The pork wontons were flavoursome packages of goodness, swimming in a rich broth and surrounded by plenty of vege and pork slices! The serving size was great, so fantastic value for money, and the wait time was decent šŸ˜Š

Hansan is a oriental Vietnamese restaurant. Itā€™s located near Albert Park. We went to Hansan because the price is reasonable. We went there at 3pm. We went with 2 classmates, and were greeted by the friendly staff. The inside of the store was decorated like Vietnam. It was big and clean inside, and thereā€™s space for a group of guests to go there. We ordered 2 rice noodles and an egg noodle dish, and the food was delicious and fresh, tasted healthy. The quantity was enough. The noodles were served very quickly. Our Japanese friend said it smelled a little spicy, but the taste was not spicy. The price was not expensive. The beef rice noodles and beef egg noodles were $13.50 each, and the chicken with lemon grass & rice noodles was $15. I want recommend the chicken with lemon grass & rice noodles, because the lemon grass was sweet and sour.
This restaurant would be good for someone who want to try Vietnamese food for the first time.

A long established fast food chain well known for itā€™s Vietnamese food. The interior is clean and fairly new.

Friendly and prompt service. Great variety on the menu and the staple (i.e noodles, rice) are interchangeable.

The Raw Beef Pho was fresh and nice, the noodles are quite soft and easy to chew. The meat however was slightly tough.

The Lemon Grass Chicken Vermicelli was very delicious, the chicken were excellent flavored, crispy on the outer and tender in the inside.

All food have excellent portions, and were served to our table within 5 minutes.

I really enjoy this Vietnamese place. I've been to the one located at Lynn mall and the food is super delicious. The curry chicken rice noodle soup is my favourite, really flavoursome, tasty and quite spicy too! Never disappointed when i come to this place.

The joy of eating at hansan starts the moment you walk in the door. You are immediately greeted by a majestic waterfall, signifying the freshness you are about to experience. Then attentiveness and professionalism of the wait staff will astound you, COMPLETE MEMORISATION OF THE MENU. No mistakes. EVER.

The tea is thermo nuclear hot. Just when you think it will have cooled down, you pour a new cup, but boom still boiling hot. Thermos baby.

Then your food arrives and you are blown away. Amazing flavours amazing smells, trust me.

Classic Vietnamese go-to in Auckland, Hansan has made a name for itself as a tasty, affordable and efficient restaurant.
All dishes are incredible affordable and most certainly fulfilling!
Iā€™ve gotten soup dishes, noodle dishes, stir fry dishes before. Most recently I tried their Stir-Fry Beef with Vermicilli; partner got Raw Beef Glass Noodles. Also got pork rolls as an appetiser.

Food rolled out extremely fast. My beef vermicelli was deliciously fresh, flavourful and fulfilling. The pork rolls were good too; the lemongrass sauce definitely enhances the flavours and freshness of them.

It set us back by ~$34 and we left satisfied.

I love Vietnam style rice noodles! This place is known for their chicken with lemon grass on rice / rice noodles. They are really good indeed but my partner and I tried something else this time. The wonton noodle soup was satisfying to my partner and my beef& tomato noodle soup was nice too. Prices are reasonable.

Good service as you enter the store. The quantity and quality of the food is decent (one of the main Vietnamese dishes is Pho, and it was pretty tasty and filling). The soup couldā€™ve been a tiny bit less salty and less flavorful as Iā€™ve just came back from Vietnam and it tastes quite different over there. This makes it more ā€˜refreshingā€™. The price isn't expensive and the restaurant is fairly clean and roomy. It's what you would expect for a casual dining and affordable by university students.

Had the shrimp and pork summer rolls, love it! never had one with pork inside so it's definitely a first time for me. I shared the Pho Tai Chin with my friend. It wasn't as rich as i expected. But the noodles were nicely cooked and the beef were smooth too. Service was good, we got tea and water as complimentary. The restaurant itself was nice and chill.

Not the best service (you will need to go up and order), however decent food at a reasonable price! The rice noodles in the beef and tomato broth is very tasty! I also recomment their satay chicken! As for desserts the sticky rice coconut cream taro dessert is sure to please! The red bean coconut cream drink is a bit of a hit and miss - sometimes the red bean tastes off (like they have kept it for too long) and they put too much ice in it.

Damn this place is packed! At least it was when we arrived for lunch a while back. It was my first time at Hansan so I didn't really know what to expect. I reckon it's pretty good bang for your buck because one word; Big portions! Perfect for the cold, rainy nights when you dunno where to go for dinner and you wanna fill up a big appetite. Their menus make it easier to visualize before ordering and I really wanna try all their soups. They all look soo good! We throughly enjoyed our meals which were filling and plentiful in flavour. Will be back for sure!

