A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video! After having a great Vietnamese meal at our local restaurant (Linh Cafe) in Vancouver, I was inspired to try some more authentic dishes. And what better way to find great authentic dishes and at its origin, in Vietnam! Let's make a trip to Vietnam, with our first stop in Hanoi to experience the rich culture, the friendly people, and of course the great food!
And as luck would have it, I found a great Vietnamese buffet serving up a little bit of Vietnamese dishes, a little bit of French dishes, and a lot of seafood. Arriving a few days a head of my friend, I got a chance to meet some great people in the city. From Camellia who's part of a volunteer organization called @HanoikidsVoluntaryEnglishClub that offers guided culture and culinary tours in Hanoi, to Laurence who's a fellow traveller from Singapore, it was a great opportunity to see new faces and make new friends.
I even managed (although it wasn't difficult) to convince Laurence to join me for dinner! And did we have a feast! From the grilled shellfish and crustaceans that include oysters, mantis shrimp and all types of clams imaginable, to the tradition Vietnamese comfort foods, it was an experience in variety and quality.. Oh, did I mention the French and Japanese dishes as well? The French style cravery with roast of beef and lamb and the Japanese station offer sushi and sashimi of tuna, salmon and something called cá trích which I'm still trying to figure out what it is... all I know, is that it's good!
Oh, and the desserts...ah, the desserts! There were plenty as long as you have the room for it, or willing to make room. A fantastic experience all around with good food and new friends. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!

Thanks, Tim, for taking us along...I made sure to eat lunch before watching, but you still made me hungry for seafood. I like snails too! I'm too old to run up those stairs (81), so I am happy to enjoy the food vicariously. Love you, Tim! 🤗❤️
Vietnam is a beautiful country. Good food and amazing people ❤
Thank you Tim, enjoyable to watch as always. Consider this a PSA if anyone sees mantis shrimp in a wet market and you buy them live, be very careful. Pound for pound they are one of the scariest things in the ocean. They lie in wait and will lash out at prey so quickly it emits a cracking sound underwater and will easily chop a fish in half in the blink of an eye. I have seen one snap a pencil in an aquarium! Thought they would taste better since they eat fish. Sorry not trying to turn your channel into a nature documentary.😁
The cameo of your mom ❤❤ so nice to see her again....AND 17 $ for all that food 😂😂 doesn't make the flight to Hanoi seem so long 😅
Lawrence is so pleasant and funny! "Clean your mouth!" The buffet looked great ^_^ Thank you for showing it to us Tim
I know 😄. He's a fun character and really grateful to meet great people on the travels 🙂
we want to see tim with the ladies
Welcome to my country, Tim! So glad you've enjoyed your time here. Northern Vietnam is truly a gem. Hope you have a chance to explore Sapa, Ha long Bay and Ha Giang as well. Anyway, this buffet looks pretty EPIC!!! Would love to try it out. ~Leo (I ran into you at a mall in Vancouver last year) :) Congrats on all the continuous growth of your channel.
The one's you said were langoustines are actually sea mantis. Also you should visit San Sebastian Spain one day and try the different Pintxos. I was there last year and they have one of the best foods I've ever tasted. Right up there with Japanese and French cuisine.
Tim never fails to surprise the viewers with a new awesome adventure! That looks like a Grand feast place. Vietnamese cuisine is awesome! The fresh water prawn and mantis shrimp and all the Aqua/ Seafood looks very desirable. From what I gather food in Vietnam for tourists is very inexpensive and that is a Top of the Line place as far as quality and cost go's in Vietnam! If I am ever in Vietnam, I will have to check that wonderful place out! In my 2nd language, Estonian Vesi means Water. That is very honorable that you show your mom! I'd like to see taller sides made even a Snake Boot version from Vessi! Wishing you safe fun travels, adventures, and journeys!
Tim I was just here!! Excellent choice and thanks for recommending it. Best value buffet I have enjoyed so far! This was my second attempt because on weekends you need a reservation. They musta gotten busy since your video dropped!
