Squating at Hanoi Ta Hien Beer street, sipping their 15k VND beer

is 5 days overkill iny hcm?

Certainly not. You can take your time. If this is for your first time, you can go on excursions:
1. Mekong Delta
2. Cu Chi and Cao Dai Temples

good local food in Hanoi

Anyone has any good recommendations for local food in Hanoi? Going there next Wednesday to Saturday. Went there last September and really liked it, going again thanks to cheap SQ fares. Will be staying at Intercon (stayed there the last time too, very nice hotel just alittle further from the Old Quarters). Didn't manage to find very good local food the last time I was there, hope to find better Pho or their baguettes if possible. TIA!

for food in hanoi, try net hue or quan an ngon. they are restaurants specializing in traditional vietnamese food, complete with menu and prices are fixed. unless you are very familiar with vietnam, you will likely get carrots from street side stalls and end up paying more.

if you are truly adventurous, you can install the app foody and explore.

intercontiental @ west lake? very peaceful spot.
if you walk southwards along Yen Phu, you should find some nice cafe, eatery etc. walk further to reach Thanh Nien (road that divide ho tay & ho truc bach), i think Banh tom ho tay is worth a try

more choices in Old Quarter ~ xoi, pho ga, bun cha, banh mi etc just to name a few

if you want to taste various Vietnamese food in one place, quan an ngon recommended by kitkat2 is good

just walk around old quarter ... plenty of street food
xoi, pho ga, bun cha, banh mi etc just to name a few

walk across Long Biên Bridge, unique experience
evening walk around Hoan kiem lake very nice if in cool weather
detour to Trang Tien for some ice cream (you see many people pushing their bike into building to have ice cream! unique culture)
walk further towards hanoi opera house, u see many beautiful building left by french
