended to try this dish - cha ca. It was amazing! This restaurant only serves cha ca, and it was done to perfection. The fish was nicely marinated, and the dill added another level of flavour to the entire dish. Food was served promptly, and we were shown how to prepare the dish. Google Maps brought us to one address, but we were ushered to another building, which looks like a newly renovated building. If you visit Hanoi, do not miss this establishment. You will not regret it. My son, who does not enjoy fish, loved it.