Glad you got to give it a try! It is quite a unique setup and love the live stations as well 😋
Thank you tim for sharing 17 dollars seems like a great deal for the amount of food and it all looks amazing. Thanks for sharing be safe please
Wow, this buffet place looks so clean and delicious! Thank you Tim for this video. I hope to visit there in Vietnam one day.
They're running you over like still on motorbikes 😂 great venue
And you left without tire tracks
Really enjoyed the experience 🎉 🙏
"A cheesy crab" 🤣🌻
I blame you for this 3am freezer pizza 🍕 I'm sat in bed suddenly eating whilst jealously watching your new video AGAIN 😂😂 it's all good. Keep firing em at me 😊 much love from the UK 🇬🇧 once again xxx
Great to hear from you and 3am pizza is my favorite as well😋😃
I ❤ seafood! It all looks soooo delicious - the seafood stations at a buffet will be my first round for sure- keep up the great work and appetite for buffet videos!
Hi Tim I hope you are well. It’s great to see you’ve made time to visit and relax in Vietnam. That buffet is cheap and looks quite good. The seafood looks great, but I love the desserts. Looking forward to more videos in Vietnam if possible.
Thank you so much and so grateful to get to visit this amazing city.. great people and food is pretty good too 😋
That has to be the best looking buffet restaurant for only 17 dollars. And the food looks great also. When you said hey there, I almost fell out, lol..😅😅
Enjoyed this one, love the Vietnamese cuisine, it's always a joy to watch you Tim *
Hi Tim! I’ve subscribed to your vlogs a long time. You’re so considerate and kind everywhere you go. Welcome to Vietnam Tim.❤❤❤❤
Tim you have out done yourself, This is so exciting to me, To see you in so many different places with so many wonderful foods...♥
Tim everything looks so good. Thanks for taking us along.
Tim, I'm jealous that you're in Vietnam and in my home town Hanoi. Hope you get to eat lots of yummy Vietnamese dishes.
Amazing Buffet Tim !!! Incredible Price ! Wow alot of seafood ! Amazing grilled station ! Delicious desserts ! Alot of variety ! Yummy ! Thank you for sharing Tim !
Tim, fabulous buffet & reasonable too. Love watching the seafood buffets u take us to. Another thumbs up & appreciation to u is how u manage to acknowledge all ur viewers & subscribers too. Like we all say ur courtesy to the ground staff is 👍
Great video Tim 😄Wow, that sounds like an incredible deal for all that delicious seafood at just $17 ! The freshwater prawn and mantis shrimp alone would be worth that price for me. I thought I was getting a deal at Kim Son Buffet 😅 I can't wait to take my family here one day and btw your Vessi shoes have been to so many places for the past year 😁 that sashimi piece is Japan herring pressed with eggs and you could have FaceTime me 😆
Thank you David! That herring was nice! Really enjoying the places here in Hanoi and meeting lots of great people. Just doing some more exploring...a friend was supposed to join on this trip, but missed the flight because the visa didn't come in time... it's the Vietnam independence day...
Enjoy most your videos esp the buffets. But this vid misses the mark on the essence of Vietnam. Like flying to Italy, then going to eat at Olive Garden. Maybe do collab w Dustin Cheverier, think he’s currently in Hanoi too w his parents visiting from the States.
I love to see you both commenting on each others videos. The whole time you were eating the pho and oysters I was thinking you were probably saying to yourself "David Sriracha eat your heart out" 😂😂😂 I love when you 2 collab together and hope we can get more collaborations soon! Love to you both! ❤
@@TimLeeLetsGo I bet 😄 I don't know when I'm going to get a chance to visit Vietnam again so I'm living vicariously through your videos 😄
@@jammiegirl74 thank you for your kind comment Jammie 😄 hopefully one day in the near future 🤞
I always enjoy seeing your videos! You are amazing and kind to others and that keeps me coming back to see your videos and posts. The plus is also the food items. And again your kindness to others around you. Thank you for sharing your story and videos… 😊
Just really grateful that everyone there were such good sports🙂
I love seafood. Good food and thank you for sharing. Almost at 100K!
Sup Tim! love the ventures! food and culture! THANK YOU!
