Went this place for the first time. I loved it. They play music from 9 o’clock until they close. The music is Deep House EDM and they play it loud and they have club lights going. If you’re into that kind of music, you will love it in there. We ate some salt and pepper, shrimp, and salt and pepper calamari with rice and a bowl of pho. So delicious. You can see by the pictures that it has a huge mural on the wall. That art was amazing. The service was really nice and they food hit the spot. For sure going back. Just image being at a EDM club and eating good food and hanging out. I was grooving while i ate.

The BEST Vietnamese food! We’ve been coming here for years; The owners are so sweet, awesome and friendly. They treat us like family. The ambiance is great, service is impeccable. The flavors are so rich and fresh. I recommend HaNoi Kitchen noodle for all of the foodies out there. No one else can compare

Pretty authentic and the service was friendly and quick. Suprisingly fewer people than we thought, which is fine by us!!
Nice pho noodles and the rolls were generous in size.
Would highly recommend

I was having late cravings so my son and I looked up restaurants near by that are open late. We found this place and it was not what we thought. We thought we were coming to a late night peaceful dinner but no- We actually had a Very upbeat dinner! lol… the food was tasty- and the music was vibing! You just want to get up and dance, lol 💃🕺 will definitely be back

This was my first visit to a Vietnamese restaurant.
I had the Banh Mi “Hanoi BBQ pork” sandwich.
Good > crusty roll, fresh veg. I added hoisin sauce, with was very good.
Bad > bbq pork had little to no flavor.
I ordered a Coke, which was served in a can ($3).
Dining area was clean and service was good.
I might be willing to try it again, but will not rush back.

First time coming here. The food was okay, but pricy though. They open late so that’s great! The atmosphere was interesting to say the least, they had Christmas decorations and baby Jesus, but they also played dub step and rave music. Felt like dancing then actually eating.

Don't watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, come to Hanoi at 8:55pm and experience it for yourself. What appears to be an elegant, cultural, and peaceful venue, turns swiftly into Claremont's most epic night club. Strobes, fog, and music so loud you'd swear Lil Jon was in the room. "Turn down? Pho what?" If you're thinking to yourself: "Well, this sounds like a fun dining experience!" you'd be much more prepared than we were. We made the mistake of asking our server - I mean DJ - to turn down the music just a bit. We couldn't communicate our order efficiently, but hey, no cover charge!

Pho isn't exactly a dish you can eat while head-banging to a remix of Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness. You'd just get broth all over you. Not to mention eating Banh Mi sandwiches without hearing the crisp sound of fresh bread is simply a sin. For these reasons, I won't be recommending another work-related dinner here. However, I do foresee a midlife crisis where Hanoi becomes a scratch to the itch of maintaining my youth.

Overall, the food was delicious. Needs more sauce containers at the table.
