Ha Noi Corner Restaurant

I came here for the first time and it will definitely be my last. The food and service were just average — nothing special and not worth the price. What really ruined the experience was how dirty the place was. The tables and floors didn’t look clean, and to make things worse, I found a dead fly in the dipping sauce. That’s completely unacceptable. I lost my appetite right away. There are plenty of better Vietnamese restaurants around, so I highly recommend going somewhere else instead of this place.

Food was great! That’s coffee is Amazing, just perfect amount of bitterness, cream and salt foam. Will Come back for the coffee alone. The noodle plate was good. Presentation is on point. Didn’t like the green thing (maybe fish cake)

First time eating north Vietnam foods. I’m in love with it. Bun dau mam tom is truly good and authentic if I’m not wrong. Banh cuon hanoi’s grilled pork in mixed fish sauce is unforgettable. Portion is generous. Very quiet place for breakfast. Will be back if I get a chance!

Not a bad Vietnamese spot. The menu offers a good variety of Vietnamese dishes. The food was good and the service was average. The decor is simple with booths and table options. All are well spaced providing ample room.

First time trying Ha Noi corner and I was glad that the food was quite good! It’s wasn’t the blow your mind good, but definitely worth trying. Love their hotpot, flavorful and yummy. The deep fried soft shell crab was meh, I wouldn’t order it again: the bun thit nuong was good and always a safe order. My favorite is the Korean short ribs, that dish was delicious. Wished we got more than 2 pieces for the price. Place was nice and clean , and food was good.

Bánh cuốn is thin and chewy! Flavor is Umami. Herbs is fresh! Very unexpected. Scallop with salted egg is yummy. Will come back to try more.

First time my brother and I came here, we were seated right away, sat at the booth, comfortable seats, food was great, both of us had soups, wanted to see how their flavors were. It was great, easy soup dishes with good ingredients along with milk tea as options for drinks. Customer service was respectful amd courteous which I was surprised, most Asian restaurants have no customer service, this place had large seating areas and a good vibe for its ambiance. I recommend this place for good authentic vietnamese dishes, i suggest brunch more so than for dinner.

A friend introduced me to Hanoi Corner, and I tried Bún Chả Hanoi for the first time—absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, with perfectly grilled pork and fresh herbs that made every bite memorable. I also tried their Bún Bò Huế, and it was just as impressive—rich, flavorful broth with the right amount of spice, tender beef, and thick, chewy noodles that hit the spot. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. A great spot in Orange County for anyone craving authentic Northern and Central Vietnamese dishes.

Pros: - Vibe is ok - Service was good - Food came quickly - Plating was decent - Tasty and authentic food Cons: - Noisy karaoke bar next door - Bathroom was in need of service - Parking lot was large but pretty full Overall: 4/5 Bun Dau Mam Tom: 5/5 Sauce was perfect, Cha Com was authentic, the noodles were just a bit too soft. Mi Xao Bo Luc Lac: 3/5 Noodles lacked flavor but the beef was good. Other Notes: Overall price was good and the taste was authentic.

My favorite thing to get here is the bun cha Hanoi. The meat is flavorful, and they give you plenty of veggies. I have had the bun moc twice, and it was ok. The bun bo hue is new, or so it said on the menu, so we tried it. It was a no go. The broth was not it. It tasted like too much msg and really sweet. Barely enough meat and the meat were chewy. The worst bbh bowl I ever ate. Bun cha Hanoi 9/10 recommend Bun moc 7/10 would get again Bun bo hue 0/10 I wouldn't even call it bun bo hue