I stumbled upon your channel and I already loved the very first video I am watching. Thank you for sharing and you make great videos. I like the narrative a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much Daniel 🙂
Thank you Tim for all you fantastic travel vlog..👍👍👍
Oh... I would love 💘 this one!!
My 2nd Favorite Food!!
What an incredible price, for the quality of that food! Thank you so much for taking us along to Vietnam. Blessings and safe travel always excited to see your blogs.
Great video Tim..that cheesy crab looked incredible!!! Thanks for sharing
A great first day in Vietnam 🙂
Wow what a deal!! The food looked amazing.
Awesome! I was always wondering if you could do a travel video with your flight experience and hotel breakfast buffets! Really enjoy your videos 😁
The folks at the hotel were amazing. Lots of good food and lots of great help and service. It's not a fancy hotel, but clean and great people
I love all your videos, Tim!
Thank you so much 🙏
Great video, Thanks showing us your food adventure! You sure know how to enjoy food :)
Really great places to eat here and really great people as well 🙂
I'll definitely check this buffet out next time in Hanoi. The vietnamese people are so nice and friendly.
This was very enjoyable indeed and so much interaction. A lot of fun and afterwards, if you still have room, go for an egg coffee 😋
Very nice place. I do feel like I’m at the playhouse at MC D’s lol. I can’t handle that . Especially at at high end place. You’re so mellow I don’t think anything can irritate you. Thank you for another awesome food journey. ✨✌️💜😋
Nice going Tim as usual 👏
I think those are mantis shrimp which are apparently delicious. I have never had them but now I have to go the Vietnam and visit this buffet. Looks so yummy!😊
Mantis shrimp turn me off
Keep Rocking as always
Thanks Tim i am obsessed with Vietnamese and Thia food. I hope you going to make some street food videos. Enjoy your time eating yummy food ❤❤
Vietnamese food is definitely the favorite and even more so now after visiting so many places. Thank you so much again 😄
Great video
It is a adventure crossing the st on foot in Vietnam most st on HMC don't have xing crossing and light .
The yellow sashimi is pressed herring roe!!! Amaaaazing buffet 😍 everything looks sooo fresh and delicious!!! All that shellfish 😍 cheers🍷
Herring....that was it!😋
tim i love this video ,i was shocked to see vietnam look so beautiful ,tim the food looked great tim you are so polite and very respectful ,i am italian but i live ohio usa i wish one day i can learn how to use chop stcks
Love your videos but I'm amazed at how much you can eat your appetite is so good and how you remain so small lucky you the food always looks great and I'm so impress on how you enjoy the meals and how your reaction seems to be so genuine i like the way you say ummm when you taste the flavor of each item
Really enjoying the food here and really great people as well. I'm certainly getting a bit rounder for sure 😃
I have never gone to Vietnam in my life and it’s one of my bucket lists.
Thanks for sharing
Yummers!
i love your videos. At least u try everything for a first time.
When it comes to buffets, I prioritize quality over quantity. As I age, my appetite has decreased to only a third of what most teenagers can eat. A buffet in Vietnam that offers good quality vegetables and seafood sounds appealing and worth trying. I'm impressed by the waterproof shoes you shared. Despite their price, I plan to order a pair later. Thank you for sharing the information. Also, I enjoyed watching the video; it was great!
Thank you so much for reaching out Jason. The meals here are quite incredible and this was actually one of the more pricier places. All the meals I had here were excellent 😋
Looks delicious
Great video! My favorite country in the world
Mahalo Tim, everything sure looks yummy. I LOVE rice noodles.
Great Video, thank you, Tim. Hopefully, you enjoy Hanoi?
Thank you Mr. Lee for another video food experience! 😃👀
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
Great Review as always! I need to travel with you! I am starving now........
Really enjoy your entire Hanoi buffet food series. If you don't mind. Where did you stay or have any hotel recommendations . Thank you.
Wow cool enjoy
I love Vessi. I got a pair after I watched your video. Thank you.
