This Bun Cha restaurant is very small, so you have to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to eat. During peak consists usually at 12 pm, queuing is a typical feature of the restaurant.

Each set is from 30,000 to 45,000 a VND.  Mixed type (meatballs and sliced meat) is much more popular.

There are many opinions on that people line up or wait for a normal meal like it here (or in many other places in Hanoi) is not worth it. But perhaps the crowded, such cramped place in the old town and a bit of chatting time make this a cultural identity of Ha Noi cuisine.  If you have the opportunity to come to Hanoi, this will be an interesting and memorable experience for you.
