Amidst the dominance of Chinese and Japanese restaurants in the city, Vietnamese food is starting to capture a significant chunk of the Dabawenyo foodie market. For years, Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine has been in the business of bringing the best of Asian food by inviting Dabawenyos and tourists to “Taste Vietnam In Davao”.
Aside from its original location beside Casa Leticia Hotel in J. Camus Street, Hanoi’s new branch at the ground floor of Abreeza Mall lets Dabawenyos experience the signature flavors that Vietnamese cuisine is known for.
Best Dishes at Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine
I’m sure you’re here for our review on Hanoi Vietnamese Cuisine, so let me share with you my first dining experience featuring the mouth-watering dishes at Hanoi:
Goi Cuon
Fresh spring rolls with shrimp, pork, herbs, and vegetables wrapped in rice paper and served with Hanoi’s peanut sauce
Cha Nuong
Vermicelli noodles, grilled pork barbecue, pickled carrots, radish, lettuce, cucumber slices, and basil leaves served with rice paper sheets and dipping sauce on the side
You have the option to make your own Cha Nuong! You will be presented with a platter of the ingredients needed for Cha Nuong, and all you need to do is assemble them like a true Vietnamese roll expert.
Don’t forget the savory grilled pork barbecue that you can eat from the stick or put in your Cha Nuong creation!
