I’ve been walking past this restaurant for so many years, and only now did the opportunity finally come up to go inside. And I’m so sorry it took me this long! It’s an authentic look of a Vietnamese restaurant and an equally authentic taste of the food which was served lightning-fast after ordering. The only slight letdown was the lemonade, as it took a bit longer to arrive. While it tasted good, I really dislike it when a lemon drink is sweetened because it completely ruins the magic of a proper, sour lemonade. My only tip for the place would be to skip the sugar entirely to make it absolutely perfect. Other than that, everything was great. I highly recommend Old Hanoi.

This is such a nice Vietnamese spot not far from the Prague castle! The food is quick and really well made, and the atmosphere is amazing. If I lived in the area I would come every week. I definitely recommend the spring rolls and crispy duck 😋😋

Authentic flavours, nicely furniched restautant, clean bathrooms. This was delicious! The Pho broth tastes right✔️ - i miss avalible hoisin and chilicrisp. Food is plated nice, although i am not raving about the small pile of cabbage that comes with the springrolls. Its actually a pretty large restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed, menu was easy to understand and had good variation! ⭐️ I recoment the lemonade! Its perfectly balanced, has real tastr of lemons and is fizzy. A truly refreshing drinn for a hot day!☀️

Had a good experience at Old Hanoi. The food was good with fresh ingredients (especially their tofu) and full of flavour. Their lemonades were super refreshing. The ambience is great, their service is friendly, and the location makes it an easy spot to visit. Worth trying it!!

A lovely vietnamese restaurant in Prague, we ordered the beef pho which was a great portion. I loved the mochi for dessert, their jasmine iced tea is also good! Very friendly staff and welcoming.
