    Crepes
    Joe B.

    So glad the dinning room is open again. Wish this place seemed to be busier, maybe they do most stuff takeout. The few times we have been here pre and post covid the dinning room was never very busy but the food has always been excellent. The crepes make a great appetizer and not really a meal in my opinion, or a meal if you want a light dinner. Over the years I have tried that dish, the broken rice, noodle bowl and several of the soups and I can say they are all worth it. We have never had anything we did not like here. Now they even sell farm fresh eggs for $5 a dozen (as of Nov 2025)

    I absolutely love Vietnamese food. I enjoy learning about the subtle differences between regional dishes, and often find restauranteurs in Portland are open to sharing knowledge of their cuisine me. I was recently excited to learn that in relation to pho, soup from the north features a more refined, clear broth with minimal toppings. And soup from the south has a richer, sweeter broth with a wider variety of herbs and garnishes. The history of the dish is really fascinating, and most definitely warrants additional study. I've learned that pho originated in northern Vietnam, in Hanoi. And as families fled northern Vietnam in the 1950s, regional variations of the dish emerged based on availability of local ingredients and tastes. Armed with this knowledge, when I discovered Hanoi Kitchen is one of the few restaurants to feature Northern Vietnamese dishes in Portland, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Hanoi Kitchen has the appearance of being a family restaurant. It's a large, open space with lots of plants and the most gorgeous wood floors I've ever seen. It's a beautiful space filled with art, and has plenty of seating for lots and lots of people. A friendly woman named Kim runs the place, taking orders, making the food, and cleaning up! Her dedication to this restaurant and the community is impressive. And it's clear she's made an impact on the customers she serves. The wall behind the counter is plastered with postcards, letters, wedding invitations and funeral announcements from the friends and family she's served over the years. I love this sense of community as it show's Kim's heart is in both her work and the food she serves. Hanoi Kitchen claims they don't use MSG in the food they prepare, and all of the ingredients appear to be fresh and healthy - in fact, Kim even brings eggs to the restaurant from her own chickens! You can buy organic farm eggs for $5 a dozen! Everything about this restaurant indicates familial, homestyle cooking which is something I strive for these days. I love supporting restaurants and businesses who are invested in the communities they serve.

    Some of the best Vietnamese food we've eaten in this town known for its long list of truly good Vietnamese restaurants. Nothing fancy about Hanoi Kitchen's location or its street signage, though the restaurant's interior is clean, spacious and inviting. The tall plants lining the windows let you know this place has been around for a long time. Best is the quality of Hanoi Kitchen's offerings. We are particularly impressed by the freshness of the greens and herbs in the pho garnish plates, as well as the soups themselves. Excellent mi quang, with perfectly cooked noodles, shrimp, ribs, and pork belly in a luscious broth. We are also fond of the bun thit nuong (vermicelli bowl with grilled pork), which my partner says is the best in town. Another favorite: the carmelized fish sauce chicken wings appetizer. Generous and tasty. Delightful service. Overall a lovely spot for a meal. A go-to place for Vietnamese food.

    Pho Hanoi! Omg!

    Another amazing visit. Always great and the broth today was extra epic! Ladies are so wonderful and they even have farm fresh eggs available for $5 a dozen!

    I've never been into a Vietnamese restaurant where I felt like the entire menu hit the spot on home cooked meals I grew up loving. That was, until I went to Hanoi Kitchen. This had been on our to try list for sometime and we finally made it in. If you're looking for a true home cooked meal: I would order the home style meal. I chose the cá kho tộ and canh chua (braised fish and tamarind soup) and I was just so happy to feel like I was eating at home. The fish gets a little salty due to the nature of the caramelization and braise, but it was well balanced with the sour and spicy soup and white rice. The Banh Cuon is delicious too. We have had a few other items shared between our family and every item was well flavored and hit the spot. It's quiet most times we're here and the family who runs it is really nice. Definitely one of the Top Vietnamese restaurants in Portland. I normally prefer to cook at home but if I'm not and want Vietnamese food, I'll be here.

    Nudos ;)

    The pho was ok, not piping hot for a cold rainy day in Portland. The wait time for your lunch was longer than expected from an empty restaurant. With an empty house, it was easy to casually walk around the restaurant to view custom still art on the wall for sale by one of their customers. Supposedly they are from a local surgeon who paints as a hobby. The prices were surgeon priced. Nice garden display in front of the window.

    Not even 1/2 full! 3 small rolls for $12.50.
    Jessica S.

