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.

You lost me at paying 390k for a pho and some fried chicken…
Oh no!! That’s disgusting! Now we need some advice where to eat in Ha Noi (old quarter) where the food is fresh and safe
That is part of travelling , getting ripped off
Thank you for sharing this!! It’s very important to know this as it’s easy enough to get sick here, and that just worsens it!
Most places in the old quarter are bullshit and scamming. Vietnam has the worse scams I ever seen in my life. If you are anywhere near may may street just run!!!!
That’s called pak pak in the Philippines
Have you ever see the breaking bad series? Try to put all pieces of meat together to see how was your original chicken looks like. If it have 3 thighs and 1 wing then you got something in certain, no more doubt
Weird things happen in the north. Travel south. Enjoy.
Vietnam same India standard, just get used with it.
Omg.. how can they do that so disgusting…🤢
