The East
Northern Vietnamese cooking in a two-storey house, known for bún chả and crab spring rolls.
Bún chả in a house of ceramics
The East stands out in a busy dining area on Tống Duy Tân Street for what the Michelin inspectors call excellent Northern Vietnamese cuisine, and holds a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 guide. It occupies a two-storey house and also sells ceramics made by local artisans.
The inspectors name crab spring rolls with a crispy, fine skin and a savoury filling, bún chả Hanoi (grilled pork with rice vermicelli) as the signature, and a Vietnamese-style flan for dessert. The restaurant is listed as family friendly and accepts credit cards.
Menus change, so confirm what is being served.
