Hanoi – Hoian Restaurant & Bar
Description
A two-story riverside restaurant on the edge of the Ancient Town, with a second-floor terrace that gives you one of the better unobstructed views of the Thu Bon River at night. The food is solid Vietnamese – nothing that will rearrange your understanding of the cuisine, but consistently good enough that you won’t be eating just for the view.
The real reason to come here is the Full Moon Festival, when the lights go out at 6:30pm and the whole riverfront switches to lantern light. The upstairs deck puts you directly above the action without the elbow-fighting that happens street-level.
Staff are attentive (they helped shuffle everyone inside when rain hit, which tells you something about how the place is run). It’s the kind of spot where they’ll bring out a surprise birthday dessert without being asked twice.
Highlights
- Staff are consistently friendly and proactive - multiple reviewers flag this
- Food and drinks are reliably good, not just a view-tax situation
- Exceptional during the Full Moon Festival when the riverfront goes lantern-only
- No specific complaints emerge from reviewers, but expect it to be busy on weekends
