“Bun cha” is a beloved dish deeply rooted in Hanoi’s culture — found everywhere from humble street stalls to upscale restaurants.

The aroma of grilled pork over charcoal and the sizzling sound of the grill create an irresistible allure that captivates both locals and visitors alike.

Dating back to the 19th century, bun cha is considered a culinary emblem of old Hanoi — a dish that showcases the city’s finesse, from meat selection and marinade to the art of charcoal grilling that locks in sweetness without losing tenderness.

Bun Cha – A Story of Taste and Culture

• Grilled pork: made from marinated pork belly or minced meat, each restaurant adding its own twist. Grilled over charcoal to perfection, the pork remains juicy, fragrant, and full of character.

• Fresh rice noodles: soft, silky noodles paired with aromatic herbs such as lettuce, perilla, and mint.

• Dipping sauce: the soul of the dish — a symphony of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy notes that awaken the senses.

• Pickled vegetables: thinly sliced papaya and carrot to balance the richness.

The dish is a perfect harmony — the essence of Vietnamese cuisine — between hot and cool, rich and light, grilled and fresh.

Even former U.S. President Barack Obama was captivated by bun cha during his visit to Hanoi, a testament to the dish’s global appeal.
