Cafe Hanoi

Unclaimed

Had our first dinner here while visiting Auckland for the first time and it did not disappoint. It’s a lovely atmosphere, very inviting and warm. It’s lively but still quiet enough for you to easily have a conversation with your table mates. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Be sure to ask them for recommendations. Plates are meant to be shared. The prawns are a must for a starter. They are a wonderful blend of taste and texture. Another stand out was the fish of the day - cooked to perfection and had dill on it! Everything we had was wonderful. It was a memorable meal. I would definitely return.

Great food, good service (waitress knew exactly what to recommend and didn’t miss). A bit pricey but still worth the experience. We all shared the tiger prawns, paper rolls, beef bbq wraps(?), and then got the chicken thighs and beef skirt for mains. Also followed up with a doughnut, brownie, and egg Vietnamese coffees. Didn’t need to eat for a while after….

We had dinner with my wife's family In cafe Hanoi a few weeks back and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff was really engaging and the dining setup was impressive. The food standout for the Taste, presentation and Verity of different dishes. I would love to come back again next time while we are staying in Auckland.

Come for take away, but let me tell you this place is luxury and crowded so prepare your clothes and make reservation! Prawn fillets with young rice battered is the star (I was surprised with the sauce - a bit thai sour and spicy flavour which brought a nice balance to the deep fried dish). Fresh paper rolls were okay. Good tight rolls with a hint of pine apple - very south Vietnam flavour. Good choice. Banh Hoi, on the other hand, was not as expected. Beef skews were bit too chewy, and not much bánh hỏi. Good side it had good fish sauce and good amount of veggies. 3 dishes for $76 - can't complain when you choose fine dining in auckland cbd, so prepare your wallet. Staffs are super nice. Crowded but they all move smoothly and fast.
