I absolutely love Vietnamese food and was thrilled when a friend suggested this place. The item I ordered however was completely inedible. I have a food allergy, so the item needed to be adjusted slightly (one less ingredient). Normally, I would just make a mental note to not revisit or order that particular item, but I had to speak up. Since I was seated outdoors, I went inside and spoke with the staff at the cash wrap. I kindly explained the situation to which one of the workers replied, 'well you still have to pay for it', 'if you get another one, you have to pay for it', and 'no one has ever complained before'. Y'all, I was stunned at the lack of basic customer service. In shock, I returned to my table with my item completely untouched with the exception of the first try. Just as my party finished their meal, I went back inside and calmly explained to them how completely rude their response was. The item was $5. They reacted as if I finished a three course meal and demanded my money back. I just wanted a replacement. When the waiter came with our check, she apologized. I glanced down at the check and saw that they still charged me for the item. Disgusting staff, disgusting food. read more

Ordered the grilled pork banh mi and it was delicious! Definitely filled the banh mi craving and the meat is juicy and well marinated/seasoned. read more

My favorite banh mi place; love their vegatarian pork banh mi. I willing to travel from Yonkers to them read more

Have come here for years. It's so nice to have Vietnamese food in this neighborhood. My favorites are the beef pho, Vietnamese pork sandwich, summer rolls, and of course the boba drinks. I've enjoyed both dining in, and takeout. They've also had terrific contactless ordering during the pandemic. I always suggest this place to people. read more

Happy to report that after ordering countless times from Hanco's, we received another amazing meal. Flavor & consistency are kings in the food industry; and this place has both. Definitely recommend the shredded chicken sandwich, my go-to! The bubble teas are tasty also :-) Thanks yet again! read more

When I visit Park Slope, I come here for lunch. It's usually crowded but I have always been able to get a seat. I have the summer rolls and of course the bubble tea. The Vietnamese pork sandwich is out of this world! The summer rolls come with a peanut sauce that is creamy and not too sweet. The service is fast and the food is delicious. read more

Hancos is my favorite place for Vietnamese sandwiches in this area. The classic sandwich is the best, delicious and on point!!

Delicious food and quick delivery during non-peak hours. TWO STARS for delivery method: Delivery man accidentally knocked on my neighbors door. When my neighbors told him he had the "wrong apartment" the delivery man simply left the building! Even though my door is very clearly marked, and even though the delivery instructions said to call my cel, and even though the receipt has my number written on it, the man rode away on his bicycle. The only reason I caught him is because I over heard him knocking on the apartment door downstairs. I ran out to catch him in time. It's kind of funny, and I want to empathize with the delivery guy, but come on, dude. read more

The Bahn Mi varies depending on the day. Bread is hit or miss. Never a consistent experience at this location. The service is quick and they do seem organized however. With respect to customer service, the cashier in particular (young brunette), is incredibly rude. I've witnessed her strong body language on several occasions with customers, myself included. And don't DARE ask for an extra hot sauce. Literally rolls her eyes. I've stopped coming in because of this employee. Her attitude needs to go before this establishment loses anymore business. I see there are several others here that have also experienced her unnecessary wrath. Date visited: Friday 5/3/19 @ 2:45pm read more

Good Vietnamese sandwiches and bubble teas for reasonable prices! My personal favorite is the pork but the tofu is also great. Also, Henry's, another Vietnamese sandwich place totally ripped off Hanco's menu, so pick Hanco's over Henrys. Lastly, they have rice vermicelli and other Vietnamese specialties on the menu. Overall a very good place to eat lunch especially! read more

This place has the best bubble tea! My girlfriend and I frequent here. We really like it

Three stars for beef pho and shrimp summer roll. Pho was not overly salty. Slices of beef were just right. Taking one star off because as I approached the bathroom there was a sign that read out of service. I felt like this was their way of not letting their patrons use the restroom. Maybe I might have to take a return trip to sum up my investigation. LOL I really like to wash my hands before I eat so I was a little thrown when I couldn't. The place didn't feel as clean as it should have. Don't think I will return for the food but might have to just to confirm my hunch. read more

