Where do you eat seafood in Hanoi? 9 places, from Old Quarter street tables to grand villas

海から離れたハノイで海鮮を食べるなら、鮮度の印象だけで店を選ぶより、路上席でビアホイと楽しむのか、洋館やホテルで落ち着いて食べるのか、巻貝を1皿ずつ試すのかを決める方が失敗しにくくなります。9店は雰囲気も予算もかなり違います。

この記事では、AutoReserveに予約ページがある海鮮店9店を、旧市街、ホアンキエム湖の南、西湖と西側、巻貝の店に分けました。Tanh TáchとHemispheresのミシュラン掲載は公式ガイドで確認し、その他の店は公式サイト、地元情報、地図、口コミサイトを照合しています。住所や営業時間に食い違いがある場合は、断定せず各店の欄へ注記しました（2026年9月確認）。

※本記事の予約リンクはアフィリエイトリンク（PR）です。「予約ページがある」ことと「席が確定した」ことは別です。量り売りは単価の単位、重さ、調理代を先に確認し、巻貝の店では最初から頼みすぎず数皿ずつ追加すると量を調整できます。予約確認の店名と住所も、出発前に地図と照合してください。

先に結論：雰囲気と予算で選ぶ

• 旧市街らしい気軽な夜：Seafood 68、Hải Sản Pocha。屋外席や遅い時間の利用を想定した店です。
• 記念日や落ち着いた食事：RICO、Tanh Tách、Hemispheres。料理代だけでなく飲み物、税、サービス料を含む総額で比べます。
• 家族やグループ：Nhà Hàng Tôm Hùm Seafood。大きな魚介は、重さと調理法ごとの料金を確認してから注文します。
• 巻貝を少しずつ：Ốc 29、Ốc Nóng Hà Trang、Ốc 66。辛さやソースが選べる場合は、苦手な味も先に伝えます。

What to watch for when ordering, from street-side seafood to fine dining

Hanoi's seafood restaurants range from casual street-side spots to upscale establishments, and how prices are listed and how you order both vary by restaurant.

Check how prices are listed first

At restaurants where you pick seafood from a tank, the price may be calculated per kilogram. Hotel restaurants sometimes mark prices with “++” (tax and service charge extra). Some places, like RICO in #3, apply different VAT rates to food and drinks (see the entry for #3).

At snail restaurants, order dish by dish

At snail restaurants, you order dish by dish, combining the type of shellfish with a cooking method. Ốc 29 (#7) has its menu and prices listed on its official website.

If you can't handle spice, adding “không cay” (not spicy) will get the message across.

Pairing with bia hoi

In the Old Quarter, some restaurants, like Seafood 68 (#1), let you enjoy seafood with draft beer (bia hoi) at sidewalk tables. Bia hoi prices are noted in the entry for #1.

• Bring plenty of small bills in the 10,000–50,000 dong range
• For how to drink bia hoi, seeour bia hoi guidefor the details.

What to check before paying the bill

Checking the following points on your bill in advance will help you avoid surprises when paying.

• Whether the weight and unit price are listed for seafood sold by weight
• Whether the bill includes dishes or drinks you didn't order
• Whether wet towels or peanuts come with a charge
• Whether service charge or VAT is added separately
• Whether cards are accepted. Plan to pay in cash at casual snail restaurants

Which restaurant is best for anniversaries or family visits?

Sorting by atmosphere and whether private rooms are available, here's how to choose.

How booking through AutoReserve works

AutoReserve is a service that lets you search for and book restaurants around the world in Japanese. Each restaurant's page shows whether it can be booked instantly or whether it's a "booking on request" restaurant, where AutoReserve contacts the restaurant on your behalf to secure a table.

The difference between an instant booking and a booking on request

With a booking on request, it takes time to hear back from the restaurant, and the reservation isn't confirmed until you do.

4 steps from booking to your visit

1. Open the restaurant on AutoReserve and request a booking with your date, time, and party size
2. For a booking on request, AutoReserve contacts the restaurant to check availability (not yet confirmed at this point)
3. You'll receive a "booking confirmed" notice by email or app notification
4. Show up at the restaurant on your reserved date and time

A reservation isn't always guaranteed

• A booking may not go through if the restaurant is fully booked, among other reasons
• Due to relocations or multiple branches, the address listed on AutoReserve may differ from the actual one. Please check the address in your booking confirmation
• Business hours and closing days may change, so please check the restaurant's page for the latest information
