Never eat at this place in Vietnam, my friends.I was staying at a hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and went with my girl to have lunch at a restaurant near the hotel. We had fried chicken and pho. The total was 390,000 VND.In the evening, my girl didn’t want to go out, so I went to the same restaurant alone to get takeout. Knowing she liked fried chicken, I ordered that. While waiting, I saw something disturbing.When other customers left, there was a lot of leftover meat on their plates. The waiter staff collected it, and what looked like an assistant grandmother sorted through the meat pieces with chopsticks, putting them into a separate bucket. They then set that bucket aside. They noticed I was watching and became visibly nervous. I was already suspecting they were reusing leftovers .when my fried chicken order arrived, costing 250,000 VND.This was suspicious because my lunch which included two bowls of pho and other food, was only 390,000 VND, yet now just one portion of fried chicken cost 250,000 VND. I didn’t say anything and went back to the hotel.Back at the hotel, my suspicion led me to check the fried chicken. Sure enough, I found pieces that clearly looked like they had been previously eaten from and then re-fried.From that day on, my trip was ruined. Every mealtime was filled with doubt and fear, and I couldn’t enjoy eating anything.Be careful, my friends.Ps:sorry for my English.

Ive always wondered if this happens with left over broth
As a Vietnamese who randomly saw your post, I sincerely apologize. Please make sure to put your review and remember, one place does not represent us all. Always check price before order anything and remember, they need you, not you need them. There are more decent place around which will not charge you a ridiculous amount like that.
Next time order whole fried chicken, do not chop or slice take it whole
Leftover food is collected and sent to farms to be used as pig feed. This is just normal practice in restaurants.
Name and shame
Another great reason to go Vegan my friends 😃
Here, we collect leftover food and use it to feed livestock instead of wasting it by throwing it away. Your concern is understandable; however, we kindly ask that you take the time to carefully verify the information before sharing or posting any reflections, in order to avoid any unnecessary impact on the image and reputation of our country. Thank you!
Avoid the tourist areas. Eat where the locals eat.
