I've never eaten so well in my life. Mai took us to places with no English menus, no tourists, just incredible food. The bún chả stall she loves lived up to the hype.

The egg coffee at the original family café was worth the trip alone. Mai's knowledge of Hanoi's street food scene is unmatched — every stop was better than the last.

The morning market tour was such an authentic experience. Mai's grandmother connection made it feel like visiting family. Come hungry — you will not leave disappointed.
