We had Hanco's for lunch and got a grilled chicken sandwich and rice bowl. The chicken was very rubbery and seemed like it was microwaved.

Well this young lady owed me $10 and change, she gave me the change and then walked away. I waited and said she owed me the 10 - which she eventually gave me after acting confused. Also - there's something wrong with this place- when i went to the back to collect my food - the girl they answered questions with her back to me. I don't expect a lot from fast food places - but it would be nice to not be ripped off and to be treated like a human being. read more

Hanco's - short changed (attempt) by this young lady. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was by far the worst Vietnamese meal I have ever had. The chicken was fatty and over cooked. Literally the worst I have ever had. The veggies were flavorless and not fresh. I rarely write reviews unless I'm very upset and this was my worst dining experience in nyc in many years. The staff was also quite rude, but that didn't bother me until I discovered how bad the food was. I can't understand how this place stays open. read more

Pho is lousy and also $15 for a fairly small bowl. Weird that the protein comes to you cold on separate plate. Noodles are overdone.

I've had the pho and the sandwiches here. The sandwiches are amazing! I wouldn't come here for the pho though cause they're kinda small and don't have as much ingredient varieties as the other Vietnamese restaurants in the NYC Chinatowns. But back to the sandwiches, I like that they actually use big juicy pieces of pork in the pork sandwiches. I've had banh mi sandwiches from other places that use dry ground up hard pieces of pork in the sandwiches which is not for me. Get a stamp card. If you buy 9 sandwich/pho you get one free. There's a separate card for sandwiches and pho. read more

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

I was stuck in the neighborhood for jury duty! yes I was fulfilling my civic duty and trying to find a healthy and inexpensive meal nearby besides Panera or chipotle. I yelped local restaurants and winner winner, chicken dinner, hanco was an ideal spot for lunch! as soon as you enter you are hot with the sweetness and aroma of the bubble teas. I came for a banh mi and was impressed with the classic. they make them to your preference so I had mine mild with no cilantro. they also served pho and rice dishes although I didn't see anyone eating the rice dishes. overall, I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to all brooklynites fulfilling their juror summons. FYI: appearances are deceiving, there is extra seating upstairs. read more

Hanco's - The classic sandwich. Can't go wrong with this one! - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came back a bit later and tried the dark meat chicken banh mi many people here were raving about. The service was better than last time, probably because I didn't order it online this time. The wait wasn't that long and the food was very fresh. The chicken was very flavorful, but maybe too flavorful that I felt like it was a bit too salty for my taste. It could be that I'm more used to eating pork banh mi but I definitely enjoyed the classic banh mi over the chicken one. read more

Below average pho. Came here on Labor Day, 8 pm on a Monday. Had the beef pho which costs $10.75 per bowl. I also took a combo banh mi (which costs $8.25) to-go, but haven't tried that yet. The pho wasn't very hot when it came out and some of the meat was unchewable. The broth was very watery and not flavorful. For that kind of quality, the price should be lower. Otherwise, I don't see how they keep business. Service is a bit strange. You have to pick up your food at the counter in the back when they call your number. Thus, there isn't really any service. I shouldn't have given a tip, since it made the overpriced food worse than it already is. Don't recommend anyone come here unless you're getting tea or something. read more

Hanco's - Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here after my Pilates class for the originally bubble tea, and I was unimpressed. I had the milk tea unsweetened, and it was just average. The tapioca was stale and tasted like they have been sitting there for too long. This is the first bubble tea place I found in Brooklyn Heights, if I can't find more, I had to come back here again... read more

Hanco's - Original Bubble Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Terrible beef pho. The stock was totally flavorless. Waste of my money and calories.

