“Because I came on a Saturday, the restaurant was very crowded, so I had to wait a bit for water, but I can understand. Maybe because it was crowded, everyone looked a bit tired, but in return, the staff were very enthusiastic. I will definitely come back. Come back but on weekdays for more comfort😆😆😆

Review
“For those who love to visit and travel to nearby places on weekends, Bat Trang pottery village is an extremely interesting destination for you. Only less than 15km from the center of Hanoi, Bat Trang will take us to ceramic paradise, especially visitors can directly watch artisans make ceramic products with many types of flexibility and sophistication. Or you can manually mold the products to your liking.
In addition, when traveling to the pottery village, you will see ancient architecture, beautiful sculptures, experience folk games, sit on rustic buffalo carts to go to places. If you love traditional festivals, go to Bat Trang Communal House, where the Tutelary God is worshiped and is also a venue for festivals all year round.”
“Authentic Batrang is a lovely, small pottery shop with some beautiful pieces at good prices. Highly recommend stopping by this little shop to take home a little piece of Hanoi.”
“I happened to stop by this store and happened to chat with the Sony boss about Bat Trang and the rich clay in the area where he came from. Even if you don’t buy anything, stop by because this is a small museum and a feast for the eyes! I came away with an extremely safe souvenir that will be perfect for my new home.”