Ugh, ordered a bowl of pho on a cold night hoping to warm up my belly and my soul. I've been coming in at least once a month for the past few years to eat a bahn mi or pho. This time the meat was kinda nasty looking in my bowl of pho. It was greyish green and didn't taste so good. I didn't finish my bowl and threw it away. read more

Hanco’s - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Love me some bubble. Bubbles tasted fresh. Coffee was absolutely delicious!!! Staff was friendly. Prices are reasonable for bubble tea.

Good bubble tea. I tried the coconut green tea milk tea with boba, they gave me light ice as I requested, and it was ready quickly. It was sweeter than I would have wanted because it's made from a powder, but it wasn't terribly sweet. The boba was a good consistency, not too hard or too soft or too chewy. The space is nice and I can see myself sitting and working in there, enjoying the natural light coming through the big front windows. They purportedly have Wi-Fi, but when I tried the password it said it wasn't working or was disconnected or something. The menu is pretty broad and I'll be back sometime to try the food. read more

Leaning towards 2.5 stars. Coming from the Bay Area, I am used to $2.75 authentic delicious Banh Mi. And I didn't expect it to be a challenge to find something comparable in New York. I have to say Hanco's came pretty close. Grilled Pork Banh Mi $6.75: 4 stars. The baguette got the nice crunch to it, which I love. Additionally, it was filled with tender grilled pork (some parts were hard to chew) and just the right amount of carrots and daikons, although it lacked the sliced jalapenos. I guess the spicy mayo was a nice touch Anyways, here is the breakdown of why I am giving it 2.5 instead of 4 stars. - 0.5 star : space was not clean nor maintained well. If it was a cheap hole in the wall place, I wouldn't mind too much, but that is not the case. - 1 star : Okay, this lady working there actually made me cringe... I noticed her picking her teeth. Unprofessional in front of a customer, but okay. At first, I thought she must be using a toothpick, but she is using HER NAILS to pick the food out of her teeth. How disgusting. I made an eye contact with her to warn her that I am watching and that she should stop, however, she just kept going at it and didn't mind me at all. Then she handed me my food. HOW UNSANITARY AND GROSS. Thank god my food was in a bag already when she touched it. I pray to god that she did not prepare any of the food. Anyways, it's very debatable if I would be coming back. Decent Viet sandwich, unsanitary employee. read more

please bahn mi even though it was just a little bit of hanco panky, you have to love the pork and cilantro! P.S. why do they sell cans of cafe du monde coffee, but not a hot cup of that heaven? read more

Until my visit here, I had a prejudice against Park Slope being able to produce good banh mi. But Hanco's came to the rescue one afternoon when I had a hanco-ring (AHAHAHAHAHA sorry) for a Vietnamese sandwich. Bread is the most important component of a great banh mi. Indeed, "banh mi" really just refers to the bread - and in a proper Vietnamese sandwich, it should be similar to a French baguette, except baked with a bit of rice flour for extra pillowyness. The bread at Hanco's was surprisingly wonderful: crusty but yielding inside, warm and fresh. As for the sandwich insides, the classic was not what I was expecting - I'm of the camp that rejects crumbled pork in my banh mi. On the plus side, the pork wasn't the reddish BBQ'ed stuff you see at other banh mi shops, and seemed instead to have been mixed with the pate, making it super flavorful. The grilled pork banh mi was surprisingly decent - just Viet-style fish-saucey pork chop cut into pieces. I was missing terrine and cilantro in both sandwiches, but otherwise they had a really good balance of filling. The $6.50 sandwich is on the upper end of normal banh mi prices, but actually a welcome option in an area lacking affordable but delicious and interesting food. I can't just pop on in to Talde down the street and blow $50+pp anytime I want... sadly. The ambiance is very much a cafe, free wifi and all. No table service. Tables and seats are just run down enough to be low key and pleasant. $12 minimum for credit. They have an extensive drink menu, a few Viet appetizers, and also pho and bun (Vietnamese cold vermicelli salad). None of those items seems like their forte, however. Nor is Hanco's the *best* banh mi in NY, but it's absolutely welcome in the Slope. read more

