    Crepes
    Joe B.

    So glad the dinning room is open again. Wish this place seemed to be busier, maybe they do most stuff takeout. The few times we have been here pre and post covid the dinning room was never very busy but the food has always been excellent. The crepes make a great appetizer and not really a meal in my opinion, or a meal if you want a light dinner. Over the years I have tried that dish, the broken rice, noodle bowl and several of the soups and I can say they are all worth it. We have never had anything we did not like here. Now they even sell farm fresh eggs for $5 a dozen (as of Nov 2025)

    I absolutely love Vietnamese food. I enjoy learning about the subtle differences between regional dishes, and often find restauranteurs in Portland are open to sharing knowledge of their cuisine me. I was recently excited to learn that in relation to pho, soup from the north features a more refined, clear broth with minimal toppings. And soup from the south has a richer, sweeter broth with a wider variety of herbs and garnishes. The history of the dish is really fascinating, and most definitely warrants additional study. I've learned that pho originated in northern Vietnam, in Hanoi. And as families fled northern Vietnam in the 1950s, regional variations of the dish emerged based on availability of local ingredients and tastes. Armed with this knowledge, when I discovered Hanoi Kitchen is one of the few restaurants to feature Northern Vietnamese dishes in Portland, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Hanoi Kitchen has the appearance of being a family restaurant. It's a large, open space with lots of plants and the most gorgeous wood floors I've ever seen. It's a beautiful space filled with art, and has plenty of seating for lots and lots of people. A friendly woman named Kim runs the place, taking orders, making the food, and cleaning up! Her dedication to this restaurant and the community is impressive. And it's clear she's made an impact on the customers she serves. The wall behind the counter is plastered with postcards, letters, wedding invitations and funeral announcements from the friends and family she's served over the years. I love this sense of community as it show's Kim's heart is in both her work and the food she serves. Hanoi Kitchen claims they don't use MSG in the food they prepare, and all of the ingredients appear to be fresh and healthy - in fact, Kim even brings eggs to the restaurant from her own chickens! You can buy organic farm eggs for $5 a dozen! Everything about this restaurant indicates familial, homestyle cooking which is something I strive for these days. I love supporting restaurants and businesses who are invested in the communities they serve.

    Some of the best Vietnamese food we've eaten in this town known for its long list of truly good Vietnamese restaurants. Nothing fancy about Hanoi Kitchen's location or its street signage, though the restaurant's interior is clean, spacious and inviting. The tall plants lining the windows let you know this place has been around for a long time. Best is the quality of Hanoi Kitchen's offerings. We are particularly impressed by the freshness of the greens and herbs in the pho garnish plates, as well as the soups themselves. Excellent mi quang, with perfectly cooked noodles, shrimp, ribs, and pork belly in a luscious broth. We are also fond of the bun thit nuong (vermicelli bowl with grilled pork), which my partner says is the best in town. Another favorite: the carmelized fish sauce chicken wings appetizer. Generous and tasty. Delightful service. Overall a lovely spot for a meal. A go-to place for Vietnamese food.

    Pho Hanoi! Omg!

    Another amazing visit. Always great and the broth today was extra epic! Ladies are so wonderful and they even have farm fresh eggs available for $5 a dozen!

    I've never been into a Vietnamese restaurant where I felt like the entire menu hit the spot on home cooked meals I grew up loving. That was, until I went to Hanoi Kitchen. This had been on our to try list for sometime and we finally made it in. If you're looking for a true home cooked meal: I would order the home style meal. I chose the cá kho tộ and canh chua (braised fish and tamarind soup) and I was just so happy to feel like I was eating at home. The fish gets a little salty due to the nature of the caramelization and braise, but it was well balanced with the sour and spicy soup and white rice. The Banh Cuon is delicious too. We have had a few other items shared between our family and every item was well flavored and hit the spot. It's quiet most times we're here and the family who runs it is really nice. Definitely one of the Top Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. I normally prefer to cook at home but if I'm not and want Vietnamese food, I'll be here.

    Nudos ;)

    The pho was ok, not piping hot for a cold rainy day in Portland. The wait time for your lunch was longer than expected from an empty restaurant. With an empty house, it was easy to casually walk around the restaurant to view custom still art on the wall for sale by one of their customers. Supposedly they are from a local surgeon who paints as a hobby. The prices were surgeon priced. Nice garden display in front of the window.

    Not even 1/2 full! 3 small rolls for $12.50.
    Jessica S.

