Hanoi Snack

Mixed vermicelli with beef, crab meat, mushroom, tofu, celery, sliced pig's ear mince wrapped in banana leaf, and bean shoots is one of the best snacks in Hanoi but you must have it with soy sauce and chili otherwise they taste very bland. This place is located in a small lane at 8 Le Ngoc Han Street where there are two small restaurants, the other selling a different dish.

They also serve French fries with sesame seeds and some other noodle dishes such as Hai Phong noodles which are yellow, normal noodles with crab meat, noodles and tofu. If you want to sample a bit of everything, do not hesitate to ask them as they will make a mixed plate.
