TASCO Mall (formerly Savico Megamall) in Hanoi, Vietnam

TASCO Mall is the current identity of the Long Bien shopping complex that Travel S Helper previously listed as Savico Megamall. The site remains at 7–9 Nguyen Van Linh in eastern Hanoi, but the old Savico name should now be treated as a former name rather than the public-facing brand. Hanoi’s Department of Culture and Sports explicitly referred to the property in 2025 as “Savico (now Tasco Mall),” and the current TASCO Mall website uses the same address and publishes daily operating hours. That continuity is important for visitors following an older guide, taxi driver, saved map pin or legacy URL: the place has not disappeared, but its name has changed.

The mall is a large, enclosed retail destination serving Long Bien and the eastern side of the Red River. TASCO describes the property as occupying 6.3 hectares and positions it as a place for everyday shopping, dining and entertainment rather than a narrow luxury center. The practical character is visible in the tenant mix and services: a hypermarket remains a major anchor, while cafés, restaurants, family services, entertainment venues and shops fill the commercial floors. Current map data also shows GO! Long Bien operating in the complex, so grocery shopping remains one of the reasons local families use the property regularly rather than only on special occasions.

For a visitor, the most useful way to understand TASCO Mall is as a broad suburban mall rather than a compact downtown arcade. The scale and range make it appropriate for a half-day practical stop if you want groceries, a meal, coffee and some retail browsing in one place. It is less compelling as a sightseeing attraction in its own right. Travelers staying in the Old Quarter should weigh the journey across the river against what they specifically need; people staying in Long Bien, Gia Thuy or nearby residential districts will find it much more convenient.

The mall’s current website lists facilities intended to make longer visits easier. These include customer-service support and conveniences such as free phone charging integrated with seating. The current tenant environment also includes cafés and service businesses, and a 2026 wedding-center brochure confirms active event space on the third floor. Together, these sources show that this is still a functioning mixed retail-and-service complex rather than a legacy name attached to an inactive building.

Families are a natural audience because the format combines shopping with food and entertainment under one roof. That does not mean every older tenant survives: individual brands inside the former Savico Megamall have changed over time, and legacy lists should not be treated as a current directory. If a particular restaurant, cinema, shop or service is the reason for your visit, check the TASCO Mall directory or the tenant’s own page before traveling. The property is stable; the internal brand mix is the volatile part.

The official operating schedule published by TASCO Mall is 09:00–22:00 every day. Those are mall-wide hours, but a hypermarket, cinema, restaurant, clinic or event venue may keep a different timetable. Holiday schedules can also differ. For that reason, arriving well before closing is sensible if you need several errands rather than a single shop. The mall’s official contact channels are more reliable than old Savico pages for current events, temporary closures and tenant changes.

Access is straightforward by road because Nguyen Van Linh is a major Long Bien corridor, but travel time from central Hanoi is traffic-sensitive. The mall provides parking and is designed for customers arriving by motorbike or car. Public-transport options change, so this record does not guess bus numbers or fixed journey times. Use the current TASCO Mall address in a navigation app rather than searching only for “Savico Megamall,” which can surface outdated entries even though both names point to the same complex.

Accessibility is better approached through the mall’s modern enclosed-building format than through assumptions. The complex has lifts and escalators and functions as a multi-level shopping center, but the checked official pages do not provide a complete accessibility audit covering every entrance, restroom or tenant. Travelers who need step-free routing, wheelchair parking or specific assistance should contact the mall before visiting. The current complex is large enough that knowing the target floor in advance can reduce unnecessary walking.

A practical visit can be short if you are only collecting groceries or eating, but two to four hours is a reasonable planning estimate for browsing several floors, using entertainment facilities and having a meal. The key update for Travel S Helper is the identity change: this is no longer best presented as Savico Megamall. The durable entity is the same Long Bien shopping complex, now branded TASCO Mall, and the legacy route should continue to lead readers to that current place rather than creating a duplicate page.

The 2026 operator material also makes the post-rebrand positioning clear: TASCO Mall markets itself as an everyday destination rather than a one-off shopping excursion, and official pages provide live event, promotion and service channels. That current operating footprint is a stronger basis for the page than surviving Savico-branded storefront references, which may remain visible online after the center itself changed name.
