Hanco's

I'm so torn about this review! If you asked me 2 months ago I would've given this 4 stars, but the inconsistency in food quality brings it down to a 3 for me. Growing up in San Jose, CA, I was spoiled with so many Vietnamese food options. Entire restaurants were dedicated to banh mi, pho, and other categories of Vietnamese cuisine! When I moved to the area, I was excited to have a local spot to get my bun/pho fix, but I have to admit I was surprised to see bubble tea on the menu, and only one (or is it two?) option for pho. Fast forward 6 months and I finally give this place a shot, their rice vermicelli with grilled pork was surprisingly delicious! I love that it came with fresh veggies, green onion oil, and nicely packed fish sauce. Most importantly, the char on the pork was perfect! Since then, I've ordered from here a few more times and I'd definitely recommend the rice vermicelli over the rice plate. I was getting ready to add this to my rotation of takeout regulars, but the most recent visit was a big disappointment. My husband ordered a chicken dish, and while I know it can be a taste preference for some, the meat had a lot of cartilage which he doesn't enjoy and it was never there in the past. My pork was unusually fatty and there were entire pieces that had no "meat". The cucumber slices also weren't fresh, they were dry and on the verge of looking dehydrated. Long story short - good food but it's a hit or miss. Bubble tea is decent for this block but there are EXCELLENT options a few blocks away in Downtown Brooklyn. Avoid after school because all the kids are here!

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!

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.

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.

Banh Mi is delicious!!!! Walked in around 5 PM on a Monday, and they were quick to help me to my order. I ordered a Grilled Pork Banh Mi with medium spicy, and sat in the AC'd store while they prepared my food. Got my hot bag, then went on my way towards Prospect Park. Due to unforeseen events, I ate my Banh Mi about 2 hours later, while it was still warm enough, this banh mi was still absolutely delicious. The sandwich has a slight kick (pretty strong for medium), but it was definitely not overwhelming. Pickled veggies are fresh, crispy, and not overpowering either. The meat was delicious!!! Grilled perfectly, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Bun is also delicious.I don't know what to say, didn't try their pho or boba, but their banh mi is worth a visit, and a return visit. I was super happy that this place didn't opt for the usual mayo bland dressing that most Viet places use, but they kept their sandwich juicy yet not heavy. Great food.

Hanco's bubble tea is some of the best in Brooklyn. The service is always fast and the employees are lovely. I have never eaten food from Hanco's so I can't attest to the quality of the food. However, I love the vibe. It's kind of a whole in the wall, and the establishment is dated. This doesn't stop me from loving the drinks. Love the coconut bubble tea, brown sugar milk boba, and some really fun other flavors.

Competent but disappointing. If you're in the area and are looking for Vietnamese food, try Bahnmigos or Diem Eatery instead.

Really yummy bubble tea and nice service. A bunch of kids out of school during the time I came here, it's a nice wholesome vibe. Didn't try the food but it looked DELICIOUS

Great food! love the sandwiches. always happy with everything. I will be coming back for another bahn mi!

My issue here with this place is the food safety. Stomach got really sick after eating a sandwich from here. I mean really sick...