So my girlfriend and I are nearly hitting the rank of 'Regulars' at this delicious establishment. As I'm still trying new Vietnamese food, I've found a few dishes that are already my favorite at Ha Noi corner! But here's my review from 5.3.24 around 6:33pm! FOOD The dishes we ordered were SO DIEP NUONG TRUNG CUT (Grilled Scallop with Quail eggs with onion sauce) for appetizer, for our main dishes we ordered B9: BUN RIEU CUA LOT HA NOI (Ha Noi Soft-shell Crab tomato tofu, crunchy pork patty vermicelli soup) and B8: BUN THAI TOM YUM HAI SAN (Thai Tom Yum Noodle Soup with assorted seafood and pork) So Diep Nuong Trung Cut | Grilled Scallop with Quail eggs with onion sauce The last few times we've ate here, we're always ordering this appetizer. I love grilled scallop and my girlfiend loves quail eggs. Topping it off with onion sauce....it's the perfect combo! Highly recommend this appetizer if you're feeling scallop, quail eggs or both! Bun Rieu Cua Lot Ha No (B9) From my knowledge, this is one of the dishes that Ha Noi Corner is known for! Fan favorite and definitely our favorite! Perfect entree for those cold cloudy days or even for the Summer time! Bun Thai Tom Yum Hai San (B8) Recently tried this bowl of goodness this year and I've been hooked! I'm a huge fan of tom yum soup and having it served with shrimp and pork and assorted seafood is the ultimate combo for me! It's highly addicting and warms the soul, no-brainer my favorite dish! Dessert | Mochi/ube filled pastry I missed the name of this tasty dessert but it's a new item and wanted a fine dessert as the cherry on top. We enjoyed it but I feel like something was missing. It's nice that it was made to order so you can actually watch them make it from your seat! Keep in mind that this is a new item added to the menu so it may take time for it to be an official item! SERVICE Always on point with their service even if it's busy. Moderately checking up on us to see how we're doing while not being a nuisance. Time from ordering to receiving your food is pretty spot on as well. So if you're hungry, you won't be waiting too long! OVERALL Trying to reach that 'Regulars' rank for this place, I've yet to try all the food here so you can count on me coming back! Parking is pretty decent but weekends can differ so plan ahead! Especially during lunch or dinner time!

The food was bomb! 100%! Highly recommend if you are craving authentic Vietnamese food. The service was on-point! Kevin was really attentive and recommended the best for us! The ambiance was chill and lovely. Definitely a place to go after work!

I adore Hanoi food, so I feel bad giving a low review. - Bún Chả was mediocre. The grilled pork could use more marination and also more smoky flavor. It also has a weird freezer porky smell, which I believe can be avoided if you rinse the pork with vinegar before cooking. The chả (patties) were better. The pickles have an alcoholic aftertaste which I believe is due to being pickled for too long. I find the fish sauce a bit too bland. Veggies were good. - Bún Riêu was the best of all three. I like the soft shelled crab. I don't really care for how the crab patties are made, because I prefer the style with more crab meat. I found the snails a bit too freezer tasting. The broth was pretty decent. - ốc hương trứng muối: okay please do not order this. Whoever made this has probably hasn't had how it's supposed to taste like. The sauce was incredibly bland. You can't even taste the salted egg yolk let along other flavors. If made right, the sauce is so flavorful you can dip french baguettes in it. The real deal wouldn't need extra seasoning like the gingery fish sauce or the salt and pepper mix like they serve it here. The gingery fish sauce is for steamed snails, not for a saucy stir fried dish. The snails don't taste fresh. Don't waste your money on this dish. I asked the staff if they had forgotten to season (in case they had an off day), but it didn't seem so. - If you share their Facebook post you'll receive a complementary coffee or milk tea. I got the house coffee and it's pretty good. Large portion too! - The staff was friendly. However, I wish they had checked on us at least once during our meal. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we felt that the service was pretty minimal once your food is served. - Restaurant is spacious and clean. Parking should be easy since the big lot is shared with many other shops.

Coming back to the states from Vietnam, bestowed with a taste for a dish I frequented in the mother land. Bun Chaaaa!!!! I was on a search to find and relive this flavorful experience. I noticed that when I came back, this dish was not as popular here in the states. That's when I found Ha Noi Corner. I drove all the way from LA to try their Bun Cha Hanoi. It was love at first bite. The perfect recreation of presentation, flavor, portion, and ambiance that captivates Vietnams capital. Looking around it really felt like I was there for a moment. My partner had the their highly recommended bun rieu. It was packed with fish and soft shell crab . Never have I ever seen or tasted this soup so authentic! If you're in the area and want to visit the capital city without hopping on a plane. Enjoy great friendly service with tasty food. I recommend you stop by Ha Noi Corner.

peaceful spot that serves amazing hanoi food. first time trying bun cha and it was delicious. been here another time to try the rice with bbq pork, and i gobbled the entire plate down. can't wait to come back to try other things from the menu :3

Been coming here for two years now and still have been more than satisfied with the food. Brought newcomers and all have said they want to come back. Get the Bun Cha Hanoi!

