“Xin chào and welcome to my cozy Hanoi home!
I’m Hana Thu Ha Nguyen – a passionate traveler, a food lover, and someone who truly believes that the best way to experience Vietnam is around a dinner table, filled with laughter, local dishes, and good stories.
After years of guiding wonderful guests across Vietnam, I now bring the journey to my kitchen – where you’re not just visitors, but friends. Let’s cook together, eat like family, and share a night you’ll remember long after your trip.
I can’t wait to welcome you with a warm bowl of bún chả and an even warmer heart. See you soon!”

See a different side of Hanoi as you pedal through its tranquil outskirts, then refuel with a heartfelt meal in a local home.
