Cha Ca Thang Long (6B Branch)
Chả Cá Thăng Long
A historic Bib Gourmand-recommended restaurant in the Old Quarter specializing in a single turmeric fish dish, stir-fried tableside over an open flame with dill, rice noodles, and shrimp paste.
In business for over thirty years, this brand has three branches on the same street. The one recommended by the Bib Gourmand is at 6B Đường Thành Street; it is easy to select the wrong branch of the same name on maps. The entire restaurant specializes in the famous Hanoi dish, turmeric fish: marinated catfish is pan-fried on a small stove at your table, then tossed with plenty of dill and spring onions, and served with rice noodles, herbs, roasted peanuts, and shrimp paste. The staff will help adjust the heat and add ingredients. It costs about 140,000 VND per portion, with a minimum order of two portions. There is also a set menu for about 176,000 VND that includes fish spring rolls, though the spring rolls may sell out, and prices may not include a 10% VAT. Reservations can be made by phone, making it suitable for groups of two or more. Within walking distance of the Old Quarter.
