Hanco's

I been coming here for years! Is always consistent, great quality & delicious! The shredded chicken Vietnamese sandwich is my favorite, the bread crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside all the flavors well balanced, bubble tea always really good, my two favorite flavors: coffee & mocha latte! Soup was delicious too, excited to try other ones! Love the decor & the vibe with plenty of indoor seating. The staff were super nice & friendly! Excellent service!

I wish there was an option for zero or no star instead of one star because the service is absolutely awful and the food quality is even worse. The food are half cooked and I have mentioned that I have a dietary restriction and also ridiculous restriction of pork. I do not eat pork and they add pork in my food. The food was half cooked and smelly and I absolutely hate it. I would not recommend to anyone. Please do not go to this place and waste your money. These people don’t offer good food.

BANH MI, PHO, BUBBLE TEA🧋 Good fix in the neighborhood for these things. The pho is decent and honestly a little hit or miss depending on the time of day and season of the year you get it. At best it’s ok and at worst it’s not worth getting but on this particular day they gave a good amount of meat so that was good. The banh mi is good and I do like the ground meat in the classic style even though that’s not really authentic but it’s a nice twist. The bubble tea is actually the best thing here. What Hancos does well is that it has the variety of all of those things plus also Summer Rolls. Expect the expensive Park Slope price. Highly Recommended for that fix ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We order from Hanco's regularly. Their food is tasty and we will likely continue to keep patronizing this business despite spotty service. Be very careful when placing online orders. The menu can be confusing. We ordered a vermicelli rice noodle salad and checked "extra protein" and were charged $5 for extra lettuce. The worker there said when people order a regular salad and specify "extra protein" they put in more lettuce! Why an option to order "extra protein" for $5 is understood by the staff as "more lettuce" is baffling at best, but this only illustrates why one must be extra careful here! Good food, slightly expensive prices for the quality, and lackluster service, but it's not egregious enough to stop ordering from here.

Fresh ingredients, delicious, affordable and great portions, so glad I stumbled across this place!

I love sitting in here! I have not tried a huge variety from their food menu so I can’t speak on that but I love their drinks! This is the kind of place you can order and sit in. There is a lot of sunlight and seating. You could even potentially work on a laptop here (not sure of WiFi/plug situation). My only drawback is there is a super strong vinegar-ish smell every time I visit (I’m sure it’s just one of their ingredients they use). If you’re sensitive to smells maybe just do take-out.

Their new storefront a couple units down from the old one is bright and beautiful! Picking up an order from grubhub was easy. Delicious milk tea and Vietnamese banh mi, even though they don't call it that for some reason. My only complaint with the sandwich is that the veggies are mostly on one side and the meat is mostly on the other so it's hard to get a well distributed bite with all the ingredients. Super minor detail though. I'll be back soon for more!

We truly enjoyed the comforting classic pho soup, and the delightful fruit drink was such a refreshing treat. We can't wait to return for more! ☺️

I was in the area and was looking for some food to go. I walked by this spot and decided to get some pho. It was a cool and gloomy Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is small but it was packed with customers dining in and taking it. The staff were friendly and prices were reasonable. I ordered the chicken broth with grill chicken pho. The broth and veggies were in one container and the grill chicken was in another container. I was pleasantly surprised with the healthy portion of chicken. I combined my pho in my own bowl and feasted. That pho was delicious and very hearty. I was very satisfied with my meal and saved some leftover broth for soup for lunch the next day. This is a spot I will keep bookmarked to return for some more pho and other menu items.

I eat so much of their banh mi that I fear they're going to banh mi (ban me). Delicious stuff, excellent vegan options. I wish they had a way to get loyalty points for discounts or something!

Hanco's is always a great choice. The online ordering for takeout and pickup time is always quick and painless. I love the tofu rolls and the peanut butter sauce is something truly special. Definitely recommend especially for anyone looking for diverse vegetarian options.

I just love this place and have been coming here for years. It's one of those "how in the world have I not already reviewed this??" places. For me it's either the veggie chicken or tofu banh mi and a seltzer. No butter or mayo. If I'm feeling extra industrious, I'll take the sandwich home and add my own vegan mayo and butter, but I honestly don't ever miss it. Very solid vibes, cheap, and always consistent food. Love it!

