Amazing - authentic Vietnamese food, fabulous service and very friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely be back.
Awesome food, awesome staff. Recommend to anyone looking for good food and a great night out !
OMG what an experience. Food was out of this world and the service was 10/10. Best decision to just drop in as we had no idea where we were going to eat.
Absolutely stunning food & service. Delicious Mojitos 💞💞💞
BIG ++++++ for food & hospitality. Well done HH!
as good as the original down in prahran but with much larger seating capacity plus a slightly bigger menu. pho, hanoi style spring rolls, sticky pork pineapple vermicelli, pork hock, tuna rice rolls - all excellent
Went here after it reopened from covid 19, the food was great. All the staff members were incredibly lovely and it seems to be just a gorgeous work environment there
Food was amazing! Service was so good! Get in before 6pm and do yourself a favour and grab a watermelon spritz! Calamari and rice paper rolls were amazing!

While definitely firmly out of the traditional box, this inner city pho is by far my favourite. It’s the extra touches that make it special (eg fried shallots atop the chicken variety) and the flavoursome broth has a good depth. Had one last weekend (after getting home a little late the night before) and it was the perfect revitaliser. 3 different types of chilli condiments on offer (pickled all the way for me!). I couldn’t fault the wait staff either, the right amount of attention, but also not hovering or crowding us, very laid back vibes here. I had chicken on this day, but I’m also a huge fan of their beef!! Have never tried the mushroom pho, but am tempted as it looks very good. Reliable, well priced and excellent flavours.
The atmosphere is this place was great! We had a great time dining here and would definitely return to try out some other dishes. Highly recommend!

We visited HH last night for dinner and enjoyed the feed me menu which had a substantial amount of food. Some of the standout dishes were the kingfish ceviche (surprisingly I was okay with the heat level on all the dishes despite being a fair wuss when it comes to chilli) which was lovely and delicate and the betel leaf which was packed full of flavour.
I love betel leaf in general but I would never have ordered this one as it was mushroom and tofu, two things I dislike but it was actually delicious. The stir fried morning glory again I wouldn’t typically order but was truly flavoursome and really yummy.
The bbq chicken some at the table complained wasn’t cooked properly and fed this back to staff who returned the dish to us and said it’s sous vide (not sure if that means it’s okay that there was visible blood on it?!). Service in general were okay but there was one particular waitress, a blonde lady who was incredibly rude. We finished on a high with an extremely tasty coconut banana fritter

My Three Pointers
* Vibe is everything
* Food on point
* location is excellent
I visited before a Prelim finale at the MCG, once I walked through those doors I new immediately I made the best decisions to start our day here. The venue is walking distance to ground and when we discovered they had a bottomless drinks for42pp for 2 hours that just made things 1000 better. Excellent value and considering you pay $16.00 for a Aperol in Melbourne, it only made sense.
The interior is inviting, laid back, timber furnishings a long bar and the tunes are playing and your having fun before you even have a bite to eat.
Vietnamese tapas food options and we thought the food was quality, this place has momentum for a reason and I can see how it has become a favorite. It is also inspiring that non Vietnamese owners can bring such good quality, they must love Vietnam. The salt and pepper calamari was so good we also had sizzling wagyu with some morning glory stir fry, phu Cuan and yes I loved it all. The flavors will have me walking through those doors every time I go to the G.
The best part of our experience was the service. From the moment we walked in smiles from Melbourne to Vietnam. Such a fun, bubbly environment the staff have created and still very professional. Not sure of our waitresses name but she was amazing. Funny, friendly, helpful and made us feel so welcome. Did not have to request my drink be filled, did not have to call for attention. She was the best and if I get to see her every time I visit I will be over the moon. Thank you, even though Collingwood lost we had your restaurant to talk about.

