Cha Ca Thang Long

Signature dish is cha ca which is a grilled fish heat up on the table with a stove and pan. With tons of herbs dill green onion, it's fresh tasting and juicy. The fish did not taste fishy. The set come with 2 spring rolls per person. We ordered 2 sets for 2 people. We were seated upstairs and while the outside of the building looks quite impressive, the inside was a bit run down but I guess that's part of the charm. It was a bit noisy as there's a big table of families with kids. Everybody was speaking loudly. Service was okay. When we arrived a server just told us to wait outside as there's an outdoor area. But it was full too and nobody directed us what to do. We ended up going back inside and was given a table on 2nd floor.

Visited this place for lunch as we had heard that this place is a Michelin star restaurant. And rightfully so !! They have lots of seating space available, and has an open and lighted ambiance.....pretty simple I must say. We planned on having some traditional vietnamese pho , herbs , Grilled fish, spring rolls and local beer. One of the staff came and helped us grill the fish and the herbs properly and also taught us how to make a bowl by adding the correct ingredients and also use chopsticks. 😄 Overall nice experience, however I was surprised to find that they do NOT accept credit /debit cards. They have to be paid in hard cash, and that was unfortunately the only option. This is reasonably frustrating for foreign tourists most of whom I believe rely on plastic money nowadays. Hence, striking off a star. Everything else is fine

Brought here by local colleagues. First time trying it and it was delicious. The chunks of the fish was tender and flavourful though I didn’t like the included fish stomach which was chewy. The fish went well with the rice noodles and the fermented shrimp sauce. The place was absolutely full with people waiting for tables. I arrived at 6pm on Monday and it was maybe 1/3 full but within 30 mins it was full, so come early

This place has a nice and comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was quick even though the restaurant was busy. I would definitely come back.

this was very delicious grilled fish and veg. but you'll have to be okay not to see a menu. you just sit, and the hotplate gets served. we ended up paying 740,000 VND for 4 pax. that feels rather steep for Hanoi prices. wonder if we got charged the tourist price 🤔 hence the convenient lack of a menu.
