Overview

This Hanoi Street Food Tour is a quick, but thorough look at the cuisine of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the center of the capital and home to its most diverse range of dishes. The famous 36 Guild Streets of Hanoi were built over hundreds of years by craftsmen and traders coming from specialist villages country-wide. During their migration to Hanoi, they brought many different facets of food that were welcomed in Hanoi and blended with the existing food culture here, leaving a new, indelible mark on the Asian street food scene.

Come with us on the Hanoi Street Food Tour as Incredible Asia Journeys take a look at the past and present of Hanoi’s most delicious dishes. Our guide is an internationally renowned food blogger and local of Hanoi, meaning he knows exactly what places to take visitors overwhelmed by Hanoi’s array of eating options. He will help us speak to locals about their wide-ranging stories and ask the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of cooking Vietnamese food.
