Quan An Ngon (Quán Ăn Ngon) is a popular restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam, which offers a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes and street food.

The place was quite cozy, and the food quite decent. Not really my favourite restaurant in Hanoi, but if you can only have one meal in the city… this is probably the place you want to be because of the great varieties.

Quan An Ngon is located at 18, Phan Boi Chau Street, Hanoi.
