#wheretogo I recently had the privilege to go on food tour in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital and second largest city. Our hotel concierge recommended us to dine here at Cha Ca Thang Long for Cha Ca as it was one of the best in Hanoi. Cha Ca is basically catfished grilled and fried at the table in front of you on a pan with spring onions and dills. It makes for an AMAZING experience! The is only 1 item on the menu and you can go wrong! You’ll have to pair the fish with their homemade fish, peanuts, and a plethora of veggies and sauces. It’s really good! The exterior of the restaurant is grand and yellow with a long walkway which leads you to the restaurant. I can at 6pm and spent an hour here, leaving when it was dark. Come try it for yourself! Address: 6B Duong Thanh Street, Cua Dong, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, Vietnam

There’s no better way to taste Hanoi’s soul than scooping up a sizzling hot pan of chả cá—grilled turmeric fish—right in the heart of the Old Quarter on Đường Thành. This is Chả Cá Lã Vọng’s hometown vibe: turmeric-marinated hemibagrus fish, golden and crisp on the outside, tender beneath; tossed tableside with scallions, dill, sticky rice noodles, peanuts, and a tangy shrimp-paste dip. It’s ritualistic, aromatic, and utterly dare-you-not-to-fall-in-love delicious. Bonus: this place feels local—not just a touristy trap. The setup is cozy enough for friends or couples, yet roomy enough that you’re not shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers. #localguides #foodie #musteat

I had the pleasure of dining at Cha Ca Thang Long in Hanoi, and it was an exceptional experience. There is only 1 item in the menu, the restaurant specializes in the iconic Vietnamese dish, cha ca—grilled turmeric-marinated fish served with dill and spring onions, cooked right at your table. Everything was served almost immediately. The fish was tender, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the fresh herbs and aromatic spices. The interactive dining style, where you stir-fry the fish with greens at the table, added a fun and engaging touch to the meal. Pairing the fish with vermicelli noodles, peanuts, and a tangy dipping sauce created a well-balanced and delicious combination. Don’t be surprise by the portion of fish to be slightly little, when we were almost done with our food, we were very full! The set comes with deep fried rice roll too. The service was attentive, with staff eager to assist in ensuring the dish was prepared just right. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, offering an authentic Hanoi dining experience. If you’re looking to try a classic Hanoi specialty of fish in a cozy and friendly setting, Cha Ca Thang Long is a must-visit! #vietnamtrip #newyearnewtrip

I visited Chaka Thang Long, a Michelin restaurant in Hanoi! It's a Vietnamese restaurant specializing in dried pollack! It was very interesting and good because it's a taste that you can't find in Korea. It was really delicious, but the staff didn't speak English at all, so a translator was a must! #OctoberTravelSupport #HanoiTravel #VietnamTravel #SoutheastAsiaTravel #HanoiRestaurant #HanoiRestaurantRecommendation #ChakaThangLong #Michelin #MichelinRestaurant #2024WishEvent #It'sTheBest

This restaurant serve the best mudfish that I have ever tried and there is even a staff to help you out with the cooking if you are unsure how. The interior design is outstanding with an alley walkway to go into the restaurant. From the menu, there only sell mudfish or mudfish combo set with spring rolls. The spring rolls are delicious too. Do head down to Cha Ca Thang Cong to try their fresh mudfish 🥰😋😋😋 #familytrips2024 #vietnamtrip

#thingstodo #hanoi #foodie #popular #vietnamesefood #michelin #musteat #oldquarter Hanoi city has many authentic and amazing Vietnamese food but one thing that you should not miss when visiting the old quarter is Cha Cha Tha Long which is a popular 1* Michelin restaurant that only services 1 dish. Yup, 1 dish! You will be served based on the number of pax per table and it comes as a set. With Spring Rolls and condiments to go with your main dish. The star of the show is the fried fish with tumeric, i believe it's either cat fish since it's a popular delicacy here in Vietnam. The atmosphere also has an old authentic feeling which add to the experience when dining. Do come earlier as this place is really popular among tourists and locals. The reviews here from others are also very positive. Not something you can find elsewhere.
