Reviews of Cafe Hanoi
L.Returning to an old favourite can be like slipping on your lounging clothes at the end of the workday. Assuming you’re going to work, rather than working from home in those lounging clothes as we all have for many months. You know what to expect and you know how you’re going to feel. Favourite restaurants are great to return to if you’re looking for the reliably good experience that you know well. Sometimes, though, old favourites can be even better than remembered.
This was our first visit to Café Hanoi since they moved into their larger digs, in the space once occupied by 1885 bar. The room has the same design aesthetic as their former location, but the extra space creates a more expansive feeling.
After being enthusiastically welcomed upon arrival, I remembered that Café Hanoi has always had exceptional service. Information appeared to be discreetly passed between maître d, server, and other wait staff so that service is personalised, and you feel like everyone wants you to enjoy yourself.
The menu features modern takes on Vietnamese classics and is designed to share. Dry aged kingfish from the raw section was the star dish, with the perfect blend of tangy sweet and sour flavours, and without overpowering sweetness that is common elsewhere. Crumbed prawn balls had a lovely lightness that played to the fresh flavours wrapped inside a lettuce leaf with pickled veges, fresh herbs and chilli mayo. Café Hanoi have always had beautiful squid and I can confirm that it is still lovely. Delicate, without any chewiness, the dish has a nice chilli bite and lemongrass. Green beans with shiitake mushrooms were the perfect fresh greens to round out the meal. The only dish that disappointed was the Hanoi-style grilled pork, nuoc cham and rice noodles. It wasn’t a bad dish; it just didn’t stand out as much as the others.
Café Hanoi will remain an old favourite and we will return when we’re after fresh, tasty flavours with the most welcoming service.
D.Friendly and professional service. Food came out very promptly. Great flavours. The crispy duck pancake was the star for us.
M.Had a great meal here. We would recommend. The fish was amazing.
S.Dined here several times, this time as a group event. The wait staff were delightful, very thoughtful and made sure everyone was well fed and had their drinks topped up. The space was cozy and intimate - it did get quite warm with the number of people in there. Lighting and ambiance was also great. The food - delicious and lots of it! Did not skimp on the salmon or duck in their rice paper rolls.
N.Amazing lunch, we went for the banquet deal, $60/pp for 5 of us, and it was expertly balanced. The starters, the salads, the food options - everything was divine, and better than the previous dish! Good alcohol options too. It's clearly been too long since we'd been, so definitely will be back again soon!
K.Amazing fusion Viet Namese cuisine great atmosphere. The food used fresh ingredients with multiple layers of flavours: sweet, salty, sour with irresistible aroma. The presentation is impressive and service is immaculate. The only downside is parking which can be trick at downtown.
s.Delicious! I can’t wait to go again.
H.Amazing food and service!
Highly recommend the dry aged Kingfish, pancake and donut!
J.Awesome place and good food. Can be a bit busy sometimes.
N.Staff were attentive and made us feel comfortable. I like the suggestions of how to eat our courses. Being seated by the window suited us because we got a cute vibe but bougee. I especially loved the pandan roll dessert.
