Ray Quán — Restaurant in Hà Nội

Located directly on the train tracks, Ray Quan is a quirky spot in the heart of Vietnam that offers a truly unique dining experience. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's a must-visit for those seeking an unconventional adventure in dining. Ray Quan serves up an array of mouthwatering Vietnamese dishes prepared to order, along with a special homemade rice wine that's sure to delight your taste buds. Ray Quan tantalizes with a array of fusion rice wine, meticulously crafted to order, and boasts a secret weapon – their homemade rice wine, an experience so divine it's practically mandatory to indulge in their rice wine taster flight. Brace yourself; it's a wild ride, but the flavors are nothing short of extraordinary. My favorite discoveries are : Apricot, Passion and green pepper.

What sets Ray Quan apart from your typical restaurant is its location – right on the train tracks. The atmosphere is buzzing with excitement as you dine inches away from passing trains. The thrill of feeling the vibrations as a train passes by adds a unique charm to the dining experience. It's a must-try for those looking to explore local flavors. The owner and his partner are friendly and more than willing to help you navigate the menu if you're unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine.

Overall, Rai Quan is a hidden gem in the heart of Vietnam that offers an unforgettable drinking and dining experience. Just remember to check the train schedule to time your visit for an extra thrill. Must go when you...

Quirky restaurant along the railway track line.

When we first arrived I had to double check the menu as the place was nothing like what we were expecting. Zero atmosphere. All the staff sitting outside on their phones; we barely got a greeting. From then on, every time we asked them for something we were made to feel like we were disturbing or annoying the waiters. I get that service with a smile isn't the norm in some places, but this was just plain rude.

The food was average at best. We had the Ray chicken special (tasted like something from a Chinese takeaway), smoked goose (nice but didn't taste very Vietnamese) and the banana flower salad (weird and pretty unpleasant). Also quite expensive for what you get, we paid about $20 for our meal - not a lot but considering you can have a delicious dish of noodles for a dollar or less, it certainly wasn't worth it.

Oh, and there weren't any trains running the whole time we were there. So even that selling point was a fail. Definitely...

TL;DR If you wanna get twated on rice wine, find a street restaurant near the flower market on Au Co, the food will be about the same, the rice wine cheaper and tastier and it'll probably cost you 1/5 of what this place charges

Can't say this great value.

Food, specifically the smoked Asian-goose breast, is actually really exceptional! In fact most of the food here is pretty good - just expensive.

The rice wines I think are mainly a bit of gimmick with the infusions, they're also not good value for money. Having tried a wider range of rice wine in Vietnam, I know you can get better tasting products for cheaper elsewhere, if you're willing to forgo the shock value of porcupine stomach or Bear paw infusions that is. These really don't add anything to the rice wine in my opinion, traditionally these are essentially medicines and are not made for drinking, at least in the...
