The Hanoi Bike Shop in Glasgow City

I’ve been here on a date for food and drinks. The staff were really friendly and helpful. There is outside seating on a sunny day which we enjoyed. The food was really good and fairly priced. The drinks were very strong (we had a few different cocktails) but still very tasty, and very fairly priced. It is a super cosy vibe which was great for a date style atmosphere, they also had 90s indie type music playing which I really enjoyed. I would definitely go back here and highly recommend.

Went here for a birthday meal yesterday, the server was literally so nice, great vibes in there and the food was awesome.

The place STINKS of wet dog. So strong I worried my clothes would smell of it. Menu sounds lovely but we couldn’t stay and eat here, I couldn’t enjoy my food with that smell and I’d worry about the hygiene of the kitchen. People had warned us about the smell before we went, but we didn’t think it could be that bad so thought we’d try it. We left and went elsewhere sadly.

I always like to try anything new on the menu. This time I tried the vegan tofu with coriander & Pak choi. I didn't really enjoy it although it was well prepared. It just didn't work as a dish - only reason I give it a 3 star on this occasion. I wouldn't order this dish again However all the other foods were great, and atmosphere is fab.

Change your hours. Says closes at 10 which is incorrect

I love this place! Superb Vietnamese food and lovely staff. Had been a couple of times over the years but it’s definitely now become my new favourite. Portions are generous.

The bad smell of feet/wet dog is unbearable.

Fantastic food and good service. Only annoyance was that we asked if we’d ordered too much and were told it was fine. It was way too much (we are all fairly big eaters). The portions are generous so order cautiously and add more as you go, if required. Peanut and chilli dip is back to its tasty OG recipe. Delicious.

I used to be a semi-regular when I worked on Ashton Lane 2012 - 2016, however our visit this evening was utterly disappointing. When we walked in, no one was there. No staff. No customers. Then we were hit with the strong smell of dog, which we were later advised by the 1 staff member when did he arrive was the fish sauce. If your fish sauce smells like dog, you shouldn't be using it! We considered leaving at this point. We had in fact just been offered to order drinks when we raised the issue with the smell, and the staff member proceeded to leave before taking our drinks order after our criticism. We went on to order 1 bowl of chicken pho and one of bike shop tofu and mushroom pho, both level 4 spice. We then witnessed the 1 same staff member assemble it behind the serving counter. I've never known an establishment to ask it's servers to act as chef as well. We both found our dishes bland, and the chicken in particular tasted old, as though it was being reused and reheated, and did mention we were unhappy to the 1 staff member, who to his credit did ask if we wanted anything else, but at this point we just wanted out of there. After swallowing what we could, we asked for the bill as soon as we could. A 2nd staff member has appeared to take our payment. She seemed polite enough. I couldn't quite believe the price for the quality of meal we had however. £42 for 2 bowls of sub par pho with 1 extra and 2 drinks?! The quality does not match the price. Do not waste your time, money or calories here. A shadow of its former self.

Incredible as always! Fantastic service, unbelievable food and unique setting. Loved every minute. Can’t wait to go back again soon. A definite must if visiting Glasgow!

Our family visited the Hanoi Bike Shop again yesterday after a few years' absence. The three of us were seated downstairs. In short, we had a wonderful dining experience. However, there are a few things that could be improved. I'm not sure if it was just a one-off, but it seemed like there was a staff shortage. The server had to juggle greeting new guests, seating them, and serving the tables. Years ago, the steak we had here left a lasting impression on us. With that in mind, we ordered two portions of medium-rare steak. Despite being one of the most expensive items on the menu, it was the weakest dish on the table. It was tough and overcooked, closer to medium-well than medium-rare. I think it was rump steak. Although the sauce improved the flavor a bit, we weren't very happy with it. On the other hand, the fish cakes and the chicken and mushroom dish were excellent. Finally, and I don't think it was intentional, we ordered prawn crackers, but they never arrived. We didn't remind them, but they were added to the bill. It was a small thing, but it was corrected immediately when we pointed it out. The staff weren't the most cheerful, but I understand the stress that staff shortages can create, and I attribute it to that. All in all, we had a very enjoyable family meal. Considering the price-performance ratio, I think it was a success. 4/5 stars.