✅ Recommended: Pork hock, Hanoi spring rolls, lemongrass chicken vermicelli
💬 Review: it’s always buzzing with lively chatter and happy conversations at this Richmond outlet, and it’s easy to understand why. Hanoi Hannah has a wide selection of drinks and treats. The music playlist is a mix between progressive and rap music, making it ideal for group meetups and celebrations.
After 3-4 trips here, I’ve discovered my favourites at this iconic place - the pork hock, lemongrass chicken and Hanoi spring rolls. I could go on and on about the Hanoi spring rolls but just order it. They are fried well and filled to be brim with an unhonestly unknown but delicious meat combo. The lemongrass chicken is also tender but full of flavour.
Their pork hock is gooood. While you are eating a big slab of meat, Hanoi Hannah added so many side dishes to go with it that it feels like you are having different experiences within a dish. There’s noodles, pineapple and lettuce wraps to keep your mouth busy. Quite enjoy the sweeter satay dipping sauce! My only comment is to bring wet tissues because the meal can get quite sticky! We ended the meal with banana fritters and coconut ice cream. Portions were big and the banana-coconut combo is classic and unbeatable.
Ultimately, there may be more authentic Vietnamese joints at Richmond. Where Hanoi Hannah NQ wins is in their ambience and unique interpretation of Vietnamese cuisine. If you ordered the right dishes and top it up with drinks, you are bound to have a good time.

We had been trying to get into the restaurant for a few weeks and finally got a bar seat straight away on a Saturday night. It was worth the wait! All of the food was so fresh but the highlight for me was the ceviche with the delish pineapple flavoured sauce.
Ordered a Mushroom Pho which was pretty decent for a veg broth. Rice paper rolls were decent but could have more punch in flavour. Everything was fresh and the place is pretty chic.
Some of the tastiest food you can eat, from begging to end. Great curries, awesome flavours!!! Sitting at the bar is always fun chatting and having fun with the bartenders
Went here before the football. I Barack for the mighty Richmond tigers. Id like to think that I’m a good supporter but my attendance is really poor and I never watch the games on television.
What a great experience! I dined here for a work outing and was very impressed. Our reservation was already ready when we arrived early and we were placed along the back wall so as to have some space but not be tucked away out of the atmosphere. I was also pleasantly surprised at the seating space allocated - there was no awkward elbow bumping or knee touching. Our host was very attentive, quick and efficient: easily catering to our dietary requirements. She also had a fantastic memory (it always impresses me when staff don’t write down your order and still get it right). The food was delicious! We had a booking of 9 (8+ has automatic feed me menu) which was very well priced and each dish scrumptious. My favourite was the spicy eggplant dish and the tiri-mi-sally (divine!) a strong Vietnamese coffee flavoured tiramisu that was at once very rich but very more-ish!
I would happily recommend and return.
We were really impressed with our experience at Hanoi Hannah New Quarter. We ordered a few dishes to share from their quite extensive and exciting menu.
The highlights were the salt and pepper calamari and the pork hock. The calamari was cooked perfectly with a lovely crispy coating. The salt and pepper had an added hint of kaffir lime which brought the whole dish to another level. The pork hock was well prepared with an amazing caramelisation. The meat just fell off the bone and was super tender.
Service was great so rest assured, we will be back.
When it comes to dining, Melburnians love new concepts, spawning a restaurant scene that’s constantly evolving. But we also love reinterpretations of places and dishes we’ve grown to love. . If a new venue wants to be successful in this city, it needs to offer some semblance of familiarity, whether that be through its dishes or its design or its associations.
This cuisine rates, hence 5-stars. The Vietnamese tastes were authentic, each ingredient was skilfully put together, and presentation were works of art. Service was respectful and helpful, explaining how to eat some of the dishes. And thank you for the water for the Cookie pooch.

