    Chicken  Broth Pho
    Madeleine B.

    This is a laid back casual cafe with typical Vietnamese options. I needed a quick bite and got the grilled chicken pho. It was good but nothing outstanding. The broth was a little bland. But the chicken was pretty tender. They have a lunch special from 12-3pm, which I had just missed. Pricing is decent but overall I think this area of Brooklyn is lacking in good Vietnamese options.

    Hanco's serves Vietnamese cuisine, such as Pho, Banh Mi, and bubble tea, fast-food style. On a cold Sunday afternoon, my partner and I decided to have something warm and soupy for lunch. Luckily, Hanco's in Smith Street is just a stone's throw away from where we live. The restaurant is simple with a few tables for walk-in diners, but we did realize that this place relies mostly upon takeaways and deliveries. For lunch, I had the pho, a noodle soup with beef broth and grilled pork, served with sprouts and mint. I found the dish very filling with large portions. It was a hearty lunch and ideal for cold weather days. We will come back here for more!

    Beef Broth Pho with Grilled Pork.

    After every trip, I always come home craving some good ol' pho to warm my tummy. Unfortunately, there aren't many Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Hanco's is the closest location to me that was still open, so I came to give it a try on a Monday night an hour before closing. I got the Beef Pho ($14) and Summer Rolls ($7.75). Even though we were dining in, everything was served in to-go containers. The pho is a pretty small bowl, but the flavor is solid and veggies were fresh. I also had to ask for sriracha on the side to add into my soup. The summer rolls were decent; good if you're looking for something healthy. Overall, it gets the job done to curb my cravings, but so pricey from what I'm used to for Vietnamese food.

    $14 for boiled water tofu and vegetables.

    REVIEW FOR VEGETARIAN PHO ONLY: I beg of you not to come here for vegetarian pho........for a whopping $14 dollars u might as well just boil some water at home and throw in rice noodles, tofu and broccoli. Everything is bland, from the broth (you will fare better with store bought veggie stock), to the tofu. On top of that they didn't have sriracha....what kind of self respecting Vietnamese establishment does not have sriracha!? Maybe it's the west coaster in me that feels extremely offended this is what they're passing as "pho."

    I grew up eating Banh mi and this was pretty on par. Very flavorful, great pickled veggies. The meat was tender. I'd get it again if I were ever in the area

    I got the classic banh mi with classic milk tea w boba. i expected the baguette to be longer but it was good. the staff was friendly and the interior was very homey.

    Rice Vermicelli "Salad" with Pork - my fav
    Katey G.

    Hanco's is open!! Just got delivery during the Coronavirus shutdowns. Hanco's has been a trusty delivery option for a while, and I was super excited to see that they opened their doors again. My favorite this is their vermicelli noodle salad with pork. It's light and delicious, but not really a "salad." If you're into almond flavor, their almond boba is delicious - but I've only allowed myself to order it once. Their banh mis are good too, but they won't be the best you've ever had. Pho is tasty! You really can't go wrong.

    Grilled Pork Rice
    Rachel W.

    Simple Viet food in the area with fast service. The pork was tasty and tender, bubble tea was not too sweet and the pearls were chewy and not over cooked. There isn't too much competition besides their other location in Brooklyn heights but it always seems to have customers inside so they must be doing something right.

    Vegetarian Broth Pho
    Barbara C.

    They do have vegetarian/vegan broth for pho, and you have the option of adding tofu or vegetables. The flavors were just "ok," though. I have had vegan pho at other places and the broth at those other places were far more robust and flavorful. Here at Hanco's, the broth just tasted like salty water, only mildly improved by adding basil. The tofu was also super bland, but at least there was a good-sized portion of tofu, so I definitely didn't leave hungry. The soup also didn't have a lot in the way of vegetables - just a little bit of green onion and what equated to probably a handful of broccoli florets. Service was good, though - the lady taking my order didn't understand what "vegan" meant (language barrier) when I asked about the broth, but she was able to tell me that there was no fish sauce or any other animal products in the vegetarian broth. My soup was ready fairly quickly. So, I guess I would come back if I was in a pinch, but I'm going to look for better vegetarian/vegan pho elsewhere.

    Came on Thursday night, 10/24 minutes before closing (SORRY T.T!!!) We just came from a movie screening at the local Regal/UA theatre and wanted something quick to eat before heading home. It was clean and quick. The service was friendly and quick. We knew what we wanted; ordered to go. I felt bad for coming in before they were closing, so they were cleaning up around us (there was a table about to leave, so we weren't the only ones holding them up). We got 2 banh mi (#1 Classic & #3 Grilled Pork) and left to take the F train home. We ate the sandwiches on the train ride. The sandwiches were nicely toasted and delish! Hubby got the Classic but wasn't a fan of the ground pork. Usually, the #1 classic banh mi has pork, ham, or other slices of meat, pate, and the cucumbers, cilantro, and pickled carrots/daikons. This one has ground pork and vietnamese ham with the rest. It was yummy! I liked my grilled pork has it has more flavor than most grill pork banh mi. I would come back if I'm in the area again.

The service was okay - it was obvious the server was brand new/still in training so I'm sure he'll get better and congrats to him on the new job! Btw, in case you were wondering this place is NOT Vietnamese-owned, or at least the server + the host + some workers in the back were not, or perhaps they're trilingual. In any case, I was a little sad about that because there really is a lack of good Viet food in NY so although other ethnicities are more than welcome to own places not of their own ethnicities, I was just hoping to find more Viet-owned Viet food businesses. That being said, I got pho bo vien (which I suppose now I know why there's no Vietnamese text on the menu... so this is the viet meatball pho??) and it was okay. Nothing bad, nothing special, probably a bit too pricey for what you get. I was hoping for some comfort food since this location is nearby. The broth was overall fine after adding some hoisin sauce and Sriracha. Unsure if I'll come again... the convenient location for me is probably the main selling point

The aunties are mentioned often in other reviews, and that's because they're amazing. They'll gladly explain what you need, especially when it comes to the super tasty (and extremely inexpensive) deserts that populate racks and the drink fridges here. Some are sweet, some are sour (the deserts, that is), they'll let you know. Honesty since a cake here is $5, you can afford to try everything! How on to the main reason that you came, the Banh Mi. You literally can't go wrong with any of the eight main sandwiches here. I've tried them all so you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.
