Welcome to Hanoi Viet Eatery
Our goal when we first opened was to serve Vietnamese food the way it should be: soulful, fresh, vibrant, and heartfelt. In order to create a menu that feels like home to some and a delectable discovery to others, we have incorporated traditional family recipes and street food favorites.
What distinguishes us? We don’t cut corners. We spend hours simmering our broth. We personally select local, fresh ingredients. Additionally, we give every dish we serve our whole selves.
The Dishes We’re Proud Of
Our menu reflects the food we grew up eating and the meals we now love to share with you. A few highlights you don’t want to miss:
- Phở Hà Nội – This isn’t just soup. It’s a slow-simmered masterpiece. We build our broth from beef bones, charred onions, ginger, and a symphony of spices to create that deep, aromatic base. Add tender beef slices and fresh herbs, and you’ve got a bowl that feels like a warm hug.
- Bún Chả Hà Nội – Grilled pork belly and patties, paired with vermicelli noodles and a tangy fish sauce dip this dish is all about balance. Smoky, sweet, salty, fresh.
- Bánh Mì – Crispy baguette, smooth pâté, crunchy pickled veggies, and your choice of fillings like lemongrass chicken or house-made tofu. It’s a lunchtime game-changer.
- Cơm Tấm – Our broken rice plate with grilled pork, steamed egg, scallion oil, and pickles is comfort food, Vietnamese style.
Everything is made in-house and with heart.