    So sad to see them fall so far! Prior to covid Hanoi was my families favorite Banh Cuon location. We went by tonight and was absolutely appalled at the quality and service. For $12.50, I received 3 tiny rolls that weren't even 1/2 filled and the veggies were beyond wilted. I called the restaurant thinking this was a one off and the gentleman who answered the phone said, "that's what you get!" And hung up on me. I called back thinking we got disconnected and a lady answered and started yelling. So sad to see them fall so far

    I would preface this saying the food is a solid 4 but the service is closer to a 3-3.5 for the wait times. But note when ordering at this restaurant he's only a one man show working all of the orders so just be patient with your order! If you do order I would say to order at least 1 hour of when you're ready to pick up. The staff was friendly and let us know we could chill inside if we wanted to as we were pending one last item of if we just wanted to come back. We opted to stay and he offered to turn on the TV if we wanted. ___________________ | WHAT WE ORDERED | + Crispy Pork Egg Rolls + Thai Tea + C1- PHỞ HÀNỘI (Hanoi Kitchen specialty beef noodle soup with brisket, rare steak, meatball and tripe) + F1 CM HÀ NỘI ĐẶC BIỆT (Broken rice with charbroiled lemon grass pork chop, shredded pork skin, minced pork, shrimp and fried egg) ___________________ The egg rolls were solid. They were on the smaller side of what i'm used to seeing but the filling was tasty. They place it on a bed of cabbage and a side of fish sauce. Meat was on the smaller portion side of the scale and meatballs were alright, but the broth definitely made up for it! The pho broth was flavorful and fragrant. I liked seeing a thicker type of rice noodle which was new and worked out well to absorb the broth. It paired well with the chunks of meat in the pho. The broken rice was a great dish to get as well since I don't see it at many restaurants. It comes with a large sized pork chop that had nice flavoring although a tad dry. The rest of the items were cooked well and the fried egg OMG cooked to perfection. Plenty of crispy edges while still maintaining a runny yolk over the rice. To help wash the meal down we got thai teas and they had a greater milk ratio to the tea but it worked out well. ___________________ Reading the yelp reviews before coming we were torn but glad we checked it out. Overall, I would say the food made up for the service and wait times. I'm not Vietnamese so i'm probably not the greatest judge but the items we got filled us up but don't expect too much of customer service. Not the worst thing in the world if you're prepared and order early in advance.

We liked the small plate dishes, but the entree ones were disappointing. The chickens were chunky and dry, bland flavor. As much as we loved the vibe of the place, we didn't enjoy the food as much. The staff members were very joyful and friendly. They were explaining the process to every guest and keeping everyone informed on waiting time. During dining, they were also available to help.

The fries and wings were flavorful appetizers and a great way to start the meal. Service was great overall, but a bit hands-off after the food was served. I don't remember anyone checking back in on us. Nothing was wrong with the food, but it would've been nice to have that quick follow-up. Would definitely come back, especially to check out their brunch next time.

    Downtown Portland's hidden gem for authentic Vietnamese!…read more I was walking around downtown Portland and stumbled upon Cuốn Vietnamese Street Food, and honestly, it was the best meal of my week . If you are looking for fresh, flavorful, and satisfying comfort food, do not walk--run to this spot. To get the full experience, we ordered a variety, and every single item was a hit. We started with the Beef Pho, and the broth was the absolute star. It was rich, aromatic, and deeply savory, clearly simmered for hours. It was the perfect dish on a sunny Portland day. We also grabbed a Chicken Banh Mi. The bread had that perfect crispy crust with a soft, airy crumb, and the chicken was grilled to perfection with fresh veggies and herbs. Of course, we had to wash it all down with a creamy, sweet Thai Tea--it was delicious and the perfect end to the meal. Beyond the food, the vibe is great. It's a super clean, casual spot with big windows letting in lots of natural light. It's set up for quick counter service, which makes it perfect for a fast lunch downtown, but the staff is so friendly and welcoming that you feel right at home. It's a family-run business, and you can taste the passion in the food. Highlights: · The Pho Broth: Seriously some of the best in the city. · The Banh Mi: Fresh bread, great fillings. · The Service: Fast, efficient, and incredibly kind. Pro Tip: Don't forget to grab your own utensils and sauces (the chili crisp is a must for the pho), and help yourself to the free self-serve hot tea. It's the little touches like that which make this place a winner. I am already planning my next trip back to try the Crispy Pork Belly. Highly recommend

    Positives: fresh, well made, very flavorful proteins. Cons:…read morePrice I tried Cuon for the first time and enjoyed it. I went for a Vermicelli bowl where you get to pick 2 proteins. I selected Pork Belly (their specialty) and lemongrass chicken. The bowl itself is standard Vietnamese fare, nothing special, creative or exciting in that sense. That said, the ingredients tasted fresh and the proteins were very well seasoned and cooked. The pork belly skin had an awesome crunch and you can clearly taste the lemongrass in the chicken. The included spring roll had nice crunch but little flavor. Unfortunately, outside of Pho, Banh Mi and Noodle Bowls, there's sadly not much else to the menu. No Vietnamese salads, stir frys, etc. Either way, what they do make, they seem to make quite well. So, on to my main issue ie, that for a place thats only open for lunch, the prices are a bit too high. I noted about $16 for a Banh Mi sandwich, no sides. Pho was around $20 and my noodle bowl was about $20 as well. Weirdly, its about the same prices as eating lunch back home in Miami, a FAR more expensive city in general. In fact, I've often had more exciting Vietnamese in Manhattan for lower prices. So while its easy to recommend Cuon on quality, its not a top recommendation for lunch value in the PDX which is why Im docking 1 star.