I wanted to stop by a Vietnamese Restaurant in the area for some high quality Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I found Hanco's in Park Slope. I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee which was $6.26. It took a long time to make (around 5 minutes). Ultimately, it was pretty good. It definitely helped me get my coffee fix in, however, it is also definitely not the strongest Viet Iced Coffee I've had. I would suggest going to a more authentic Viet restaurant for their iced coffee for next time. But still solid for what I got, although a bit expensive. The ambiance is really nice and casual though!

Took a sandwich and mango boba to-go from here to eat in Prospect Park on a warm summer day and it was PERFECT! Everything was delicious, sandwich is loaded with meat and toppings and is extremely filling, and the mango boba was extremely refreshing. I also want to note that for a park blanket sandwich it works quite well as it was remarkably well put together and easy to eat without making a mess. Service was also extremely fast considering how busy they were when I went, and it has a nice ambiance but beware peak meal times because it will get quite crowded inside and might make sitting in the restaurant a bit overstimulating.

The new location is definitely cleaner and the bathroom clean. But the staff is still a bit "hard of hearing at times" and a bit cheap with condiments. The sandwiches are all right and their boba tea drinks aren't like astonishingly amazing!

I have been going to Hanco's for the past 10 years before they moved to there new location. I always thought they had the best sandwiches. I decided to stop by there new location on 7th avenue to order my standard vegetarian chicken sandwich which is now almost $13.00. I am sad to say I was very disappointed . The bread was stale, the sandwich was dry and just slapped together . Nothing like I remembered. What happened? going down hill.

Love this place! There's free wifi, decent amount of seating, a very wide variety of drinks and food, and it's a pretty quiet, lowkey place. Service is good. No complaints!

Food: so delicious:) i got the chicken banh mi. bread was toasted so well. chicken was tender and juicy and fresh. when i finished it i wanted another lol Service. very friendly staff. pretty much got the food fairly quickly. Ambience. nice plants. nice light music. like a coffee shop atmosphere

Really great spot for fast-casual Vietnamese. We shared a couple of banh mis (grilled pork & chicken), a grilled chicken vermicelli (bun), and the beef pho - all hit the spot if you're in the area and craving this particular cuisine. Noodles were a bit stuck together but all in all still good. Big fan of the fresh banh mi bread. Watermelon slushie (summer special?) was refreshing on a v hot day. Unfortunately they were hit by the sriracha shortage and don't offer any knock off substitutes. Gotta respect their loyalty.

Hanco's Bubble Tea & Vietnamese - I broke up with Hanco last year because they ran out of Tapioca (Boba). I couldn't believe it, how could a bubble tea store run out of bubbles?? But it wasn't their fault. There was a pandemic shortage - a crisis so bad it had a name-- "BOBAGEDDON" ! Supply chain issues suddenly became real. Disappointed, I bought my own tapioca pearls - and to make a long story short - I tried to DIY bubble tea at home... and what a disaster ! There are some things you should just leave to the professionals... Why I love Hanco's ? 1) Milk can be customized- whole, skim, oat, almond, soy or (if you can afford the calories) half and half. I love that you can choose the low fat milk - but they don't allow you to adjust the sugar level (at least not online/delivery). Wish they had the option to adjust both the milk and sugar levels. 2) Bubble Tea - mine was perfect tonight. Not too sweet, actually could have been sweeter. The boba - generous amount & great texture! 3) Menu options - Nice selection, consistently delicious/ good quality. Nicely packed, delivery was quick. Overall, excellent customer experience. Please add a "sugar free" option for the online menu options

Neighborhood spot, cute little cafe with pretty solid banh mi sandwiches and wide variety of drinks to match. Everyone seems to love to bubble tea but I opted for the Vietnamese coffee and it did not disappoint. Went with the grilled pork sandwich, the meat was cooked expertly and combined well with the cucumbers and carrots. Bread was decently crispy although the overall sandwich was on the smaller side. At $11 a sandwich, price performance is solid for Park Slope standards.

