Hanoi Café - Menu

Met friends of a friend for drinks at a very pubby pub The Owl and The Pussycat in Shoreditch one night after work and had a lovely time. However around when it became clear to me that drinks would not be evolving into food of any kind I decided t

kingsland road is a hard competition for Vietnamese food. this place looks like he has a makeover and it is much more attractive. for a Friday night I found the service very slow. it took one because to get our order as bill. but the costs for this place are cheaper, then the rest on kingsland road and the eating is still so authentic. I would say that this place is a good value for money.

my fav. from all places I tried along the königsstraße, I like hanoi caffe because it is cozy and easy. it does not try to be too hard to be something else....the quality of the food is on the same level as all other cafe-style places. I could even bring my own alcohol so it was a bonus. I love the young who run the place and I always recommend my friends here. I guess everyone has their own favorite spots and that happens, my

Cheaper than most of the other Vietnamese restaurants on the strip. However, my order of rice noodles with seafood was a little bland, and didn't contain much seafood. Portion was small too. It's a BYO, but the corkage fee of per person is somewhat steep. Corkage was charged for everyone at the table, regardless of whether they were partaking in wine and would require a glass Atmosphere was laid back and more bohemian than the other Viets on the Kingsland Road strip.

The food was delicious. I was pleased to see there wasn't too much choice (a huge menu is always a bad sign). I had the pho which was great. My friends had curries also delicious. Only downside the service wasn't very attentive. Took forever to bring us the bill and they didn't check up on us throughout the meal to see if we needed more drinks or anything. Really felt like we were fighting for the waiters attention which was disappointing because it wasn't very busy.

feel like I have to rewrite my review when I said it doesn't look good from the outside. that was badly written what I wanted to say is that it doesn't look like a fancy restaurent like the one with the annoying waiters (which are on the road). but eating is amazing though I always have the same dish, friendly staff. I hope I didn't insult her with my last comment. I couldn't live with myself. if the owners of my favorite review hated me apr, big eating great price very friendly staff. does not look like a big restaurent from outside in comparison to other restaurents on the road. but eating is great. good to try

We chose Hanoi Cafe because we hadn't made a booking and the wait at Mein Tay and Viet Grill was too long, this is not the best way to pick a Saturday night dining option. The spring rolls were big, nice, and freshly rolled, however the dipping sauce seemed a little wrong, it was dense, a weird cloudy brown and it needed more lime. The fried crab was ok but a tiny serving, which I guess for is all I should expect. It tasted like fried chicken rather than crab, the crabbiness was fried out of it I guess. The betal leaf with beef was disappointing, the beef tasted old, it was even grey in colour, generally flavourless and another minuscule serving. Mains We had the Grilled Pork Bún...read more

Hanoi Cafe is one of the series of Vietnamese restaurants at the beginning of Kingsland road, and I am afraid it is definitely not among the best ones. We chose this place randomly, thinking that the quality should be approximately the same in all of these places..well, not quite. Hanoi Cafe is substantially cheaper than the others, but the food is so mediocre, that you end up wishing you paid slightly more next door but ate something more palatable and safe. We ordered bun (rice vermicelli) with grilled fish with dill, however the fish came deep-fried instead of grilled, and with no traces of dill visible. There weren't any fresh herbs that almost any Vietnamese dish is traditionally...read...

Hanoi Cafe is quite under rated. It doesn't stand out from the rest. It was recommended on my recent trip to London by a French girl we just met who eats there often. It has a homely setup and nothing too fancy. The menu is quite extensive and there should be something for everyone. I ordered a hot prawn dish (discovered afterwards the rice was charged separately). I could definitely taste the chili in it, which was prefect for the cold night. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and was full of people who were regulars, based on what I saw and them knowing what to order. Our friend ordered a DIY dish where she rolled her own spring rolls with rice paper. It was a fun evening. Definitely a...r...
