I am so glad that Hanco's is part of the neighborhood now. They make some great Bahn Mi sandwiches with several options as to what you want in it to the type of bread. As for their Pho, it's pretty good, not that best I've had but it hits the spot and once again you have several options from what broth to what meat so that's always a plus. They also make scrumptious fried spring rolls which are absolutely delicious in all their fried glory! Now on to the Bubble Tea- I never used to be a fan but they whip up a mean tea with those tapioca balls (which I've got to say do get annoying to chew and I end up looking like a damn cow in the middle of the street). I haven't been adventurous regarding the flavors, mainly sticking to the Original black tea but I am sure they are equally as good. Oh and servers/cashiers are friendly. read more

Their grilled pork Banh Mi is out of mind good. It just bursts in your system. Gotta try if you are by Brooklyn Heights.

One of my favorite places in the Heights for a quick meal. I personally order either the pork sandwiches or the pork rice vermicelli. The pork is well marinated and grilled and you can ask for the sandwich or the noodles to be spicy for a nice added kick. read more

I've had the classic Vietnamese sandwich, which is delicious. A wonderful blend of flavors and textures on a crispy, yet soft roll. I can't tell you what's in it, but whatever it is, it's fresh and delicious and full of umami. The summer roll is another favorite of mine. Again, the ingredients are fresh and crisp and delicious. read more

I like it here! Quick, friendly service! The workers here keep this place moving. If you speak Chinese(Cantonese), you are in the right place for they do as well. Of course, going with friends, I order in English. The lady right in front of the menu asks: hi, may I help you? I say: One grilled pork banh mi sandwich. She says: mild, medium or spicy. Then I respond: mild, please. She goes on to say: for here or to go? I reply: to go, thanks. That's right! She took my order in a minute and a half. Then I proceed to the very back to pick-up my order when it arrives and wait until they announce my number to let me know that it is ready to be taken to go. The wait for pick up was maybe 4 minutes at most. Talk about speedy service. I liked my grilled pork banh mi. It had a good helping of pork, a happy amount of fat to help me realize it's not just lean pork. It was well seasoned with soy sauce, mayonnaise, and fish sauce. To top it off, it had sweet brined julienne carrots and cilantro on top which made it heavenly. I love banh mi sandwiches. They have a special place in my life! I recall the last time that I came here. I got the pho which is a noodle with broth and sliced beef(raw) on top which was very flavorful as well. My favorite was the diced scallion and the noodles served boiling hot. Man, it took a while getting it up the stairs. Yes, there is additional seating upstairs in case you find yourself on the ground floor with your tray in hand standing and eating. Did I mention it has a sunroof? Hey, if you happen to get their teas or coffee, there is hope for you. Yes, there is a bathroom, that not only works, but it is undoubtedly clean. Hopefully, you can experience the deliciousness that is Hanco's. read more

I want you not to order from here in solidarity with punishing nasty businesses that treat their long time loyal customer like utter crap. Here's the thing, I really like their food. I had been going there loyally for a few YEARS, at least once a week (and recently, a great deal); that it until today. I will never go back. Voting with my wallet, and hope you will too. Mediocre food is not offensive but bad behavior is. Please deny them business. Here's the saga. Today I ordered the Thai Tea bubble tea (I usually get that and the roast pork bánh mì). I ordered it with "not too much ice". I got there, paid for my order (it's not cheap, just under five bucks); walked the four blocks back to my job and when I opened the bag I found that, if anything, they had given me extra ice (the cup was three-quarters full after some melting--meaning that the Thai tea was watery and therefore not good--exactly why I ordered less ice). I called them; and was told on the phone they had messed up my order, apparently reversed it, as I thought and given me extra ice. No store credit though, "could I come back"?, I said "sure". So I walked back, four blocks. When I got there, one of the owners was at the counter, not the teenage employee that had given me the order and who I spoke with on the phone. She did not have my replacement order waiting. Instead, she starting right in with telling me that they had taken away ice and usually fill it to the top with ice (this is a lie; I know because as I noted, I order from them all the time, and of course if that was true, that would be a good reason not to order their tea; who wants to pay for 90% ice?). She was incredibly nasty. Completely taken aback, I said something like "I just walked four blocks because your employee told me to come back to pick up a replacement tea; after twenty minutes of melting you can see the cup is still half full of ice, you're not going to ..." she interrupted me, said something like "that's how we do it" and then just stood there, unpleasant look on her face with arms crossed; apparently that was how she was ending it, no replacement. I waited a few seconds, then placed the cup on the counter, told her "I come in, what, three days a week? I will never come in here again." Do you want to give your business to people like this? I hope you won't either. read more

