Pho Thin Hanoi Vietnamese Restaurant

I can't believe I had never heard of this place! I came here with a couple people and we ordered a variety of things - broken rice with short rib, broken rice with pork, and the ha noi special grilled pork vermicelli. The broken rice was super yummy and those orders came with a bowl of good soup! The Ha Noi Special was expensive but it was super filling and had a variety of meat. Service was pretty quick and they also have a parking lot which made it super convenient! I will definitely be back to try more things.

Got pho with beef balls and rare beef 5/5 Clean broth, lots of noodles, lots of meat and the meat tasted gingery. Really delicious Bbq pork broken rice plate #56 I believe 5/5 Huge portion, everything was great. Their home made chili was incredible Honey wings 5/5. We left the bones clean lol Literally all the food was so good. Been trying to find a good pho spot in the east bay since moving out of San Jose and this one is definitely at the top of my list.

First time at this Vietnamese restaurant serving a variety of dishes including Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho. The owner, Anthony took our order and explained they differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs and sauce. With an extensive menu I decided on the #78 Hanoi Special Grilled Pork Vermicelli ...the owner said "it's a special dish we used to only serve on the weekends"...it's similar to bun (rice vermicelli salad) . DIFFERENCE: :: Herbs - no cilantro or the standard mint but shiso (tía tô), and fish mint (diếp cá) with lettuce for making a wrap. The herbs have a stronger flavor and a slight fish taste. :: Vietnamese egg roll (Nem Rán) - made with rice paper (vs wheat wrappers) which the owner says a brand he gets from Vietnam...filling of pork AND crab meat :: Dipping sauce was less sweet and more like a broth Savory grilled pork (thịt nướng) and pork patty (Bun Cha) were both flavorful and delicious with noticeable garlic and tad of sweetness. Accompanied by rice noodles, julienne cucumber and pickled carrots and daikon. A refreshing and delicious dish and will get this over the Southern style vermicelli on a next visit. Place is casual but clean, spacious with friendly, welcoming and helpful service. I recommend the #78 Special Grilled Pork dish that's hidden under the Special - Egg Noodle - Pasta section (4th page of the menu). Pricing is in line with other like places but Pho Thin Hanoi is very generous with their portions that you'll have leftover. Friend enjoyed her chicken bun, Thai iced tea and the wings were nice and crispy! Plenty of lot parking
