The street is known for the dry beef salad which is considered a specialty of Hanoi.

This is one of the most famous dry beef salad places in Hanoi. 

The store is on the shortest street in Hanoi - Ho Hoan Kiem street, just some steps from Hoan Kiem lake. 

The store’s space is narrow; hence, most customers sit on pavement with tables arranged with small plastic stools.

The beef salad has a great taste; beef is well-done and marinated, with beef tendon and dried beef liver. Its broth is described as sour. 

Not only beef salad, the store also serves other dishes such as: spring roll, steamed rice pancakes, bird salad.  Visiting Hanoi without tasting the dry beef salad here is a big miss.
