If you ever find yourself in Hanoi, I'd like to recommend a wonderful restaurant: KOTO.
The concept of KOTO began on the streets of Hanoi in 1996 when an Australian Vietnamese man, Mr Jimmy Pham, asked a group of street kids what they wanted out of life. They simply replied, "we need skills so we can find stable jobs" and so the concept of KOTO was born, providing training and education to kids and youth with disadvantaged backgrounds. After their education many of the young staff are invited to work in top hotels and restaurants in Hanoi and the program so far has a 100% placement rate of its students.
I had lunch in KOTO today and can highly recommend it - both the food and the atmosphere is wonderful, and you are supporting a very good cause by having your meal here.
