Descrizione del tour
Hai Phong is a working port two hours from Hanoi and it has a food identity that northern Vietnamese take very seriously. The city's dish is banh da cua: flat reddish-brown noodles made from a local rice paper, in a broth built on freshwater paddy crab, with crab paste, fried fish cake, beef, water spinach and a heap of herbs. It is heavier and browner than anything in Hanoi and people here will tell you it cannot be made properly anywhere else because the noodles come from one district.
We also eat nem cua be: sea crab spring rolls that Hai Phong rolls into squares rather than cylinders, so the crab meat stays in and the corners go extra crisp. And banh mi cay, the mini baguette about the size of a finger, filled with pork pate and a fierce chilli sauce, eaten three or four at a time for a few cents each - it was invented here and the rest of Vietnam has only recently caught on.
Then banh duc tau, a rare savoury rice pudding with pork, shrimp and fried shallot that is disappearing, and a coconut dessert from a shop the city queues at.
Small group, maximum 10 guests.

Politica di cancellazione
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable. Tours run rain or shine. During a typhoon warning we cancel and refund in full.
Altre note
Runs daily, with a morning departure at 08:00 and an afternoon one at 15:30. Several of the banh da cua kitchens are morning-only and the crab spring roll stalls are best in the late afternoon, so the two departures visit slightly different shops.
Typhoons: Hai Phong is the most typhoon-exposed major city in Vietnam and the season runs roughly June to September. We monitor and will cancel and refund in full rather than run in a storm.
The city opened a weekend night food street at the City Theatre square in August 2026, running Friday and Saturday evenings. It was launched as a pilot and its continuation is not yet confirmed, so we do not build it into the published route - if it is running on your date, your guide will take you through it.
Addresses: the district tier was abolished in July 2025 and Hai Phong City now also takes in the former Hai Duong province, so an official Hai Phong address may be fifty kilometres inland. Street numbers in the city are unchanged.
Getting here: Hai Phong is about two hours from Hanoi by train or road and makes a comfortable day trip.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. This route is crab and pork heavy; a vegetarian version is possible with notice but changes most stops.
About 2 km of walking on flat streets.
