I'm an employee, I have no much money. My busy job doesn't allow me to cook dinner myself. I often go out to have dinner in Kiti restaurant which located in Old street, not far from Hoan Kiem lake. I have lived in Vietnam for 6 months. I have tried many resraurants and consider which restaurant is suitable to me and my finance quality. After a finding time, I choosed Kiti restaurant for my dinners. Kiti's atmosphere is quite luxury, romantic and Asian characterization.
At the first time, I ussually have dinner with familiar western foods but now, I tried Vietnamese food and I like Vietnamese traditional foods so much, specially, I can use chopsticks influently.
Coming to Kiti Restaurant, I don't only have cheap meal but also I know so many exciting things of Vietnamese food culture.
I like best that clustered cultural custom is in rolls, Kiti's waiters explained me that. I like to talk to them who are students of Hanoi National University, they have further knowledge.

Almost I like it and its dishes but I don't like and can't eat a little dishes of inter ophans. I and my tour had have a lunch there. Kiti's foods are very good and we ordered many dishes. But our guider ordered two dishes of liber and heart of pig, oh my god, we don't have a habit to eat them. The second time of coming to Kiti, we had to consider them not to take it. But some Vietnamese like them so much. It's a cultural habit and it's difference between nations.
In summary, their service is good. I choose Kiti when coming to Hanoi

It was a bad day, I wandered on the Quarter Old Street and Hoan Kiem Lake all afternoon. On the late afternoon, I wanted to find a quite place for my dinner but I changed my idea when seeing Kiti Restaurant on Hang Hom street. There was a buffet party in the restaurant, and so many people joined, they were funny to talk together. I wanted to join it because I thought I should have change my bad feeling. I came in and joined the party but I didn't talk to anyone, I only listened to their talking and I felt more funny. I called one big beer, after two beer, both drunk and saw everyone telling together. There was a waiter coming me and asked what I needed and she invited me try some dishes in the buffet party. At the time, I was hungry and I wanted to try some dishes although I didn't have mood to eat.
The girl catched talk to me, she both asked how I felt the dishes and told me about mean of dishes. I felt more funny and felt dishes delicious. Then I ate quite much. After the buffet party in Kiti, I came back home with good mood.
It was surprised that I had only to pay 200,000 VND for my pax. It was so cheap with so many dishes.
Wandering on The Old Quarter Street and enjoining the party in Kiti Restaurant helped me come back. I felt well and smiled with everybody, everything was easier to me. So more and more I love Hanoi and The Old Quarter Street where I am living near.