Came here to try their bahn mi. Classic bahn mi is pretty good. Portion wise, it seemed pretty big to me but that's subjective. It's not small that's for sure but for the price it seems to be. I personally wasn't able to finish the sandwich. With regards to drinks, absolutely don't get their taro bubble tea because it was atrociously powdery. I couldn't even drink it at all. The interior of the resto is bright, airy, and spacious. I enjoyed my dine in experience. What really ruined it for me was their bubble tea which is disappointing because many other reviewers enjoyed it. Maybe it was an off night, but if you're anything like me, and you dislike powdery tasting bubble tea, then pass up on it from here. Just go to brew memories for your boba needs. I would like to go back and try other foods like their pork bahn mi which friends have recommended to me, and their pho. Check them out for sure, they seem to be a local favorite and most likely for good reason! I personally will be returning to try other menu items.

The sandwich was not good and my kale juice was not fresh... I used to buy food here all the time and it was delicious... I will not be coming back This place really fell off..

Ordered Pho from here through DoorDash so my review is based on the food alone. For context, there was a period in time where I was eating pho 1-2x per week, so I'd like to believe I know a thing or two about quality Pho as a consumer. That being said, I definitely would not recommend this place. 1. the portion size was way smaller than expected, but I suppose that can be attributed to NY. 2. everything came packaged together (I.e the meats, onions, bean spouts, lime, etc). The only things separated were the jalapeños and broth. As someone who typically doesn't eat the bean sprouts, it was a bit frustrating to have to pick through the pile to avoid it. Additionally, since the rare beef wasn't packaged separately, it arrived already cooked by the heat of the other items and ended up being over cooked when I prepared to eat it. 3. The food was just not quality. There was barely any meats and the little that were there seemed like the reject pieces of someone else's meal. 4. Very minor details, but they didn't include chopsticks and even though I asked for extra jalapeños, I received even less than what I thought would normally be included. I ended up having to add my own peppers. 5. I also ordered their Thai Milk tea and it definitely did not taste like Thai milk tea. Overall, if you love Pho, this wouldn't cut it. Given that I ordered through DoorDash, not sure if the food might be different if I dined in the restaurant

I've had Hanco's as a regular during my college years a bunch in their Brooklyn heights location probably weekly at minimum. But after moving to Astoria, I find myself accustomed to a different vibe that barely goes into Brooklyn these days. I was lucky enough to have a cute picnic with a close friend of mine and we decided to grab some banh mi sandwiches to accompany our picnic. My jurisdiction is that it was delicious! It's definitely got better over the years and my only area of opportunity I could recommend is the portion size (but understand inflation and our economy in the current state). Besides that, it was super juicy, flavorful, saucy, & gave you a craving for more.

$27 for summer roll, rice vermicelli pork salad, and a jasmine green tea w boba. Def overpriced but I would HIGHLY suggest the summer rolls. One of the best I've ever had.

Really loved the bubble tea I got here! I went for the lychee tea w/ lychee jelly. It was flavorful and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. They also have sandwiches, salads, and other menu items that sounded great! Definitely worth a try.

Best shredded chicken bahn mi ever! Love the portion, veggies, and the ability to save half for lunch the next day.

Service here is great. Go to the counter to order your food/drinks and wait for your order to be called to pick up. Sometimes the workers bring your food/drink to you while you are sitting. I enjoy their pho. It's better than the other restaurants in the area. I've also tried their banh mi. It's okay. Still searching for the best banh mi in Park Slope. Hanco's has a nice interior design. Music is played and sometime can get a little noisy from other customers. It's a restaurant! Noise was never an issue for me. Come hungry as their pho portion is generous.

Came here after a recommendation and it did not disappoint. I am a huge fan of Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) and Hanco's one was pretty good. I ordered the classic and the grilled pork sandwiches to go. At $9.50 each, it is a bit on the pricy side for a banh mi. My first impression was the size, it was more on the smaller side compared to others. Besides the size, everything was good. The sandwiches were loaded with meat and veggies. My favorite was the grilled pork one. The slices of pork were extremely flavorful! The classic one, I felt like it needed more pate (if there was any). I like the taste pate gives the sandwiches and was really looking forward to it. Overall, great place for vietnamese food in the area and I will definitely come back for their grilled pork dishes!

