"Good Morning Hanoi" where You can Enjoy a Wide Variety of Pho and Asian Street Food
Table of Contents
"Good Morning Hanoi" opened in November 2020 on the 12th floor of JR Gate Tower at Nagoya Station. In addition to the basic pho (rice noodles), this is a restaurant where you can enjoy a new style of Asian noodles that you can customize to your liking through a collaboration of 3 types of noodles and flavors from around the world.
You may not be familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, but this time I received the restaurant's recommended dishes! Let's get started.
First Store in Tokai Area!
An Illustration of a Chicken is a Landmark
"Good Morning Hanoi", which has its main store in Sangenjaya, Setagaya, Tokyo. The Tokai area will be the first store to open.
At first glance, the open windows with blue frames look like a cafe. What catches your eye is the cute chicken drawn on the refreshing white wall slurping noodles. I can't help but feel excited.
The motif of the bird illustration is a rooster, which seems to be related to the restaurant's name, Good Morning. Also, I am convinced that the main meat of the dish is chicken.
There are more than 20 types of noodle dishes, including Asian noodles that use pho (rice noodles), a staple of Vietnamese cuisine! In addition, there are plenty of rice dishes and side menus. It was opened with the idea of "wanting more women to enjoy themselves more casually," and the menu is not only delicious, but also colorful and stylish.
At the entrance of such a shop, you can't help but take your eyes off the dishes lined up in the showcase. And what surprised me was the size of the plate! All of them are big sizes with a diameter of 20 cm or more.
A bird object that is casually placed. The blank expression is also very cute!
Infection control measures before entering the store is also perfect.
Interior that Feels like a Foreign Country
Colorful lanterns hanging from the ceiling catch your eye as soon as you enter the entrance.
It's a space with an Asian taste, but if you go inside, you'll find a refreshing cafe-like atmosphere.
The walls and chandeliers are also antique style, and the atmosphere is very well balanced with the wooden desk.
Starting with the bird objects on the wall, the casually decorated interior is also relaxing!
Recommended Menu
Recommended dish No.1 ! Addictive deliciousness "Tom yum pho with rich lobster stock"
Among the pho, the restaurant's most recommended signboard menu is "Tom yum pho with rich lobster broth". The contrast between the large white plate and the shrimp-colored soup will whet your appetite.
When you first take a sip of the soup, the perfect balance of sourness and coconut milk sweetness fills your mouth. Next, the lobster stock and lemongrass and coriander scents are mixed, giving it an Asian taste at once.
The pho goes down smoothly, and the crunchiness of the bean sprouts and onions is a nice accent!
The shrimp is also crispy and filling. For those who don't like spicy food, it's not that spicy, but you can adjust it to your liking as it comes with chili peppers and limes.
Another feature of the shop is that you can customize the soup and noodles to your liking.
You can choose from nearly 20 types of bases, such as soy milk and coconut cream bases, tomato and tom yum kung bases, and 4 types of noodles.
By the way, there are 4 types of noodles
・Pho (rice noodles)
・Chinese noodles (Chinese noodles with egg)
・Sen yai (extremely thick flat rice noodles)
・Vermicelli (mung bean vermicelli)
as listed above.
You can also choose the amount of noodles according to your taste, such as "Small size 100g", "Normal size 120g", "Large size 180g (free)" and "Extra size 240g" +150 yen.
People who are not good at coriander and spicy are also listed in the menu table, so it will be helpful. I'm lost again and can't decide! It's okay to say. The recommended noodles for that dish are listed on the menu, so you can definitely choose it!
Healthy and popular salad rice for girls "Com An Fu"
Rice dishes are also popular. Among them, the salad rice "Com An Fu" is recommended because it looks colorful and healthy! .
Around the jasmine rice in the center, original seasoned minced meat, coriander, pickled radish and carrot, Vietnamese herbs and eggs are arranged in a colorful way.
The refreshing scent of jasmine rice and the combination of various ingredients will change the taste with each bite. You can eat it with your favorite ingredients, or you can mix it all up and eat it all at once.
You can enjoy it more by pouring the original sauce of nam pla, anchovies, and lemon on it.
At lunchtime, as a set menu, you can add a set of selectable drinks, fresh spring rolls, and fried spring rolls as an option menu. In addition to soft drinks, you can also choose mango or pineapple lassi.
Vietnamese dessert "Che"
We also had desserts! There are 5 types of Vietnamese royal dessert "Che": strawberry, kiwi, mixed fruit, berry and mango. Che is like shaved ice in Japan.
With a coconut milk base containing nata de coco, tapioca, mango and strawberry fruits, you can enjoy it as if you were drinking and eating it. There is also a HOT chai for the cold season.
Other dishes on the menu include pad thai (fried noodles) and bun cha (noodles originating in Hanoi).
It is also attractive that there are many kinds anyway. I want to repeat as many times as I want... It was that kind of shop.
Now that you can't travel abroad, it's nice to be able to casually enjoy the atmosphere and taste of foreign countries. I love Asian food! If you are interested, please come and visit us.