Hanco's does it right. I've yet to conquer a bahn mi joint that makes sammies better than Hanco's. Seriously. Vietnamese sandwiches that I've had from other shops have been notoriously stingy on the amount of fillings inside of the sandwich. This makes about zero sense to me, since carrots, jicama, and cukes are basically the cheapest vegetables that come out of the ground. But, no worries here. Hanco's will not burn you. The vegetarian bahn mi is not only stuffed-to-the-brim with veggies, it's full of perfectly seasoned tofu. The garden rolls are also super yummy. They are always fresh, and always stuffed. Mmmm vermicelli noodles. I've never had the boba here, but my girlfriend swears by it*. Hanco's has a punch card buy-ten-get-one-free system, which just adds to the appeal. But, trust. You'll want to come here again and again for more reasons than to fill up your card. I wish the inside dining area was nicer/more conducive to serving as an environment that I would want to sit down in and eat aforementioned delicious sammie. The dining area sort of resembles the waiting area at the DMV. But, you can't have it all. ___ *And I've learned that it's best to listen to what she says. read more

People say that 2009 is the year of the bahn mi and, frankly, that was my 2007. What can I say? I'm ahead of the curve. BUT, now well into my obsession, I need to sate my urges for bahn mi on a near monthly basis so I have to say how THRILLED I was when Hancos opened in delivery distance of my apartment. It's not the same as going to Sunset Park, but it's good. Damn good. The classic and pork sandwiches are both must haves. They'll ask, "Spicy?" Say yes. Their pork is fantabulous. It's spicy, juicy, flavorful. And the bunch of carrots, sweet and juicy, offset the spiciness of the meat and sauce. People complained about the cost, but I think $6.50 for a friggin awesome sandwich is more than reasonable. I just finished one and I'm already looking forward to my next. read more

I have to admit, I prefer Hanco's over Henry's now... I will even walk the extra 5 blocks to Hanco's for their sandos. Crunchier, fluffier, yummier bread, more heat factor and just an overall more cohesive sandwich (as cohesive as a $6 sandwich can get). The summer rolls here are FAR superior and are humongous. read more

Perfectly fine Banh Mi with nothing to complain about. The bread was very good, the fillings were what they should be, save the daikon/carrot slaw which was one of the best I've had in a while. The iced coffee was fantastic. One caveat, the spicy sandwich contains chunks of raw jalapeno with rind attached, so make sure you realize what you're ordering and haven't forgotten that you have a big cut on the roof of your mouth which will turn the rest of your meal into a sadomasochistic give and take of capsaicin based pain and pork based (chag pesach sameach) pleasure. If this is the case, "vietnamese iced coffee" is your safe word. read more

I find Hanco's to be just pretty middle-of-the-road. I am not a big sandwich person so perhaps if I was I would feel more enthusiastic about this place. Their bubble tea is ok too, but not anything spectacular. I am actually surprised that Hanco's has a higher rating than Ha Noi, but I understand they are two very different places. It's also probably the Park Slope crowd too, perhaps only really wanting a casual sandwich place and not wanting to eat more diverse authentic Vietnamese food... read more

Very decent banh mi sandwiches! We tried the other outpost, and both are equally good. This location is bigger, and I would say the view is better. We tried the original banh mi, and had it made spicy. Be careful because my BF had a pepper attack! His eyes started to water, his nose was running, he started to have hiccups, and he looked like smoke was going to come out of his ears! We later figured out the culprit: a thinly sliced jalapeno with intact seeds, cozily + unassumingly nestled in with the camouflaging cilantro ;-) Be careful, if you ask for spicy, make sure you pick them out. We don't want to call NYFD on anyone :) read more

