Coca goes international

Coca goes international

The much-loved Thai restaurant Coca makes its debut on the international scene with the opening of a new outlet in Hanoi in collaboration with Vietnamese restaurateur Diep Nyugen.

Situated in the bustling Ba Dinh district, this four-storey eatery has a stylish contemporary look. The decor takes inspiration from Indochinese architecture, while the menu combines Thai and Chinese recipes in simple, healthy Asian meals that appeal to multigenerational families and a business clientele. 
Brand owner Pitaya Phanphensophon is responsible for developing new recipes to suit the Vietnamese palate.
“We believe in evolving and growing with our diners, of course, but our commitment to good food and excellent value for money is something that will never change,” says Pitaya. 
Using locally sourced ingredients, the signature Ying Yang hotpot is already popular with Vietnamese diners thanks to the spicy tom yam soup that pairs perfectly with fresh prawns and fish. 
The menu includes a wide range of appetisers such as drunken chicken and durian seafood roll. Other highlights are Thai favourites Larb (spicy minced pork), Coca Stir-fried Noodles and Braised Prawn with Glass Noodles. The Cajun seafood bucket and Poo Phad Phong Karee (wok fried crab in yellow curry) are perfect for sharing with family and friends.
“For this project, our partner understands just how sophisticated the dining scene has become in places like Hanoi and she has spared no expense in the design or quality of experience,” says Trevor MacKenzie, managing director of Coca & Mango Tree Worldwide. 
“The restaurant overlooks Thanh Cong Lake (Success Lake). We aim to offer local diners a lively dining scene and become a new hangout for office workers. We are confident that Coca’s strong reputation in the Vietnam and the hospitality sector will enhance the existing offerings.”
