Izakaya Matsuki

The interior channels a nostalgic Japanese vibe, complete with Showa-era enka music, a counter lined with handpicked Japanese tableware, and a menu that feels like a comforting trip to Tokyo. The space is intimate yet lively, with private rooms for groups of 4–14 available by reservation. Signature dishes include the 7-skewer yakitori platter (155,000 VND), aji namero (minced horse mackerel, 85,000 VND), and chicken liver sashimi (109,000 VND). For those craving comfort food, the thick-cut tonkatsu set (198,000 VND) made with premium pork and Niigata Koshihikari rice is a standout. The drink list features Japanese sake, shochu, and whisky, making it a great spot for a relaxed night out. Located at 26 Linh Lang, Cống Vị, Ba Đình, Hà Nội, Izakaya Matsuki brings the warmth and authenticity of a traditional Japanese izakaya to the heart of Hanoi. Originally launched in Ho Chi Minh City as a yakitori spot, it has since evolved into a full-fledged izakaya with a loyal following among both locals and Japanese expats. Open daily from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, Izakaya Matsuki is perfect for after-work gatherings, casual dinners, or anyone craving a taste of Japan in Hanoi.