The move to a new location a mere two doors down from their original Slope spot has done nothing to diminish the quality of Hanco's offerings--now you just have a newer, cleaner, more modern spot from which to enjoy their offerings (based on how crowded it always were, perhaps some people enjoyed the previous spot's ramshackle charm, but I'm happy they have this fresh new locale!) Menu provides diverse options, both in terms of soups, salads or noodle dishes as well as for carnivores and vegetarians. Their summer rolls are a particular favorite, you can go boiled to be healthier or fried--the boiled shrimp and veggie one delicately wrapped in rice vermicelli and served with a great peanut dipping sauce. Salads are large and rich with tasty pickled vegetables. Pho is solid as well, can be ordered in beef, chicken or vegetarian broth--I will admit that the vegetarian option was not my favorite. Finally, I would be remiss not to mention that, while bubble tea is personally not my bag, baby, my friends love this spot for its diverse flavored bubble tea options. So if this is something you enjoy, it is probably worth checking out for that alone--much less their fine, reasonably priced, authentically Vietnamese food options.

This place is amazing!! The bubble tea is to does for! They are cheap but good!!! they have many options for food and bubble tea. It is a very nice place and has lots of table that are good for working at. They have a nice menu. Amazing spot!!!

Delicious food, clean establishment with a comfy ambiance quick service, easy to order online I highly recommend

My absolutely favorite sandwich ever!! The vegetarian pork banh mi. This sandwich is something that I dream about !! They also have delicious summer rolls and bubble tea.

Fast service. Very lively, fit for all ages. Delicious food, we got the classic sandwich, beef noodles and peach bubble tea

I don't have a pic this time but Hanco's will always be a go to of mine when I'm in Brooklyn. Absolutely love their summer rolls and the shredded chicken banh mi medium spicy.

Very cute spot for quick viet cravings! Their menu has so many types of appetizer rolls, banh mi, salads, vermicelli, beef pho, rice dishes and boba/teas! I ordered takeout: Grilled Chicken Banh mi ($9.5) Lychee bubble tea ($4.5) The sandwich was so delicious, omg. It was just packed with amazingly tender chicken and veggies to help balance the heavy-ness from the meat. The bread was soft and fluffy. I was so worried it would be toasted to the point where it's hard and crunchy. But I wish they added pate in the bread, it would've been even more amazing! I requested the lychee bubble tea to be less sweet but I'm unsure if they actually followed that request since they don't have the option to pick your sugar level but the tea was still refreshing and it was a good size. The shop gave off such cute modern cafe vibes, I love it!! I do think this is more of an Americanized viet restaurant than an authentic mom and pop shop but the items were still delicious. I would still come back! Though, do be warned that there's only one option for pho. This is definitely more of grab and go easy lunch spot.

The grilled pork sandwich was phenomenal (and large)! The baguette that it came on was so soft and warm, yet crusty . I also tried the pho and contrary to a lot of these reviews, I did not find it to be very fatty. The Vietnamese coffee was also great, but definitely on the sweeter side. Overall, if you want fast casual but delicious Viet eats, don't miss this spot.... But be warned, there were multiple groups of unsupervised teenagers and children here for the bubble tea, resulting in a somewhat rowdy environment. Maybe take your food to go? Regardless, I will be back!

Food was gross, nothing was fresh. I came in for lunch today and I regret everything. It should have been a dead giveaway that all the accolade stickers on the front window are years old, referencing outdated Zagat reviews and dubious TripAdvisor commendations. Perhaps this restaurant was good once. Certainly not any more. Another bad omen: the menu is very Americanized. Instead of using Vietnamese terminology, the subheadings are in English. I ordered a bowl of beef pho ($10.50) and hoped for the best. The food was quickly prepared. I requested extra jalapeño and cilantro, which I received, despite some bad service. Unfortunately, the jalapeño slices were dried out, the cilantro wilted and brown. Not very appetizing. The pho itself was less than mediocre. I've never seen red onions in a bowl of pho before; didn't fit the flavor profile. The broth, while inoffensive, was weak. The beef combination--I detected brisket, tripe, and rare steak--was okay. The green onions were old and off-putting. It's sad when the best part of a bowl of pho is the bean sprouts. The restaurant was dirty and the service was bad. I would not recommend this establishment to anybody.

