This was an experience. At 12:30 on a Saturday, we were one of only two tables. Our server appeared to be grandma, she was pleasant but didn't seem to be thrilled with having to work. We did enjoy watching her and her young grandson. He was really cute. For starters, we got the shrimp and pork spring rolls. These were very fresh and delicious, probably some of the best I've had. We also had the fish sauce chicken wings. These had a slightly odd aftertaste. At first, I thought the chicken might be a bit old, but then it might be a spice in the marinade. We let a couple of them get cold and I liked them much better that way, maybe the heat brought out too much of the flavor of the marinade? I was not very happy with my entree. I got the first rice crepe on the menu, B1. It was topped with sliced chicken that seemed almost processed, sort of like deli meat. Beneath this was rice crepes filled with ground pork and some type of green veggie. The flavor was okay, but the crepes had a really slimy texture. Definitely not my thing at all. I did enjoy the bean sprouts, cilantro and cucumber on the side. The veggies were very fresh and made for a tasty salad with some of the dipping sauce poured over them. My friend had the yellow curry bowl, which was pretty much a soup. I tasted it and it was just okay for me. I could tell it had coconut milk in it which adds a sweet taste I don't care for. The spice level was perfect, though, a bit of a kick but not too hot. By the time we left, a few regulars appeared to be pouring in. This place has a lot of great reviews, I'd be willing to try it again. I need to look over the reviews and see what others are ordering. But I can't give four or five stars until I've had something tastier. read more

We visited for lunch on a Sunday and were only the second table seated, so the restaurant wasn't busy. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our water glasses were never refilled, and no one checked on us throughout the meal. When we were ready to order (or ask for the check), our server asked us to wait several minutes so she could finish folding napkins and silverware. It felt like side work was being prioritized over taking care of guests. Better attentiveness and communication would have made for a much more enjoyable dining experience. The food was enjoyable, but the service didn't match the quality of the meal. read more

Hanoi Kitchen Is A Comfort Food That Feels Like Home! As of 7/21/2025, NEW BUSINESS HOURS POSTED ON THEIR FRONT DOOR Friday to Monday: 10am-3pm, Reopen 5pm-8pm Closed: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (Per their website, these new hours started March 2025) This summer's obsession of mine with Bánh Cuốn continuing back to Portland after a weekend of indulgence in Westminster and Garden Grove, CA. That led me to finally try Hanoi Kitchen, even though I've driven past it for the last four years. I called ahead early Friday afternoon (7/21/2025) and asked them to save me one order of Bánh Cuốn. They confirmed it's made in the morning and reheated per order, but assured me it would still taste fresh and not turn chewy. They were right. What we ordered (Party of 3): -1 Bánh Cuốn - $14 -Combo A: Cá Bông Lau Kho Tộ & Canh Chua Tôm - $18 -Combo B: Sườn Ram Me & Canh Khoai Tây - $18 -1 Vietnamese Iced Coffee (Cà Phê Sữa Đá) - $7 -1 Dozen Organic Eggs (boxed & refrigerated) - $6 Total: $64 Food quality: -Bánh Cuốn: Soft and tender as promised. The chả lụa (Vietnamese pork roll) was a bit softer than I prefer, and the fish sauce was decent but didn't stand out. Still, it hit the spot though I had better. -Combo A: The catfish came with one skinless and filleted instead of the usual bone-in round cuts, so the depth of flavor was slightly lacking. The canh chua tôm (hot & sour prawn soup) was light (lạt), missing the tangy punch I hoped for. Celery was used in place of bạc hà (Vietnamese taro stem), which I understood, but missed. -Combo B: Sườn ram me (tamarind pork) was a solid comfort dish. The accompanying canh khoai tây (potato soup) had good intention but used lean pork chunks; I'd prefer bones or short ribs for better texture and broth depth. -Cà phê sữa đá: Slow-drip style, just like home, but could've used a stronger brew and a better condensed milk-to-coffee ratio. Still appreciated the authenticity. -Organic Eggs: Easy grab-and-go, already boxed and chilled. Great price at $6/dozen. Ambiance: A true mom-and-pop/small family owned feel. While waiting, we heard our meal being made fresh in the kitchen, like being in someone's home. There was one dine-in guest as we arrived, and two takeout orders came through while we waited. Plenty of free street parking on NE Glisan, plus their own lot in back. The décor is dated, inside and out. It's a slightly rougher neighborhood, so I get why the hours are limited. Restroom note: Ladies' room had no toilet seat covers, so I took one from the gentlemen's side since we were the only ones there. Cleanliness-wise, it was fine. Overall: This was honest, humble Vietnamese home cooking, just the way you'd expect from a family kitchen. Nothing fancy, but comforting, familiar, and homeyness. It satisfied our cravings for exactly what we ordered, and we'll absolutely be back for a repeat when the mood strikes. read more