We went to Hansan for lunch during a trip to Auckland. Its a popular place for students and professionals and during lunch can be quite busy. I really liked the lemon grass and chicken with rice. The chicken was tender and cooked well with lots of flavour. Their customer service was friendly though a bit slow as they were trying to cope with the lunch rush. Overall pleasant experience and I would recommend to anyone visiting or looking for a good Vietnamese place in Auckland.

Today was my first time coming to the CBD branch, since I usually to go to the one in Newmarket. I ordered the Pho with Lemongrass Chicken, and my friend ordered the Pho with Pork chops. Pricing is reasonable as our meals were $13.80 each. Our food came in five minutes, which was awesome. I was so hungry, I couldn't stand my stomach grumbling! The food itself wasn't salty, because the one in Newmarket is reallt salty. Portion sizes were reasonable, as I was so bloated at the end. Thumbs up, Hansan! Vietnamese food is another great asian cuisine to try.

Tried this place on my very 1st night in the city of Auckland. I was craving for vietnamese food. To me the overall food here are OK. But not so OK if you compare with some famous Vietnamese Restaurant in Melbourne or Sydney...
Maybe for people that live here this could be one of the best Vietnamese Restaurant (judging from the crowd on weekdays during dinner time).
However, for a city as further as Auckland, I'd give a discount on my ratings...
this should be one of the excellent delicacies.
And the price is affordable too.

While this Hansan branch may be tucked away, you don't want to miss it!Hansan is the ultimate in cheap and cheerful restaurants and is perfect for large groups. Incredible tasting vietnamese food, decent sized menu and crazy low prices - all dishes are under $15 I think! Be sue to tryĀ the shredded pork summer rolls, spring rolls and peanut satay chicken.

Good simple food at an affordable price. The menu is quite varied (great for groups) but primarily Vietnamese. Ordered the egg noodles with pork ribs on the side. Both done well, the broth with the egg noodle soup was very nice. Quite a large portion.

The interior is a lot nicer than many other eats around the same price, so that's a plus. A good place to go for a weeknight dinner when you're stuck on ideas for where to eat and after something casual and consistent. Service was excellent.

This is a great cheap place to eat! I've been to Hansan so many times and I do find myself enjoying my meal. While i Ā wouldn't say they're food is authentic vietnamese food, it does the job of satisfying a vietnamese craving at a very reasonable price. My go-to order is the lemongrass pork on vermicelli noodles with salad and it tastes so good and is so fulling! the chicken pho is also really good (especially with lemon!!) and i fully recommend try the cha gio, which are these deep fried heaven rolls!!! I enjoy how fast the food comes out also, the worst thing is having to wait forever for your food to come out while you're starving, but this is never a problem here. The service here is ok and i will definitely be coming back for more!

This is probably my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Auckland. Service is friendly and fast, the restaurant has a great atmosphere, and the food is very good! In particular, I love the pan-fried pork/chicken with lemon grass on rice. They also have a wonderful range of delicious Vietnamese desserts and beverages - I try a different one each time, and have loved almost all of them so far. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service that you get.

Affordable and decent food. I always head here after work for a bite to eat because I love the C09 dish (Stir Fried Chicken with Vermicelli) and the B15 (Stir Fried Beef with Vermicelli). I also ordered on a number of occasions, the wontons. They are tasty!

Doesn't seem like the owners or workers are Vietnamese but this isn't a big issue. They serve me complimentary jasmine tea with my dine-in purchases which I particularly like.

There is a guy that works there that I usually see when I eat, looks late 20's. He is very friendly with me. Well done my friend!

The place is well maintained and is kept tidy. The music is random, no common theme to the playlist but they seem to play modern music that everyone seems to hear on the radio. Changes the vibe slightly but doesn't affect it too negatively.
I would recommend a visit to this restaurant if you haven't already!

Actually this restaurant is quite hard to be noticed. However, it is a nice cheap restaurant with bright, fashion design. Seems like it is operated by Korean rather than Vietnamese though.

The food here is one of my favourite authentic Vietnamese eats.
The flavours aren't lacking and the portions are large for the mains.
I always order P10: Pork Spare Ribs on Rice, or B01: Pho Tai. It's just like how mum would make it.
They have great service and the decor and hygiene is very consistent across the branches and of high quality.
I would recommend this restaurant.

I have been here so many times! I came here for dinner tonight and it was still pretty consistent in terms of service and food.

