If you are a food lover and having lots of days in Hanoi, shouldn’t you forget to drop by such teeny restaurants listed below to try eating the real Vietnamese street foods.
Thịt Xiên
Vietnamese barbecue (Thịt xiên), pork grilled on the "meat cage", is one of the most popular street foods among young Hanoians. If you wander around any school areas, you will see a large number of students of all ages lining up and waiting for the pork grilled skewers with yummy chili sauce and mayonnaise. Bánh mỳ thịt xiên Đặng Tiến Đông (Address: Opposite to Quang Trung primary school at #6 Dang Tien Dong, Dong Da, Hanoi) or Thịt xiên Hoàng Đức (Address: 55 Chua Lang, Dong Da, Hanoi).
Bánh Đúc Trung Tự
Bánh Đúc in Vietnamese version (heated cake made from rice flour with pork, fried onions and vegetables) is hidden in a corner that is familiar to just the locals. Banh Duc is of its simplicity in ingredients but complexity in its preparation where the cook has to handle the process with great care to reach the the turning point for the soft texture and mild taste. It is quite hard to navigate your way to this little shop on your own, so don't hesitate to ask Vietnamese residents around there for help! Price: 15 000 vnd Opening hours: 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Address: #C2 Trung Tu, Dong Da, Hanoi.
Bánh giò Kim Liên
This is another familiar place to Hanoians. Bánh giò (Vietnamese pork pyramid dumpling) is a Vietnamese cake wrapped in banana leaf and made by glutinous rice flour and tapioca starch with meat, onions, mushrooms and spices inside. Address: #B16 Kim Lien, Dong Da, Hanoi

These are good resources for anyone planning a trip to Dong Da District. But I noticed that the options are all for Non-Vegetarians. What are the options for Vegans or Vegetarians in Dong Da District?