Hanoi Hannah has almost been a Melbourne institution for some years now, and with this success, the trendy Vietnamese eatery is opening in more and more locations. The Richmond location is away from the plethora of happy go lucky Vietnamese restaurants on Victoria Street, and boasts clean and happy decorating, with modern Vietnamese food, and up beat cocktails.
Ordered the set for 2 people, filling for 2 ladies. Fusion Vietnamese that was tasty. Service was speedy and great. Friendly staffs who were willing to tell you what the dish is and constantly checking up on you.
This place really blew me away. Got seated straight away and service right away. A great menu which was explained and recommendations were on point. I thought the food here was exceptional. Everything was perfect for sharing, well cooked and so full of flavour. Thw sauces a highlight. This is up there as one of my favorites in Melbourne.
It was VERY TASTY with very generous portion - none of us could finish our bowl which was only the medium size. The only reason that I gave four star was the little bone that I bit into - A shiver down my spine immediately.
Bottom line: We will still love to go back. It was overall pleasant. Good value for money.
We went to HH for their two hour brunch special last weekend and absolutely LOVED IT. Not only is it amazing value for money, the food is spectacular. I can't believe I waited so long to go to this place after knowing the first one was great.
The Sunday service was also awesome and the drinks package wasn't like most places where you're crying out for another drink, they just kept rolling in throughout our meal.
Highly recommend the crab and lamb ribs - my two favourite dishes. Get around this for an awesome way to spend the afternoon!
A few days overdue but I must give a shout out to the restaurant manager Ash for his service and that of his team. Turned a difficult situation around and best of all, food was great. Will be back. Highly recommended. Cheers, Michael
This place is buzzing on a Saturday night. Came in here around six o’clock and it was packed. I ordered the mushroom pho which was clearly labeled as vegan which is always a plus for me. The menu here on Zomato however has not been updated with there new prices. The menu I received is exactly the same but with everything a few dollars dearer.
Everything we ate was amazing. SO many different flavours & so fresh. Waiters were awesome, so friendly. Atmosphere was great, busy and good vibes.
Overall - definitely recommend & will be back!!
Great place! We shared a bunch of dishes between 5 of us and everything was delicious. I loved the deconstructed pho rolls and the glass noodle salad. The spicy green curry was amazing too. Highly recommend.
Big, busy and bustling. Ultra cool and friendly staff.
Food is great - modern Vietnamese, served with a great selection of drinks... gotta love the tinnies of Aussie and Vietnamese beers.
The soft shell crab salad with apple and herbs was sensational; spicy chicken curry had a great delayed heat. The spring rolls were tasty, but not sensational. Similar to the beef ribs. Tender meat, but a bit fiddly, so not awesome.
Overall - well worth a visit.
The service here was great! Friendly and super helpful and they were extremely busy so it was great to see that it didn’t effect their customer service.
Food was delicious ... the pork hock is a must have.
Upon my arrival at Hanoi Hannah New Quarter I requested a table for two, which was not available at the time. I was given the option of sitting at the bar for the evening or waiting around 25 minutes for a table. I opted for the bar, which I quite liked and the seats were really comfy.
My friend and I ordered the Braised Sticky Lamb Ribs and Hanoi-style Spring Rolls to share - both were delicious and full of flavour.
For a main I ordered the Tender Beef Pho and my friend opted for the Sticky Pork Vermicelli.
The Tender Beef Pho was okay and the beef was cooked nicely, but overall it was a bit bland.
I tried some of my friends Sticky Pork Vermicelli and it was quite nice!
Staff were very warming/friendly and quick to rectify the error when the Chicken Vermicelli was brought out instead of the Pork Vermicelli.
I would definitely return again to try other items from the menu.

Absolutely delicious food from the newest Hanoi Hannah restaurant.
Situated in a great location in Richmond, Hanoi Hannah is serving modern Vietnamese food in a fun & fantastic venue.
Think big flavors bring fresh new flavors to some of your favorite dishes.
The roast pork hock rice paper rolls were next level good.

