Soho Steak 73 Phố Huế — Restaurant in Hà Nội

Nothing flashy, but honestly a great spot for a casual meal.

Food: 4/5 (The updated menu from July is a nice surprise – not just beefsteak anymore! They’ve added Asian fusion options like Korean fried chicken and rose tteokbokki, which were actually really good. The steak is decent for the price, especially during promotions.)

Atmosphere: 4.5/5 (Sweet and cozy vibe. Perfect for a quiet romantic date or just a chill family meal. There’s even a kids’ play zone, which makes it super convenient for families.)

Decor: 4.5/5 (Warm, intimate, and Instagram-friendly without feeling over the top.)

Price: 4/5 (Very fair. The lunch set is a steal – only about $2–3! Regular prices are okay, but their weekly sale day makes it even better.)

Service: 4/5 (Staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Nothing to complain about.)

Plus, the location is right in the center of Hanoi with parking spaces so...

I came solo without reservation. I was seated on the first floor, by the reception. Everybody coming in and out of the restaurant passed by my table. I don't know if it's about the restaurant being full and I can't be accommodated on the second floor or because I'm alone or maybe even because I'm Asian. I should have walked away after being seated and am banging my head for not doing so. I was craving for steak and from my Google search, saw that theirs is reasonably priced so wanted to try.

I had the smoked salad with orange dressing and 200g medium rib eye steak with mushroom gravy. The salad was okay. The steak was a disappointment. It is very apparent in the photos that the meat was overcooked. I asked for medium, not medium-well to well done. The gravy had a very faint taste of mushroom. It tasted mostly like cream.

Nothing about this restaurant is...

Nothing really impressive.

Food: 3/5 (The steak is acceptable at the discounted price, but at the regular price, it's not really worth it.) Atmosphere: 4/5 (The restaurant is quite small on the first floor, with a play area for children) Decor: 4.5/5 (Cozy and beautiful) Price: 3.5/5 (Acceptable price when on sale, and since they only have a sale one day a week, I think 3.5 is a reasonable score) Service: 4/5 (Fairly enthusiastic. No bad impressions.)