Thank you so much.. it is really nice to have a pair of sneakers that you can stomp in the puddles with 😉
Hi Tim. So glad to see you visiting my mom’s native country. What month did you go to Vietnam? I did visit Vietnam in December of 2017, but we went with Gate 1 Company. We went to 5 different locations starting in the south (Ho Chi Minh City) and ended in the north ( Hanoi). Wow, delicious food for only $17…amazing.
Hi Loanne, Vietnam is such a beautiful country and just have explored Hanoi so far and it is fantastic. How was the Ho Chi Minh visit for you? I heard one needs to be a bit more careful there than in Hanoi 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo I don’t care much for Ho Chi Minh because it was really dirty. Yes, you need to be careful there and every places you go in Vietnam. It’s sad to say, but it’s true. We love the country side of Hue, people there are nice, clean and the food is much better there than Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. I hope you have time to visit Hue. We also visited Ha Long Bay, very beautiful, expensive and it’s for rich people.😀
WONDERFUL VIDEO THANKS
Thank you so much, really enjoying the time here in Vietnam 🙂
The sushi in question is herring roe. It’s sometimes serve with the fish, or the roe by itself with a kelp lining.
Great value for $17. Those stairs give you a work out. I wonder how many times someone has tripped and spilled all the food. Thank you for taking me to Vietnam via your video.
Thanks Tim for another Delicious and Exotic video. The price was pretty Amazing. I could live without the stairs though. Have a Safe trip back. 🍷
I know... it was so much work going up and down those stairs...
Vietnamese and French buffet you cant beat that!
Howdy Tim Lee finally reached Vietnam stay safe ❤Rocking jamming and Delicious foodies looking good and Yum, Yum I love Vietnamese food thank you invite from California 🙏🏼🌹
Greetings to you again Surya... And this time from Vietnam 😃
🙏🏼🌹
Am sure it is good i will wath this little bit later today :)
I have hope you never stop record wideos Tim Lee very nice wideos
We need a q&a, what you do for work and how you can travel so often.
“I don’t know what this is,
I’ll take two” 😄👌🏻
Force of habit 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo Hahaaa Nice bro 😄
Love the Show 😊 I Always eat Dinner 🥘 and watch you Eat at a New Location, Awesome Channel 🤙🏻
Hi Tim...that was a PiPi shrimp you thought was a langosteen...it was worth it...great video...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💕
I started to travel for foods because of you and mark Weins in 2019 and now seeing you visiting Vietnam and still eating in American buffet is heartbreaking man….
So many places to try and rest assured, I got a chance to try some of the traditional foods as well 😋
Great price for that quality of buffet, good find, Tim! Guessing the weather is hot and humid there, we'll probably melt. lol
It's actually not bad at all... A bit humid but quite pleasant as it's not too hot. You both would love it here 😀
@@TimLeeLetsGo Would love to visit there one day. Thanks for the review, Tim.
Hi Tim, great vid of this place which i intend to visit next year after watching yr vid. I think this place is a branch out of the original Sen Tay Ho Restaurant which is much bigger size buffet than this..which i recommend you to visit if you got a chance. They served more than 200 dishes there.. I've tried the food there 6years ago..pretty impressive n they got a nice garden with a little lake. Enjoy yr trip😊
Good evening Tim, the long grayish shrimp is a mantis shrimp, a much sought after seafood.
Luxury seafood buffet $17? Immediately tapped and liked❤️
Incredibly affordable meals here in Vietnam especially by western standards 🙂
That what you called langosteen is actually mantis shrimp. They have a mealy dried crab like texture and not my favorite either lol😂
They look really appetizing, but agreed. A little hard to eat and a bit mealy as well
I like vietnamese food buffet ..they very cheap yet delicious and quality
It would have been HYPE if you collabed w/ Sonny from BEFRS! But I don’t think he’s in Vietnam now. 😅
Love the befrs😃
The lead under the sashimi is shiso leaf. You're supposed to eat the sashimi with the shiso leaf, the bicolor sashimi is mackerel and mackerel egg.
i went to this buffet when i was in Hanoi back in 2019... it took me a minute to recognize it haha
cheers
Wow love these international videos.