Great meal - really tasty food and the service was fab. Will definitely go back

Was there with my family last night. Hadn’t been for a decade but won’t be back. The first thing that hit me was the overwhelming stench of fish sauce upon entering the restaurant. My wife had the mushroom grill dish which was one mushroom cut into four slices and an enormous chunk of kimchi- should have been a starter and wasn’t worth £17. My daughter had the pork belly and it was also tiny. My son and myself had the design your own pho, it was tasteless and neither of us could bring ourselves to finish it. Don’t come here if you have ever been to SE Asia as you will be disappointed with the quality, portion size and value for money. We won’t be back, should have gone to Ka Pau.

Food and service were great but Sunday lunch didn’t attract many other diners. The room was also slightly chilly.

Visited with a friend on a weekday. The food was tasty and the staff were very friendly. Bonus was when the bill came and they were doing 50% off for January! Only negative is the smell is a bit off putting when you walk in the place.

Excellent food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere! We will be back! 😀

A favourite of ours. Great food again last night. The Pho and wok fried greens were great as usual..

Food was good - not blown away but will say the pork cheek was very nice. We opted for the banquet as we aren't top picky, we got 2 starters, 2 mains and a side dish between us for £60. Wouldn't quite call it value for money looking at what we got but it was enough food. Guy at the table next to us got Pho and it looked really nice. We were in on 2nd Jan and service was a bit slow but looked like they only had 2 staff on. Cool place inside but small so make sure you book. Music was in point that day - early 2000s punk rock/emo 😆

Staff and food were nice but the smell of the restaurant was VERY off putting. Was tempted to leave before even being shown to our seats it was that bad…… Staff were very nice and friendly. Food was good but could have a few more veggie options other than Tofu…

Tasty, authentic, food! Good menu! Great pho! 😃

Everything but the tofu pho was great - I had about 9 small chunks of tofu with soggy breadcrumbs falling off them in my bowl. At that price I expect better.

One of our favorite restaurants in the world. We will come back every time we visit Glasgow. The flavors and textures and spices add up to culinary genius. Thank you.

The king oyster dish with the home made kimchi was one of the best things I have ever eaten.

If there is a female clerk in the store, don't come. The portions are very small, half less than usual. I will not come to this store again.

Was in here a few months ago, and we enjoyed it. My daughter was there today with her boyfriend The chicken she was served was raw. To be fair, it was replaced and deducted from the bill, but there is absolutely no excuse for a restaurant to serve a customer raw chicken.

Disappointed after a much anticipated trip to Hanoi Bike shop. We had previously heard good things but don't think this place lives up to the hype unfortunately. We had one tattered paper menu between 3 people and waited over 40 minutes for our Pho dishes while the table next to us, who entered after us, were served quickly. The food was good but bland, lacking the zest and flare a good Vietnamese should have. For these prices we expected much better things. Sadly, an underwhelming experience.

Dined outside here years ago and it’s definitely gone downhill. Also the smell of feet which hits you at the front door is horrendous. We were asked upon arrival if we had any dietary requirements and we asked for a gluten free menu. Server said no problem and brought us to our table. 10 minutes later we were greeted by a different server who asked us what we wanted and we said we were still waiting on the gf menu. He said no problem and disappeared then continued to serve other tables at which point we had to chase him up and remind him we needed the gf menu. He said he’d forgotten. When he finally brought it we asked how to interpret it as it was a little confusing and he admitted he didn’t know for sure and disappeared again to check with a colleague. This was understandably not great. on the surface the place looks well curated, but the upstairs bathroom was pretty filthy, and I cut my hand on the flusher for the downstairs bathroom. There’s rustic, then there’s a real lack of care. Considering the service and odour - which I’m told is a special fish sauce but smelled horrible, and I say that as someone who likes fish sauce - the place is definitely overpriced. The temple tofu was very good, as were the chicken thighs, but other items like the potato cakes weren’t worth the price point. My partner and I have been together for a while and had a laugh regardless but I feel bad for anyone going here looking for a romantic evening.

I went to the Hanoi Bike Shop for the first time in a couple of years and was very disappointed. I remembered it as a great eatery with good quality food for good prices, but it seems like things have changed quite a lot recently. After 30 minutes of waiting and multiple staff telling us they’re were looking for the allergen menu they were finally able to bring it to us. Apparently there’s only one allergen menu for the entire restaurant. I ordered pork belly and potato fritters for a total of £27 (18 for the pork belly and 9 for the potatoes). As you can see from the pictures the cost vs the amount of food I received don’t really seem to match. While the pork belly was absolutely amazing, it’s simply not enough to feed an adult. The fact it came with two vegetables didn’t do much to satiate me either. There were 5 (five!!!!) potato fritters!! For £9?! I wouldn’t even have minded if they had tasted good, but they ended up being incredibly bland. They didn’t even taste of potatoes… I have no idea how you can make something like potato fritters not taste like anything 😭 What happened to this place? When I got home I was still so hungry I ended up making myself a sandwich.

