🇻🇳 Top authentic local food in Hanoi you wish you knew - Vietnam

Vietnamese food is definitely a big part of the culture. From coffee to salad to noodles, I am sure you will enjoy the fresh and simple food as much as I do. For example, food in the North, Hanoi is comparably lighter and less intense than the food in the South. If you are a food purist or big on tasting all the ingredients in its authentic flavor, you must not miss Hanoi's good local street food. *Guide will be updated whenever I have new recommendations!
