The East Tonkin is built upon a philosophy of balance. Honoring Northern Vietnamese flavors, the restaurant becomes a maestro, composing mesmerizing harmonies where subtlety meets richness and flavors blend seamlessly: salty, sweet, sour, and spicy. This harmony stems from seasonal local ingredients that preserve their freshness and elevate the distinct character of the North. A light, delicate broth accompanies a scrumptious main dish; a plate of simple stir-fried vegetables pairs with meticulously prepared seafood; and a locally brewed craft beer completes the meal. All these elements intertwine into a symphony of flavors under the hands of passionate chefs, the same talented team behind The East, a Michelin-recommended gastronomic delight for three consecutive years in Hanoi.
