So I've been back several times since my first review. And yes, the soup is amazingly delicious and fresh! Just the right amount of spices.

No two vietnamese sandwiches are the same! Please come to the Chicago area! Your sandwiches were always so good, fresh, and filling for the price. Haven't been able to find anything here that compares. read more

Was craving a vietnamese sandwich and remembered I had the menu for either Hanco's or Nikki's. I know there is a big rivalry between the two but I don't have a preference for one over the other and Hanco's was the menu I had, so that is what I ordered. I was blown away. I ordered the ground pork (heat = spicy) as well as a side salad and an order of summer rolls. The sandwich was ridiculous. SO GOOD. The spiciness of the pork against the sweetness of the pickled carrots were to die for. The ingredients were so fresh!! I want one right now just thinking about it. The salad was equally tasty - again, served with those pickled carrots. My summer rolls WOULD have been perfection if the mint was included in the roll the way it should have been (as well as how it was advertised) but maybe they were out of mint that day... whatevs... they were still awesome. Oh, and this place is a BARGAIN. read more

Their mango bubble tea was delishhhh.. Loved it. The actual restaurant is a bit small and seems to be the Vietnamese version of fast food as you go up to the counter to order. Definitely somewhere I'd have to try out as I hear that their sandwiches are delicious and worth the experience. read more

Best bahn mi i've had in NYC so far! I've tried the classic and the tofu, and both are amazing (the soft, crusty bread definitely adds to this!). Good pho and spring rolls too, but the sandwiches are the reason to go. read more

I went to try their watermelon smoothie over the summer and LOVED it. It was fresh and quenched my thirst. And then just yesterday I tried their grilled chicken sandwich. The toastiness of the bread, the flavorful chicken, and the coleslaw-like cabbage mix was a perfect blend for my taste buds. Delicious and fresh. My boyfriend absolutely loves their pulled pork sandwich as well. The restaurant itself is really cute too. Very nice and cozy. You can sit down and eat. They've got a very nice list of bubble teas for you to try as well as other fresh beverages. If you're in the area, I suggest you check it out! read more

i must say that i was surprised to see people saying that they prefer hanco's to nicky's. hancos has it all wrong and let me tell you why. first and foremost, their meat to bread ratio is off. the sandwiches are over stuffed. and second they fill the sandwiches as if it were a taco with the meat all on one side and the veg on the other making it impossible to get a complete bite of meat and garnish without eating the sandwich sideways. furthermore, they are simply bland city. how about some flavor up in this place?! read more

Park Slope Location - really great food, but they delivered to us last week and then tonight 45 minutes after ordering they call to tell us they won't deliver to us. This is ridiculous and terrible business. read more

Straight up hole-in-the-wall bahn-mi joint. I chose the vegetarian pork (don't ask why), which I will never do again. The bread, though, was good as were everything else. My date's classic was also delicious. Not my favorite Vietnamese sandwich shop (Saigon Shack on MacDougal), but a worth a drop-by if I am in the area. read more

I had this 3 days in a row! I can't believe how good their sandwiches are. I've tried Paris in chinatown which is pretty darn good but this place takes the cake. The meat is plentiful (for a Vietnamese sandwich) and the flavors are done well. I tried their Pork, Classic and faux Pork. I could easily see myself converting to a weekday vegetarian with these guys. They are pretty fast but not fast food fast especially during a rush of people.. I've waited on line longer at a Starbucks though. read more

I was excited when a server asked how "spicy" I wanted my bahn mi to be. A little disappointed with it being a bit mild for my taste bud, I'm proud for discovering this little bahn mi haven in Brooklyn. read more

Classic banh mi had really tasty ground pork, nice and juicy. Could've used a little more tang in the pickled veggies, as well as more cilantro and jalapeños to balance out the richness from the mayo and other meats, but still, I was not mad at it. Bread is a bit doughy for my taste, but again, I would have no problem killing one of these sandwiches. Washed down with a Vietnamese iced coffee for dessert (sweetened condensed milk + espresso = heaven), a more perfect lunch is hard to imagine. Pricey for banh mi, but good quality, nice staff, and plentiful seating for hipsters. read more

Probably the best banh mi I've had in NY. Love the pate on the Classic sandwich.

This place just isn't the same as it used to be when they only had one location. The flavors are muted and the pickles fall flat. Still okay for a quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way for anything on the menu here. read more

Food- great! Bubble teas-great! It's never quick, but worth it if you have a few extra minutes to spare.

Best bahn mi in NYC hands DOWN. The food is consistently delicious and fresh. Bubble teas are fantastic. I've tried other places both in NYC and around the country and nobody comes close to Hancos in BK. Just the best. read more

It's fine. The few times I've gone it's been crowded to the rafters with school kids. Drinks are nice, sandwiches generous.

