MẸT Vietnamese restaurant & Vegetarian Met 4 — Restaurant in Hà Nội

Great restaurant for families and people wanting to get introduced to vietnamese cuisine in a safe way, but not for the foodies at heart.

Saw phenomenal good reviews for this place and chose to come to eat lunch by this restaurant. It looks great on the outside and the atmosphere is good, however, you will mostly see tourists at this place. Service was good and the place seemed clean enough. Everything seemed great, but as I saw the menu they had dishes all over the place, both northern, central and southern style; fried rice/noodles and curries, which made me a bit worrisome of how authentic the taste would be. I ordered the classic Hanoi dish 'bun cha' and some 'goi cuon'. The bun Cha was Ok at most, nothing exciting, the meat was served on this sizzling plate that made it look good, but the meat was dry, lacked flavour and together with the salad, herbs, chili and fish sauce it didn't really hit the spot. The goi cuon was also just ok, the fresh coconut I got was really good and sweet though. So all in all the place was just ok for food, but had a good ambience. If you want a safe place to eat, with good service and nice surroundings go for it. If you're looking for authentic vietnamese food with great taste some tips I got from my experience here: 1) Look for places that specializes in max 3 different dishes, as there are many places specializes in only a few dishes in Vietnam, and they have to depend on that one/few dishes to survive. 2) Look for a place with a lot of locals, this a rule of thumb everywhere in general, as the food normally is more authentic and also reasonable prized. 3) If you're not too worried about eating ln the streets, these places are normally really yummy and has that 'mom/grandmom' feeling to it (be aware that there should be a fairly high turnover, to hopefully prevent tummy issues, and might be a good idea to sanitize the utensils before...

Having lunch at MET was an experience like no other, and it was made extraordinary by Abby, the most outstanding waiter I’ve ever encountered. From the moment I was seated, Abby’s vibrant energy and genuine warmth turned an ordinary afternoon into something truly special. Her knowledge of the menu and recommendation was impeccable. Abby’s service was flawless; she anticipated every need before I even realized it, from perfectly timed refills to small, thoughtful gestures that made me feel truly cared for. Her charisma and attention to detail elevated the meal, making it more than just lunch—it was a celebration of exceptional service. While the food at MET was absolutely superb, Abby’s unparalleled care and radiant personality are what will bring me back again and again.

Abby was reason why I returned, and had great experience because of our waiter, Tuna. His attentiveness, genuine warmth, and excellent recommendations truly elevated our evening. His knowledge of the menu helped us choose dishes that were absolutely divine. We had a great local wine, which was perfect with recommended meal. The food was incredible, but it was Tuna’s exceptional service that made the night unforgettable. I can’t wait to return and hope to be lucky enough to be served...

For dinner I went to MET Restaurant. When I've arrived I directly felt very welcomed. The restaurant itself is cozy and laid back. You don't need to follow a dress code so you can come here very spontaneous - of course it could happen that you may need to wait a bit for a free table depending on the time you arrive here. They have a wide variety of Vietnamese food with a very well written menu card. The staff here is very kind and you can ask them if you have any questions. Also they will ask if you have any allergies. I've had the pleasure to get served by Sara which is an exceptional waitress 😊 Thank you for your kindness 💕 Also their English skills are very good so you definitely can get helpful answers. I've had a Lipton lemongrass honey tea which comes in a traditional teapot together with bean cake, which is very delicious. You should definitely try it. Also the chicken with cashew nuts and rice was very tasty. Where to sit? When I was there I sat in the room upstairs which was a bit more "louder". Downstairs it was a quieter atmosphere. Me personally preferred the atmosphere upstairs but it may depend just on the other costumers who are currently there. Thank you for this...