Fresh off my trip to Hanoi, this restaurant really reminded me of the food and energy in Vietnam! I had the bun cha which was plated beautifully and served with a generous amount of veggies and noodles. It was great with their mango and kumquat tea. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. I love how on weekends they serve banh 10 won outside! Banh 10 won is a trendy new dessert from Korea that is served at every night market in Vietnam. It is a warm cheesy pancake-like dessert. I would check their instagram in advance to see what hours they are selling it but it is definitely worth it for the late night in Vietnam vibes.

My family and I have been patronizing the restaurant for years - old location, new location, any location - they still make a very good chả cá thăng long among other Northern Vietnamese dishes. I recently lunched here with my mom. We accidentally ordered 2 chả cá thăng long ($17) entrees though one order is just about enough if you're sharing with the intention of trying other things. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying this dish, it's delightfully pungent - fish filets are seasoned in turmeric and cooked on a sizzling plate with dill and onions. It's served with vermicelli noodles, plenty of herbs, and mắm nêm. The version here is quite good - the filets are big and flakey. The mắm nêm also packs a punch. Ha Noi Corner offers a lot of Northern Vietnamese dishes you won't find elsewhere. I like that their menu is always evolving to offer something new along with something old.

Came here for lunch with a few buddies. I got the vermicelli with the grilled pork, egg rolls, and added shrimp (additional $2). There was plenty of vermicelli noodles. The veggies were fresh. The grilled pork was a bit dry but it was flavorful. The egg rolls were good but a little too greasy. The shrimp was fried and it was too dry. The service was alright. I spoke Vietnamese so I was able to communicate with the waiter and waitress. My friends asked if they had jalapeños and the waiter just mumbled something and walked away. It was difficult to communicate with them if you don't speak Vietnamese. Overall, the dish was just average. I don't know if I want to come back.

I got the cheese coin and it's really good with cream cheese and cheese together. I ask to have both of them together. It was a mix of savory, sweet, crispy, and mochi like pancake. I did get the cheese pull. I love it! Cute little vendor cart inside for a nice snack. I suggest coming around 7pm because they have to prepare and it is ready at a later time.

Yooooo! Def one of the best Viet spot in SoCal If you come here only once and order only one dish, I wholeheartedly recommend you to get Bun Cha Ha Noi! It's 12/10. It was amazing! The noodles are fresh and chewy but when it's dipped in the soup- it is a godsend. You want to add in the veggies and fresh herb. The accompanying meat was outstanding. We also order a side of fried rice but it wasn't needed since our main dish was very generous. All the drinks were 10/10 The service was fantastic. Speedy and friendly. Plus they gave us these fabulous Vietnamese Macarons ice cream for dessert. The inside was very spacious and clean. Great for date and groups. I'll be dreaming bout that BUN CHA tonight.

The food was amazing. We were a bit disappointed with the beef stew with vermicelli. It was not hot. We were unsure if that's how it's supposed to be or it's supposed to be warmer. We will definitely be back for more food to try. The service could use a lot of improvement. We waited too long to place our order. We didn't get a glass of water at all. To be fair, they were busy. But then again, there were enough staff to serve everyone. The ambiance was ok. I didn't get to use the restroom so I can't rate it. My most favorite is the fried rice 5/5. Soft shell crab - 4.5/5, the rest are 4.8/5. It's worth going back to.