Best Banh Mi around. Great bubble tea. Maybe it's a little pricey, but since it's SO MUCH BETTER than its (Brooklyn) competitors, I can happily live with it. read more

I have traveled wide and far and this is the best banh mi in all of the city. My friends and I come here every Sunday (sometimes Saturday, too) for lunch, and let me tell you, it never disappoints. I can't imagine anything that would make my stomach happier than pork banh mi in medium sauce and a Vietnamese ice coffee. Their spring rolls are delish, too! read more

This is a great place for a quick bite! The bahn mi sandwiches are made fresh and the grilled pork and the grilled chicken are my two favorites! The bubble tea selection is also very good here. read more

Fresh! Really great sandwiches. Fresh, crispy bread. Fresh cilantro. Great choice for vegetarians (tofu/fake chicken/pork/or duck). The counter people are always very nice. And you'll have room for ice cream, right next door at Van Leeuwen's. What a great Saturday afternoon in BK. You're welcome. read more

i love everything about the quality of the food here. unfortunately, since they moved to Smith Street they cannot seem to keep the orders straight. 3 times in the past month they have either gotten my order wrong, or given me the wrong sandwich. right now i am p****d off because i am starving, it is 13 degrees outside, and i have to wait for them to deliver the sandwich that they didn't give me when i walked there to pick it up. meanwhile, someone else who ordered delivery is waiting for the sandwich i am about to toss in the trash because i don't eat meat. *it's too bad that yelp does not allow for two ratings: one for food, the other for everything else.* read more

Hell Yea. Good cheap Vietnamese. Had the rice vermicelli with grilled chicken and it was great. Only 4 stars b/c nothing spectacular - but perfect for quick bite. read more

a go to take out place in park slope. great bahn mi and the summer role appetizer is very tasty. a cut above. prefer the sandwiches here above the local competition, which we have tried. the place also has pho, which hits the spot when you get the jones. they deliver and are usually pretty quick read more

It's nice having a Vietnamese option in the area but it pales in comparison to the superior (and cheaper) spots in Chinatown.

Excellent food, very good service, and lunch for $7. What a find! The vegetarian pork Vietnamese sandwich a must!

Delicious! Super flavorful pork banh mi and they made it spicy like I asked. Fresh veggies, good size sandwich. A good deal for $7.

This spot is just around the corner from my house. I don't go to it every week because I'm lazy. Well I am actually lazy but that's what seamless is for. I go there because the classic spicy sandwich is on point. I remember vividly going to a sandwich shop in Phnom Penh ordering a sandwich with not a lick of Vietnamese and just happy to get anything back as I was starving. What I got back was probably nothing like their classic sandwich as my memory is hazy and that was in '09. But every time I get the sandwich from Hanco's I remember chilling by the Mekong that day. Now you don't have to have been Vietnam to appreciate a good sandwich. I have non Vietnamese throwback sandwiches all the time and I have to say Hanco's is at the top of the list. It's always fresh and it's at a good price. Throw a bubble tea or Vietnamese coffee in the mix and this is my usual Sat/Sun lunch option. If only there was a view of a river nearby... read more

The environment seems comfortable when going inside and it seems to have enough chairs and tables for people who want to stay in and eat. Ordered the bahn mi, beef pho, and also the thai milk tea which all turned out pretty well. The wait wasn't too bad and everything was pretty flavorful and yummy. Would definitely come to eat again! read more

This place has some really good tasty sandwiches. instantly my new favorite the classic bahn mi.

I really love the green tea matcha with boba. It's a really good balance between bitter and sweet.

The food tastes pretty good when you finally get it, but I think they go all the way to Vietnam to harvest and assemble the meals.

i've never tried a vietnamese banh mi before, but my NY friend said i HAD to try one at Hanco's. O.M.G.!!! it was the yummiest thing ever!! i had the chicken with mild sauce. it was to die for. i especially loved the pickled radish and carrots; they went so well with the sandwich. and the bread was awesome - perfectly toasted! definitely will go there again if i'm ever in NY! read more

i loveeee their sandwiches. i can't get enough of it. the place is kind of small but i don't really mind that. also, i've tried bubble tea from over a dozen places and with that said, the tapioca at Hanco's is incomparable. really!! go try ittttt. you'll be amazed. read more

This place is so delicious. The banh mi is great but I'm partial to their rice vermicelli dishes. Really big and filling, and very fresh tasting. I love the shredded chicken and the pork, and have been known to pay extra to get both on my noodles. It's a good flavor compliment. The vegetarian sandwiches are also really great. Everything is super fast, just make sure to go to an ATM first. read more

Love, love, love bubble tea! If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and try it out! My favorite is the mango bubble tea. It's refreshing and the tapioca is fun to chew. It's a pretty small place, smaller than the Hanco's in Park Slope but still good nonetheless. read more

The food is decent, not spectacular, and the teas are yummy.

This little sandwich shop makes an amazing banh mi.

Amazingly good and cheap food! Classic vietnamese sandwich is my fave. Their rice dishes are also on point. Love their teas too :)

This place has the best taro boba milk tea I have ever had. My fiend had the limeade, which was obnoxiously good too.
