"The first restaurant from the team behind Tokyo Tina, Hanoi Hannah is a more informal, hawker style eatery. Inspired by the restaurants scattered along Victoria street, it is the perfect cheap and cheerful option for small groups, south of the river. The point of difference here is the food is focused on just one Asian cuisine, traditional Vietnamese street food. Open 7 days and catering to take-away, there’s no reason to miss the Hanoi style pork belly wraps. If you are running short on time, swing past the ‘express lane’, two doors down." - Self-Titled

Simply the best Pho in Melbourne. Working on the edge of Chinatown there are a number of options. But l want the best, not the rest. So l get my lunch from HH. Amazing staff and super quick service.

When making dinner plans and craving good hawker-style dishes, this is a great place. Built for takeaway and speed, Express Lane still has a couple of tables to sit in and enjoy what is consistently good Vietnamese food not far removed from their old original location.
Although it's taken me some time to post, I was a massive fan of their $25 soup series back in August when they did four soups in four weeks to support Scarf (a social enterprise using hospitality to transform lives), I post this now in the hope that they do something similar to this again soon!
Not a place usually housing a special, the Spicy Chicken & Prawn Wonton Noodle Soup hit all the right notes in terms of flavour and I look back and crave this hot bowl of delicious dumps and noods even now. Having dined at both Hanoi Hannah Vol II and here, this is probably one of my favourite dishes I've had.
I also like that you can pimp their pho but get concerned re. value for money when their dishes will already set you back $22-$24 before the card and weekend surcharges.
I feel that to truly be an express version of their staple restaurant with the cheap and fun atmosphere it seems to want to be, there should be leniencies in price and/or size ranges. It's only now I realise how good a deal the $25 soup series was!!
If sending noods ain't so much your thing, the rice dishes are hearty and the Lemongrass Chicken Curry was creamy and a great alternative.

What a nice treat to a day. Have done take out for the 2nd time and still never disappoints.
Friendly service. Had the Stair fried veggies before and it was good. Also tried the grilled pork with vermicelli noodle and it was just amazing.
Can’t wait to try other dishes.

Food is delicious and a bit more unusual than the normal Vietnamese restaurants! And that's where it stops. Service wise they only provide the option to pay by card but have processing fees (I know this is charged by the payment processor but if you don't provide an alternative payment option it should not be passed to the customer plus you need a bigger sign saying that you only take eftpos/credit card). Also while happy to pay, the Sunday sur charges were all confusing - things were different for takeout and eat in etc. So needs a bit more communication on those and then a 5 star place. Staff were good, it is not their fault 😊👍
We don't come to restaurants to feel like zombies ordering using a QR code, we would have ordered from the couch if that was the case - FYI

Hanoi Hannah is a very friendly lady and she will serve you up some delicious Vietnamese food. I would like to try the pho next time as it looked really good. Ideally I would like to give this 4.5 stars, because it was very good and I would definitely recommend it.

Dropped in for lunch yesterday. Can't fault anything. It was a great experience. The chicken Slaw was top notch.