Attended with a party of 3, and I have to say I had one of the best dining experiences that I have had in a very long time. Gorgeous tasting Pho, made with clearly fresh and high-quality ingredients, at a very reasonable price. The cocktails were lovely too. I ordered a coconut espresso martini, which was the best espresso martini that I have had before. The wait staff were lovely and very accommodating to common allergies, and can provide an allergy matrix ahead of time to your visit to make sure that you are ordering the correct dishes. Excellent work, and it is a very short walk from the subway, so I will be 100 percent making the effort to come back in the future. Well worth the trip into Glasgow.

This place is fantastic!! So tasty and authentic. The vibe is cozy, the staff were attentive and friendly and the food was out of this world! We had the wok fried greens with water chestnuts, black pepper tofu, vegan pho and sweet potato fritters. Really big portions too so good for sharing or hungry peeps! The menu had loads of vegan options on and many items that could be made vegan too. Highly recommend if you’re in Glasgow. You will not be disappointed.

Great family meal out, very tasty food, good service, would definitely recommend

The vegan pho was so good!! Full of flavour and satisfying too

Really enjoyed the chicken pho, highly recommend.

Kitchen seems to be far too small for the number of covers. Front of house staff left assembling pho at the pass. Hard-working staff deserve a premises upgrade!

Amazing banh mi!!! We had black pepper chicken banh mi and popcorn prawns —- so tasty and just the right amount of zing to get the mouth tingling. The portions are healthy as well!! One suggestion: the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk could be stronger. Amazing to find authentic tasting Vietnamese food in Glasgow.

A taste of Vietnam in the west end of glasgow . Small authentic menu served in a traditional style restraunt. An Asian Oasis in the bus west end.

We and another family waiting for 15 mins and the staff did not even have the courtesy to let us know what the issue is. Rude! Just goes by name so maybe overconfident.

Asked for no chilli in our food, it all came with chilli, the sweet potato fritters where burnt and dripping with the they had been fried in. The butter chicken was lovely, but the broth had chilli's in it so couldn't eat the rice.

The chicken pho was really nice. The service was good although there was only one waitress so she was rushed off her feet the whole time. We sat inside but the stools didn't have a back so a bit hard to sit comfortably for a long time.

Had a really lovely dinner, we got beef and tofu phos which were both delicious! Huge portions too. Tofu was a little tough though, must’ve been sitting out too long. Staff were very friendly and helpful, only issue is the benches are quite uncomfortable to sit for long periods. Edit: came back and had the temple tofu and sweet potato fritters which were amazing! The portion of tofu is huge and so delicious. Definitely the best tofu I’ve had.

Dishes prepared with care, fresh food. Finally a good address in Glasgow!!!

Relaxed, friendly and efficient service... amazing food!!

Visited recently after walking past a few times and thought it looked nice! We were seated at an outside table with stool chairs and no back support, I had a plant right against me the whole time which was a bit distracting. I did notice there is a very strong smell but I understand it’s due to the fish sauce. The glasses were dirty and had lipstick around them, as well as the small side bowls which I wiped clean. We ordered Pho which was nice enough, light and refreshing! The portion sizes are giant also :) However their spice levels are not accurate at all- their “level 5” is barely even medium. As a positive the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Have not been for a long time. Table felt a bit sticky. The pho is tasty, but too much soy sauce.

What a great place for food. Quality and tasty. Could not ask for more. Had the banquet as we couldn’t decide on what to have. Excellent

Had a lovely meal here on a sunny Tuesday evening. Food was so delicious! it comes when its made, meaning you get your food delivered at a staggered rate. Our server was super nice, and gave good recommendations, which is always appreciated. There’s plenty of good options and tasty, flavour packed dishes - vegetarian options were fab. Satay tofu was definitely our favourite dish of the meal. i’d say come here for a lovely vibe and some tasty, light dishes - oh and a yummy, hot vietnamese coffee!

