Hanoi's Second Night-time Food Zone To Open
The second night-time food zone in Hanoi was successfully inaugurated in the Ba Dinh District in 2025. This initiative is part of a broader effort to stimulate tourism recovery and enhance the city's night-time economy.
The new food zone on Ba Dinh Street begins at Ngu Xa Street, renowned for its casual eateries and restaurants specializing in "pho" rolls, and extends to several nearby streets in Truc Bach Ward. These areas are closed off to vehicles from 7 pm until midnight every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, encouraging vibrant night-time activities centered around food.

The food zone is expected to operate fully, banning vehicles from 7 pm to 5 am daily in the near future.
The Truc Bach Lake Area has traditionally been a vibrant nightlife hub for Hanoians, featuring numerous cafes and casual dining venues housed in charming colonial-style buildings and tucked away down small alleys. It is particularly popular among younger crowds who come to savor "pho" rolls and various noodle dishes.
The first food zone in Hanoi, established in 2002, is located in the Tong Duy Tan - Cam Chi Area in Hoan Kiem District.
