Right in middle of the Ma May street tourist mayhem, Xuan Xuan is perfect for a Hanoi-style, street-side BBQ.

Review

Xuan Xuan is a DIY streetside BBQ in Hanoi's Old Quarter. The menu gets right to the point with three options - beef, pork or beef and goat udders. Make your choice and out it comes with a selection of vegetables and fried rice or noodles. You cook up your meal right at the table.

The crowd's a good mix of locals and travellers. The locals haven't yet been scared off by the near total backpacker conquest of Ma May St.
