    Chicken  Broth Pho
    Madeleine B.

    This is a laid back casual cafe with typical Vietnamese options. I needed a quick bite and got the grilled chicken pho. It was good but nothing outstanding. The broth was a little bland. But the chicken was pretty tender. They have a lunch special from 12-3pm, which I had just missed. Pricing is decent but overall I think this area of Brooklyn is lacking in good Vietnamese options.

    Pho

    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!

    Beef Broth Pho with Grilled Pork.

    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.

    $14 for boiled water tofu and vegetables.

    REVIEW FOR VEGETARIAN PHO ONLY: I beg of you not to come here for vegetarian pho........for a whopping $14 dollars u might as well just boil some water at home and throw in rice noodles, tofu and broccoli. Everything is bland, from the broth (you will fare better with store bought veggie stock), to the tofu. On top of that they didn't have sriracha....what kind of self respecting Vietnamese establishment does not have sriracha!? Maybe it's the west coaster in me that feels extremely offended this is what they're passing as "pho."

    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.

    I grew up eating Banh mi and this was pretty on par. Very flavorful, great pickled veggies. The meat was tender. I'd get it again if I were ever in the area

    Rice Vermicelli "Salad" with Pork - my fav
    Katey G.

    Hanco's is open!! Just got delivery during the Coronavirus shutdowns. Hanco's has been a trusty delivery option for a while, and I was super excited to see that they opened their doors again. My favorite this is their vermicelli noodle salad with pork. It's light and delicious, but not really a "salad." If you're into almond flavor, their almond boba is delicious - but I've only allowed myself to order it once. Their banh mis are good too, but they won't be the best you've ever had. Pho is tasty! You really can't go wrong.

    Grilled Pork Rice
    Rachel W.

    Simple Viet food in the area with fast service. The pork was tasty and tender, bubble tea was not too sweet and the pearls were chewy and not over cooked. There isn't too much competition besides their other location in Brooklyn heights but it always seems to have customers inside so they must be doing something right.

    Vegetarian Broth Pho
    Barbara C.

    They do have vegetarian/vegan broth for pho, and you have the option of adding tofu or vegetables. The flavors were just "ok," though. I have had vegan pho at other places and the broth at those other places were far more robust and flavorful. Here at Hanco's, the broth just tasted like salty water, only mildly improved by adding basil. The tofu was also super bland, but at least there was a good-sized portion of tofu, so I definitely didn't leave hungry. The soup also didn't have a lot in the way of vegetables - just a little bit of green onion and what equated to probably a handful of broccoli florets. Service was good, though - the lady taking my order didn't understand what "vegan" meant (language barrier) when I asked about the broth, but she was able to tell me that there was no fish sauce or any other animal products in the vegetarian broth. My soup was ready fairly quickly. So, I guess I would come back if I was in a pinch, but I'm going to look for better vegetarian/vegan pho elsewhere.

    Might be the best pho I've ever had. I had beef and my gf had the grilled chicken which was very good and season well. The service was nice and fast. The bubble teas were also very yummy!

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
