WannaWaffle Hanoi

Wanna Waffle Hanoi Menu

WannaWaffle – it actually is one word – is a restaurant located near tourist activities such as the Water Puppet Theater and Hoan Kiem Lake. While employees occasionally stand outside to encourage you to eat there, you may still miss the place – or if you are like us, you may avoid it because of this factor.

Getting Into WannaWaffle

The main reason you may miss the restaurant is: to reach it, you must first go inside a convenience store, go in a little ways, and then go upstairs. Once upstairs, you have the choice of two different dining rooms. Within at least one of the dining rooms there are both inside and outside seating options – outside being the balcony / porch.

More Than Just Waffles at WannaWaffle

Now Wanna Waffle does not just have waffles. Our initial motivation to go there came from a sign outside which showed sandwiches, including a vegetarian sandwich for a fairly decent price at VND36,000 – VND45,000 (~$2 or less.) I was in the mood for a sandwich and Kyle wanted a regular meal as well so we each ordered one. I, of course, ordered the Grilled Veg, and Kyle got the Pork Skewer sandwich.

We both rated our sandwiches as quite good in taste, quality, and value. On this first visit we also ordered a dessert: a single cookie. The cookie was freshly made and delicious as well. They also brought us water which was nice.

So Nice, We Tried It Twice

We visited on second occasion as well. This time Kyle ordered the Egg-mayonnaise sandwich (he liked it) and I tried to get the veg sandwich again. They told me they were out which was okay because it meant I could get a waffle! The waffles are a little more expensive than the sandwiches (as in $3 instead of $2) so I needed an excuse (they actually did vary in price depending on which waffle you chose and can go higher, though.) I chose one of the more basic waffles. If we lived in Hanoi I think I would like to try more of them, though.

Look At That Waffle

The waffle I ordered was a great waffle! It was not large, but was a little more filling than it looked. It was one of the best I’ve tasted. It seemed like a very carefully crafted waffle. The outside had a nice crisp – but not burned at all – but the texture inside was perfect, soft but almost like a custard but not liquid. The ice cream and sauces were also very good. It was fun to eat with the provided utensils.

In terms of other items on the menu there are plenty of drinks including smoothies, milkshakes, coffee, tea, juice, and more. In addition to the different types of waffles, you can also create your own waffle. There are various sundaes, parfaits, and also a couple other interesting regular dishes.

The decor is nice as well.

The employees were also really friendly. They even gave us a list of other restaurants they recommend.
