Non-attentive front register....limited menu mainly bread dishes ( boring) and Pho dishes are ... ok (but I've tasted better).

I was heading to a personal picnic and needed a small salad and drink to complete my meal. I was planning to go to another deli but their sign for bubble tea snagged my eye and I was pulled in quicker than a starving fish in the middle of winter. I ordered the coconut bubble tea, and it was on par. Not amazing, or earth shattering but on par. It actually tasted like coconut and the tapioca were almost the perfect consistency. My biggest gripe was the price of the drink, even Starbucks isn't THAT outrageous. I also ordered the green salad which was amazing! The greens were exceptionally tender and ripe. They put the dressing on the side, and a little goes a long way. The dressing was so good I saved the remainder to recreate this salad at home. Overall I would visit again but skip the bubble tea unless I was having an out of this world craving. PS: Dear Hanco's, Don't you think it would be more economical to make classier numbers to give to patrons. If you are charging 4.75 a bubble tea I'm sure that you can afford to pay 2.00 to laminate the hand written paper numbers you are giving out. By the way, I'm not sure if that is classier but anything is better than what you are using now. Thanks, Tracie read more

Not my favorite Vietnamese spot, but I might come back if I'm in the area. Don't get me wrong, I love Banh Mi, but I've had better. I had the shredded chicken Banh Mi. The mayo inside was pretty standard, but I'm used to delicious homemade mayo with it. This was kind of like chicken salad stuffed into the shell of a Banh Mi. It was also overflowing with veggies completely throwing of the balance (as in taste-wise) and the balance (as in I can't hold this damn thing together) of the sandwich. The bubble tea was very tasty. I had the lychee black tea bubble tea. When I went to Beijing I brought back Lychee Black Tea because it was my absolute favorite, so I was happy to find a bubble tea variety in a Vietnamese place. One thing though the big (in diameter) lychee-sized straw, and all the lychee(s?) at the bottom of the tea were a little bit of a choking hazard. Caught me off guard, especially when I needed a big sip for my spicy banh mi. I had to buy a diet coke halfway through the meal because I couldn't take appropriate sips to cool down. The couch and arm chairs in the back look cool, but aren't comfortable. Not that I was expecting much. read more

I've had the classic banh mi & beef pho. The classic banh mi wasn't very classic, where is my pate dude? It was still tasty, but at $6.50, I want a visible spread of that good ole pate that defines the classic banh mi. My friend and I scanned our banh mi's for the pate. Nada. The beef pho was tasty too, very tasty! For $8.95 you get a big bowl that isn't the same size as if you had paid for the big size in Chinatown. But hey, this is Park Slope. I wish they had the option for a smaller bowl though... I would return for the pho if I can't find a better, cheaper place, but not for the classic banh mi. read more

My first time having bubble tea - pretty good although I think it was over $4.00 (kind of pricey!). The vibe inside was very relaxed - the man friend and I hung out for quite awhile, reading the extensive collection of magazines, and we didn't feel any pressure to buy more than our drinks. The sandwiches look good though - I'd like to come back and try one soon. read more

I'm addicted. If only we can have one open in Washington, DC. Sandwiches made to order. Very fresh and loads of flavor. Perfect pickled veg. read more

This was my first place to try Vietnamese Sandwich. Yes, the sandwiches are smaller than some place in Manhattan, but oh veeeeery tasty! Just enough amount of radish and carrot. Love their bread. My favorite is the classic sandwich. Mmmmm delicious! My husband loves their tofu sandwich. Great tea, too. We'll be back for more! read more

GOOD sandwiches. In my opinion, I think HANCO'S has the best vietnamese sandwiches. I know some people may disagree but in my opinion, I think they win. I've had the classic, the tofu vegetarian (SO GOOD), grilled chicken, and shredded chicken. I love coming in here is because they have the option of whole wheat baguette. I know although it's not the same with whole wheat but I think it's just as good! The best part of the sandwiches, they give you a generous amount of pickled carrots and daikon which really is the key element in giving the sandwiches flavor. And the staff is rather efficient and quick in service. You can expect your order ready in less than 5 minutes. I normally pair my sandwiches with a cup of vietnamese coffee. Coffee here is pretty pricey but the flavor is so bold and so good. (( I tried to make my own version of viet coffee with the same ground coffee beans, condensed milk, and what not, but its not the same unfortunately. )) --- Hanco's on 7th ave is set up like a sandwich caffe shop where you can pick up your food and sit anywhere. There's a lot of seating so I usually don't have to worry about not being able getting a seat. I like coming in here for a quick lunch with my lap top and get some work done. Oh yeah, they also have wi-fi. ((2 thumbs up Hancos!)) read more