Hey Coka, everything looked great, yummy seafood. When I saw u pick up that yellow sashimi fish I knew u wouldn't eat, what looked to me like a perilla leaf under it. If u don't eat the whole thing u probably didn't get the whole experience of all the flavors melding together. I have noticed u have an aversion towards veggies because potato is your favorite salad lol By the way your mom is adorable. Thanks for another great video. Take care and safe travels.
@girly whirly You are observant. Are you a Asian person? I am Chinese and familiar with those leaf. You said you knew he wouldn’t eat that perilla leaf. Those leaf are usually edible, but it’s not unusual Not to eat it. However, you said eating the yellow sashimi fish with the leaf is getting the whole experience of all the favors melding together. So, this is something different which I am not familiar with as a yellow sashimi fish with a perilla leaf is not a regular sashimi item. It seems like you are saying that perilla leaf has unusual good flavors. I mean usually those leaf underneath certain food items don’t have any special flavors so it’s just a decoration vegetable.
@@minlui2752 Tyvm Min Lui. Perilla leaves normally have a basil like minty flavor. I suppose it could b used just as a garnish. Idk if it was meant to b eaten in that particular instance but that is something I personally would have tried to c if it added to the experience. U could b right and if it was just for garnish and not meant to b part of the dish it wouldn't hurt anything to eat it. In fact perilla leaves have great health benefits.😁
Go Tim Go!
😃
Tim, the cheap cost of the food in Vietnam blows my mind. I though seafood buffets in Canada was value- added as it’s cheaper than NYC and Vegas but my trip to HCM city and eating the buffet took this to the next level for cost and value. Goes to tell you how much hyperinflation we have here in the US and Canada. 🙄🙄
Another wonderful adventure! I would have tried everything you did, except the snails, yuck. Love how the desserts were served in small portions so you could enjoy so many of them. Be well!
Love Vietnamese foods
Special Pho 😘
Not sure if they are langoustines. We call them mantis prawns in Asia. Very sweet if fresh, better than prawns and crabs even. But very easily mushy if only slightly unfresh. The yellow coloured sashimi is Nishin (herring with fish roe).
Thank you so much! The Mantis shrimp did become a bit mealy...the herring was quite nice though
Love. Lawrence!
Wow, that was a great buffet. When I went to buffets years back, I tended to avoid the cold seafood. Often a bit bland and overcooked for me. Would love to know what was the topping on the grilled shellfish? Looked like some scallions (green onion), maybe ginger and fried shallots. Do you remember? Your new-found-friend was cute. Thanks for posting! Love a cheery Tim Lee on a Sunday. God bless.
6 plates for round two makes you my hero, Tim!
The yellow sashimi is a fish I see alot in Hong Kong and Japan don't know name in English the buffet look good but I try to avoid the raw fish my stomach is not as strong as the local I have gotten sick in Vietnam many time try to dine in large hotel only.
The seafood looks good. You see food you eat it.
Yummy 😋
😋
Tim the Bluegrass state of Kentucky gets an annual average of 48 inches of rain.
Kind of feels like Vancouver😉
Great video again
Food looked great but it looked awful inconvenient to go all that distance from your table to the buffet section. I hope you used large trays to carry all that terrific looking food.
Kind regards to Laurence ...
When it comes to food & travel, Tim is the best🍥🍤🥠🍘🍙🍛🍠🍢🍣 🥟🍜🥠🍱🍡🍣🍙🍢🍚🍘🧆

Amazing deal for all that food! Tell Lawrence not to worry about your mouth! Haha 😊. Enjoy!
LoL. Laurence is quite the character and lots of fun 😃
That sashimi looked really interesting! I have no idea what it is and I thought I knew what all types of sashimi looked like. I was also impressed how everything was so fresh - just prepared right there on site. Always appreciate how consistently kind you are to all the workers - no matter where you are.
It was pretty amazing. The meals here are quite inexpensive and the buffet there was definitely set up very well
@@TimLeeLetsGo Glad you are enjoying yourself. It's nice how you continue to recognize the hard work of the people working there.
Hanoi is wonderful
Such an incredible clean and friendly city
