XÔI NGON QUỲNH LAN — Restaurant in Hà Nội

We arrived Hanoi by train at 5:30am and need to wait for bus to Halong Bay at 8:00am. This sticky rice vendor ( XÔI QUỲNH LAN) is a sweet spot for us. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Sticky rice is yummy and good portion too. 1 bowl of rice with 2 toppings is 35k. This place has been opened for 50 years and they open from 5:00pm to 10:00am.