So delicious. Eat here often. Succulent chicken sammy. fresh crispy veggies. Crusty and soft baguette. There is no place better. read more

While I'd always rather go to Chinatown for Banh Mi, this place is close to where I live and convenient for meeting with friends in the neighborhood. The sandwiches are decent, but this is not the place for a decent Pho (I'd rather make it at home or go to Chinatown if I really want one). The bubble tea is a bit pricey but it's in Park Slope, so it's relatively cheaper. I would rather come here for a quick bite than waste my money at the super over rated Talde across the street. read more

I was on my way to see Celebrate Brooklyn! in the park when I got hungry. I saw this place and stepped inside. It looked nice inside, lots of room if you come in with a group of friends. Everyone behind the counter were nice and friendly. Their menu had lots of yummy things and then I saw they offered natural juices too. Man, I am a sucker for watermelon juice! I decided to get the chicken sandwich. Oh wow, the chicken was moist with flavor, the French baguette was toasted to perfection, and the daikon, radish, and cilantro - ahh it made it complete. I was happy! I will DEFINITELY be back. Gotta try that watermelon juice! read more

In my opinion, the rating is border line 2/3 stars. I like how there's a Vietnamese restaurant in the area with bubble tea but I'm not crazy about the: 1) relatively higher price 2) not so authentic banh mi sandwiches (the original one) 3) limited pho selections (ie: beef, chicken, veggie only) 4) place run by non Vietnamese (it's not a huge deal but I always feel like something wasn't right about having non Vietnamese serving/making Vietnamese food) I totally feel the same way when I see non Chinese chefs cooking Chinese food at the take out restaurant. The food is decent and i like the self service. Overall nice spot to come to if I have cravings and don't wanna leave PS, otherwise, it's not my regular go to place. read more

Their banh mi is delicious and their secret ingredient is definitely their bread which is soft and crispy without that crust that cuts the side of your mouth. My favourite thing at Hanco's however is not the sandwiches, but their pho which is excellent. Delicious broth and lots of fresh veggies and they don't scrimp on the meat like some other places read more

Been recently exposed to Vietnamese cuisine thus us quickly becoming one of my favorites. Ban me sandwiches on great frrl

I've been there many times, since I work on the same block, and the last time I went there the lettuce in my salad was UNWASHED. There was grit and dirt in EVERY BITE. I will NEVER be going there again. To me, dirty lettuce is one of those inexcusable offenses that mark restaurant off my list forever. It indicates a poorly run kitchen and bad food handling. read more

It's about time Park Slope got some Vietnamese sandwich action. Granted, everything on the menu is at least 20% more expensive than it would be in Chinatown, but I can walk to this place in five minutes and they deliver if I'm too lazy to do even that. The sandwiches are delicious. They're spicy and crunchy and full of all different flavors, like any good banh mi sandwich should be. And the bubble tea is not oversweetened as bubble tea tends to be. The space gets a flat zero for ambience, though. It's crowded and noisy, with uncomfortable institutional chairs and no personality whatsoever to the space. The menu isn't posted anywhere, meaning you have to take one off the pile to decide what you want - this strikes me as needlessly wasteful. They appear to have ironed out some of the kinks in their service, though, because we waited less than 10 minutes for our order when we dined in despite the place being packed. Right after we ordered, they got slammed - the line was out the door by the time we got our food, but the counter staff didn't miss a beat. read more

Rice Vermicelli Salad. Garden Rolls. I'm pretty sure that Tom Robbins had it wrong, and that the only way to make love stay is Hanco's. Specifically, the Rice Vermicelli Salad and the Garden Rolls. So simple. So right. Bubble tea is gross (regardless of where it's made) and should be discouraged, so my review is only for the food (which is delicious.) read more

Decent Sandwiches. (Could've used a crustier baguette, for my money) A little bit pricey. Vietnamese Iced Coffee isn't as hip as bubble tea, but don't count it out. read more