I went alone on a Thursday evening, the place was busy with lots of people sitting outside and inside. When i went in the waitress was rushed but took the time to acknowledge me and find out what i needed, table for 1 inside. She seemed to be on her own and was super efficient. She gave me a table around the corner with a few tables and occupied by couples. I appreciated that i wasnt planked in the middle of a busy restaurant. She then asked if the table had enough light for me to read the book i was carrying, which I assured her there was. I ordered the wee mussels and sweet potato fritters, a glass of pino grigio and when she brought the wine she asked about my book. The food was delicious, fresh and full of authentic flavours - I was even eating the micro greens to get that holy basil flavour! I will definitely be back, alone or with friends.

good food but very bad service. The staff including the management are entitled and treat you with no respect or kindness. We were sitting there for hours with our young child, to be served, while there were two large groups who arrived after us and being served before us. The only explanation is that they saw a bigger bill and served them first. When we pointed it out, there was no apology, instead the answer was that we don't know how difficult the hospitality industry is.

Went once a few years back and the food was nice there! Sat outside that time. Went on a Tuesday a couple of weeks ago and sat inside. There is a distinctive unpleasant smell as soon as you enter the restaurant. Also food wasn’t as good as the first time. Service was very slow as only one waitress was present. Wasn’t as excited this time as my first time experience.

Food was amazing but the guy who served us was really unhelpful.

It wasn't very big inside and it was also warm and stuffy. The server was friendly, but we still had to wait a long time for the food. Fortunately, the food was delicious and especially spicy.

Went for dinner. Food was delicious and the portion sizes were really reasonable, particularly for the price. We even had good enough weather to sit outside!

My wife and I visited Hanoi for the first time since the change of ownership. We were frequent visitors before the change. Sadly, the experience was nothing like it used to be. No more board specials and a much more restricted menu. Most of the food served was average but, on a positive note, the service was friendly. The Vietnamese coffee served was shocking - watered down and pretty close to undrinkable. We won't be back. Such a shame as it used to be one of our favourite destinations.

Yummmmy food which was well seasoned and generously portioned. I loved all the tasty vegan options, especially the homemade tofu! All of that for a super reasonable price, although it's a popular restaurant in the heart of west end. Would recommend!

Went for lunch with my kids on fathers day, there was a rather off putting smell when you first walk in, not sure if its the cooking or a blocked drain! Only downsatirs was open and the seatings was a bit ramshackle, and where we sat wasnt particularly confortable. However the staff were very friendly and the food was good, had a satay dish and the Lychee limeade was top notch. Would go back.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here over half term. Service was very friendly and food was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Booed a table for a Saturday night. Service when we arrived was fantastic and we were shown to our table. We quickly got drinks and then were given time to look at the menu. I opted for the seafood Pho. I feel like I could have gone for a higher spice but the food was delicious. I tried the beef Pho too, also amazing. Staff were friendly and attentive. A great night.

Took over 25 mins, I think the wait staff forgot about me. The pho tasted non-authentic and beef tasted spoiled / off. Should’ve said I don’t want to pay!!! Also viet ice coffee is instant and so watered down. Worst viet I’ve ever been to which is a shame as location and venue is so good!

Great food. Try the greens as a side.

Beef pho doesn’t taste like real authentic pho.

Atmosphere was nice on a sunny day, enjoyed the location away from the busy street. Unfortunately the food was not as nice as we had expected. Very fried taste and not flavorful or fresh as Vietnamese food usually is. The peanut tofu was ok, but not the black pepper tofu. Dankon? Potato cake disappointing. Cocktail was nice but beer was flat. Rice noodles salad was nice. Mehh. Too expensive for what it was

After many recommendations, we visited recently and were somewhat disappointed. The smell of wet dog inside the restaurant was our first concern, however the service was excellent and food portions were generous. Even after asking for no spice, one of the dishes was very hot and difficult to enjoy, only because we don't like spicy food, however, probably due to red chilli's in everything. My main bone of contention was the cost, £4.20 for a CAN of coke zero was a rip off and for that reason including the above, would not return and felt a little scammed to be charged such an amount for a soft drink Twice. Total bill was £85 for two course for 2 people with drinks.

Very cute restaurant, our server was incredible and the food was delicious 🥰🥰🥰🩷🩷

Good but not brilliant food. We ate there Friday 26th April and were greeted by a strange and slightly unpleasant smell in the restaurant. It's an open kitchen so it's probably just a build up of diffreent food smells but we found it quite off putting. The food is good, we had a mixed greens, 1 beef Pho (level 4 hot), a tofu Pho (level 3) and 2 small plates of fish cakes and sweet potato fritters. It was all nice, nothing wrong with it, just not particularly memorable. The staff are great, really friendly and attentive and it's definitely quirky. I'd recommend it, just don't expect fireworks food wise.

