New Day

New Day is a small restaurant on Mã Mãy street. As you pass by, all you see is a small ground floor and the terrace which extends to the middle of the street. As it fills up, you can go to dining rooms on the upper floors or even eat in the kitchen with the chef.

The waiters are very friendly and joke with you when you try to order in Vietnamese and not in English. The food is delicious and the price is great. You can eat some hearty portions of rice and noodles for only 45,000 VND.

I’d recommend the menu. For 99,000 VND (about $7) you get a Pho, two Nem Ha Noi rolls, a plate of rice with some meat or fish in sauce, and dessert.

On Ma May Street in the old quarter, this restaurant is a great option when you're looking for a good price-quality ratio in restaurants. They serve generous portions with nice and friendly waiters. You'll have a different environment when eating here. You can grab a beer in the kitchen while your food is being cooked! Don't miss it!
