Directions

Rice rolls steamed off a cloth, a fresh Bib pick

Watch the batter go on: a ladle of rice slurry over stretched cloth and boiling water, steamed for seconds, then peeled off with a bamboo stick. Thanh Vân has been doing this on Hàng Gà long enough to have regulars who've been coming for decades.

The rolls hide minced pork and wood ear mushroom, topped with fried shallots and dunked in nước chấm. MICHELIN put it on the Bib Gourmand list in 2026.

Could not get over how good this was. Didn’t expect to order up to 3 servings because of how delicious it was! First we ordered the shrimp filling and it was sooo good, then we also ordered pork filling and it was even better! There’s an umami flavor to the pork filling. We also ordered Chinese sausage which we all liked. Definitely one of our highlights in our trip to Hanoi.

Recommended from a local at our hotel. This was the best tasting dish we had while in hanoi. Only locals here, quick service and worth the visit

Tried Vietnamese-style chee cheong fun (Bánh Cuốn) and it was absolutely delicious. The rice rolls were beautifully thin and delicate, perfectly wrapped around a flavorful mushroom filling. Dipping it into the sauce elevated everything—the balance of flavors was spot on. A squeeze of lime made it even better, adding a refreshing tang that tied it all together. We initially ordered one bowl to share, but it was so good that we ended up ordering two more. Definitely a must-try!

As a Singaporean, this is similar to Chee Chong Fan. I gave it a 5 star because it’s just simple, reasonable price and comfort food. Nothing special but just simply good. Skin texture is soft and smooth. I almost wanted second serving but had to try other Hanoi dishes 🙂 don’t think they speak English, I just said One and universal sign☝🏻 and went to take a seat.

If you're not familiar with Bánh cuốn, let me introduce you: thin, delicate steamed rice crepes filled with seasoned ground pork, chicken, or shrimp and mushrooms, topped with fresh herbs and shallots. Light, satisfying, and the kind of thing you could eat at any hour of the day. Bánh Cuốn Gia Truyền is the place to have them. Famous for good reason, likely on every food tour in Hanoi, and absolutely worth the visit. We had pork, chicken and shrimp — all delicious. They accommodated my request to leave out the oil and fried shallots without any fuss, which I appreciated. It was so good we came back the next morning and ordered two rolls each. The shrimp was my personal favorite. Don't miss this one. It's an institution.