Good tea but I do wish it was a little sweeter or that they had more of a variety. But the girls who work here are super nice and the price for the tea isn't bad for the area. Next time I'll try their food. read more

Perfect Vietnamese sandwich shop. It is cheap and quick. My favorite thing to get is either the grill chicken or pork sandwich. They both come with vinegary carrots, cucumber and cilantro. And if you get it medium spicy they have this delicious shiracha mayo. I definitely suggest trying their sandwiches (~$7 each). I haven't had their pho but it looks pretty authentic from what I've seen. I also like to get their almond bubble tea with almond milk. This is the only bubble tea place I know that makes boba with soy/almond milk if asked. Definitely stop by here for some cheap eats! read more

turn off your seamless if you're closed!!! so we don't waste our time ordering food that we never get!!!!

Unfortunately this is the best Bahn Mi I have found in my area otherwise I would definitely stop going here. I don't think they care at all if you ever come back because they look quite angry with you when you order and pick up your food. Service here is terrible! I have even tried to get eye contact and say goodbye when I leave but they just ignore you even when they are not doing anything. When running a restaurant, the most important people are your customers. Treat them with disrespect and they will stop going there. I know this contradicts my above paragraph but honestly, I would eat here way more often if I felt appreciated. Other people feel the same way and this is reflected in their overall rating dropping consistently with an average of 2.5 over the last 5 months. This place is in danger of becoming another restaurant to close on Montague street which seems to happen quite often these days. read more

I love their pho and bubble tea. I highly recommend it. But it is a little pricey but over all very in joy able.

Solid but average Pork Banh Mi for Brooklyn Heights (sorry comparing against Chicago's Vietnamese Chinatown Banh Mi which is overwhelmingly packed full of flavor, quantity and fresh ingredients)- hence the 4 stars). Just one little "gripe-ish" - the counter person is not the friendliest. read more

I used to go to the one in park slope, so I was happy to discover this one after moving downtown. They also have outdoor seating which is nice. read more

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

If you're looking for cheap and quick Vietnamese food then you're in luck. Try the chicken (dark meat) sandwich. The food is prepared and comes out super quick. The ingredients taste fresh and the bread is soft and toasty and hot! read more

As much as I like some of the food, I'm going to stick to deliveries or maybe weekend visits from now on. Hanco's has a needlessly complicated system for ordering and picking up your food and makes no attempt to explain it. When it gets crowded, as any takeout spot in this location would on a work day, the result verges on chaos. There's no clear place to line up and order, so people are pooling around the front. After you pay, you're supposed to take your receipt to a counter all the way in the back, down a few steps, near the bathroom. You're somehow supposed to know this before you get here; some people don't, so there's a second crowd of people milling around the counter. Also, if you order bubble tea, you pick it up at a different spot. Unfortunately, there's not really a place to position yourself so you are able to hear the two different ladies screaming out order numbers. This means another group of people is nervously pacing back and forth between the two stations. The last time I was there, my pho was ready before my bubble tea was. I picked up the soup, then had to find a place to set it down, getting cold while I waited for the drink. I guess I could have just let it wait at the counter, but these ladies are yelling at you; it's a stressful scene. The banh mi is good--in my experience, it's good everywhere it's served. The pho is rather thin and not flavorful; there's a big bottle of sriracha on every table for a reason. The bubble tea selection seems pretty wide. Most of Hanco's business seems to come from people on lunch break, but an hour here might be more hectic than one at the office. read more

This place was very disappointing. I ordered their beef pho to-go and when I got home I noticed globs of fat and cartilage in my soup, I was so disgusted that I could not eat it any more. I called the restaurant and let them know and they told me to come back with the soup and they would give me a refund. I live a half a mile away so I bought back the fat and cartilage that I found in my soup and they were instantly dismissive and told me that it was tendons and that they always leave tendons in their soup. No where on their menu did it mention anything about tendons in their beef pho and I've had beef pho several times and never had tendons in my soup. Also, when I told the girl behind the counter that they should tell people about the tendons in the soup she rolled her eyes at me. I truly think that you can get better quality meat from the dollar menu at a fast food place. This is my first yelp review because I was that upset about the quality of the food and service that I received here. read more

