Amazing deal for a blend of yummy western and vietnamese food. Especially great for vegetarians ... make sure and order a "mocktail" (which is really just an incredible smoothie).

Great very cheap food and drinks. Manager was very nice and helpful. Most staff can speak English however some that don't but the manager is always close buy to help. Only thing I would say is they take your plates away too quickly and hang around your table a little until you finish.... I guess that's because they have to... More

4.5 stars! My family and I (8 of us) visited the Gecko branch on 85, Hang Bac Street on 2 occasions. In our first visit, it was during the happy hour and pizza and some drinks were sold at reduced prices. We came with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised to find that not only does it has a wide... More

We called in most days for an afternoon drink, they offer good specials with the beer. Had dinner one night, good value. We ordered the "vegetarian spare ribs" out of curiosity - turns out it is tofu. The toilets are a bit questionable - but the food, drinks and service are good.

We went there on our first day when we arrived since it was next to our hotel and we ended up going there another two times. The food was really good, especially the seafood dishes, price was reasonable and it surely was service with a smile! :)

I ate several times at different Geckos and each time was just as wonderful as the first. Great variety from Vietnamese, to Western, to Italian food all done extremely well. Fantastic customer service.

Gecko, this is a string (8) of small to medium size restaurants all under one owner and CEO (well that's what it says on his card) in and around the old quarter. Don't be fooled by the other places of this name, the real thing has the name above the door with the words "cheap and cheerful" under it. the... More

Recommended by friends this afternoon so I came and had dessert. Now just finished the Chicken with Curry dish and it's superb. I've got 2 more days here in Hanoi, so I know where I'll be for lunch and dinner. Hmmm.....got a 24 hour bus journey to Laos; wonder if they'll do a takeaway?!! 😕

We went for dinner here and found the food to be very tasty. We had the largest size of pizza to share and it was big enough for 2. It was very fresh and we didn't have to wait for too long. The pizza was reasonably priced and the beer was cheap with the happy hour offers. There's a great... More
