    Lovely environment and friendly staff. The presentation of the food is really nice. The flavor of the food, however, is rather disappointing. We had four people and ordered the banquet with a wide range of food. The only thing that I kind of enjoyed is the fish. Coming from an Asian country with a British family and living and working in the UK for many years, I would say this is Asian food with western taste, very different from my impression of Vietnamese food. I noticed there weren't many Asian people in the restaurant at the start. I didn't like the food but my British family were singing the praise of it. I found that the food was overly salty and the flavors were not well balanced. I had a great time because of the fantastic company but don't think I would come back anytime soon...

    Amazing food! I absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back. Staff were helpful, nice and I would highly recommend. Thank you! Beef Pho and the shaking tofu are the main courses we had (pictured)

    Having been here a few times (at least 4) now I can say the food and service are fantastic. I’ve mostly had the banquet option to get a variety of the dishes and have yet to get something I didn’t like. The waiting staff are always friendly, welcoming and make time to chat. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

    Great space and loved the exterior but the Pho didn't blow us away, tofu was too hard and uninspiring drinks menu. The vermicelli noodles and daikon cakes were good though.

    The spicy chicken was very salty. Phos were tasteless and not authentic at all. Beef was chewy and stinky. Staff was friendly.

    Delicious chicken pho. We got level 2 and it was spicy enough. We added extra noodles for £1. The chicken was delicious and not game-y. The area is so-so. They only had pho available from the menu to order at 3pm but nothing else. Inside look dark and not very welcoming because of a strange smell. Delicious pho!

    I’ve never met anyone that has had a bad word or a complaint about the food at The Hanoi Bike Shop. The food here is phenomenal and I love every time I come here. We had a great time. Thank you.

    Some of the best Pho I've had since living in Hawaii. Huge portions for an amazing price, staff is super friendly and there's a reason you need to book because they're busy for a reason!!! I don't have pictures of our food as we ate it so quick, the pork shoulder skewers and pepper tofu were incredible. I had chicken pho at an 8 spice, perfect to give you a tingle with the flavor still there, husband had beef pho at a4 to 6 and he ate almost the whole bowl. It was so hard to choose just one dish, but this is definitely a new favorite spot!

    Good environment, friendly staffs We came during lunch, it is quite busy, there’s plenty seatings indoor and outdoor. I recommend the baby pho and banh mi combo, the portion is more than enough for one person. I didn’t love my pho, i ordered the spicy one and its a bit oily. But banh mi is definitely worth a try! It has an egg and meatballs and salad between a bagel looking bread, it is tasty. Really nice vibe as well.

    This is my second visit to Hanoi and we were a bit disappointed by the service last night. My first experience visiting Hanoi with my wife was great and we loved the food and had good service. I raved about it and returned last night with my mother and two brothers. We waited ages for a drink. The food arrived and the waitress spilled the sauce over the table and wiped it up with a napkin. The food was delicious but the most disappointing part of last night was the staff were obviously harassed. They rushed from table to table and the stress ruined the ambiance. This is no criticism of the staff but they were unable to contain the pressure of how busy it was, and this spilled over to the atmosphere. Hanoi is a really great restaurant that is at risk of losing custom as the staff are literally run off their feet. It was unpleasant to watch and ruined a lovely return experience. Our food came to £119 for 4 so an extra member of staff may have just changed the atmosphere last night.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Vietnamese restaurant, and I must say that the experience was exceptional. The beef pho soup was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the tender slices of beef were cooked to perfection. It truly captured the authentic taste of Vietnam. The sweet and sour crispy pork. The pork was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, perfectly balanced with a tangy and sweet sauce. The flavors danced on my palate, leaving me craving for more. It was a culinary masterpiece that showcased the chef's skill. The traditional Vietnamese coffee was a delightful blend of bold, robust coffee and sweet condensed milk. The smoothness and richness of the coffee paired wonderfully with the sweet notes of the milk. It was a delightful way to end the meal. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the waitress, Breagha, for her attentive and caring service. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was exceptional. Her knowledge of the menu and her warm demeanor added to the overall enjoyment. Overall, highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying Vietnamese dining experience.

    came here with my girls and omg first of all, the green beans dish was to die for we ordered an extra portion just to bring back with us would definitely recommend that. i ordered the red dragon as a main and wow was just amazing especially the rice cakes, i wish the portion size was a big bigger because i honestly could have 20 of those rice cakes they were so delicious!!! staff are also super friendly and lovely, especially the girl with short hair and glasses (sorry didn’t ask for her name) she was super lovely!! overall was a great experience :)

    We literally stumbled upon this place and went for it. So glad we did. I forgot to take a picture of the food and just ate it all! I had the pho with the homemade tofu and purple egg, my friend the caramelized chicken. It was absolutely gorgeous 🥰 and the feel of the place is amazing.

    The food is really great, and we had a good time at Hanoi bike shop. This place is a hidden Vietnamese corner in the city, and the furniture in the inside is very accurate. We had two traditional Pho (pronounced fuh, as in "what the pho..?!' XD), and imported beers. I'd recommend this place. Cheers

    Food was pretty good but not mind blowing. Tofu is definitely worth trying and was unique. Food will come out as they make it, so some folks may be waiting. Also room is small with not really comfortable seating for such a wait.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