    So sad to see them fall so far! Prior to covid Hanoi was my families favorite Banh Cuon location. We went by tonight and was absolutely appalled at the quality and service. For $12.50, I received 3 tiny rolls that weren't even 1/2 filled and the veggies were beyond wilted. I called the restaurant thinking this was a one off and the gentleman who answered the phone said, "that's what you get!" And hung up on me. I called back thinking we got disconnected and a lady answered and started yelling. So sad to see them fall so far

    Pork chop rice plate
    Keizzel C.

    I would preface this saying the food is a solid 4 but the service is closer to a 3-3.5 for the wait times. But note when ordering at this restaurant he's only a one man show working all of the orders so just be patient with your order! If you do order I would say to order at least 1 hour of when you're ready to pick up. The staff was friendly and let us know we could chill inside if we wanted to as we were pending one last item of if we just wanted to come back. We opted to stay and he offered to turn on the TV if we wanted. ___________________ | WHAT WE ORDERED | + Crispy Pork Egg Rolls + Thai Tea + C1- PHỞ HÀNỘI (Hanoi Kitchen specialty beef noodle soup with brisket, rare steak, meatball and tripe) + F1 CM HÀ NỘI ĐẶC BIỆT (Broken rice with charbroiled lemon grass pork chop, shredded pork skin, minced pork, shrimp and fried egg) ___________________ The egg rolls were solid. They were on the smaller side of what i'm used to seeing but the filling was tasty. They place it on a bed of cabbage and a side of fish sauce. Meat was on the smaller portion side of the scale and meatballs were alright, but the broth definitely made up for it! The pho broth was flavorful and fragrant. I liked seeing a thicker type of rice noodle which was new and worked out well to absorb the broth. It paired well with the chunks of meat in the pho. The broken rice was a great dish to get as well since I don't see it at many restaurants. It comes with a large sized pork chop that had nice flavoring although a tad dry. The rest of the items were cooked well and the fried egg OMG cooked to perfection. Plenty of crispy edges while still maintaining a runny yolk over the rice. To help wash the meal down we got thai teas and they had a greater milk ratio to the tea but it worked out well. ___________________ Reading the yelp reviews before coming we were torn but glad we checked it out. Overall, I would say the food made up for the service and wait times. I'm not Vietnamese so i'm probably not the greatest judge but the items we got filled us up but don't expect too much of customer service. Not the worst thing in the world if you're prepared and order early in advance.

The large dumpling was yummy- it was juicy and bursting with meat. The chili soy sauce it sat in was nice to drizzle on the other food we got. The pork spare ribs just fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. It wasn't too fatty bc it was braised. They had nice caramelized fried shallots on top for extra flavor.

They're very unique flavors that I don't crave all the time, but when I want them, these hit the mark. I'd love to try it their curry, potatoes, noodles, or chicken next time.

To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough.

We had bar seats and left the option open to order à la carte or go with their prix fixe. The example menu on the website is several months out of date, so I was not quite sure what we'd get. But I understand the focus of this restaurant to be fresh, in-season food, locally sourced, vegetable-forward, French-inspired. It's a neat location near Mt Tabor. There's not a lot nearby, so it feels like a destination. There is a small parking lot next door, which is convenient. You enter through their market/oyster bar. There's not an immediately clear check-in table. And you're walked through the back to the other side where the Coquine dining room is. It feels a tad underwhelming - perhaps too casual for the finer dining expectation. Additionally, the person who greeted us was a tad surly. Service was friendlier during dinner but a little less hands-on than I'd like. I liked the design of the restaurant. Good lighting, natural decor, red countertop. They are a "zero foodprint" restaurant so the napkins and coasters are washable, serving utensils are wood, etc. It gave a very organic feel. Okay that said! We ordered the following à la carte: -Half dozen oysters (fun toppings - pomegranate gelee) -Bread and butter (normal, would skip next time) -Roasted carrots -Shaved cauliflower salad -Potato gnocchi -Pan seared black cod (our favorite) -Citrus tart (unique) Everything was tasty: well prepared, beautiful to look at, fun sauces and elements to discover. It might have been too many cold dishes at the start. We also got a half dozen cookies to go. I've heard that these are the best cookies in the city. They have nuts, which is an immediate disqualifier for me, but even without that I'm not sure they live up to the hype. Very delicious? Sure. Best in the city? I don't know about that. Overall this was a good meal, in a nice atmosphere. It felt very "Pacific Northwest." Worth a visit if you appreciate seasonal, ingredient-driven dining.