- Best Banh mi sandwich I've ever had (favorite is vegetarian chicken). Baguette is perfectly toasted, soft on the inside & crispy outside. - Best Bubble Tea I've ever had (favorite is Taro). Bubbles are just soft enough and sweet enough. The place is insane after school let's out, because, if you haven't heard, this dark, dank space is the newest hang out for the teen set. It's the cruising main st of my suburban upbringing, it's the mall, the ...you get the idea. So unless you love teenagers or are an anthropologist or a pedophile, stay away between 3-5 PM on weekdays. The back 1/2 of the place is usually very dark, good for hiding.

Very solid lovely neighborhood spot! Always reliable- quick, yummy bahn mi and pho. Get the spicy grilled pork banh mi!

This place is a last resort, for when there are literally no other restaurants and you're desperately craving Vietnamese food or a bubble tea. I had the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl. They give you a number and you have to pick up your food at the counter. You have to ask for water (served in a small paper cup) and bus your own tray, so why did I leave a tip? It's a red flag when an order comes out too quickly. I could tell that the food had been sitting around for a while: everything was dry, the chicken was full of gristle and cartilage (I was scared to bite into it), the lettuce was wilted, the meager cucumber slices were bitter. Perhaps if everything had been prepared fresh, it might have been a different story. This is no way to grow a fanbase. Service was disappointing, like the employees don't actually care about the customer at all. The table and seating area was also filthy, lots of bits of food, flies buzzing around. I came in with an open mind and left disappointed. I continue my search for a favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Park Slope.

The best spicy pork sandwich ever. Super tender, moist and jam packed with flavor. The crispy pickled slaw was so crunchy and fresh. Every bite was just so memorable. I shall return.

Unbelievably horrible customer service. Today they sent us an order that was incorrect - Shrimp Vermicelli WITHOUT the shrimp. When we called to ask them to send us a new one, they told us we were lying because they watched them make the salad and they put shrimp in it. They then told us they would check the cameras and get back to us later in the day, as they suspected the driver may have taken the shrimp. WHAT. I am honestly flummoxed at how insane this conversation was, and the fact that not only do we order from them all the time (and they mess up a lot, mind you), but that they truly believed we were making this up to what... get more shrimp? What is happening? 20 minutes later, they called back and said they would send a new salad if we returned the old one. Weirdest experience I've had with food delivery, ever?

So if you're sick of playing Planko And you help people but they don't Thank Yo (u) I have a solution Brave Brooklyn's pollution And get a great Banh Mi from Hanco! Hanco my dear, I don't give a damn. The one Vietnamese sandwich that I did stop to try in Vietnamese Town in the Park Slope area turned out to be wonderful. I think I chose wisely. The Viet iced coffee was not bad and I had it on my way back to Buffalo and it manage to keep me awake all the way until I reached my abode. The meat on this sandwich wasn't amazing but it also wasn't too bad. The usual chicken that takes a bit old, nothing to report about. However the bread was excellent and all the veggies were fresh and delicious, and it was nice and spicy from both some spread they put on there and the actual jalapenos improved it. They have a bathroom and they have a cute little area for eating with nice old wooden tables and it's quite large and the servers are super sweet and were really into me especially the part where they took my picture. So it's not the best Banh Mi I've had, but it's one of the top 10 in NYC for sure, and easily deserving of a 5 star rating. The best things in life are not free They cost roughly four fifty At least, this one does And you need it because It's a truly delicious Banh Mi

They're ok. Smells when you walk in and they're not the fastest but the food taste good

It is April, which makes you think that the weather is mild, but today was unusually cold. So then I made an excuse to get pho. I decided to try this place based on yelp search and ordered it by delivery. I heated the broth separately for the best taste before pouring it into the noodle. I think the noodles were little overcooked, but tasted fine overall. It had good quality meat and tendon inside though in my opinion. If you crave pho, this is a place that you can consider checking out!

Sat for about about ten minutes, nobody acknowledged us. Walked up to order and the waitress ordered us to sit down and we just walked out. Found a yummy spot close by and they were happy to have our business. Hanco seemed more concerned with the online orders.nobody seemed to be getting any help. It wasn't just us. They need new/more employees.