I got the grilled chicken banh mi and man, that flavorful, charred, delectable chicken mixed with fresh cilantro and fluffy bread is AWESOME. The whole package is so satisfying, and while it was packed with too many carrots and the eating area was fairly dirty, it was a very affordable $9 hearty meal that was fuss-free and delicious. read more

Hanco's - Delicious grilled chicken banh mi.... mmmm that cilantro! - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I give Hanco's a middle-of-the-road score. It's good, it's different, but it's just sloppy and it's not top-notch Viet food. I got a spicy banh mi (here it's just called "Vietnamese sandwich"), two rice paper rolls, and a passion fruit flavored bubble tea. The banh mi was made with good ingredients, fresh bread, nice pickled slaw, etc. But the jalapeños were thrown on so sloppily that most bites were not spicy at all, while some bites were INCREDIBLY spicy. Overall, pretty good though. The rice paper rolls were a huge disappointment. They were literally 3 ingredients: shrimp, lettuce, and vermicelli. No bean sprouts, no cilantro, no mint, no matchstick carrots or cucumber.... not authentic, and not very flavorful. And at $5, they were overpriced too. The tea was very sweet, but refreshing and cold. I liked it. The cashier who took my order was rude and yell-y. I didn't let that affect my score though. Come here if you're really craving Vietnamese but there's nowhere else to go. Any hole-in-the-wall Pho restaurant would do a better job, and without all the unnecessary "hipster Brooklyn" decor. read more

Hanco's - Passionfruit bubble tea -- great. Banh mi -- good. Shrimp rolls -- terrible. - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Terrible pho. I have yet to find a good pho place in New York. Please holler at me if you know of a decent place? I've tried Chinatown and West Village and Brooklyn Heights. Why was it terrible? The flavor was bland. They didn't even have the abundance of spices and sauces necessary for pho. There wasn't a lot of beef, and the beef they did have was not tender at all. Also, barely there sprouts and veggies on a paper plate. I was extremely disappointed! Have yet to try their bubble tea -- but I doubt it is as good as Tea Time at Chinatown. It's all about the bubbles baby. read more

Sometimes I'm one of those people that goes to the same place and orders the exact same thing every time. I know! Boring! or is it Brilliant!!? It's Bahn mi! And since, I'm a pescatarian I love having the option of doing the faux chicken. Not that it taste like chicken but it taste heartier than just tofu. And I love having the mixture of fresh cilantro, cucumber, julienne carrots and daikon radishes. I have also been experimenting with spiciness! I'm pretty happy with the medium so far and maybe some day I will go that extra level. This meal also only cost me seven bones. And I never feel like it's weighing me down after I am done. I will also mention that I am very pleased with their bread choice. There's a great bread to ingredient ratio. And I love that Hanco's has a stamp card! It makes me happy to come in and have my meal on the house. I do wish I could try the pho but it is made with a beef broth. Perhas someday I will venture to the other items. .....but most likely not. If you see me here...I will most likely be eating a "Vegetarian Chicken Bahn Mi" with medium spicy. Yum! Also, there's always wifi! And tons of current magazines to parouse while waiting for your sandwich. And I enjoy sitting up stairs or the front patio tables. read more

I got the 'Classic' Vietnamese sandwhich and Thai Milk Tea w/ bubbles. When I ordered, I was asked if I wanted Spicy or not. I had non-spicy. Total was roughly around $12 (!?!!!) Sandwhich was OK. -There were too many carrots/radish - I didn't like the texture of having so much ground beef in my sandwhich ( a little odd ) - Couldn't taste any of the pate - Thai Tea was a little too strong for my liking ( the strong kind that gives you that headache, yanamean?) - Boba pearls were ok, like somebody else had stated somewhere below, it could've been a little sweeter and softer. Was it worth the $12? -- Nope. Would defintely rather spend the $9.50 at Chipotle. read more

