Little Japan

Crowd

• The menu is built around a single-person meal: 23 rice sets at 50,000–105,000 VND, each including rice, miso soup and salad, plus a separate 'SET CƠM TRẺ EM' (children's rice set) at 50,000 VND. In the evening there are also the 'SET NHẬU MINI' at 100,000 VND and a 'Buffet bia' (beer buffet) at 200,000 VND for groups staying longer, but no source says which nights these apply or what conditions come with them.

Planning

• The restaurant serves two sessions and closes in between: 10:30–13:30, then 17:30–21:30, so arriving in the early afternoon you will find it shut. These hours come from the restaurant's own order-taking schedule and match exactly the copy of the Google profile on Wanderlog ('10:30AM–1:30PM, 5:30–9:30PM'). The day-off field in that profile is blank, which means the restaurant has NOT DECLARED a closing day, not that it is open 365 days; no source yet covers public holidays or Tết closures. One thing to know before ordering through an app: prices on delivery apps are 35–54% higher than in-restaurant prices.

Atmosphere

• A Japanese restaurant at No. 1, lane 280 Lạc Long Quân, not on the main street. The restaurant's own ordering system records the exact words 'Số 1, ngõ 280 Lạc Long Quân, Tây Hồ, Hà Nội', and the Plus code 3R45+2J decodes to a cell of about 14 m, which on a reverse lookup in OpenStreetMap lands exactly on 'Ngõ 280 Đường Lạc Long Quân, Trích Sài'. This is the only branch with this name and is not part of a chain. The number of seats and the interior layout are not described by any source.

Popular for

• Japanese food at an affordable price level: one person can eat their fill for about 75,000–105,000 VND, counting a rice set at 65,000–80,000 VND plus a drink at 10,000–25,000 VND. The menu price is also the price diners pay at the restaurant: checking item by item, the dine-in price and the takeaway price are equal on all 84 of 84 items. The signature dishes the restaurant itself names are gyudon beef rice, chicken karaage, chicken nanban, Japanese curry, eel rice and oden.

Dining options

• 84 menu items, grouped into categories set by the restaurant itself: SET CƠM (rice sets), MÓN ĂN (dishes), ĐẶC BIỆT (specials), MÌ RAMEN, TOPPING MÌ (noodle toppings), ODEN, ĐỒ UỐNG (drinks). The main line is gyudon beef rice at 70,000–80,000 VND, Japanese curry at 75,000–105,000 VND, chicken karaage and chicken nanban, and eel rice at 119,000 VND for half an eel / 210,000 VND for a whole eel.

The oden pot sells individual items at 10,000–20,000 VND or an Oden Mix at 89,000 VND.

Call ahead on 0398 145 372. Whether it takes table reservations, whether you can pay by card, and where to park are not stated by any source; the two flags Is_Booking=0 and Is_Visa=0 only say that the online ordering platform has not enabled those features, and say nothing about what happens in the restaurant.