The reviews seemed good on google. The soup wasn't as flavorful as I thought. It needed more lemongrass and lime. I just felt like it was missing garnishes and it had the typical pork you eat with ramen (kind of weird). Edible though. The scallops were okay. They didn't taste as fresh. The pork with rice wasn't good. It wasn't as moist as it looked. It needed to be marinated more with the fish sauce. Overall, I wouldn't come back, as there are sooo many good Vietnamese restaurant in this area, but I'm glad I was able to give it a try!

One of the several Vietnamese restaurants in this plaza Hanoi corner should be one of your top choices when you're in this area.They have a large selection of Vietnamese dishes. And if you're on diet like me there's a lot of low calorie foods to choose from

New fav spot for my Thai Tea Boba!!! I work in the same shopping center and regularly go on walks on my breaks, so I decided to pop in one day to check out there menu and saw that they had boba drinks on their menu. I came back the next day and ordered some for myself and a few co-workers and we are all hooked. I ordered myself the Thai Tea W/Boba and I was not disappointed by the taste or the price. I will most def be coming back here. Oh, can't forget the Ice Cream Macaroon (Vanilla) That also deserves 5 stars.

This was our last stop before heading back to San Diego. I like that they have Japanese bamboo and other plants as decor- it's very calming. They have menu items that I crave for, since SD doesn't have most of these dishes. I ordered baby clams with crispy rice crackers and a lychee lemonade. I really enjoyed this light entree and the drink was so refreshing! My friend didn't like her soft-shell crab dish, but the others seemed to enjoy their steamed clams and banh cuon. Service was quick and efficient!

Mình thường xuyên đến đây vì mình rất thích vị mắm tôm ở Hanoi Corner, đúng chuẩn vị Bắc. Đồ ăn ngon, cô chủ nhiệt tình, mến khách. Highly recommend

I ordered the dill fish cakes with vermecilli and I enjoyed it but only because I love shrimp paste and there is definitely a tastier way to eat this but you need to know how to combine flavours and textures. So if you aren't into very ethic food I don't suggest it because you might not be a fan of the stinky purple sauce my husband won't kiss me for days after I eat this. Here's how I eat this: So you need the small little bowl they give you 1. you're going to want to wait for the white onions at the bottom to sauté on their little cooker 2 put into your small bowl some vermecelli, rip up some herbs, crush some of the crispy chip, put some of the dill cooked white onions and a bit of the fish 3. You want the pieces small enough to try to get a bit of everything in one bite 4. Now put some of the purple sauce and mix it up don't put too much 5. Now try to gather everything on your chopstick or hover the bowl over your mouth to scoop everything in your mouth LOL 6. Eat a peanut after every bite and repeat process They also make a bomb ass winter melon milk tea! I didn't love their bun rieu so it lost a star

This place was not too busy for a Sunday. I decided to order some non-traditional items. The fried shrimp with yams was difficult to eat and the yams were super dry. The scallops with the salted egg was a disappointment, it definitely didn't taste like salted egg. The service was ok, they literally took our order, delivered the food, and that was the only interaction. We had to go to the register to pay. With so many other options for Vietnamese food places, we definitely won't be back.

Great service. Delicious food! The marinated filet mignon with white rice is my favorite dish! Kevin, one of the employees, is the nicest and most attentive!

This restaurant got Bun dau mam tom in OC. Overall restaurant is clean and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back to try other dishes

Came here for their bun dau mam tom & they did not disappoint. I personally really like the mam tom here (shrimp sauce). It has a nice balance of sweet, salty and fishiness. The cha com and tofu is done really well to a perfect deep fried on the outside and chewy on the inside. My partner got the bun thit nuong and it wasn't that good. The nuoc mam was water down, the thit nuong was really cold and hard. Will not try this dish again. The lady at the cashier lady is always nice whenever we came here. Will come back again just for the bun dau.

Hanging around Garden Grove and was craving some Vietnamese food. Came in on a Saturday night, surprisingly it wasn't that busy and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is tidy, tables and floor are clean. We ordered their bun doc mung and their bun rieu. The soup for their bun doc mung tasted very clean. Reminded me a lot of my mother's cooking! The bun rieu tasted a little "stinky" but that is due to the high amount of seafood that is added into the soup. It was my first time trying snail and I enjoyed it. It's almost like clam but more chewy. If you're looking for something new and different to try I would recommend both of these dishes.

