No less than the old town, Ha Dong converges a variety of quality dishes that are “affordable”

In Ha Dong, there are enough from wholesale markets to popular dining areas and luxurious cafes, comparable to Hanoi’s old quarter.

Since Hanoi’s first elevated railway was officially put into operation, Ha Dong has been mentioned more and more. However, most people still can’t imagine what this area has, but if they have lived here, the frequency of food devotees going to the old town will decrease over time.

Ha Dong market is likened to the Dong Xuan market

The similarity between these two markets is that they both exist for a long time and are a gathering area for a series of wholesale stalls selling goods from clothes, fabrics, shoes, bags, and accessories to confectionery, mechanical goods… and seafood, birds, live – cooked…

Above all, in Ha Dong market is also known for its famous food stalls and decades old. Among them, Banh Gio and bun cha are the most appreciated by the people.

Around the market gate is a row of handwritten signs scribbled “hot spring rolls”. However, people often jostle each other in a trolley of a gray-haired old women with rumors that it has been sold since 1993, or is located at 76 Le Loi.

The cakes here are according to the standard of “hand-made” when the crust is flexible, the filling is seasoned to taste, but the weight is uneven. Those who are lucky enough to eat one full of people, on the other hand, are also “slightly sad” because theirs is also 13,000 – 20,000 VND, but a bit less.

At the banh gio shop, they also sell duck eggs, tofu and sometimes even glutinous rice cakes (in some places it is called banh chung, banh bum).

A corner of the steps, the entrance to the big gate of Ha Dong market is a somewhat old mixed tea shop that, if you don’t look closely, many people will ignore it because they think it only sells iced tea. Here the owner serves the most basic types such as green bean tea, black beans, red beans, with toppings of black jelly, pearls and coconut fibers.

In Dong Xuan, there are bamboo vermicelli, while in area B, Ha Dong market is also famous in the region. The price of a serving of bun cha has increased to 50,000 VND according to the market, but the quality and fast, welcoming service of the two owners have remained intact over time. If you like grilled pork with half meat and half fat and the taste is just right, you will be very happy when enjoying it here.
