My husband & I were staying nearby & dropped in one evening. Had cold beers & a delish meal of noodle soup & loved the ambiance & friendly, young staff. Next evening the food was less great, specially the crab/corn-less "crab & corn soup", (they took it back to the kitchen & filled it with fish) but it was alright... More

Gecko has a nice ambience and a team of friendly staff. It is definitely a small but cozy restaurant to go to. Must try: Hanoi traditional fish

We stumbled into Gecko for lunch on our first day in Hanoi. It was 42 degrees outside and unbearably humid. We ate a delicious meal and washed it down with cool beers. We didn't want to leave. We returned a few more times as the food is good value, the staff friendly and service good.

Gecko was recommended to us by some people we met at the train station, good choice. It is a no frills eatery, but the staff are friendly and speak good English, the local Vietnamese food is tasty and the prices great, all in all great value.

On recommendation of our guide we tried the Gecko and found the food so good and cheap we ate there over the next 2 days we had in Hanoi.

We wanted to eat a baguette and after a long search through the Old Quarter we found this little place. We ate the Chicken and ham salad toasted baguettes..yummo. Clean place, with reasonable prices for the quality of tasty baguettes you get. There was lots of Vietnamese food but we wanted a Chilli-free meal for a change.

Ate at many different Gecko restaurants in Hanoi and the food was always good and reasonably priced. The range of food is also huge so there is something for everyone.