I used to live across the street from the Park Slope location and I miss it so much! Hanco's, please get on Goldbelly ASAP. I haven't had decent banh mi in nearly a decade! read more

The bahn mi is tasty, though I've had better (the best was at The Green Table in Chelsea Market, in case you're curious). The bubble tea is good, but the selection could, nay *should* be broader. I'm still sad that this place took over from the Tea Lounge, so the least Hanco's could do is offer an extensive beverage list the way their predecessor did. Also, I would come back more often if there were lots more funky bubble tea concoctions. I will say the summer rolls are quite good, and I'll be back for more bahn mi and bubble tea, too. I just wish the service was friendlier and the atmosphere more welcoming. Yet neither show any personality, so for now it's strictly a take out option. read more

Yeah, I know, paying over $3 for banh mi is some type of crime that foodies are supposed to complain about and boycott. Trekking out to some obscure dive of a restaurant, or a sandwich counter in a jewelry store, or going to Saigon--that's what foodies are supposed to go. Not to a nice spacious clean restaurant with English speaking counter-people in Park Slope. Hanco's banh mis are expensive, by banh mi standards. They're also overstuffed, with perhaps too much of the minced pork (this is a weird complaint to have, and it's not much of a complaint, but there was more pork on the sandwich and it unbalanced it a little, but in a not-at-all-unpleasant fashion). Oh, and they're also good. That's a plus. And an expensive banh mi is still a cheap-ass dinner with great flavor. However, the bubble tea is another thing entirely. They charge way too much for the amount of bubble tea that you get. Especially since they fill the cup entirely with ice. YOu get more ice than you do tea (and sucking up a piece of ice with the straw is both a very real possibility and an extremely uncomfortable thing to do). So watch out, there. So, yes. The banh mi is expensive. But banh mi has to pay the same rent that you do. So eat it in Park Slope, and ignore those people who travel an hour to Flushing to eat a $3 banh mi. read more

Expensive for pho and banh mi but given the neighborhood it's expected. Beef Pho actually comes with a generous portion of mixed cuts(flank, tendon, brisket) and the broth is flavorful. Grilled pork Banh Mi comes with a lot picked daikon and carrots. Pork was pretty good, tad on the dry side. Sauce was just sriracha and mayo but tasty nonetheless. Pearl tea is just average compared to Chinatown chains (vivi, kungfu, tenren). Really a 3.5star spot but for the option to get decent pho in park slope it gets a little boost. read more

Some people hate on this spot because the people working here are ethnically Chinese, and therefore assume it is less authentic. What they fail to recognize is that there are millions of Chinese people whose families have lived in Vietnam for generations, and are well indoctrinated into Vietnamese culture and cuisine. I'm claiming to know this family, or their origins, the point is that just because appears to be of a certain ethnicity, doesn't mean their cultural identity is limited to that region. Ok, rant-aside: Stick to the sandwiches here, they are good. Pass on the coffee/tea/bubble tea, and rolls. Faux-pork Banh Mi was darn near perfect!! The bread was light, fluffy, crisped on the outsides and flavorful. Plenty of pickled vegetables, but they maintained a delicious crunch to them and had sweeter taste than usual (in a good way). I'm usually not a big fan of fake meat, but I make exceptions for a good Banh Mi. The counter girl said the vegetarian pork was much more flavorful than the tofu, so I took her recommendation. She was right, the flavor was delicious. Even my meat-eating bf is a fan and commented with surprise "wow.. that's really flavorful!" I think he expects all faux-meat to taste like tofu, but he is right, it was packed with delicious savory, spicy, tangy flavor! Yum! The vegetarian garden roll is literally just plain vermicelli rolled in cucumber and lettuce. No amount of sriracha could save this. As a vegetarian, I couldn't even eat it with the dipping sauce, because the server thought it might have fish in it. It would've been helpful if they had soy sauce around. If you don't eat fish, don't order this. My boyfriend likes the Summer rolls (which are essentially just the Garden rolls plus Shrimp) but I'm pretty sure its just because he uses it as a vessel for the sauce! The sauce must be good. It was a chilly day, so a friend and I both ordered hot Vietnamese coffees. They came out lukewarm, which kind of ruined it for me. The bubble tea is a bit pricey, and after my mediocre coffee experience, it hasn't seemed worth trying. I always welcome a punch card :) read more