This is the spot you've been looking for. No frills, straightforward Vietnamese food. It's not Paper Bridge, but they got that fresh bun cha. There's a random massage chair sitting next to the cash register. The owner does all the cooking, wears slippers with that familiar shuffling sound across the wood floor. I feel like these are the sort of things that make sense to Asian people. Definitely coming back, and I honestly don't care that it took 30mins to cook my food, worth the wait. read more

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) read more

During quick trip to Portland, I had to get me my fix of Vietnamese food at Hanoi Kitchen. The bun bo hue and banh cuon were excellent.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

What's the best Vietnamese restaurant in Portland? And I don't mean who has the pho you like best. Vietnamese cuisine covers quite a range, and no place covers that range tastier than Hanoi Kitchen. Just look at there soup selection, all the classics, and just ONE choice of pho. Which I hadn't had in previous visits and now must sat BEST PHO in town! Very rich broth, strong on the spices, ample with the meats. Big bowl for only $14. Had a nice talk with the cook/cashier/waitress. Why is this place so empty? read more

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. read more

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 read more

Great family run spot. The food is always good. The service is always lovely and our Togo orders are always on point.

Extremely rude no wonder the place is dead. Hire more people or fix customer service skills. Meal took an hour and there was only me and one other family there do better . read more

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. read more

My family wanted to try a new place, so we decided to give Hanoi Kitchen a try. We went during lunch hour on a weekend, and we were the only party at the restaurant. It took 30 minutes for the food to be delivered to the table. The pho noodle bowls were very oily, with significantly more noodles compared to the meats. Our teapot was ready to be refilled, and the server said "We make every pot of tea separately, so I will make it for you now." However, it was another 15minutes before the lady returned to grab our empty teapot to refill and said "Oh, I am so absent-minded." Our water glasses were never refilled. The indoor decor left much to be desired.... There were remnants of what might have been a nice plant, now a collection of dried up branches/vines. In addition, there was a spider in its fully-spun web right above the dining table at the entrance. While surrounded by notices and reminders that this restaurant has had to raise prices across the menu and take-out ordersd to stay in business, our dining experience unfortunately had not given us a reason to return again. read more

Went on a Saturday at around noon. This place was empty, we were the only people eating in this restaurant. Not a good sign. The lady that greeted us was very nice. I think she was the only person working that day. We had a group of 7. She brought tea, and water. We ordered, I picked the bun Bo hue. Many others ordered Pho. The pho was ok, very oily. The bun Bo hue was not very good. No sausage, no beef, blood cake included. It did have fish cakes. I asked if I have ordered the wrong thing. She assured me I got what I ordered. Ok. As we left, we noticed a full on charlotte's web with a huge spider over a table. Crazy. This place is expensive, sub par food, definitely not worth money. Pho hung, go there, just down the street. read more

I've been going here for over 5 years now , love the food. Love to support a local business family owned. But over the last year the price of the food has gone up (understandably from the economy), but the portion went down significantly also. A dish I used to have for dinner and left overs for the next day, I know finish in one sitting. The ambience and cleanliness of the established has always been iffy but I excused it for a while because of the pandemic. But it hasn't improved. There's so much stuff and clutter, even the entry to the kitchen . It makes me pretty hesitant of the quality of the food and cleanliness of the kitchen. Side note: I also once found the end of a broken metal tool in my food when I bit on it. Thankfully didn't damage my teeth, but I did eventually call to let them know in a calm and respectful manner, and they basically didn't show any level of concern. I've only ever been helped from one person and she's always been so sweet and you can tell works so hard to help with cooking and serving . But it's very harder and harder to justify coming here for the price / quantity size and questionable cleanliness. read more

Russian ingredients. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Made to order. give the local business try!!

