Hanoi Corner is a small and welcoming Vietnamese restaurant focuses entirely on northern Vietnamese specialties. For anyone curious about what makes northern Vietnamese cuisine distinct, this is the place to find out. Think family canteen: simple, warm, unpretentious. The menu is short by design, which usually signals that the kitchen knows what it's doing. No fusion twists, no Instagram-friendly plating — just honest food cooked with care.

What to order

The pho is the centerpiece. Both beef and chicken versions are available, and the broth is the real thing — slow-cooked, layered, properly aromatic.
The dish I keep coming back to is the bánh cuốn: thin, steamed rice paper rolls filled with minced pork and black mushrooms, served with a lightly sweetened dipping sauce.

Practical info

Prices are very reasonable, on par with other local spots in the city. Best visited for weekday lunch.

In my opinion, Hanoi Corner is one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in Phnom Penh with Roka Vietnamese Noodle Bar. These two restaurants make a good pair for anyone wanting to explore Vietnamese food in Phnom Penh.
