    Sườn Ram Chua combo $18
    Nikky B.

    Hanoi Kitchen Is A Comfort Food That Feels Like Home! As of 7/21/2025, NEW BUSINESS HOURS POSTED ON THEIR FRONT DOOR Friday to Monday: 10am-3pm, Reopen 5pm-8pm Closed: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (Per their website, these new hours started March 2025) This summer's obsession of mine with Bánh Cuốn continuing back to Portland after a weekend of indulgence in Westminster and Garden Grove, CA. That led me to finally try Hanoi Kitchen, even though I've driven past it for the last four years. I called ahead early Friday afternoon (7/21/2025) and asked them to save me one order of Bánh Cuốn. They confirmed it's made in the morning and reheated per order, but assured me it would still taste fresh and not turn chewy. They were right. What we ordered (Party of 3): -1 Bánh Cuốn - $14 -Combo A: Cá Bông Lau Kho Tộ & Canh Chua Tôm - $18 -Combo B: Sườn Ram Me & Canh Khoai Tây - $18 -1 Vietnamese Iced Coffee (Cà Phê Sữa Đá) - $7 -1 Dozen Organic Eggs (boxed & refrigerated) - $6 Total: $64 Food quality: -Bánh Cuốn: Soft and tender as promised. The chả lụa (Vietnamese pork roll) was a bit softer than I prefer, and the fish sauce was decent but didn't stand out. Still, it hit the spot though I had better. -Combo A: The catfish came with one skinless and filleted instead of the usual bone-in round cuts, so the depth of flavor was slightly lacking. The canh chua tôm (hot & sour prawn soup) was light (lạt), missing the tangy punch I hoped for. Celery was used in place of bạc hà (Vietnamese taro stem), which I understood, but missed. -Combo B: Sườn ram me (tamarind pork) was a solid comfort dish. The accompanying canh khoai tây (potato soup) had good intention but used lean pork chunks; I'd prefer bones or short ribs for better texture and broth depth. -Cà phê sữa đá: Slow-drip style, just like home, but could've used a stronger brew and a better condensed milk-to-coffee ratio. Still appreciated the authenticity. -Organic Eggs: Easy grab-and-go, already boxed and chilled. Great price at $6/dozen. Ambiance: A true mom-and-pop/small family owned feel. While waiting, we heard our meal being made fresh in the kitchen, like being in someone's home. There was one dine-in guest as we arrived, and two takeout orders came through while we waited. Plenty of free street parking on NE Glisan, plus their own lot in back. The décor is dated, inside and out. It's a slightly rougher neighborhood, so I get why the hours are limited. Restroom note: Ladies' room had no toilet seat covers, so I took one from the gentlemen's side since we were the only ones there. Cleanliness-wise, it was fine. Overall: This was honest, humble Vietnamese home cooking, just the way you'd expect from a family kitchen. Nothing fancy, but comforting, familiar, and homeyness. It satisfied our cravings for exactly what we ordered, and we'll absolutely be back for a repeat when the mood strikes.

    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)

    Bun Bo Hue
    Quyet T.

    During quick trip to Portland, I had to get me my fix of Vietnamese food at Hanoi Kitchen. The bun bo hue and banh cuon were excellent. Bun Bo Hue had a rich deep flavorful broth with pork blood and pork legs. The banh cuon was soft and delicious with fresh cha lua. Service was friendly and top notch,

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 will start off by saying the staff that was working and was looking for my food could not have been more obstinate and standoffish. I really did not enjoy the interaction with him at all. I will say that we ordered the basil fried rice which was fabulous. I added chicken. It was not chewy and weird like most places. Lots of seasoning. Definitely would get that again hands-down. My wife got the fried rice that had the peanut sauce. It was just middle of the road for me. And she got eggrolls and said they were great. I think we have ordered from here a few times in the past for delivery. And I would return. Price point is just like anything else nowadays.

    Driving through a quiet residential neighborhood, I never expected to find a restaurant like this…read more Even the location felt special. As you walk in, you're greeted by a market and an oyster bar. Then, through another entrance, you discover the dining room. It's such a fun and unique layout. They offer a tasting menu, but since we were planning to stop somewhere else afterward, we ordered à la carte. We started with the oysters, and they were incredible. The strawberry sherry jelly on top elevated the fresh oysters beautifully, adding just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. Next came the chickpea socca and the tomato salad. Together, they were absolute perfection. The tomato salad was one of the best I've had. Dressed with a tomato-water dashi vinaigrette, it was bright, refreshing, and full of umami at the same time. Light, yet surprisingly deep in flavor. Our favorite dish of the night was the Summer Pasta. The lemon butter sauce, tender summer squash, and bursts of fresh tomato created the perfect balance. Every bite tasted like summer. For our final dish, we had the halibut with artichokes, couscous, and grilled kombu. It was beautifully cooked and everything paired well together. It was delicious, although the earlier dishes had set such a high bar that this one felt a little more familiar. The service was warm, the atmosphere was relaxed, the beer selection was excellent, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared. It was one of those dinners where everything simply came together. I would happily come back the next time I'm in Portland.

What a find! The food was Pacific Northwest dining using local ingredients and making them shine. We had 3 starters, which allowed us to try different things. The oysters with gelee and the carrot salad (which they split for us) were standouts. My pasta entree was fabulous, with crunchy texture from crispy sun chokes (genius). The dessert tasted homey though also unique. Service from beginning to end was friendly, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Wine pairing recommendations were on point. If I lived in Portland, this would be on regular rotation. Highly recommend.
