Our guide suggested the New Day Restaurant as one of his favourites while in Hanoi and that we needed to try the BBQ Hot Pot. It was in a good location in the Old Quarters. When we arrived the place was just hopping. So we...figured it would be a bit before we saw our food & drinks. We had Hung as our server. He was so much fun. He was very friendly, funny and helpful. His English was excellent. Our drinks arrived quickly and were cold and refreshing. They took my mushroom allergy very seriously. Our food arrived quickly as well and all of the ingredients were very fresh & crunch. He showed us how it is done in Vietnam (cooking technique) and away we went. It is differently a bit different than home. Hung and other staff members where always swinging by the table to check in on us and having lots of laughs. We tried the Beef & Pork Combo for 4 people. It also came with oil, butter, bread, lettuce, rice, pineapple, green onions, tomatoes and 2 dipping sauces (I think I am missing something as well)
The Beef & Pork combo for 4 guests was 500,000VND ($29.50CAD). Personally, I felt like it was a far prices for all the food we received and the experience. I would highly recommend trying it!More
