Dungchon: Korean Hot Pot

Street: 8b/1 Lang Ha (just next to Hotel Fortuna)

For hot pot lovers a change in taste. Shabu Shabu hot pot is served with beef and thick noodles and of course kim chi and other pickels. The atmosphere is quiet sterile, but the food is very tasty and not expensive. Calculate for 2 persons around 250'000 Dong, drinks included.

Akatonbo: Moved to Cau Giay District

Although a bit far from the center now, still a good place for Japanese delights.

Update: Pizza 112

Food: 2/5

Using margarine with artificial butter taste for making pizza dough is very original, but tastes awful.
I have to find a new pizza delivery!

Seafood, Vietnamese

Menu promises a huge choice of seafood, but most dishes are not available. Excellent is the Tofu with seafood in a clay pot. The architecture is inspired by Vietnamese tradition, the airy buildings are build around a yard, next to the shore of West Lake. Price around 300'000 Dong for 2 persons.

Akatonbo: Lots of Japanese Expats

Excellent Sushis, freshness seems to be guaranteed due to the high attendance. Most of the guest are Japanese.
Make sure, what is included before you order a sushi platter for 2 (12$); we expected to get Gunkan, like on the picture, but the waitress persisted, that it is not part of this order.

Luna d'Autonno: Italian arrogance

Service: 2/5
Food: 2/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
Price: 2/5

Many publications suppose this place to be the best pizzeria in town. Maybe this was true a couple of years ago. Made this the padrones so arrogant, increased the prices and decreased the quality of the kitchen? Don't expect to get an excellent pizza (no salt, Thai basil instead of European) here and not at home, if you don't live close to the restaurant. Your orders will be declined, due to rain...!

In the meantime, many pizzerias have opened in Hanoi, so there is an alternative.

Price: 5/5

Service is a bit slow, especially when you sit in the 2nd floor, but friendly. The pizzas from the wood-fired oven are delicious and can be ordered in 3 different sizes. Seafood soups are tasty as well.
The restaurant is small and the air is thick. Not a nice place to eat, rather order the pizzas home.

Prices are very low, big pizzas starting at 65'000 VND, a glass of wine (Da Lat) 15'000 VND.