After visiting the Brooklyn Botanic Garden with my family over the weekend we decided to make the drive over to Park Slope to get some Banh Mi from Hanco's. It was a quick drive over from Prospect Park and there was plenty of metered parking available right in front. We all ordered the Classic Sandwich which contained everything that a good banh mi should have in it. The bread was nice and toasty on the outside and soft on the inside. Served slightly warm, these were delicious. The only negative to write about them though would be that they're kind of on the smaller side. They're noticeably smaller than the ones you would get in Chinatown. This location is much roomier then the one I've been to on Bergan Street. There's even a couch and television set up towards the back. There were plenty of people that brought their laptops and were just enjoying a sandwich and bubble tea while getting some work done. It kind of reminded me of a Starbucks. This Hanco's seems like a nice place to come to eat and just relax. read more

OH NO what happened? They recently moved a couple of doors down to a new space, which is lovely. BUT I got my regular a tofu banh mi which I used to love BUT the one today was so bad. They didn't put butter or mayonnaise on the bread it was so dry. Maybe it was an oversight but also the tofu is so bland, it used be very flavorful. I can see someone else said the same thing about the tofu on here. I am hoping this was all a mistake and they will get it together. I got a tofu banh mi from Henry's down the block a few weeks ago and it was so much more flavorful. I hope this all changes. I don't want to give a low star rating as I still have hope for them them. read more

Ah, the Banh Mi. Good Sandwich Vietnam! Probably the only worthwhile result of French colonialism: food influences. And thus we have the banh mi, a marriage of French bread and flavor popping Vietnamese ingredients. Hanco's version is really good... piled with pickled carrots/daikon/jalapenos and cilantro. My pork was voluminous, easy to chew and chock full of flavors. And the sandwich packed enough heat to where it's going to hurt me twice. As for bubble tea, I have a fear that I will accidentally inhale a ball, so I don't indulge. read more

This is my favorite bubble tea place. I love their Vietnamese summer rolls and they're shredded chicken salad and they make a very authentic Vietnamese sandwich. Overall super yummy and very reasonable. read more

...the review is coming from inside the restaurant!! (I am utilizing their free WiFi while typing all this up) At Hanco's they make good bahn mi, good bubble tea, and they can make me an order of summer rolls. Sometimes I order all 3. Sometimes I bring my laptot and browse the interwebs. Sometimes I yelp while I sip bubble tea and shove pork in my face. While for some reason I've liked my sandwiches better at the original Hanco's location on Bergen St., the bread here seemed fresher and tastier. I like this Hanco's much better because it's a nicer space. Their setup is smart, and I've been able to sit on my computer here for a few hours at a time before without any trouble. There's even a decent number of power outlets for those patrons who don't forget to bring the power chords for their computers. The staff is friendly and generally fairly quick. They are so nice, in fact, that even though they close at 9pm, I had been sitting and typing away for a while, and they closed the door and started cleaning up without making me close my laptot up and head out. I was there until 9:20, oops. I wish I lived a little closer so I could get my pork on here more often. read more

