There are four levels. If it's a nice day make sure you walk up to the top which is rooftop dining and much nicer than the first floor, which can be a little stuffy. Restrooms were very clean and well stocked. Service is good. English seems to be understood by everyone enough to order and ask questions. Food good, nice... more

Wide variety of freshly prepared Asian and Western dishes. The menu is creative with many healthy choices. Food is delicious and the service is attentive. The restaurant is part of an NGO that takes young adults from the streets and trains them to work in the food service industry. The restaurant is in a building with multiple floors - if... more

We visited here as part of a private tour, and upon entering, we were kind of rolling our eyes. We had requested a non-touristy local place (no tour buses) for lunch, and when we walked in here, we saw nothing but white faces, all sitting at tiny tables with a booth on one side and chair on the other, typical... more

This is a really cool place. It is run by former street kids. They couldn't be more helpful and the food was great. The place has 5 levels. We saw 2 of the levels and they were great. I would recommend this place if in Hanoi. more

We really needed a steak for a break in our noodles/rice diet. they cooked beautiful food with great flavor and presentation. It also supports such a wonderful cause - they are a non-profit organisation that helps to train street kids and give them a career. We were glad we make the trek across town to dine here. It is a... more

My boyfriend and I decided to eat there one night after reading about it in our lonely planet book. We were impressed with the decorations on the ground floor, but were seated on the highest floor with the least decorations/ambience-though its not such a big deal. The thing that did bother me was the airconditioning. They had one that was... more

We had the bun noodles with pork and the chicken skewers from the "Vietnamese" side of the menu. Both were just delicious. Although the food is more expensive than at street vendors and local restaurants in Hanoi, it is much cheaper when compared with other tourist-priced food such as the buffet at Brother's. The quality of service varies a great... more

Having read some reviews on this place, and since we were in the area, we decided to go for lunch. However, despite wishing to help a good cause, I was surprised at how expensive it was, as the prices were almost double what we had read. The food was good, but for the price you would expect something a lot... more

I really enjoyed this place, great food, superb service, nice chill room on the 2nd floor, just a perfect place to relax after hot sunny day in Hanoi. Prices are higher than in different places but you do it for good cause to help others. more