We sat outside on a sunny day and had pho. The broth was delicious and all components were beautifully put together...very good indeed.

Chilled friendly service. Loved it.

Very friendly staff, very attentive. Good selection of authentic food on menu with very reasonable prices, quite busy when we were there but service was excellent. Will re-visit and recommend

Fantastic spot off the main streets with a cozy atmosphere. Food was delicious although it is more on the expensive side, still well worth the visit

Very disappointing experience, after all the hype this turned out to be an inauthentic, tasteless hipster joint instead of a proper Vietnamese restaurant. We tried several menu items, but aside from the banh mi (which was good) the rest was just a comedy of errors. Shitty satay (bad sauce and presented in a bowl, for maximum discomfort when eating), lifeless pho (avoid the pink cabbage) and gross fish cakes made for an expensive and unsatisfactory meal. The ambiance is sort of nice for five minutes, but the tables are small and make for uncomfortable seating, the toilet is more like a diorama of a toilet than an actual toilet and the whole place is hot and unpleasant. In other words: either get your Banh Mi to go, or just avoid this place altogether.

I’ve now been to Hanoi Bike Shop three times and each return was worse than the last. On this occasion the food was fine, the drinks were alright, and the service shocking! The dishes come as and when they are ready, ok, but an hour for what is effectively noodle soup to be served is just ridiculous! By the time my meal arrived everyone else in our party had finished. It also took the server twenty minutes from being seated to offer us a drink. Embarrassingly poor service. I could have forgiven this (maybe) if the food had been good but it wasn’t, it was fine and fine isn’t what you want when eating out. In short, there is a Tesco around the corner selling pho kits. You’ll get your dinner quicker and it will be just as good.

Was served by Jareen tonight and she was so so lovely! The food was amazing with really good veggie options, and jareen being so smiley and kind really made the experience worth it :)

Excellent food, especially the seafood pho with the delicious squid. Service very friendly. Great value for money.

Cocktails are really good! But food wise, it's an mixed Asian restaurant. Hardly vietnamese

First visit but will be back. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice laid back atmosphere. Really tasty food and big portions. Particularly enjoyed the chicken satay and the pork belly. Chicken pho with purple egg was excellent.

Visited for lunch, during a trip to Glasgow last week. WOW! Absolutely delicious from start to finish, the “best tofu in Glasgow” certainly lived up to its name, in fact best tofu I’ve had. Beef pho was full of flavour, and the chicken satay was Devine. Great location and vibe, with Fantastic service from Jareen!! Thank you for a wonderful visit!! Highly recommend!! (I will be dreaming of the tofu for a long time!)

Disappointing experience. Very lengthy wait between arriving and finally ordering a drink. It was explained that the food would arrive as and when it was ready- this concept only really works with sharing plates, not when you are encouraged to order a starter and a main. For us, it meant again a very lengthy wait between dishes. Half the party had finished their main before others had received their first dish. If it had been explained that they were short staffed, we would have understood. However there was little in the way of an apology or any explanation. We only were afforded the opportunity order a drink once, meaning a long time waiting for dishes with nothing to drink. We won’t be back.

I've been here twice but now wouldn't go again. The first time was good (though it was after a couple of drinks) but the most recent time was really disappointing. We both had the vegan pho, but the tofu tasted stale and was cold in the middle. The coating wasn't crisp and felt almost bready. It seemed like it had been sitting around for a while before being put in the soup. I raised this with the server - which I never do, but the tofu really was so bad - and they said it wasn't crisp because it was in the broth. I've eaten and cooked a lot of tofu in my time and wasn't convinced. This did not taste like tofu that has recently been crisp but had soaked up broth, not least because it had a stale texture on arrival. We were also waiting around for a while after coming in through the door, which was confusing and almost made us go elsewhere, which we probably should have done.

Came here for dinner with my lovely family and some friends. Great dining experience, not only is the food good but the restaurant has a beautiful rustic atmosphere to it. Price wise the Hanoi bike shop isn’t cheap but considering what is served its more than worth it. If they charged less they’d be at a loss as far as i can tell they use top class ingredients only. Obviously having gone in a large group i spent more than i normally would, but even said that its still very fair. Anyway would highly recommend. Its fantastic!

Delicious food - so flavoursome. Loved the lychee limeade. Would really recommend.

First time here and will be back. Really tasty food, I had the sweet potato fritters as a starter and then the satay chicken.

Excellent meal. Fresh, spicy flavours and generous portions which represented great value. Served promptly by friendly staff. Really great.

