Crema's Take

Hanco's is a wonderfully unpretentious Vietnamese spot in Brooklyn that nails the essentials—their grilled chicken banh mi wins genuine raves for flavor, and the service moves fast without cutting corners. Beyond the sandwiches, they've built a loyal following for bubble tea that hits the mark, particularly the coconut milk tea with mango jelly, making this neighborhood fixture equally beloved for both quick Vietnamese bites and specialty drinks.

Hanco’s is one of those unassuming neighborhood spots I’ve ordered from a few times for delivery and finally decided to visit in person. The space itself isn’t the tidiest, but that honestly fits the laid-back, no-frills vibe. You order at the counter and bring the food to your own table — it tells you exactly what kind of place this is. We ordered two bowls of classic pho, and the flavor was amazing. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the portions of meat were generous. It’s the kind of comforting bowl you crave on a cold day. We also grabbed a matcha latte pick-me-up, and you know it’s legit when they ask you where you want your matcha sourced from (I went with Fukuoka). That attention to detail was a pleasant surprise. Overall, not fancy — but flavorful, comforting, and absolutely a place I’d come back to again.

Not a bad Vietnamese place. There is a weird kind of funk inside, but the sandwich itself was a solid 6.5/10. It was tasty, but I’ve definitely had better. I got the classic bahn mi, but perhaps a different protein would have been better? Pricey for the quality. The bubble tea was tasty. My thai tea was a bit over-steeped so it had a bitter aftertaste. The taro tea was regular as usual. Service was great though! We came before closing time (without knowing they were closing), but they were very kind and gave us our drinks and accommodated to preference for half sweet and light ice :)

I don’t usually give five star reviews, as I am pretty picky. Today I ordered takeout, and was suggested by the cashier to order the grilled chicken Bahn Mi. The flavor did not disappoint! You can choose to get no spicy, mild, or spicy. I decided to get spicy, and although I feel like it could’ve been more spicy, the quality of the sandwich made me look past it. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the veggies were fresh and crunchy, and the bread was also fresh and toasted perfectly! Will be coming back to try their boba next! (Excuse the photos these were the best I could get)

The food and speed of service is great- I got nothing but great things to say about the place except for this one experience that am now commenting about. Sanitary and hand washing procedures absolutely lacking. While seated in dining room- I’ve observed tea making server literally picking their nose and flicking it around while in conversation with a mate and proceeds to continues to service drinks without having washed their hands. This can be a one off- by no means am I trying to deter service from the place. Rather I hope management can see this review and take proactive measures to redress this disgusting behavior.

Pretty nifty place overall for bubble tea. Food: bubble tea quality comparable to other bubble tea places. The coconut milk tea with mango jelly was delicious and refreshing. Service: typical of a bubble tea spot—pay, wait, called to collect bubble tea. Atmosphere: cozy spot. Looks nice.