I haven't been here in a while so decided to check it out again. It's takeout only which is fine by me. I ordered the shrimp salad rolls, Panko shrimp and the egg roll noodle bowl. Honestly it's the best food I've tasted in a long time. The veggies are so fresh. Everything tasted so yummy! It's just the owner making the dishes so be patient. It didn't take very long.

Bottom Line: Awesome Vietnamese Fare with Nonexistent Service Got here at noon. Two other groups eating and no staff. Stood there for 5 minutes then one of the customers suggested we seat ourselves. Sat down and waited another 5 minutes, still no staff. Walked up to the counter and got some menus, picked our dishes and waited another 5 minutes before the lady came out of the kitchen with a take out order. Went to the counter, returned the menus and placed our order. Waited 10 minutes and the lady brought our order to our table. On the upside she was very nice and kind. Here is how the food scored... A1 Goi Cuon $4.50 - Good but not great. The cha siu was dry and tough 3.5/5 A3 Cha Gio $4.75 - Tasted OK but very little filling. 3/5 B1 Banh Cuon $8.75 - If you eat here, order this dish. OMG, it is fabulous. The crepe is so delicate. You won't find a better rendition of this dish outside of Vietnam. Tip: pour the dipping sauce on top of everything then eat it. The crepe is very delicate and the stuffing sometimes falls out when you dip it. 5/5 D6 Mi Hoanh Thanh $9.95 - Who orders won ton soup at a Vietnamese joint? My wife! ha ha - Another home run. The broth was to die for. Best won ton soup in PDX. 4.5/5 Finished our lunch and waited for the lady to come out of the kitchen. After 5 minutes, I went into the kitchen and asked the lady if I could pay my bill. She came out to the counter and I paid my bill. She thanked me for my patience. ha ha We would eat here again. Arguably, the best Vietnamese food with the worst service on the west coast. Check it out. Tip: If you walk in and there is no staff, go in the kitchen and find the lady. LOL read more

"Authentic" gets thrown around frequently on Yelp. I'm not Vietnamese nor have I been to Vietnam, but having lived in Westminster, CA (the largest Vietnamese community outside of Asia), I'd say there's very few venues that are more authentic than Hanoi Kitchen. They feature an excellent Banh Cuon, if you've never had it then opt for the traditional version. The menu is extensive, but don't confuse it with those at common Pho houses in Portland. One dish that was surprisingly missing is one of my favorites: Banh Kot (Google for an image.) Conversely, I was elated to see Bo Luc Lac ("Shaking Beef"); people are catching onto this scrumptious dish as I've seen it on many menus. The Avocado shake could have used a bit more condensed milk, but was still creamy good. Prices are more than fair. There's plenty of seating and parking is relatively easy. Service was friendly, albeit a touch slow. Hey, they offer this unique concept that might be foreign to some Portland diners: someone comes to your table and takes your order. If you want something else, they come back. If you ask for water, they bring you some rather than point to a self-service trough. And hold onto your Vietnamese dong on this next one: there's no signage where to put away your dishes, i.e., you leave them on your table for someone who works there to clear. I know right.

