Mien Luon Dong Thinh

I tried the menu for 60,000 VND and it was really, really good. Especially the value for money compared to many touristy spots is outstanding. There were also a lot of locals eating there, which is always a great sign. I truly think this place is a hidden gem and can highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hanoi!

Discover this place on the morning walks , was Michelin recommended so stopped here for a quick breakfast bit of eel. It’s was full of local who love what’s served . Quality was okay . We tried the congee , Crispy eel with rice vermicelli which was our high light . The fried eel cakes were okay a bit dry but not much flavour . Very reasonable cheap eat - A tourist should try 👍

Restaurant in old town Hanoi that was Michelin recommended. This spot serves crispy eel with noodles or in congee. I opted for the noodles dried with no soup. The enteee was served with glass noodles with peanuts , herbs and cucumbers. It was a pleasant experience as the eel was crispy with a hint of lemongrass.

If I can give more stars, I would! I'm a tourist from Malaysia and this meal is the bestttt everrr. You'd love it if you're into zesty, savoury, great textured food. So the herbs and optional lime adds the zest, the fragrant fish sauce adds the savoury, and the slippery glass noodles + thin crunchy eel bites really make everything go so heavenly in 1 bite. We went back twice in 2 days cuz it was so appetising. Also bought the packaged fried eel. They don't smell fishy at all. Highly recommended!

Got the first option on the menu - deep fried eel on a glass noodle salad. Possibly the best meal I had in Hanoi. Can’t wait to return.