Would not recommend and will not return. Unbelievably overpriced and portions are very small. They also operate a "your food will arrive when it's ready", which resulted in eating every dish one after the other - nothing arrived at the same time. We also had a voucher to use, however due to an ongoing promotion, the staff could not add our voucher in conjunction with this. Even though the table booking asks for the voucher code online, we were not informed about this at any point until we asked for the bill. Poorly handled by staff who couldn't have cared less about the situation.

Excellent and eclectic food - street food and pho Lovely attentive and informative service Interesting cocktails and mocktails Portions are very generous and healthy Catering for all tastes and appetites for spicyness Relaxed atmosphere Pork nuckle with Jasmine rice was lovely

Our first time trying Vietnamese food with their 50% pho & pot & grill meals. Really yummy food & great value at 50% off! The steak bavette was a little underwhelming, needed a bit of rice or something for the price. The beef pho (I got extra noodles & an egg) & the ginger caramel chicken were really good! Loved the food, not much atmosphere inside which is why I rated it quite low on atmosphere. However, a good spot for a cold day!

50 per cent discount. Exceptional value x

This is a lovely small restaurant with a real buzz. The food is superb, so flavoursome and portion sizes generous. Will definitely return.

"You won’t find tofu like ours anywhere else in Scotland " Partner booked it for our anniversary, we got there and got told they don't have tofu today 😂 The disappointment when you're vegetarian and got hyped up for that "best tofu" in Scotland. After driving ages from the other side of Glasgow and wasting petrol. Doesn't take much to either post it on Instagram story or email customers so they don't waste their money on fuel. Especially that a lot of people would be coming for that tofu. Definitely put us off trying this place. Anniversary date ruined 😂 The smell in there was very off putting as well. It was awful. But the boy that talked to us was very lovely and I completely understand that it's not his fault that the place that prides itself in their tofu, doesn't have any. Definitely 5 stars to the boy. He was trying his best to come up with recommendations of where we could go instead.

Amazing food and service! The waitress is as extremely helpful in choosing the best food for my husband who has oesophageal cancer and has lots of food restrictions. Thank you very much! Place highly recommended! 💙

Wow, great food and atmosphere! We will be returning to sample the rest of the menu! I had Caramel Ginger chicken which was amazing and my wife had a spicy beef dish. In truth, we ended up sharing each other's plates.

Excellent food, great taste, good options for spice level, good service

We were very taken with the Hanoi Bike Shop. The staff were delightful and the food excellent. The menu was quite wide and varied and we were very happy with the choice.

Food was delicious and Angus amazing . Also what a pretty perfect lane to be on

4 friends out to try the banquet menu which didn’t disappoint! Lots of varied dishes with plenty of food, each one was as fresh and delicious as the next. Really not sure why this place has had some bad reviews, we were very happy customers.

The chicken satay alone was worth the visit, the food was superb.

Located in the hipster enclave. Had a light lunch of their fishcakes. Was pleasantly surprised at how meaty and springy the fishcakes were (other establishments add too much flour and fillers to cut costs and they end up hard and rubbery). The fishcakes were panfried and crispy on the outside. Friendly service. Industrial/rustic/Viet decor. An enjoyable meal.

I really loved my meal hère. Thé beef pho IS delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked and it was neither too spicy or too bland. Thé staff was incredibly polite and hardworking. However thé bench closest to the bar IS too high relative to thé table meaning you have to eat hunched over. Also theres a very particular scent in the restaurant which IS very noticable when you first arrive.

Delicious pho, gluten free dishes are clearly labelled and there are a few options

Had an anniversary meal here and ordered the banquet tonight. The food was ok but the amount of food we got for £60 was not enough it’s called a banquet but it’s half a main and a couple of starters. Poor quality and disappointing.

Had been about ten years since visiting Hanoi Bike Shop. It’s in a great location down a little lane and has a cute interior, good music and service was not bad at all. The food was that kind of British-Vietnamese fusion and was just OK. The prices are absolutely extortionate however. Steer clear of the fish cakes in the street food menu as £13 for 3 measley potato smiley sized salty fish cakes is a complete and utter rip off - that’s what you would expect to pay in Chelsea or Knightbridge, not Glasgow. Mains from the 'grill' menu hover around the £18-20 mark and are relatively filling but again the overpowering flavour is of salt and not much else and don’t feel there is value for money here. I haven’t tried the pho but have heard it’s good… maybe that’s where I went wrong.

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.