After a 6 month hiatus from Hanco's, I stopped in a few days ago for lunch, and was very happy with my bahn mi sandwich. I ordered their classic with medium spice on wheat bread for the first time, and it was pretty tasty. read more

I wanted to treat my husband to a nice bowl of pho on his birthday tonight, as we love that little spot. We were the last ones to order for the day, and I felt bad eating there, so we took our order to go (even though we could have stayed). Once we got it and were on our way out, I said "Thank you so much, have a good night!" Right after me a guy that worked there repeated the same phrase after me, mocking me and shutting the door rudely behind us, and the girls at the front desk started laughing. I don't know why he thought it was appropriate to mock me, but I felt very disrespected as I was nothing but polite and didn't do anything wrong. This type of direct disrespect towards a regular customer makes me not want to go there again. read more

Just be sure they really understand you. First I wanted Pho, but it's a chicken based soup, so I had to get something else. So I ordered the vegetarian chicken sandwich, which should have been kind of obvious since I didn't want a chicken-based soup. But when my sandwich came, it was regular chicken. Bummer. Otherwise, I really like this place. Wish they had a veggie Pho option for other vegetarians out there like me. read more

how can 2 hanco's be so different?? the one on bergen st... awesome. this one? TERRIFYING. the sandwiches taste basically the same as the one on bergen st (which is what even gets the 2 stars) but the service is AWFUL. it's sooooooooooooooo slow. literally waited more than 20 minutes to get a sandwich, even though i asked about it twice. the staff is clueless and lazy. the place was a mess - dishes piled on tables and on top of the garbage bins. 3 girls behind the counter. 1 taking orders, 2 just chatting with each other. there were groups of other people just sitting, waiting for their food. i would never come back to this one again. better off biking the extra 5 minutes and getting my food faster! read more

Pho beef: raw grizzle in a salty broth topped with rotten basil and a noodle clump. Enjoy! Also, "bubble tea" sounds a lot cuter than it actually tastes. The black tapioca balls are clearly a choking hazard, especially for those with dentures (i.e. about 80% of the local population). read more

Another great place to grab a nice sandwich, salad or soup. Everything has always been fresh and the service quick. Plenty of seats. Typical style Vietnamese sandwiches. I love the pork and chicken. read more

I probably eat here 50x a year. 150x out of the last 3 years. It's hands-down the best sandwich shop ever. Mild grilled pork never failed me. read more

Enjoyed a chicken ban mi and peppermint iced tea at Hancos. I will definitely go back to try other sandwiches and update as necessary. Nice place to grab something simple for lunch and keep going with one's day. read more

I eat here at least once a week. It is super fast, easy, and a great price. I almost always order the white meat Bahn Mi with extra cilantro. It is no joke. The salty chicken with the sweet shredded carrots and radish, make me want to swim in a pool of their yummy mayonnaise-like spicy sauce. Last week I had the Pho for the first time. I took it home and was pleasantly surprised on how they had provided all the standard Pho sides of bean sprouts, basil, onions etc. into a carry out box. I mixed it altogether and the flavors melded perfectly. While this is definitely not the best pho I have had, it is good enough for a lovely fall evening in Brooklyn. read more

Hanco's is the best Vietnamese style food I have ever eaten.. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Service is kind of slow. But I love the noodles/pho from here. Their seating area is great. Upstairs is quieter and nicer. Good place to go with some friends and just talk. read more

I really like here thai TEA (very very good) they make great food : pho...amazing i love it read more

I crave these sandwiches ever since they added the veggie chicken. I never used to order from here, but now I do 2 times a week!