The food and milk teas here are super tasty! As a vegetarian, I was impressed that they had a few different options of Bahn mi without meat. I opted for the tofu and vegetarian chicken Bahn mi, but next time I will have to get the vegetarian pork one. Both were quite big and tasted amazing but they were a little on the pricey side. The boba was delicious and I would love to try another flavor of that as well. Overall, it definitely did not disappoint and was exactly what I wanted.

Overall, I like Hanco's. There are 3 in Brooklyn (7th Avenue, Montague Street and Smith Street) with my favorite being Smith Street, the newest and cleanest of them all. I like their teas, summer rolls and noodle dishes. I've been to the one in Park slope a couple times--in fact, just this evening. I ordered the Rice Vermicelli with Shredded Chicken (white meat) instead of the grilled chicken (dark meat) to go. I have a couple problems with this specific location: a distinct and unflattering odor as soon as you walk in, sloppy appearance/garbage in sight and long wait time. I'm glad I took my order to go. The meal, only $10.07, was filling /generous portion and delicious. I was satisfied.

I have been coming here since I was a kid at their first location on Bergen St. c. 2005 (which later relocated to Smith and Montague) which I think was the place that started the Vietnamese sandwich trend. Hanco's is probably my favorite place to eat in NYC, hands down and has always been a treat. The quality over the years has been consistently great! I have had their sandwiches, spring rolls, teas and a few times the vermicelli bowls. Of all the menu items, I really like the sandwiches. I don't eat meat and the tofu and vegetarian chicken options are really good. I mostly go to this location because I am in the area often but the one on Smith is good too!!

Ordered a large iced Vietnamese coffee. It was mostly ice when I finished the coffee rather quickly. They used to be decent years ago. Not anymore. Wasted almost $5 on a cup of ice.

Very reliable, solid place for casual Vietnamese food. Reasonable prices and good quality food. Sandwiches, soup, and vermicelli salads, and bubble tea are all things I get here and enjoy regularly. Only complaint is sometimes the bubbles are dry.

I have a friend who loves this place, but I just can't see it. On a whim I decided to get a watermelon juice on a hot day, but got something lukewarm and pulpy. Maybe the freezer was on the fritz? Ice seems like a bare minimum, if you're not going the route of pre-cooling your drinks... Their food is the main attraction, but don't expect decent service. The staff seem inattentive, on several occasions I've put in a food order to stay only to get it in a to-go bag anyway. Hey, I'm sure it's nothing personal! Overall a sub-par experience, but a fine spot if you're in a pinch for quick food that's passable.

Obviously I've been here so many times I must love it so much. Yes I do love their food. They're awesome. I'm giving three stars for cleanliness and lack of ventilation. The bathroom is full of disgusting graffiti I'm wondering how the owners could tolerate such?? The tables and overall area are rickety and old. I mean can you please make the seating area pleasant? As for ventilation, it gets so smoky it's hard to breathe sometimes. When we get out, the smell of food clings to every pore of our skin and clothes. Yuck! I hope management will address this mess.

Checked in for a quick lunch in Park Slope on a Tuesday afternoon. I noticed that many people stop in for their bubble teas and sandwiches, not so much for their pho noodles. They provide wifi at the counter where you make your payment so that's a plus for those who wish to stop in to get some work done while enjoying a meal. I ordered the classic bahn mi sandwich. They had the usual ingredients of meat, veggies, etc. Overall it was a pretty solid meal. A little pricey, especially compared to another restaurant I usually visit in Chinatown. But, it was a filing meal nonetheless and I'll be returning to try their bubble teas.

I love me some Hancos. When it's hot, I want a bubble tea... taro, with milk. And a Vietnamese sandwich. When it's cold out, all I want is their pho, with extra cilantro and lime. Those are my go-to's when I'm in the mood for Vietnamese food on the go. I've had other dishes and they're also good - their vermicelli is super tasty. There are a couple of locations in Brooklyn - this one in particular has a decent amount of seating and there are a couple of window seats if you're lucky enough to snag one of them. So yes, if you're looking for a quick, solid, on the go meal, I'd highly recommend Hancos... and this location in particular. The staff is quick at placing your order and the location is a short distance from the F and G trains.
