According to Goc Da’s owner Nguyen My Loc, her mother Nguyen Thi Thuan opened the restaurant in 1983. Her family has improved the filling to make the dish much more delicious. Therefore, their cakes are favored by a lot of diners.

As Loc has said, the best quality ingredients make the finest food. With excellent wheat flour and the family’s secret recipe, the perfect crust makes her pillow cakes different from other restaurants’. The most delicious filling comes from fresh meat. Vegetables, onions, mince, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms and glass noodles are selected carefully.


The restaurant is located on Ly Quoc Su street, Hanoi.