For whatever reason, I had no interest in checking out Hanco's. Everyone told me how delicious it was, but I just didn't do it. Now I have, and I can't stop going! I think I have been four times, always choosing the classic sandwich- spicy. I feel relatively healthy and it's very flavorful. Great price, also, at $6. I can't vouch for anything else on the menu, but good luck! I'm guessing it's good. read more

My boyfriend recently introduced me to Hanco's because he knows I love Vietnamese food and He works on Montague Street. He said their Vietnamese sandwiches are good, but don't get the salad. Their prices are a bit expensive for the small location that it is because if you compare it to Banh Mi Saigon; Banh Mi Saigon is a better investment. However, I do love Hanco's. It's getting a bit obsessive because I have been at Hanco's, three times this week. Any way, the first time I went I tried their grilled chicken with rice vermicelli. It was served in a plastic to-go box which I wasn't too happy about, but it was tasty. Their bubble tea taste really great and the three bubble teas I've had this week tasted authentic and fruity, nothing powdery! I've had a strawberry, Thai iced tea, and peach. Today was my second time going for a self-indulging lunch. It's been a long while since I had a Banh Mi so I decided to try one. I was a little unhappy that they didn't have the meatballs so I decided to get grilled pork. The Banh Mi was really top-notch. They didn't over stuff it like at Banh Mi Saigon. The sandwich was absolutely yummy. It's probably one of my favorite sandwiches. Hanco's is a great place to come for a mid-afternoon beverage and food. It's an Asian version of Starbucks almost. They've got comfortable music and an interesting, cafe like ambiance. I am quite surprised that they don't have pastries or the mung bean dessert that's carried in a few Vietnamese shops in Chinatown. I think they need to make more additions. Another great thing is, no tips required when you're done eating! read more

If you're looking for authentic pho in New York, this is NOT the place to get it. The people working here were not Vietnamese and didn't even pronounce the word "pho" correctly. Nice try though, hence the two star review. Plus it was fun people-watching all the bratty kids when they got out of school for a boba treat. Interesting seeing all the kids get so excited about the straws and the new colors lmbo. read more

Decided to try this Hanco's, wasn't happy with the "B" rating but I tried it anyway. I ordered the shrimp noodle soup( pho) which was delicious and filling..The place has a seating area( a few tables). Staff was polite. This location has a jar of candy on the counter which I thought was complimentary, however, after I ate and asked the lady, she pointed out to me the candy was .25$ a piece which was clearly marked on the bottle.I couldn't resist and spent a dollar on 4 candies.. Anyway, if you want a quick tasty bite, this is a good spot.. read more

Had the classic sandwich (spicy) super good! Ground need mix of flavors. Thinking it wouldn't fill me up I also ordered a beef soup, which was huge! Both dishes were very filling and highly recommended. Serving size of the soup is quite large in my opinion, so don't underestimate the "will I get filled up" factor. Definitively coming back, often. read more

Hanco's - Big food - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What I got: Grilled Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) I normally go to the Hanco's located in Park Slope, but today I went to this location because I had plans to visit Dumbo afterwards. I didn't expect any less from a different location and I was right. My sandwich was delicious. They didn't skimp me on the pickled carrots and daikon or the pork. The baguette is always crispy, the veggies are always cold, and the protein is always hot. As I'm reflecting on my experience, my mouth is watering and I want another one. I should've purchased one to take with me. Dang it! read more

