3 Reviews on “Hanoi Old Quarter”
Nice little authentic Vietnamese family owned restaurant. A bit different as Viet Star. More likely street food and Vietnam fusion. We had whole duck with 5 Ways, really nice and full.
Hanoi old quarter in vietnam is one of my favourite places in the world to have amazing food. So i went to this restaurant in hawthorn with very high expectations but they were shattered pretty quickly as i tasted the broth of the chicken pho. Pho is one of my favourite dishes and i’ve had many different kinds.
I ordered a chicken pho and chargrilled chicken with rice.
Soup was bland, lacked flavour, lacked richness, chicken was not fresh, noodles felt undercooked. All in all it was a disappointment.
For me flavour of chargrilled chicken was the only good thing there. It was cooked nicely, combination of fish sauce and sugar gave the chicken that amazing flavour. It was a huge piece of chicken. But rice that came with it were not fresh. They didnot go with the chicken at all.
The interior was good and the service was quick as well but food was just short of average for me. It was 2.5 stars according to me.
Came here because this place has good reviews for Northern style Vietnamese food. As a test we ordered two signature Hanoian dishes and here is the verdict:
Bn ch: the grilled pork belly was okay. Grilled meatball was oily – and seasoning was not right because it tasted like my mums fried meatball, using frying pan instead of being properly grilled. Fish sauce tastes funny… kinda salty and off balance. Theres a bunch of raw bean sprout (???) and no lettuce. Im sorry that this review may sound harsh but I lived in Hanoi for 20 years and bn ch was my soul food – they simply did not do it right.
Bn thang: this Hanoian delicacy is hard to replicate, but to say Hanoi Old Quarters version was lacking is an understatement. While they nailed the soup, toppings were harshly prepared without much care and missed some important ingredients. The fried egg should never be brown. Ham (gi) should have been thinly sliced. Strange bunch of herbs instead of simple green onion. Where are dried radish, dried shrimp, mushroom and the shrimp paste? And it was served with a basket of more herbs and raw bean sprout – like the places that serve Southern style ph and claim to the authentic Hanoi style.
I left with such sadness. These are the two dishes that I would always order from Vietnamese places to test their quality, and its safe to say I wont come back to Hanoi Old Quarter.