Hanco's is the real deal - the shredded chicken banh mi is just perfection. The bread is perfectly soft (I always hate that banh mi that leaves the roof of your mouth all scratched), it is packed with ingredients (lots and lots of shredded carrots and daikon and cilantro), and for $6.50, it's huge. The only downside is that at a busy time, you will need to practice zen meditation to deal with the chaotic wait to pick up your food (especially since the receipt doesn't make clear what your order # is -- secret: it's the "cashier number.") read more

Good sandwiches and pho. Traditional Vietnamese sandwich and shredded chicken pho are my favorite. Really wish you could get the bubble tea unsweetened rather than sugar already being added in. read more

so, it was the first banh mi status post a trip to vietnam. expectations were high. i could still remember the taste of authentic cuisine. i ordered the shredded chicken and... well...they ended up with 3 stars. it was good. it was fine. it filled me. but... it wasn't like the banh mi hyunh hoa in saigon. it was also excessively stuffed which made it mighty messy to devour on the promenade. when i return (which i plan to do), i'll opt for the regular banh mi for a true head to head hancos versus saigon street pork/pate/miscellaneous meat banh mi. read more

I frequent this location most because, well because of it's location. The tea is alright, the service is okay(depends on the cashier that day)They play Korean music every time I go there. Today, they played on of my fav bands. Anyway, today I actually tried the food. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with honeydew boba tea. It was good. I didn't taste any mayo though and I don't like toasted, crusty...I mean crispy bread. The bread wasn't soft. Not bad though. I just wish they told me you pick up your food all the way in the back. Good thing the lady called out my order loudly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known. Also, the pearls/boba was not really chewy, but hard today. meh read more

i eat here at least once a week. do they need an updated system where when i tell them my phone number, my cc information and address pop up right away? YES. could they be faster with the food and more efficient at the register? YES. do you wait an ungodly amount of time for a freakin sandwich and boba? YES. but, is it worth it for a delicious dinner of less than $10. YES :) read more

This place has amazing drinks and bubble tea, of course but their food is amazzzziiinnggg. They understand the meaning of hot sauce and don't skimp on the amount of meat they give you or sauce. Be adventurous and try something off of their food menu read more

I only come here because the lunch food options are bad in the area..not sure what's worse - the always blasting crap pop music, the attitude of the cash register teensybopers or the system of going to the back to pickup orders. If you have had real pho this is like super bland but look this hood has limited food options so I still go? Throw some greens in that Pho damnit!! read more

The food is over priced and it takes forever to get the food I ordered. Went two times and my second time will be my last. Don't go during lunch time. read more

The only place on Montague that's not a lame chain or outdated takeout joint/diner/overpriced cafe so it is very popular all hours. Don't expect authentic Vietnamese food as it's generally a tall order for NYC, but the pho and sandwiches are definitely acceptable, and plus - you're a captive audience anyway in the area. Main drawbacks: I find the girls at the counter rude; they give you attitude when they fill their orders wrong and you ask for a correction or an adjustment. Another miss for this place - over the summer I ordered a watermelon slush and watched them feed nothing but 80% rind in the juicer! Yech, unless you like your juice with a side of pesticides and dirt. read more

The food is good. I'm always in the area but I've never actually eaten here until recently. However this is my first time having my food to stay and it will probably be my last time doing that. First, it wasn't that packed but my food took a while longer than it should but that's ok. It was delicious. I got the vegetarian pork with no butter or mayo and spicy. The pickled veggies are delightful. I also got a small peppermint tea and I don't understand why I paid 2.99 for a bunch of ice and some tea. That's an issue, it's just peppermint tea. If I'm going to pay, basically $3 for tea, there should be more tea. I took two sips and it was almost done. Now my biggest issue and probably the reason I won't be staying with my food is that it's a bit smelly, also the place is visibly dirty and the condiment table is swarming with tiny flies. Yuck. I understand it's an hour before closing but that's no good. read more

