Xôi Yến

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Hanoi, a must visit if you're exploring the Old Quarter. It is one of the best sticky rice we've tried so far. We ended up coming back again for another dinner during our 4 day stay in Hanoi

A must-try! 🥢✨🇻🇳

The sticky rice is very sticky and delicious. My family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child) ordered sticky rice with pate, egg and sausage, and white sticky rice for my daughter. It's delicious with soy milk.

The food was delicious and very affordable. We didn’t have to wait long for the food, I think 5 mins which is a reasonable amount of time. We came here to eat quite late so there was only one variety available to eat which we were ok with. Only negative was we did see a cockroach running around, but what did you expect? This is Vietnam after. Regardless this place was a great place to eat and value for money.

This is street food, so do not expect much in terms of setting, but for what it is, it is delicious. Fresh, authentic, and very good value. A great spot to try real local flavors without spending much.

We had dinner before seeing this place and had to try. We got an order of special, pork belly on the side to share, and 2 bottles of Hanoi beer. It comes with a side of cucumber salad to cut the grease which is greatly appreciated. Came to 132,000VND or $5.5 USD. Sticky rice is nicely cooked, soft sticky but not mushy. Just sticky enough that we put the stewed pork belly (thit kho) on top and it soaks up the broth makes it even more delicious. The only nitpicking is the pork belly is too thinly cut, I’d much rather them cut in a bigger size and leave the skin on. Otherwise, all the toppings are so yummy. The pate was the highlight, I’d just get sticky rice and pate on its own again.

This is really super delicious. Their specialty is sticking rice with different kinds of toppings， I really like the moon beans paste. Their coconut is also very sweet and highly recommended. This is like nice home food and I would like to read it again!

Streetside food, literally. :) not think hanoi is the place for thit kho tau... but asking our hotel staff, they recommended this place. Super cool place. Theres always a Q to do takeaways but if u sit and dine in, a staff would take ur order.. this is as local as ure gonna get.. A variety of meat dishes... My aim was the thot kho tau. Its a braised meat dish with coconut.. There was 3 types of carb with it.. 2 different rice.. and tapioca.. theres some fried boiled egg. Super cool. Super good. Recommended to try.
