If you are visiting Hanoi, avoid this place at all costs. The food was mediocre at best, but the worst part was that the prices were crazy. We were brought a menu that had Vietnanese and English and the prices were high, then the waitress was writing on the bill different prices, higher, hard to understand what it was as she was writing in Vietnamese and did not speak English. We ordered roasted duck which was not cooked properly, tough and chewy. We asked for it to be cooked a bit more (through Google translate) and they just stuck in a microwave for a few minutes instead. As this was our first night in Hanoi, we did not know any places to eat and just stumbled across this one. At the end, the bill came to around 1,200000 which is a lot for not a lot of food. We asked if the service was included and rhe waitress said no, but the recommended tip is 380000. She was an older lady, perhaps the manager of the place. This was a lot and the sheer audacity to ask for that was staggering after a below average meal that costed way too much for what it was. Rip off. So definitely not recommending this place. There are lots if nice restaurants in the Old Quarter that serve by far better food at a fraction of the price. Avoid this place.
