"Equally good for breakfast or as a hangover cure, Xoi Yen specialises in sticky rice topped with goodies, including sweet Asian sausage, gooey fried egg and slow-cooked pork."

Stuart McDonald

"Xoi is a kind of Vietnamese sticky rice, topped traditionally with shavings of lotus root and roasted garlic. The specific place we're steering you to, Xoi Yen, is open 24 hours, making it a perfect last stop of the evening after you've worked up an appetite dancing."

Hoang Nguyen

"Despite the crowd, we quite enjoyed our meal. Restaurants like Xôi Yến are some of the best places to experience that."

Huu Nguien

"And that famous sticky rice stall with a fabulous sales located in the old quarter of Hanoi - it's called Xôi Yến. Meanwhile you better try xôi xéo by yourself if you happen to be in Hanoi!"

David Joiner

"One of my favorite places to eat in Hanoi is called Xôi Yến. It’s located on Nguyen Huu Huan Street, and has, in my opinion, the best xôi anywhere in Vietnam."

Linh Thuy Tran

"So I ordered a bowl of xoi ngo with char siu meat and Chinese sausage and dug in. The mildly sweet and smoothly textured greenbean paste combined with the salty, fragrant flavor of both char siu and Chinese sausage to create a delectable taste."

Elizabeth Ann Steed

"Of all of the xoi (sticky rice) places in this area, I think Xoi Yen is by far the best."