I did not have a very good experience here. The minute I walked in, you could tell the woman working inside was bored and didn't care to do anything around the restaurant. There were 4 dirty tables that stayed dirty the whole time while she and her husband sat at a table and talked and sat in front of their computer. No one gave us waters, and no one checked on us the whole time we were eating. There was no customer service at all, and we felt really ignored. I get it if you're busy and you're trying to accommodate a ton of tables, but there were three other parties of two, and that's it. The cart stacked high with dirty dishes looked like it had been sitting there for hours. With how slow it was, there should not have been that high of a stack of plates and bowls dripping soup to the floor. I ordered the Pho Hanoi, and it was standard. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. That's why I'm giving this restaurant at two-star instead of one. I was really disappointed because my boyfriend had wanted to try this place out. There aren't many Northern Vietnamese restaurants in the Portland area, and we wanted to try it out and see if there was any difference from Southern Vietnamese restaurants. When we went to Hanoi in April, there WERE such differences even with how they present pho, but nothing was special here. Super disappointed, please listen to customers and not treat them as if they were a burden. read more

It's hard to fathom why this place isn't regularly packed. It's an emphasis on Northern Vietnamese cuisine and everything I have tried there has been excellent. In an expensive food town, with noodle soup prices practically doubled since COVID, the prices are regularly at least a couple of bucks cheaper on entrees and again the quality and care of the cooking is top notich. The staff is laid back, but pro. Highly recommended. read more

It's usually not crowded, and I have no idea why since the food is so good. read more

Excellent quality and taste... and you can have the place to yourself in the evenings (usually just one person waiting tables, so be prepared for a relaxed, laid back experience)! One of the major things to love about Hanoi Kitchen is the balanced Hue style spice that they capture into their dishes, offering wonderful blends of savory, sweet, tart, heat, and umami. We find it a welcome change from the typical Pho spots around town. Many dishes have familiar main ingredients, but add a richer range of spices and fresh herbs. While Hanoi is more spicy than some, not to worry, this is NOT burn your face off heat! Instead, Hanoi's accessible Hue style is a welcome departure, fun,... special, without being overly challenging. We have had many excellent lunch, dinner and takeout meals here over the years. And... wonderful staff! During our last visit, after we finished and were paying, I noticed something interesting on the counter in a jar and asked what it was. He explained that it was chrysanthemum tea. My curiosity must have been showing, as he put some in a pot and began steeping it, just so we could try it. It was yummy and very calming, a perfectly zen ending to a spicy meal. read more

All of these years I've been meaning to try Hanoi Kitchen and finally have gotten to it!

Well the Bun Dau Hu definitely didn't disappoint! It had plenty of flavors not competing for attention, didn't make ya wither into a good coma after, and was a great price.

Short Story: An interesting Vietmanese place in a quiet area of Portland. Long Story: We came here for a friend's birthday and didn't expect too much. But we were pleasantly surprised at the decor and ambiance inside. The tall windows and ceilings provided a comfortable space inside. The service was also top notch and the chef made a special dish for me as it was not on the menu. I saw a Yelp picture and he was able to replicate it. I had tried to order a Vietnamese kaibi dish but they didn't have it. So the yelp picture was the next best thing. The service was superb with lots of coming over to ensure everything was good. The prices are pretty good too! Verdict: I'll be back the next time I'm in Portland. read more

Today, I came in to have lunch with my boyfriend around 12:45pm. I am not quite sure what I had because I basically told the waitress to pick something warm and soupy for me. So she did. It was really good! The first thing I was able to pick out from many of the different ingredients was the shrimp. The shrimp that they serve are not puny at all! I hate it when I go to a nice restaurant and they skimp out on their shrimp. Not here! Also, I had a piece of crab in my noodle. I knew it was not imitation crab because it still had it's shell! The soup base was very good- very flavorful! I was told they do not put MSG in their food (bonus points there). All the food entrees are under $7.00. This place does not mess around when it comes to using fresh ingredients and the food are made to order. How do I know? I occasionally make spring rolls at home and I know how the texture of the wrap feels when they are freshly made versus ones that have been sitting there for a long time. The rolls that I ordered was probably made minutes before serving. Good & cheap food. Fresh ingredients. [-] The only thing I would like to request is to have some pictures of the food they serve on their menu. (That's probably why I had a hard time deciding what to order- not knowing what's what). I saw many pictures on the website and they look really delicious, but I don't know what they are called. read more
