Rabbit remains a niche order in Hai Phong. Call before traveling whenever possible, ask whether rabbit is available that day and confirm whether the dish must be pre-ordered. Current menus, portion sizes and prices are not consistently published, so agree on the preparation and complete price before the kitchen starts.
Quick guide to rabbit meat restaurants in Hai Phong
- Most practical first choice: Thanh Nhàn Quán – Thỏ, because it has a public phone and a current restaurant address.
- For a rabbit-focused meat restaurant in Hải An: Hà Béo Thịt Thỏ Đồ Rừng Đồ Núi.
- For a restaurant listing both rabbit and duck: Nhà Hàng Bảo Long – Chuyên Vịt & Thỏ.
- For a current option on Đà Nẵng Street: Quán Út Thỏ at number 437, not the earlier number 567.
1. Thanh Nhàn Quán – Thỏ
Thanh Nhàn is the easiest restaurant in this guide to plan around because its Lê Duẩn location has a public mobile contact and a complete weekly schedule. The restaurant is outside the compact central dining area, in Kiến An ward, so confirm the meal before arranging a separate ride.
- Current restaurant address: 33 Lê Duẩn, Kiến An ward, Hai Phong.
- Phone: 0845 172 000; from outside Vietnam, use +84 845 172 000.
- Published hours: 08:30–22:00 daily.
- Best for: diners who want to speak to the restaurant, confirm the rabbit menu and pre-order before leaving.
A second Thanh Nhàn listing uses the same phone number and places the business in the Cách Thượng area. It does not publish a street number or opening schedule. If that location is more convenient, ask the restaurant to send its current map pin and confirm whether it offers a dining room or only prepared food for collection.
2. Hà Béo Thịt Thỏ Đồ Rừng Đồ Núi
Hà Béo is listed specifically as a meat-dish restaurant, and its full name places rabbit alongside countryside and mountain-style meats. It is a useful alternative in Hải An when Thanh Nhàn is too far away. No current public phone or detailed menu is available, so search the exact Vietnamese name in your map app immediately before traveling.
- Address: 61 Ngô Gia Tự, Hải An ward, Hai Phong.
- Hours shown in the map listing: 09:00–23:00; verify today’s schedule before leaving.
- Contact: no dependable public phone is published.
- Best for: diners in Hải An who want a rabbit-focused restaurant lead and can check the live map listing first.
The words đồ rừng and đồ núi describe the restaurant’s wider meat theme; they do not guarantee a particular species or dish. Ask what meat is available, how it was sourced and which rabbit preparations the kitchen can serve that day.
3. Nhà Hàng Bảo Long – Chuyên Vịt & Thỏ
The full Vietnamese name means Bảo Long Restaurant – specializing in duck and rabbit. This is another restaurant lead in Hải An, particularly for a group in which some diners may prefer duck. The restaurant is listed at 237 Trung Lực, but a dependable public phone and direct app ordering are not available.
- Address: 237 Trung Lực, Hải An ward, Hai Phong.
- Hours shown in the food-app listing: 08:00–21:00; confirm before traveling.
- Contact: no dependable public phone is available; check the exact name and address in a map or food-delivery app on the day.
- Best for: diners near Trung Lực who want to compare rabbit and duck dishes.
Do not assume rabbit is prepared every day simply because it appears in the restaurant name. Check whether the current listing is accepting orders, then confirm the rabbit dish, portion and preparation time before setting out.
4. Quán Út Thỏ
Út Thỏ now appears at 437 Đà Nẵng Street rather than the earlier number 567. Use the current map pin and exact Vietnamese name; do not rely on the old landline or on similarly named Út Nhỏ listings at the former address.
- Current address: 437 Đà Nẵng, Đông Hải ward, Hai Phong.
- Hours shown in the map listing: 06:00–22:30; verify the schedule for your visit.
- Contact: no current public phone is published.
- Best for: diners already near Đà Nẵng Street who can confirm the live map location and rabbit availability.
A detailed menu is not publicly available. Ask whether rabbit is served as individual dishes, a set meal or a whole animal, and whether advance ordering is required.
Rabbit dishes to ask for
A restaurant may prepare only a few rabbit dishes on a given day. Save the Vietnamese name of the dish you want, but let the restaurant explain its recipe and portion because seasonings and serving styles vary.
- Thỏ hấp lá chanh: rabbit steamed with lime leaves.
- Thỏ rang muối: rabbit fried or roasted with a savory salt seasoning.
- Thỏ nướng: grilled rabbit; ask whether it is served by portion or as a whole animal.
- Thỏ xào lăn: stir-fried rabbit with aromatic seasoning; ingredients vary by kitchen.
- Lẩu thỏ: rabbit hot pot, usually better suited to two or more diners.
- Cháo thỏ or bún thỏ: rabbit porridge or rabbit noodles, which may be available only at certain meal times.
Tiết canh thỏ is raw or only partially set rabbit blood pudding. Choose fully cooked food instead. If you are offered a rare, lightly cooked or raw preparation, ask for it to be cooked through.
What to confirm before ordering
- Ask whether rabbit is available today. A mixed-menu restaurant may not keep it ready for every service.
- Check whether you must pre-order. A whole rabbit, hot pot or group meal may require extra preparation time.
- Confirm how the price is calculated. It may be quoted per dish, by weight, for half a rabbit or for a whole rabbit. Ask whether drinks, side dishes, wet towels and other additions cost extra.
- Agree on the preparation. Repeat the dish name, spice level and number of portions. Ask how many people the restaurant expects the order to serve.
- Request fully cooked meat. Rabbit should arrive hot and cooked through. If you buy raw rabbit to prepare yourself, keep it chilled, prevent contact with ready-to-eat food and cook it to an internal temperature of at least 71°C.
- Discuss allergies before the kitchen starts. Sauces and marinades may contain peanuts, sesame, soy, fish sauce, shellfish products or alcohol, and shared equipment creates a cross-contact risk.

Frequently asked questions
Is rabbit a signature Hai Phong specialty?
Rabbit is a niche local meal rather than one of the city foods most commonly promoted to visitors. If this is your first food stop in Hai Phong, dishes such as bánh đa cua are much easier to find. Choose rabbit when you specifically want it and have time to arrange the meal.
Do I need a reservation?
Pre-ordering is the safest approach, especially for a whole rabbit, hot pot or group meal. A restaurant may need time to prepare the meat even when it is open for other dishes.
How much does a rabbit meal cost in Hai Phong?
Do not plan around old online prices. The bill depends on the rabbit’s weight, the preparation, the number of dishes and whether you order sides or drinks. Ask for the complete price and portion size before confirming.
Which rabbit restaurant is easiest to contact?
Thanh Nhàn is the easiest option to confirm directly because it publishes a mobile number. The other three require a current map or food-app check, so they are better suited to diners who are already nearby and can verify the listing immediately before leaving.
Which rabbit restaurant should you choose?
Start with Thanh Nhàn when you want the security of a phone confirmation. Choose Hà Béo for a rabbit-focused meat restaurant near Ngô Gia Tự, Bảo Long when the group may also want duck, or Út Thỏ when you are near Đà Nẵng Street. Whichever restaurant you choose, confirm the same-day menu and location, agree on the price and order rabbit fully cooked.