Amazing food!!!! Service is great! Nice environment! If you love Vietnamese food this is a go to place.

If you want a good Vietnamese restaurant, this is not the place for you. Don't rely on the google map review because those are probably bought. The service here is terrible to begin with. You pretty much have to do everything here yourself. The utensils are not clean The food is mediocre at best

Chả cá thăng long. Không đúng, miến cá nhỏ lăng bột chiên ăn mất ngon. Nấu không đúng.

I came here for the (B1) bun cha hanoi, which looks delicious with how it's presented on a plate. The dish was good, but I've had better at other places nearby. We also got (B10) bun rieu with the snail patty and it was flavorful. This is a great soup noodle dish during rainy cold weathers. It's quite comforting. The only disappointing dish we got was the snails with coconut milk. Maybe I don't know how to eat them, but they're incredibly hard to eat. They use mud creeper snails, which are smaller snails and not uncommon to use for this type of Vietnamese dish, but wow it's difficult to even get any meat out of the shells. They didn't provide us toothpicks but we had to go to the cashier counter to get them so we can pick the meat out from the shell. The flavor is there but it's not worth the money in my opinion. Overall not a bad place and the service is friendly.

This restaurant is such a great find. My favorite dish that I love to order is listed as the O2 aka "Banh cuon thit cha nurong Hai Noi".Once I discovered this dish, I never order any other dish because I love it so much. I love pairing my meal with the passion fruit green tea too.

So good, we love coming here once a month just to eat their noodle dishes. Never a disappointment. Fast attentive service, all the food is super good. Cute place.

The bun dau was delicious and bun cha Ha Noi was incredible ! Until I went to the restroom. It was dirty. No it was filthy! Note to the owner- please clean your dam restroom! Restroom cleanliness is an indicator of your kitchen and it ruined my appetite. Don't know if I will return to this restaurant .

I remember dining at their old location and liking their food so I decided to give it another try! Sad to say that I bought my parents here and we didn't like it at all. I got their bun rieu and the broth was REALLY sweet which was a bit strange. They were also stingy on the vegetables and bean sprouts. Overall, it wasn't fulfilling. The pork in the bun cha hanoi was also fatty and it tasted off. I really don't get how you can mess up bun cha. Service was okay but we won't be back.

Well everyone has probably tried Pho, Banh Mi and Vermicelli by now. But have you ever have authentic Northern Vietnamese food before? To be honest, this was my first time as well and i am still deciding how much do i like them. I actually still dont know what exactly is in my dish. 1 thing for sure is this restaurant brought something unique, something different than the average offering. The plate i had was a shrimp sauce noodle with a full plate of fried tofu, meat, veggie. The taste is so authentic, you would think that you got portal to Vietnam. the service was fast and attentive. and the pricing? very competitive just like most Asian business in the area. The rest of the restaurant is good. The main selling point is still the Northern Vietinames food that is not commonly available. I would recommend everyone to come for a bit of a food adventure.

My son's girlfriend is from Hanoi and they have dined in probably a handful of times, coming down from LA. But her birthday actually fell on a workday so her wish was for me to bring takeout of her favorite dishes from there: bun cha Hanoi and tamarind snails. The front walkway is undergoing repair, but there was, thankfully, plenty of parking. The takeout counter was brisk, but my food was ready when it was promised by. Their takeaway: dine in if at all possible, as you get about 20% more portion-wise. The flavors were still on point even while they ate the cold entrees, but you are left wanting more because you know there should be more.

Cha ca was dry and soggy . Don't order this dish $20 not worth it. Maybe there there bun is better . Any case I not coming back

Dude bún chả Hanoi .. nước mắm ain't nước mắm, it's just meat broth. The meat suppose to be charred , it looks and taste like it's boiled and then place in the leftover broth...tastes like thịt kho. Don't know what to call it , it ain't bún chả Hanoi , it ain't Asian fusion , it pretty much suck . Place looks clean though .

