Chim Sao - Ha Noi

The menu is large and varied, from water buffalo to pigeon and traditional beef and pork. The staff are friendly and attentive and I highly recommend. As others have said, the rice came out last so order this first

We spend one of our best nights in hanoi in this place. Amazing and authentic food and very friendly service. Yes noisy, but we come in contact with the locals and were so happy to come there. It is also a good option for vegetarians.

We went to this restaurant on our second day in Vietnam. Chim Sao has all good northern Vietnamese dishes and they are really tasty too. The bathroom is a bit messy and dirty but that is common in Hanoi. We went to this restaurant with 2 persons and ordered 4 dishes. We got a lot of food. I think that a person can eat 1 dish each best so to taste everything it is better to come in a bigger group

This place offers home made food like if you were invited to a Vietnamese friends house. The portions are bigger than you can expect. We asked the waiter in english the size of the portion and hinted its quite small. And it was a mistake to order too many dishes and couldn't finish them at all. Think 3 to 4 dishes would be enough for 2 adults. We ordered 6 dishes. The taste of the food... I'm not sure how to describe it since I didn't know what to expect. Its pretty rustic no frill cooking. Some dishes were blend and some dishes tasted vinegar sour that didn't go well with the ingredients. But it was a fun experience tasting other food items than pho, Banh mi, Bun Cha and Banh xeo. I'd say 3.5 stars

Great North offers a wonderful Vietnamese dining experience. The menu is extensive, featuring dishes that go beyond the usual offerings. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. However, the highlight is the charming and sophisticated atmosphere. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit for a memorable lunch or dinner in Hanoi. Highly recommended.
