Reviews for HanSan Vietnamese Restaurant

So so. What if I were a Vietnamese? Might say they have little flavor and herbs. Might say the broth has almost no taste and the lemongrass chicken so greasy.
Nice portion enough to make us full just with a little more than ten bucks. Might be great…I should not complain…
But still, I love to eat authentic Vietnamese. One I had in Takapuna Market tasted better.
So if you don’t mind it arranged for something Korean or Chinese, this could be a nice place. As many taste as people.

Went last night for the first time in this branch, used to go to the other 3 in Glenfield, Panmure and Newmarket before and always came out full and happy. So I thought why not give this one a go since I can found a parking nearby. Had beef curry last night for my dinner. Came out as not even close as what we called curry. The soup was bland, there was no coconut cream as what I used to have in the other 3 restaurant. Genuinely got confused and checked with the menu if they mistakenly gave me another dish. Double checked with the waiter and he brings my dish back to kitchen and even checked it with the chef. And still they told me that it was the one I ordered. Very disappointing since on top of the bill still got to pay for the parking and the food is not even close with what I’m expected to come. Definitely will not coming back.

I would not normally write a review but this was so bad i want to warn people so they don’t make the same mistake. Does not even resemble Vietnamese. The food had zero flavour, no use of herbs and vegetable few and far between. We had lemongrass chicken salad and lemongrass chicken soup. The broth was bland, the chicken was dry yet fatty and the bits of chicken floating in the soup were very suspicious looking. The salad was some old grated carrot, wilting iceberg and a heap of noodles, no flavour, no herbs nothing typically Vietnamese. Very disappointing experience since the restaurant is modern and clean. Will not be returning.

Like the rest of the Hansan chains, they serve amazing rice noodles and I have never been disappointed. Their food is always good and the portions are decent, which is probably why they always have lots of customers. Hope they continue the good work
