we had a nice meal here. not the best in hanoi but nothing really to complain about. there were quite a few dishes on the menu that weren't available and it was pouring rain so they had a little problem with a leaking roof. the dishes we ate were fresh and well presented. More

My husband and I ate Restaurant 96 early May 2012 - we were seated at the front window allowing us to watch all the street activity while enjoying our meal. We shared spring rolls Hanoi style and for mains I had Bun Cha Hanoi style and my husband had duck with chilli and lemon grass. Both had beautiful flavours, however... More

I queried this for the meal to be whisked away and a short while later... More

I can really recommend Restaurant 96, the decor is lovely traditional Hanoi style, the food amongst the best and the prices low even for Hanoi. The staff are friendly and attentive, recommending local specialities to me and telling me when they were out of season. More

We sat in the lower area, and while there were lots of servers around, they didn't pay a lot of attention to us. The restaurant has wifi, although it took a bit to get it going. We were worried when the server didn't write down the order, and sure enough, he forgot one dish. We had the deep fried spring... More
