How far in advance did you make your reservations? What was the turnaround like?
I’m planning to visit Hanoi in September (hope the rain gods will take a break then) and definitely want to try this place!
The last time I was there was in 2008. I remember the lights went off at 23:00 nightly. Things there look so different now.
Hi Rodney!
I made my reservation on the 3rd of August for my dinner reservation on the 31st August 2025.
I messaged the restaurant on their official Facebook page and found that their response was prompt!
