We had a wonderful meal here in the evening. It is next to the Temple of Literature so easy to find. Modern updated decor, and fusion food. The young staff were pleasant and helpful it was a great break form street food but still Vietnamese in flavour and style.

Very good food, well presented, particularly for the price.Ambience basic, but service excellent and friendly. The Chef has a Jamie Oliver approach, training some disadvantaged kids and doing a great job

Went here for lunch, but it's probably a more appropriate dinner place. The food is great: I got some traditional Vietnamese dishes, my friend got a more western chicken-style dish. Both were great. Frankly, I might have even preferred the chicken dish that he got because it looked amazing. The food here is very good overall, and they are doing... More

Just finished having lunch, ordered the pork rib and rice, and the club sandwich. Roast pork rib was fine. It was tasty, though a little tough. The pickles veggie side was terrible. It actually tastes spicy and old. The sandwich was worst. The wheat bread was hard and stale. I told my wife to spit out the bread and just... More

We joined up with some friends and went to eat at Koto. There were 9 of us and although it was busy and we had no booking they were able to pull some tables together and accommodate us. All the food was just wonderful, prices reasonable, and of course the cause fantastic.

a NGO restaurant - the food and service were great. Go and support it if you're in Hanoi! The price is reasonable and the variety of the menu is very good.

We visited Koto on a Sunday night, after the dinner rush. We had the pho, the bamboo beef, the ribs and rice and the bun cha, plus a couple of Chef's Selection appetisers. We were more than pleasantly surprised, this restaurant is fantastic! Great service by attentive staff, very accommodating and knowledgeable. When our waiter was asked for his personal... More
