Unique local cuisine love love love I love the texture of sticky rice and the food included Famous in Hanoi and I don't know how to say

Found this place on a travel blog as a great spot for local Vietnamese food in the old quarter of Hanoi, it did not disappoint. You basically build your own bowl of food and this was sooo good. Watch how much add-ons you order as...your bowl does not get bigger, you just have to cram it all together. Super delish.More

We had sticky rice at Xoi Yen for breakfast. We liked the turmeric sticky rice. The traditional sticky rice comes plain with just the rice. It’s better with the other ala carte dishes that you can order.

Since they have a lot of different toppings that quite fit everyone's taste. The new restaurant in Tran Hung Dao is very much more taken care of, in terms of cleanliness. Price is a bit high but it's ok in general.

Sticky rice with honey pork belly - so delicious. Only the staff can be a bit grumpy, but the food is really good. A must try for your Hanoi trip.

Very popular with the locals. English menu available. The sticky rice tastes very good together with the stir-fried chicken.

Something different, Vietnamese version of sticky rice with lots of toppings to choose from. We didn’t know what to choose so we tried abit of everything. Was an interesting flavour and good for a quick meal. Also do try the corn drink, it is quite...yummyMore

When we arrived at 7.30pm, the place was pretty crowded with long queues for takeaways. No one entertained us so we made our way to the 3rd level with empty tables and the staff came shortly with their menu. Their corn sticky rice was unique,...something we had not seen or might have missed in south and central Vietnam. The dishes were simple yet okay for our tastebuds. Would suggest to check this place out at least once if you’re visiting Hanoi for the first time. But don’t expect the kind of service you would enjoy in a restaurant, just walk in and find yourself a seat, grab the menu and start ordering.More

The staff are extremely unfriendly and do not speak any English (not a criticism), so clarification on anything is out of the question! Had corn sticky rice with dried onions and a spicy sliced cucumber side to add as a topping. It was delicious!

Pic no 1 is xôi xéo (sticky rice with dry onion and fat), thịt kho tàu (chinese braised pork), chả quế (roasted cinnamon pork paste) Pic 2 is xôi ngô (sticky rice with corn), thịt xá xíu (chinese barbeque meat), ba tê (pate). It is...presumably to be satisfying for most Asians' taste buds as rice is a staple food for many of us. Hence, for Asians who like khao niaw (sticky rice in Thailand), 糯米 (nuo mi- glutinous rice in Malaysia, Singapore etc) should find xôi at Xôi Yến palatable.More

we were there 3 times within 3 days . WHY?? Not about the environment and service. As the food :chicken , sticky rice(the highlight) , Vietnam sausage are tasty. l would recommend to try.

It is famous for its sticky rice,last year i had dinner here,ordered xoi xeo,and soya bean drinks,you can add many toppings on the rice,the more you add the more you have to pay,but what i ordered is just sticky rice with dried onion and fat,very...simple taste.the soya bean drink is good.may try again next time.More
