About Hanoi Bistro
On East St in Southampton, Hanoi Bistro is a Vietnamese restaurant serving a menu of pho, banh mi, and lemongrass chicken alongside spring rolls and summer rolls. Bun hue appears in both spicy and special versions, and fried rice and chicken wings round out the order sheet, with chili oil offered as a condiment on the side. Lemon ice tea is available to drink. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with table service once seated, and arriving before peak hours generally means a seat without a wait, though the room is small and can fill up. Payment is cash only, with bank transfer accepted as an alternative since cards are not taken. The restaurant keeps its toilet clean for guests using the space during a meal.

Customer Review Summary
Pho draws the most mentions, with reviewers describing a warming broth with good flavour and tender beef, and one calling it their favourite pho restaurant in Southampton. Close behind are the summer rolls, described as fresh, packed and tasty, and the spicy king prawn and special bun hue, which several single out, one pairing it with a side of chili oil. Also named are grilled pork com, ban xeo, lemongrass chicken, a chicken banh mi, fried tofu and lemon ice tea. Diners describe good portions, reasonable prices and food that arrives quickly. The one criticism is from a reviewer who wanted the mint, spring onion and bean sprouts served separately, as in Vietnam, to add themselves. Another notes there is no halal menu, though some dishes can be customised. Servers are called lovely and kind, and one reviewer says the summer rolls took them back to their trips in Vietnam.

“Summer roll was fresh and packed and very tasty! The pho was warming and had good broth flavour but would have liked items such as mint and spring onion and the bean sprouts separate as in Vietnam to add yourself. My son’s lemongrass chicken was really flavourful t”

“The venue is convenient. The food tastes great, we ordered Pho Tender beef, grilled pork com, summer rolls and Ban Xeo. The portions have satisfied our hunger. Bring cash! They have toilet and it's clean always. We keep coming back when we don't want to cook at home. We came an hour and a half before they close and there's not many people, I know for sure at peak hours they're full.”

“I’ve been here twice now, once on my own and other with family. I’ve ordered the spring rolls, spicy bun hue (king prawn 1st time, chicken 2nd time), the food is absolutely delicious. My brothers othered the fried rice, chicken wings, squid rings and my mum ordered the pho, all said it was very tasty and delicious. The service is great, the servers are so lovely and kind, and the food waiting time is quite quick. Deffo recommend to anyone looking for some yummy Viet food in Southampton.”
