5 Spice Restaurant

5 Spice was a suggestion as a place for our group to try on our first night in Hanoi. It was a few blocks from our hotel so we did. We did t have a booking but they put us at a table for 6 and preferred we use a many course set menu but did say we could order off the menu. Two of us require gluten free and our hostess assured us everything would be or was gluten free so we chose the set menu. * see pictures below. The food was all very tasty and we asked for a mild chili pork and it was quite mild but they brought chili sauce and hot peppers for those who like it spicier 😀we ordered some bottled water and a iced ginger tea that was very good. Coffee came as an espresso so be sure that is what you want. Our hostess spoke and understood English very well and our main young server managed but was efficient and pleasant. We had a nice cool breeze thanks to the front door and the fan and it was a lovely meal.