This is my favorite Vietnamese sandwich shop/bubble tea place in the slope. Maybe not in the entire city, but i love having this place near my house. Grilled chicken sandwich is definitely the way to go, but the classic is decent too. Lychee bubble tea is my other go to. If you stay in the shop, there's free wifi, but my favorite fall plan is getting food and a drink to go, walking over to prospect park and having a picnic. The women working behind the counter has always been super sweet and friendly. And there's buy 9 get one free cards you can get stamped. Only downsides are that it can get a bit loud and crowded, but it's something I'm totally willing to deal with. read more

Sandwich review: I have been to two Hanco's stores (the other near Smith st) and tried their grill pork sandwich. Their quality is pretty consistent, yet I have trouble with their French roll. When you get your sandwich, taking it out from the paper wrap, you realized the roll is falling apart, and very soon it wouldn't hold up the ingredients. I hope it is due to the quality of it but not the freshness. When it comes to sandwiches or burgers, the bread roll or bun is the soul of the product. I have had better Vietnamese sandwiches in Brooklyn (particularly in Park Slope), and cheaper. If you are right near by, it is worth trying, and they give you a buy-9-get-1-free punch card! Also it is a spacious store, plenty of room for stroller, babies and friends. read more

New fave spot for Vietnamese sandwiches near my apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The Classic is bomb - will be coming back here soon! Edit: ^ was what I wrote as a tip about a year ago when I first discovered this place. Now I'm living in San Diego and I miss this place so much! It became me and my boyfriend's go-to casual brunch vietnamese sandwich shop on the weekends. The food was always fresh and satisfying. I just wish there was one of these in San Diego! read more

I feel kind of weird giving this place 5 stars for one menu item, but I think it's warranted! I've tried a couple different things from this place, but my absolute favorite is the classic Vietnamese sandwich. I'm not a big pho person, but I've heard it's good too. But that sandwich though! Ugh the bread is so fluffy yet crispy. I get the spicy and it's so flavorful, but not so hot that it just burns your mouth without any flavor. I'm really into texture so I really love the crunch of the carrots and cucumber in the sandwich. This is one of those things that I think about throughout the week and can't wait to have one over the weekend. Their bubble tea is not super great, but I don't even care. The banh mi makes up for everything! read more

Nice little place for a quick bite or time to your self. Had the chicken combo roll. Pretty tasty and very affordable place

I have no problem with the food here, but the staff is u friendly rude and u professional. I've been here a couple times already and it's the same rude service as always. I just left there after ordering a green tea, they gave me the green tea it wasn't even close to full(the cup) I asked nicely if she can fill it up since they are charging 4.35 and she got an attitude and was complaining to her coworker in another language(I can't verify this 100% but I am pretty sure) read more

The BEST salad with faux chicken!!!! BEST peanut sauce!!! Love the mint in there too! A real meal!

A welcome change of pace from the neighborhood's never-ending pizza places and "cute" restaurants. Forget that you can get banh mi in Chinatown for under $4. Park Slope is not Chinatown. This used to be a Tea Lounge! Hanco's has delicious bahn mi (I second the spicy recommendation), Vietnamese coffee and bubble tea. Not a bad place to eat-in, especially in the off-hours. read more

The classic, spicy or not, is it, the item on the menu that redeems any other sins Hanco's may have. Long wait? A touch more expensive than maybe it should be? Bland vermicelli salad and spring rolls? Doesn't matter. The classic is it, the obsession that always comes to mind when I wonder what I want to eat, what I have to deny myself because I already ate one this week. I'm not a banh mi expert, this is admittedly my only exposure, so this review is more absolute than relative to other Vietnamese sandwiches. In other words, if this is the worst banh mi in the world, it's still worth five stars relative to food in general. It has a little of every texture: the chewy crusty thin bread, the smooth ham, the fine ground pork, the just-on-the-edge of crisp pickled veggies. If the way your food feels in your mouth is as important to you as the way it tastes, this sandwich delivers. It also has the full thermal range, from the cool daikon and carrots all the way up to hot enough to hurt (if you want, or you can request medium or not at all). Also: butter. read more

Classic banh mi rocked. A perfect marriage of meaty, spicy, crispy, and cool, with a large dose of yum. For everyone whining about the price, this is Park Slope. Rail against gentrification in general if you like, you've got good cause, but don't blame Hanco's -- they gotta pay their rent just like everybody else. My only complaint is the place could be cleaner. Wouldn't hurt to wipe down the tables from time to time. read more

