Hanoi 3 Seasons

What is Hanoi 3 Seasons? Situated along Queen Street East in Leslieville, Hanoi 3 Seasons is a dependable neighborhood destination dedicated to northern Vietnamese regional cooking. Inside, warm wood accents and green walls frame a relaxed, unfussy dining room. In the warmer months, the intimate bamboo-lined back patio provides one of the east end's most tranquil open-air dining spaces.

Hanoi 3 Seasons Menu & What to Order The kitchen stands apart from standard soup parlours by spotlighting northern staples, led by the signature Chả Cá—flaky grouper cooked with turmeric and dill, paired with fermented shrimp paste over rice vermicelli. Kick things off with hến (spicy sautéed baby clams scooped up with crispy rice crackers) or crispy deep-fried chả giò before tackling a bowl of house phở đặc biệt or spicy bún bò huế. Vegetarians are well looked after with options like the Buddhist's Treat stir-fry and vegetable phở chay, best paired with an iced drip cà phê sữa đá or an imported Vietnamese lager.

Know Before You Go Seating is handled mostly on a walk-in basis, and prime dinner hours on Friday and Saturday see steady turnover with occasional waits for the patio. Transit riders can take the 501 Queen streetcar directly to the door, though street parking on Queen East fills quickly during evenings. Note that the Leslieville kitchen is closed on Mondays and opens at noon Tuesday through Sunday.
