Delicious local food for cheap . Known for sticky rice with mung bean paste and fried shallots . Can add on chicken , pork , pate , etc. Pretty busy all day and filled with locals. English menu available.

Ask for a menu and you can point to the toppings you want. Lap seong and chicken make a good combo, plus the various porks/pate with egg . Wash it down with soy milk !

Get the sticky rice ! Pick your toppings or go plain. The fried shallots & garlic on top seal the deal. Dirt cheap too (two of us are for 42,000VND). Don't let the bowl size fool you - very filling!

Sticky rice bowl . A choice of traditional, turmeric or corn rice and 15 selections of toppings like pork/beef sausage , boiled egg , chicken and pate . There is a free side dish of pickled cucumber .

It's located at the center of the Old Quarter. It's always full btw. Most of the dishes are served with sticky rice and meat on top. Then, you can choose any toppings that you want to add

May be the shop next to the original corner Xoi Yen that closed down, but IMHO still tastes as good. Love the shredded chicken , mung beans with yellow glutinous rice combo.

So delicious! We asked one of the girls from the hotel staff what she liked to eat and Xoi Yen was her first answer. So glad we asked! My favorite is sticky rice with chicken , crispy onion and corn !

50k for a full bowl of sticky rice (xoi xeo - which is green bean sticky + green bean mash ) with mixes meat. delicious. very friendly staff , good service .

Not sure if this is the bootleg version which I visited but xoi yen was really a tasty Vietnam dish. Goes a long mile on your tummy with those starchy corn base and meat toppings.

Real local. Sticky rice cooked with chicken fat, topped with mung bean pasted and toppings you like. Cheap , filling up and yummy

Great late night place for sticky rice . Get the pate on the side and some beer to wash it all down.

Great food and good value for the price too. Rice is 15k dong and you could add meat for anywhere between 15-30k. A good dinner for approx $3 or less if you was it down with a tra da.

Sticky rice restaurant where you can pick what do you want to eat with it like red Chinese sausages , chicken , French pâté . Try the yellow sticky rice with dried onions & any toppings + soy milk .

get it with all the fixin's. every bite is packed with flavour, and the crispy garlic gives it a good crunch

The only kind of Hanoi food which fits to my taste. Good combination between pate , chicken , stewed egg etc. love it

Love deep deep. Favorite is with chicken as topping. Will go back to hanoi just for this. Takeaways before the flight actually works too!

Their signature dish looks a little strange and you won't always be sure exactly what you're eating until you bite into it (is that fried tofu or meat?), but it is all really good.

Glutinous rice with variety of topping. Interesting flavors, I like the minced meat and shallots

The crispy pork belly is predictably great, but the chicken is the surprising winner of the meat choices. Sticky rice , fried shallots , dried mung bean shavings.

Good sticky rice with really fair prices . I would recommend to sit on the second or first floor!

looks are deceiving. ignore the dirty floor, unclean tables - your tastebuds will thank you for it later. mung bean sticky rice with pork belly is good!

Pork belly over sticky rice was pretty good! Great for a quick and cheap (27d) lunch .

Here they fire out the orders of sublime sticky rice with a choice of toppings such as chicken , pork , green bean and deep fried shallots

I think the restaurant next to it is a fake. The real one is on the corner and has people

Two girls should eat one dish. It is too big for one. Chicken and pate steaky rice is the best

Loved my chicken and rice meal . Just remember to bring dong! Got shafted bec I only had $.

Best place to eat sticky rice ! Add some chicken , pork etc... Voila, omnomnom! ^-^

The sticky rice with lap chang and chicken is so good.

Good taste, various choices pork , pate , egg ... 50k vnd for mix dish.

Food is good, but service is bad. Waiter refused to change the order 30 seconds after it was placed. Also, did not serve cutlery..had to go ask the waiter for it (who was watching a video on mobile)

Great value indeed. Less than $3 for meals good for two. ????

Best xôi in Hanoi :-). Plus really cheap .

The Xôi xéo , pa tê, trứng kho, thịt xá xíu was pretty damn good with a cold drink.

Value for money and delicious lunch place

Anything with beef is excellent!

Very filling but delicious rice stodge.

Delicious chicken sticky rice !

Watch out for the pineapple touts nearby who offer to take your photo for free and sell you overpriced fruit .

Rice with goodies. Recommended by Lonely Planet

Apparently this is the place for sticky rice .

The pate is great!

Quite expensive but really delicious!

Be careful! This is a ripoff of the actual Xoi Yen next door (corner of the street). They even ripped off the address of the actual restaurant . No no no no no.