About three times the size of the Bergen St. location, it has a sunny and airy feel to it, with a scattering of people taking advantage of the free wifi on their laptops while sipping some bubble tea. The almond bubble tea hits the spot for me, and I had a very good grilled chicken sandwich there today. The bread was exceptional--not too thick, plenty fresh, nice and crispy--and whatever they used to marinate the chicken worked well. Will definitely be returning for more sandwiches and bubble tea. read more

I wasn't always a fan of bánh mì, but one day I just came around. And walked into this Hanco's. Now, I do find $6.50 (the last I checked) a bit steep for a bánh mì, but if you calculate the time + subway fare it would take to roll into Chinatown (or worse, Flushing) and back for a $3 one my math tells me to stay in Brooklyn. Either way I really like the generous scoop of minced pork they manage to shovel inside the mini baguette. If they can actually make a spicy bánh mì (the current "spicy" isn't very spicy) I'd probably move in. read more

Great banh mi, good bubble tea, & vietnamese coffee! Good service! You can sit all day with your lap top and no one say anything.

Absurdly long wait, 2 hrs to be exact for a Monday lunch delivery, in Park Slope, never was notified. Called and got the stuttered delivery on the way BS and waited another 25 mins. I don't care how good you sandwiches are, its a Vietnamese sandwich joint, not hard to replicate and I can find other places that serve just the same sandwich without the bs. read more

Muuhhhfuggin HANCO's!!! Man I miss this place already! I recently just moved away from the area and I missed Hanco's service so much I had to come back and write a review. 12 minute delivery....every time....it's ridiculous. Like supernatural ridiculous. I don't know how they do it but I will never question they're powers. The food here is pretty solid and bubble tea is great. Delivery bubble tea never arrives spilled or room temperature and everything is pretty much always fresh. I miss this place man...excellent neighborhood spot read more

Every time I am about to order from Hanco, I get so excited!!! I get the Vermicelli Salad and it is amazing, the pork is so tasty and the fish sauce is just right. YUM!!! read more

Foodie from AZ. Went on a food crawl starting here. I ordered the vegetarian pork sandwich, with kind of low expectations... but turns out after having just one bite, things got pretty awkward due to my FOODGASM. I intended to only eat half the sandwich, to save room for dinner number 2, but I devoured the whole sandwich. read more

This place has been in the neighborhood for a while and I have worked my way through most of the menu. My advice to you is: restrict yourselves to the Vietnamese sandwiches because everything else here is extremely mediocre to poor. Additionally, the restaurant is frequently dirty and the customer service is abrupt. read more

I love hanco's. This is my go to lunch spot, if I have an extra $10 and time for a visit. I love their grilled chicken Bhan mi though as a vast amount of bread is something I want to avoid I go for the salad version. Both are so good I also love the Pho. Even better hanco's has multiple locations in Brooklyn and has spawned several copycat locations which are super no frills but just as good as the real thing(sorry Hanco's). I can't wait to go back. read more

Place smelled right when we walked in and that was already a bad sign and omen of what was to become. It was pretty full though, so figured it would ok. However when I inquired about gluten free (health reason), they were so rude and not helpful. They just handed me a menu and acted so disinterested about it. The service was horrible. All rude staff. The pho soup was just barely edible and the bubble tea was gross. Afterwards felt sick to my stomach. Total failure. I would rate them 0 stars but I had to rate one here as the lowest. Will never go back! read more

I probably like this place more than I should... That's mostly a statement against the classic bread used for their sandwiches here. It's good bread, I just believe in mixing it up a bit. Probably my favorite standard banh mi, but put enough paté and you'll probably win me over. I've tried a few menu items. All yummy, definitely a great spot in Park Slope. Highly recommend coming with friends and splitting some dishes to get a good taste of what's available at this chill casual joint. read more

The classic banh mi is very flavorful! Perfect balance of sour, crunchy vegetables, fresh, fragrant cilantro, and addictive ground pork packed in a crispy baguette. Accompanied by their strong, creamy iced coffee, Hanco's made for a great brunch choice. Friendly staff, tons of seating area, fast service. A tiny blessing in the neighborhood. read more
