By DUHORÉA · July 2026

If there is one reason that makes the Japanese Quarter around Dao Tan so special, it is undoubtedly the food.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Lotte Center and DUHORÉA, you’ll discover a collection of Japanese restaurants that have become favorites among the city’s Japanese community. From traditional dining rooms to intimate omakase counters, each offers its own interpretation of Japan’s rich culinary heritage.

New Sake — A 25-Year Legend of Japanese Cuisine in Hanoi

  • Address: 40 Dao Tan Street

As one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Hanoi, New Sake leaves a lasting impression with its traditional ambiance, authentic Japanese-style private rooms, and a standout menu featuring grilled cod with Miso sauce, fresh Sashimi, and premium beef cuts.

Hatoyama — The Essence of Japanese Seafood

  • Address: 8 Van Phuc Street

Renowned for its seasonal seafood and impeccable service, Hatoyama is the ideal destination for those who appreciate exquisite Sashimi, traditional

Kami hotpot, and a premium Japanese dining experience in a sophisticated setting.

Izakaya Matsuki — An Authentic Japanese Pub Experience

  • Address: 26 Linh Lang Street

Tucked away in the heart of the Japanese Quarter, Matsuki brings the cozy, welcoming atmosphere of a traditional Izakaya. Charcoal-grilled Yakitori, signature side dishes, and a cold beer or Sake make it the perfect way to wind down after a day of exploring Hanoi.

Sushi Daichi — The Pinnacle of Elite Omakase Art

Featuring a pristine Hinoki wood counter and strictly limited seating, Sushi Daichi offers an intimate Omakase experience. Here, the menu is curated by the chef based on the season’s finest ingredients, with each delicate dish served the exact moment it is perfected.

And There’s So Much More to Discover

Beyond these featured names, the streets of Linh Lang, Phan Ke Binh, and Dao Tan are home to countless family-run ramen shops, sushi bars, curry houses, and cozy neighborhood eateries waiting to be explored.

Sometimes, the best way to discover a city is not by visiting its famous landmarks, but by finding a small table in a quiet neighborhood, enjoying a memorable meal, and experiencing everyday life as the locals do.

Let DUHORÉA be the starting point of that journey – where memorable experiences begin just a few steps away.