Hanco's sells bubble tea, Vietnamese sandwiches/ banh mi, vermicelli noodle plates, and pho. They're great for summer iced drinks and winter hot teas and soups. Their sandwiches are amazing. And Hanco's has two or three locations, so hopefully there is one by you! I am a big fan of their grilled pork sandwich. It has a big helping of tender, marinated pork slices, some spicy mayo dressing, and a large handful of sweet pickled carrot and radish. Cilantro and jalapenos garnish the top if you ask for spicy. Its about 6-7 inches long on a hero somewhere between a baguette and a hero. The bread is crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, and will not scratch up the roof of your mouth. I also love their pho. Teas and coffees are also tasty and all of their bubbles are cooked with sugar or honey - they're treats in and of themselves! Service is usually very fast. Your order at the counter. Then you pick up your drink if you ordered one. Then you pick up your food all the way at the end. There is seating in the front and in the rear up some stairs that have some nice backyard lighting. Counter people tend to speak Cantonese at both Hanco's locations I've visted. Usually a 5-7 minute wait for my fresh sandwich. Prices are great and the meals are a good value. A sandwich is the perfect size for a lunch. Add a bubble tea and I'm very full. Both items should come out to $11, but you can easily get just a sandwich for under $10. Ambiance tends to be a little dark, with most surfaces covered in a dark wood. Tables are cleaned periodically, but during high lunch rush, you might have to deal with some messes on your own. Everything is super casual, designed for quick meal enjoyment. read more

As far as I know, there's no other Pho in Brooklyn Heights-- so, this is my only choice unless I want to go south into the heart of downtown Brooklyn to Nicky's. Luckily, Hanco's pho is acceptable. It's not awesome, but it certainly satisfies my pho hankering if I don't wanna stray too far away from home. I like the layout of the restaurant--there's seating on the ground floor and seating in a loft area near the rear of the restaurant. Also, the inside of Hanco's is newly-renovated, modern looking, and welcoming. I hear the thing to try is the traditional Vietnamese sandwiches such as their Bánh mì. I tried this sandwich at their Cobble Hill location and thought it was tasty, so I'm sure it's just as delicious at this location. read more

I actually prefer this location to the one on Bergen Street. It's bigger and a lot more accessible for me. The food is exactly the same, which is a really good thing. I wish all the Hanco's had Veggie Pho (meaning NOT made with meats) like some other Vietmanese places do, but that's alright as I'm not judging them too much on this. I'll be checking them out again. read more

Dope Bahn Mi sandwiches! That is what I come to Hanco's for. It's all about the Bahn Mi. I enjoy their drinks also. I would give this location a 5 except the lay out of the restaurant is a bit difficult to navigate. read more

You'll find Hanco's just 3 or so blocks from the water/greenway path in the AHHdorable cobble hill area. Back in my county, we're severely deprived of bubble tea goodness. Therefore, anytime I'm outside of Nassau and in close proximity to a store or restaurant that serves it, I'm inclined to walk in. Thai iced milk tea was uplifting in both taste and appearance as it was pleasantly orange and sweet. The tapioca pearls could have been a little softer. Overall, it was a swell treat, even if I've had better. Hanco's isn't solely limited to bubble tea as it serves an assortment of Vietnamese sandwiches and treats. Like Nikki H, said - You don't really go here for the smile, just the food. Service is on the icy side, despite it being a warm beautiful day. read more

Delicious bahm mi sandwiches, the pork and the tofu ones are really good. The rice dishes are also good, it will be better if they add pickled veggies to it. The salad are on the smaller but good if you are looking for something light and unfiling. Their pho can used some upgrades but overall pretty good. Prices are a bit higher compared to other viet places in chinatown, especially after they last hike. One of the best places for viet food in the area since options are limited. read more

I'm not rating this 5 stars lightly. I have been eating banh mi sandwiches around nyc for the past 12 years and this place is my favorite. I like their banh mi the best because the vegetables seem fresher, the carrots, radish and cucumber here are bright and not overly pickled. The cilantro likewise is never old and wilted, like at many other banh mi joints. Their classic banh mi is my favorite, the three porks compliment each other well. The white meat chicken option is the only other one I get, it's pretty good too. I've gotten the pho a few times but mainly stick to the sandwich. If you order the pho I think the wait is a bit longer. read more

Great banh mi, no Best banh mi in New York. I tried the pork, dark chicken and classic and in order of the one I enjoyed the most: classic and pork are tied in first place, and dark chicken is a very close second. The day they open a location in manhattan I would jump for joy. read more
