Fried chicken is a modern dish, not a traditional food in Hanoi. However, with the interference of culinary cultures, you will find many fast food restaurants specializing in serving fried chicken present in many places throughout the capital of Vietnam.
It is not difficult to see sidewalk vending carts on many small streets or small businesses selling delicious, cheap fried chicken.
However, because of food safety issues, we recommend you choose a more reputable store, such as KFC or Lotteria – that is present in many supermarkets in Hanoi or at crowded tourist places, to enjoy this dish.
Here are some popular fried chicken addresses you can choose from:
1. KFC Fried Chicken in Hoan Kiem district
KFC fried chicken is widely available in Hanoi. Most KFC fried chicken stores in Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi’s Old Quarter, are open from 10 AM to 10 PM to serve lunch and dinner for diners.
However, the KFC store at 51 Luong Van Can opens an hour earlier, from 9 AM. Therefore, this store can be your choice for a late breakfast with fried chicken in this city.
For KFC stores in Hoan Kiem District or most other areas in Hanoi, online orders and delivery are not convenient. However, you can make an online order simpler on third-party food delivery applications, such as Grab Food, Foodie, or Now.

3. Lotteria fried chicken in Hanoi
Like many other fast food stores, Loterria fast food shops also sell fragrant fried chicken, so many tourists and Hanoi residents often choose them when they want to enjoy this dish.
Available in the most crowded places and prominent shopping centers in Hanoi, Loterria fried chicken shops create convenience for most diners for a quick meal.
Many Lotteria fried chicken stores open early from 8 AM for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Here is a list of only popular Loterria places where you can choose fried chicken in Hanoi:

In conclusion: Fried chicken almost has a similar taste, whether at KFC or Lotteria. It attracts most teenagers and children; however, for older people in Hanoi and Vietnam in general, from 50 and over, this dish is not a good choice or suitable for their taste. It is because Hanoians have many other chicken dishes with local flavors, such as chicken marinated with traditional herbs, boiled chicken with salt and pepper, and chicken Pho – Chicken Vietnamese Noodle Soup.