After seeing the ‘new quarter’ appear on Swan St Richmond and look so inviting, we had to try it! Having never eaten at a Hanoi Hannah before, we chose the feed me menu. Our favourite dishes were the lemongrass beef rice paper rolls and the beautifully fresh & fragrant chicken salad. While the feed me menu was a good way to go, we were a little overwhelmed by all the chicken dishes (we had 4!).
Overall, we really enjoyed Hanoi Hannah. A fun, modern take on classic Vietnamese flavours in a vibrant setting with lovely service.
Good option for a casual dinner in Richmond with a cool vibe. Staff were friendly and menu had a range of options to suit most tastes. Looking for a light meal I went for the salt and pepper calamari from the small plates section and the Chinese broccoli from the side dishes. The calamari was well seasoned and very crispy. The broccoli was standard but still tasty.
Hanoi Hannah's venue in Richmond is a variation on the other locations. Their dishes are fresh and flavourful twists on classic Vietnamese dishes. The service was truly incredible on my most recent visit. Staff couldn't have been more friendly nor attentive. I tried some awesome vegan and vegetarian dishes including the betel leaf starter (the flavour is slightly overpowered by pomelo but otherwise great), the papaya salad (no complaints), the veg curry (portion size could be larger but flavour and ingredients are perfect) and morning glory leaves (the best dish I tried by far). A Chinese donut is a must for mopping it all up with. Drinks were good and free flowing thanks to the venue's new boozy brunch option. Deserts were a great ending to a great meal - especially the soft, delicate but very caffeine-filled Vietnamese twist on a tiramisu. I'm still dreaming about it.
Went here and ordered a few different meals and drinks and was blown away. The food was amazing! Had some pho, calamari (which was some of the best I’ve ever had) and some pork belly (another amazing dish). They have an extensive cocktail list as well that was amazing. Shout out to our waitress Zoe, who went above and beyond in giving us amazing service. Truly blown away.
THE LA BEEF RIBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it, get them!
Wasn’t expecting to go out for dinner tonight but decided to venture in to Hanoi Hannah in Richmond. Obviously the beef ribs are amazing, melted in my mouth, was devoured in seconds! The pork spring rolls were tasty - a little bit more flavour in the dipping sauce would have made them perfect. Soft shell crab salad and china town fried rice were a weird combination to have together but they were both delicious. All in all not much to fault with our food. Service and atmosphere were great too. Can’t wait to come back!
This new Hanoi Hannah is hip and felt more like a restaurant as opposed to fast food place. The dishes are still priced reasonably and of great value. The pho cuon and the spring rolls are awesome. The beef ribs came off the bone easily and juicy. The chicken which is their "essential" dish was a little disappointing. It was pretty bland.
At times service is a factor only when it is exceptional or terrible. It is not absurd for it just not to be noticed, like children in the 50s. Service should be seen and not heard!
There are times where it can blow your mind. Times where you want to return because that compliment you received had to be genuine, or the charm of the maître’d was irresistible. Then there are the stories that you must tell even if it is focussing a touch too much on the negative, like when you witness a terrible car accident.
I’ll tell you about the car accident soon but first let’s look at the positives. Hanoi Hannah’s New Quarter in Richmond is irresistible like the figurative maitre’d I mentioned just moments ago. It is literally the old and the new for both HH and this building which retains its character, but is completely redeveloped on the corner of Lennox and Swan. The positioning is a real estate agent’s dream. Location, Location, Location!
4.5/5
Just opened but already busy place and I can see why. Food all seemed very fresh and was very tasty. The kingfish was really nice, calamari very nice as well. Lemongrass chicken first class and the standout was the LA style beef rib, amazing!! The pork hock main was tasty but a bit messy and not worth the effort, friendly and speedy service! Will be back.
Dined at the new Hanoi hannah for dinner last night with friends. Staff are very friendly and give good service. The food came out so quickly! Favourite dish was our starter as recommended by our waiter the pho cuon.
We came here after a footy game and had to wait approximately 15 minutes for a table. But boy, was it worth the wait! The layout and ambiance of the place was ultra modern and the staff were all attentive and friendly.
