What to Expect from a Hanoi Street Food Tour

Hanoi’s street food tours are typically guided by locals who know the best spots hidden in plain sight. These tours wind through narrow alleys and bustling markets of the Old Quarter, where every corner presents an opportunity to taste something new. Participants are led from one vendor to the next, sampling a variety of dishes ranging from grilled meats to refreshing desserts.

Among the most iconic dishes you can expect to try are:

1. Pho – Vietnam’s national dish, this aromatic noodle soup is a must-try, whether you prefer the beef or chicken version. Many consider Hanoi to be the birthplace of pho, so there’s no better place to savor this comforting classic.
2. Bun Cha – A local favorite, this dish consists of grilled pork served with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, and a tangy dipping sauce. It’s a delicious balance of flavors, especially when paired with a crispy nem (spring roll).
3. Banh Mi – Vietnam’s take on the French baguette, banh mi is stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as pork, pate, pickled vegetables, and herbs. Perfect for those on the go, this sandwich is a popular choice for a quick yet satisfying meal.
4. Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng) – For a unique take on coffee, Hanoi’s famous egg coffee is a must-try. This creamy, rich drink is made with beaten egg yolks, sugar, and condensed milk, resulting in a velvety texture that coffee lovers will find intriguing.
5. Nem Ran (Spring Rolls) – Deep-fried to crispy perfection, these spring rolls are filled with a mix of pork, shrimp, or vegetables. They’re served with a dipping sauce that adds just the right touch of sweetness and acidity.