Hanco's - Maddddddddd ice, but the drop of tea I got was refreshing. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just what this area needed. The sandwiches are pretty good, soup mediocre, drinks standard. But nevertheless, I rated it 4 stars because I'm just happy we have one of these in our hood plus how can I not if i already have 5 stamps since this opened up a month and a half ago. read more

The food here is pretty good. So if you're taking out, fine. But sitting in the front or upstairs in a little dining room is not particularly comfy--though the lunchtime patrons, including a lot of bouncy students from the nearby Saint Ann's school, don't seem to mind. Moreover, though service is not inefficient, most of the young women who work here seem oddly cheerless and distant, which always makes it unpleasant to duck in and get the summer roll you're craving. read more

although the setting is a big awkward the food is yummy, love the ban mi vegan pork sandwich, has the right amount of everything and the vegan port pho is sooo delicious with that special kick of sriracha sauce. read more

Awesome bubble tea and I love their veggie chicken sandwiches! Service is always pleasant and the place is clean. There's some seating downstairs but more space upstairs. The pho is yummy. I don't get to go often anymore since I've switched jobs but I always stop by when I'm in the area and love to bring my out of town guests for a treat. read more

well kept and cozy place. the pho (noodles) were a bit too al dente and should have been cooked longer. the soup tasted a bit commercial rather than freshly made. at least the service was quick! read more

Hanco's - Pho with pork. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been here two times and each experience was a little different. The first time, I got the Pho Xe Lau to go....big mistake. Don't get me wrong the food was delicious, but because you have put all the fixings into the soup and mix, I made a bit of a mess in my office. I admit it was my fault, told myself to get something with less maintenance next time. And that brings us to today, got the Class Bahn Mi and Black Bubble Tea. The sandwich was delicious, got it spicy and it was just enough kick. The combination of fresh veggies, crunchy bread, pate and pork was all in all one of the best sandwiches. It was a great price, awesome size: fills you up without making you fill super full. My only negative about this place is the Carry out area. It is awkwardly located next to the entrance to upstairs dining so you are there with out 10 other people waiting for food and a constant stream of dining in patrons either coming or going. Just a little weird. read more

I stopped in for lunch with my mother. They have a lunch special with a bahn mi and bubble tea for $9.25 which you should be getting. I got the classic which was very good and very fresh. The meat tasted great, there was a good amount of toppings, and the bread was nice and crispy. It was more than enough to fill me up. The bubble tea was very sweet and had a decent flavor, I was a bit surprised about how sweet the bubbles were. My mother got a roasted pork salad which she seemed to enjoy, I took a bike and thought he pork tasted great. I'd have no hesitations about coming back the next time I'm in the mood for a nice sandwich. read more

Pho is crack! Ordered to pick up at a specific time and the food was ready and hot and well packed

I went with a friend to NYC and after walk and walk for hours we made it io a nice street in Brooklyn and because I needed wifi we ended up here, I must say I was a bit scared because first of all we were starving and I wanted great food so I told the cashier I WANT SOMETHING WITH NOODLES so I can't tell you guys what I ate but it was SOOOOOO GOOD, so o had a bunch of noodles with chicken ( I don't think it was chicken because the texture was kinda chewy ) and lettuce, with stirred carrot and more, it was a HUGE plate so I ate half and take home the other half, it's pretty, the price it's ok because the portions are enormous and Brooklyn it's just gorgeous :) read more

Since it was a dreary day, I decided to give the Pho here a try. I got the grilled pork chop pho and the thai bubble tea. The pho was decent, however I slightly liked the one at Nicky's Vietnamese a little better. They serve the pork chop on the side and the broth is slightly more flavorful. The bubble tea was a nice treat as well and was great alongside the pho. Overall though, the sandwiches here are the star and I think I will stick to those from now on. For my pho fix, I will head over to Nicky's on Atlantic! read more

So far everything I have tasted here is delicious! Excellent place to hang out after/before work. My go to dish is the classic banh mi, and the lychee or coconut bubble tea! Yum!! read more
