Hanoi Café - Menu

Fantastic vietnamese in kingsland roadCame here as song que was crowded, but from now on this will be my first choice.

Good food and reasonable pricesService is smiley and friendly but a little slow (but it is expected since they are mainly old ladies).

Family run business with great food. Compared to other Vietnamese places it has a really extensive menu with a great range of dishes. All dishes really tasty. Very clean too.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs! The food was mediocre and bland, the service was awful, and the prices were far too high. With so many other great dining options in East London, there's no need to waste your time or money here.

The restaurant is quite expensive, the portion sizes are not very generous, and the food lacks flavor. The photo of the spring rolls displayed 4 on the plate, but only 2 were delivered. At £6.40, it is quite steep. The food was also delivered late and not very hot. Overall, very disappointing experience.

We ordered a vegan pho for takeaway and were disappointed to find that it had no Shitake mushrooms as advertised. This was especially disappointing as it is one of the few vegetarian/vegan options on the menu. The vegetables in the pho were limited to boiled broccoli and carrots, which was not very exciting. The pho itself was tasty, but the absence of mushrooms definitely brought down the overall experience.

Hundreds of pound spent and they still tried to squeeze money from us. Tonnes of hidden fees on top of the £4 corkage (we were aware of as this was the cost of bringing your own alcohol) which meant our large group paid almost £50 extra on top of this they charged a discretionary 12.5% and a large group 12.5%, the corkage was included in the food bill so is also subject to the service charge. This is before they asked for a tip on the card reader which may make you think that you hadn’t paid a service charge. Came here for a friends birthday, large group of people. The food was good, service was okay they just need to be more transparent with the pricing.

I have visited this restaurant before and have always enjoyed the food, so I brought my friend for lunch today. We started with drinks and a tasty starter, but our enjoyment quickly turned to horror when we found multiple insects in our tofu vegetable pho. The staff did not apologize and instead became argumentative when we expressed our reluctance to pay for the meal (they insisted we pay for the drinks and starter). Despite acknowledging that mistakes can happen, the lack of apology made this visit a negative experience. Additionally, we observed some waiting staff preparing vegetables in the dining area, which seemed unusual and left us questioning the restaurant's practices.

I was having a birthday weekend and had booked to go to my favourite noodle bar. Turned up and it was closed, so had to look for an alternative. We walked around a little and found this place and took a chance and went in. It was absolutely the best decision we could have made. We ordered noodles, Caramelised Pork, Chicken Wings and vegetables in Ginger. The pork was melt in the mouth and the wings crispy and seasoned just right. The chicken Noodles were so good I found it hard to stop eating. We topped this off with some Sake and the evening's feast was complete. I cannot fault this place, if you want delicious food, great company (our waiter was funny and charming), then this is the place...
