"Best bun cha in Vietnam? Many say 34 is up there. No presidents have eaten at the plastic tables, but you get perfectly moist chargrilled pork, zesty fresh herbs and delicious broth to dip everything in."

Geri Tan

"The keys to an excellent bun cha had got to be perfectly grilled pork and well-balanced nuoc cham. This restaurant absolutely nailed it. Cheap and good – you can’t miss this!"

Taylor Taverna

"Trust me when I say that this dish is truly magical! There was so much flavor in the broth and the meat was cooked to perfection!"

Keely Burkey

"The best bun cha restaurant is a matter of dispute, but Bun Cha 34 Hang Than (34 Hang Than) is popular with the locals – always a good sign."

Rebecca Safier

"This popular street food place has several great dishes, with the bun cha being especially good."

Izzy Pulido

"Slices of seasoned pork belly; a mountain of fresh herbs and salad greens; and last but not least, medallions of minced pork swimming in a bowl brimming with a fish sauce-based broth. Eat it here: Bun Cha 34."

Melvin Böcher

"Pork patties and slices of pork belly are grilled over hot coals and served with fish sauce, tangy vinegar, sugar and lime. Accompanied by deep-fried spring rolls, this calorically rich dish is served with garlic and chilies on the side for an extra kick. Try it at: Bun Cha 34, Hang Than."

Sabrina Tan

"This is probably the most authentic bun cha you can get. This stall is frequent by locals day in day out."

Xtreme Foodies

"Has sold Hanoi’s signature lunch dish for years. Grilled pork soaked in a complex fish sauce-based broth is served with fresh rice vermicelli noodles and herbs. If you want yummy fried spring rolls, then ask for 'nem'."

Gary Suen

"What set their food apart was the meat, served as round patties, wrapped in betal leaf and grilled on charcoal, giving it great aroma and flavor."