This is for their food delivery. I haven't yet been to the actual restaurant. I had the classic banh mi and boba milk tea. Classic banh mi included ground pork, which made the sandwich a bit greasy and I just wasn't a fan of it. The bread used was a tad stale, but perhaps it's because I got it as delivery? Anyway, I'm used to the authentic banh mi from Ba Xuyen in Sunset Park Brooklyn and from various Vietnamese shops in Los Angeles. This one just didn't scream authentic to me. It wasn't bad, but also wasn't amazing. My standards for boba is quite high, since I've been having it almost my entire life. The boba in their milk tea was not very chewy and seemed overcooked. It didn't have the Q mouthfeel I'm used to. The milk tea itself wasn't bad, but was a bit watered down. Good try though. read more

I really like the strawberry bubble tea here. However, one time I saw an old strawberry bubble tea sitting on one of the prep tales and was wondering if they would try to pass that off to me after I made my order. A few minutes later, my tea was ready and that old one was gone. When I asked if they gave me the old one, they said no, but as I drank it on the way home, I could tell the tapioca balls were soggy. Otherwise the drink tasted fine until I got about halfway through when it got really weak. Apparently, it had separated from sitting too long. So I was pretty miffed about that. I am going to ask for a free tea next time I go in. Still, I would recommend that tea, just make sure they don't give you an old one. I also have tried the vegetarian sandwich, which was pretty bland. Someone else there has the vegetarian soup and also complained it was not good. I am guessing this place probably has pretty good meat sandwiches and they don't know how to make good veggie versions. It's not an uncommon problem, so if you are a meat eater, I'd check out some of the other reviews. As far as service, the staff has always been very friendly. They do make all their orders in the exact order they get them, so even if you just order a drink, you have to wait for them to finish all the proceeding food orders. So expect a 5 minute wait when they are busy. read more

Dear Hanco's, Thank you for offering the vegetarian options. This place should a have a big sign that shows that Vegetarian Yelpers go crazy here! Ever since I been introduced to you last winter, I been slightly stalking your bubbly tea and vegetarian pork sandwiches. At first sight, I fell in love with your bubble tea. Thank you for offering impressive selection. I peeked at your vegetarian sandwiches options and decided to take a risk. Urgently I ordered. With my stomach growling, I sat down quickly and took a bite. Can this be? Can this be gratifying? Yes, their vegetarian pork are that good read more

Hanco's reminds me of some eatery you'd find in a student center. It's got free wi-fi, table arrangements perfect for studying, reading, writing, or surfing the web, and a few couches in the back thrown in for good measure. Not to mention, it's super clean. Hanco's is more functional in its demeanor than other cafes of this nature as its basic layout allows for less distractions if you've got work to do. And they happen to make a mean banh mi - probably my favorite in the area. I'm no Vietnamese sandwich expect in any regard, but what I know is that the spicy Shredded Chicken does the trick every single time. The baguette has the slightest bite of crispness to it, the meat always tastes fresh and delicious, and the chili sauce kicks it up to another level. It won't be the spiciest thing you've ever tasted, but make sure you've got at least a water on hand. I'm not a huge fan of the whole meat at the bottom / veggies on top construction of the sandwich, because then it forces each bite to be one or the other, but you could do much worse in the complaint department. When I feel like going the extra mile, I order the Summer Rolls, mainly because the shrimp and peanut hoisin sauce combo is sometimes that irresistible. After much deliberation between competing banh mi spots within walking distance of my humble abode, I hereby pledge my allegiance to Hanco's. You should do the same. read more

Even if they're closed I can smell the aroma while I'm walking home. Sandwiches always have fresh and hot bread. Cold noodles and noodles salad always fresh. Summer rolls also fresh. Never tried the pho as I'm Vietnamese and dunno how it would hold up against my mom's. (Heads up this place is Chinese run but is pretty authentic tasting still.) Lychee bubble tea is my go to. Stay away from the taro (and other powder flavors) bc they come our grainy and not well mixed. read more

I seem to get delivery from here at least once a week. It's not the best banh mi I've ever had, but it's cheap and convenient. If you want to warm a banh mi after it's been in the fridge or something, here's a tip: take the pickles and cilantro out, bake the bread and meat in the oven for a bit at 350 degrees until it's warm, then reassemble. read more