Great food . Great price . Decent ambiance. They also open late so that is a big plus. Service is typical for a restaurant . Will come again

Food is good, service great. I like shrimp cake ( bánh tôm), and bún riêu. Parking is a challenge, sometimes. Highly recommend.

Good place to eat. I'd come back. My wife enjoyed the meal and the service too. Thank you again

My go to place for bún thịt nướng & bún chả Hà Nội. They have a big selection of việt food. Staff are friendly and kind. Store interior is nice and clean. Highly recommended

If you are Into seafood this is a good place to go. Typical Vietnamese food. Their Garlic Escargot is a treat. Nothing fancy, but comfortable. Service fast and friendly. A good place to come as a family.

They moved to a different location and the food is not the same. The clam porridge is what I would come here for every time I'm in town, but they no longer serving it. I had bún thang and it tastes different. Corn milk was so thick, too much condensed milk. I tried couple clams dishes, not up to my expectations, what happened? Did they changed the cook too? New location is nicer and newer complex, but the food was not what I used to have the past 5-6 years.

Food was very fresh and authentic in flavors highly recommend the fried soft shell crabs .... Bun dau mam Tom was good.... Portions were big and shareable .... Dont recommend the coconut nails because many were very difficult to eat ..:: don't think they are as fresh .... Overall it is a nice place to stop for lunch

This must be a new location ? I like how spacious it is and clean. Our server was really nice and helpful. We had some special requests for our family and he was very accomodating. Their menu is extensive and has just about something for everyone. Amongst are favs are the bun rieu, banh cuon ha noi, and anything with clams in it! It was really flavorful and came out quickly. The bun rieu broth was yummy. No complaints here.

Came here for the first time with family visiting from another stage. The food was not disappointing and we did enjoy it. Some parts of the food were questionable but still very good. If anyone wants to come for vietnamese noodle broths besides Pho and Bun Bo Hue. I recommend here :)

My Vietnamese friend visiting SoCal wanted to have food in Little Saigon before leaving, so she took us to Ha Noi Corner, a place specializing in Northern Vietnamese cuisine. The parking lot in the plaza is large, and even though the restaurant was busy when we arrived for lunch on a Sunday, it wasn't too long of a wait for a table. The interior is very nice with colorful decorated walls. Service was good, though our friend spoke in Vietnamese so I wasn't totally sure what was going on. We ordered snails in tamarind sauce, baked scallops, a savory rice cake appetizer, bún riêu ốc noodle soup, and a vermicelli platter. Everything was tasty with strong flavors, and I definitely tried a lot of new things that I had never had before. Prices were fair and portions medium. Definitely recommend for Northern Vietnamese food!

The service was good and the restaurant didn't have a wait. However, we didn't enjoy most of the items that we ordered. The mango tea was sweet with no mango flavor. The hibiscus dragonfruit tea was slightly sweetened and had a good hibiscus flavor. The drink was actually refreshing and probably was the only item we enjoyed. The oc len xao dua snails were incredibly small. The sauce was watery and overly sweetened with sugar. The snails with the salted egg yolks were also sweet. The sauce didn't have any taste of salted egg yolks even though it was an orange color. The snails were not coated in the sauce, and they were overcooked. You can tell by how chewy they were. The canh bun oc was, again, sweet. The broth didn't taste like it had any seafood or tomato. The mi xao gion was the most disappointing. The noodles are larger than usual. It didn't seem like it was freshly fried since it was soggy and stale. There were barely any protein toppings, but they do give you a ton of bok choy and sauce. A very small portion for the price.

Food was good Service was good Ambiance was good not too crowded Not in pic but the bun rieu was good. Use the shrimp paste sauce for everything

You know a place good when the restaurant has two super large parties dining there. I bookmarked this place to try their Bun Cha Hanoi but somehow didn't end up ordering it. So many different items offered not typically found in most vietnamese restaurants. The "Bun Ca Rau Can Thi La Ha Noi" was a light and delicious. Their vietnamese iced coffee was perfection. My only complaint is that each dish came out sporadically. Will definitely be back to try more new dishes!