We ordered the Peking Duck rice paper rolls & pork spring rolls for entree and the Lemongrass Chicken and Spicy Lamb Curry for main. The food was clean, fresh and all round tasty. Compared to a lot of places where we have had similar food, Hanoi Hannah takes the cake when it comes to a flavorsome vermicelli dish (lemongrass chicken)!
For a place that is newly opened, I was very impressed. The vibes and service were great. Food was phenomenal. Highly recommend the pho cuon and bbq chicken.
The third Hanoi Hannah has arrived in Richmond and they’re serving up mouthwatering Vietnamese food as usual. They have some new stuff on the menu and it really hits the mark. They have a large open space and like other stores have a little express bar on the side so you can eat or pick up a quick meal next door. At Hanoi Hannah’s New Quarter there’s lots of delicious hawker style Vietnamese food to be had and you’ll leave there with a smile from ear to ear.
The legends at Commune hospitality group have just added a Swan Street Richmond joint to their plethora of thriving restaurants. This Hanoi Hannah newbie is a stunner – slick fit out alongside a delicious Vietnamese street food inspired menu including dishes you won’t find anywhere else like the chả cá - a Hanoi inspired turmeric and dill fish which diners cook at the tables. On the drinks front expect a succinct but good wine and beer list as well as cocktails which play on the Vietnamese theme.
Very unique Asian fusion. Quality ingredients, with great flavour and depth. Lots of options. Great for sharing! they were very nice and carefully explained all the dishes. Will return with friends!
The staff were very helpful and friendly, the ambient was great... Food was a tapas "to share" style and it trickled through to the table through the time we were there. I was hungry and the portion size was never going to fill me up and some of the dishes had the potential to taste as good as they looked but didn't. Refer to photos for menus and the dishes we ordered as well as the restaurant interior
Nice Vietnamese restaurant that serves up modern vietnamese food. We tried most of their dishes and highlights for me are the chicken liver tiger bread banh mi, chicken croquettes with laughing cow cheese and turmeric chicken.
The tiger bread banh mi had really nice crispy texture to it and I believe they also leave some crispy chicken skin in the pate itself.
Chicken croquettes were made with proper chicken pieces and the laughing cow cheese brought back some good childhood memories.
The turmeric chicken meat was succulent and tender.
Good balance of diner favourites and interesting fresh dishes at an energetic venue.
We really enjoyed the bahn mi fingers, which was a condensed flavourbomb of the classic sandwich, liver pate was great.
The beef tartare was tastily balanced combined with the anchovy tapioca crisps although perfectly fine without them also.
Other memorable dish was the whole roasted sole, with the seasoned crumb that worked really well with a well cooked fish. The only downside to this was needing some craft and attention to pick out the fillets without getting a mouthful of bones - something we probably only realised in hindsight might be more comfortable doing at home rather than in the middle of a busy dining room.
Would recommend speaking to the servers about finding the right amount of food to order. Service overall was really attentive and communicative, a step better than many places we've been to.

I was really excited to check out this place based on my fond memories of Hanoi Hannah in Windsor. The menu looked so inspiring I was cursing that we weren't famished enough to try the Set Menu and that we would be limited to a plant-based diet tonight.
We started with the Banh Xeo open pancake. I never knew artichoke and tofu could be this scrumptious! This was followed by a Green Curry of grilled Brussels, broccolini and snow pea tendrils. If you'd told me I would enjoy Brussels Sprouts I wouldn't have believed you, but this dish was bursting with flavour and a combination of textures that really appealed to us. I'm not sure about the Eggplant Schnitzel, which was so hard I worried about chipping my tooth. This was redeemed by the Banh Uot noodles which were so simple and yet so intriguing in its flavours.
Super friendly staff helped us with the menu choices and made us feel welcome throughout the night. The dimly lit interior and artwork created an atmosphere that's great for date nights. I would come back again to try the meat / seafood offerings and just avoid that Schnitzel...
This place is the goods! Had such a great time, very friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food is to die for! Had the premium menu for one and almost couldn't walk afterwards but every dish was on point. Hard to pick out an individual highlight as everything was so good!