This place was very busy when we came in, were greeted by a waitress who was carrying meals out to other people dining there. We were seated quickly and tea was brought out to us fast as well. The tea was served in a metal flask which kept the tea nice and hot throughout our entire meal! This was a nice change.

I ordered the raw and cooked beef pho tonight (pho tai chin) and Jessica ordered the wonton soup. Our meals came out very fast: within ten minutes! I thought this was good considering how busy it was! My soup tasted good! Not as authentic Vietnamese as other restaurants that I've been to however. The portion sizes are huge as well. I usually never manage to finish my noodles, but tonight I did! I probably would order the completely raw beef pho next time because the "cooked" beef that came in this one had fatty bits in them which I didn't actually eat! Jessica really liked her soup and wontons, but couldn't finish her meal.

I also ordered a grass jelly drink with coconut cream and Jessica got the longan drink. These were really good!

Because of Hansan's prime location and close proximity to uni, I most likely will be back soon!

Not authentic vietnamese food for sure but it's not bad.

I personally don't like their noodle broth. It tastes artificial. I like the range of noodle choices for each noodle soup.

I get the vermicelli salads and beef stew noodle soup. Definitely better than their noodle soups in clear broth.

Our go to place for quick tasty and spicy Thai in the CBD not to mention very reasonably priced. My usual due to the flavors is the 'Bun Thit Ga Uop Xa Chein'. The broth is excellent. The thinly sliced vege and sprouts gives this dish a crisp and crunchy experience. The chicken is usually cooked well and plenty of also. I almost always leave a bit in the bowl as its very filling. A lovely lunch especially through the colder months that won't leave you out of pocket, will keep you full till almost dinner time and delights the taste buds.

After the renovations, which merely increased the back-of-house area because the customer sitting in the extra seatings at the back of the restaurant actually were disadvantaged by the waiting staff neglecting them. Ā Not any more. Ā The new staff were very attentive and efficient, even when I only ordered raw beef soup noodle because I wasn't dining with my family. The beef noodle shrunk in size a little, which made it easier for me to finish my dinner, not too sure how it would fare if I went there with my family for sharing, though I probably won't because lack of free parking is still a concern.I asked for the beer and wine menu, but they said they had to reapply for the license because the on-license lapsed during the renovations. Ā It shouldn't be a problem, but I understand ifĀ it can't be reissued. Ā Some customer complained about the lights being too bright as I was leaving, but given that Kitchener Street is a dark alley outside of Albert Park, the bright lightings are actually needed for security reasons more than anything.

I went to Hansan for dinner on a cold, rainy night, the prefect weather for a steaming bowl of noodle soup. We ordered the fried chicken wings with lemon grass to start and the curry beef stew with fine egg noodles and combination beef noodle soup and a lychee shake. Service was incredibly fast. The chicken wings were nice and crispy with lots of lemon grass. Both main dishes were tasty but the curry beef stew had the edge for me. Tender beef pieces in a flavoursome spicy soup. My dining partner however preferred the beef noodle soup, different preferences I guess. The meals were very large and we didn't actually finish them, definitely great value. The lychee milkshake was also delicious. I will definitely be going back to Hansan.

I walk past this place all the time on the way up to uni but finally decided to check it out for lunch.

Was not disappointed ! Ordered deep fried spring rolls as entrƩe and chicken lemon grass vermicelli as a main.

Spring rolls was crispy! vermicelli was light and pretty filling !

Only complaint would be that the food took awhile to come out but understandable as the place was packed.

Summary: Hansan is a refreshing change from the limited selection on Kitchener Street. Price is good but the atmosphere is fun, unique, and the staff is mostly friendly. It is definitely worth stopping in when you have a few extra dollars and want a break from the standard meal on queen st. I'm a regular and frequently bring out-of-town visitors here.

Drinks: The drinks are pricey, but well worth it, since they are meant for sipping and tend to last a while. Lychee is my favorite, but the ice coffee is also worth a go. Traffic light is their "award-winning drink" but it's hit-or-miss depending on who makes it. However, like the entire place, it's nice that they are always trying to be up to standards.

Food: The menu has a wide selection but the variety is accommodating for below average size portions. The Lemon grass chicken, beef black pepper, and young chow fried rice are heartier, tasty, and filling. For those who feel the place is pricey, these plates give you more bang for your buck.

Atmosphere:
* Trendy decor
* Low, flattering lighting
* Comfortable seating
* Friendly staff
* Back area for those who want a more secluded place to sit
* Usually playing good music, but not too loud so you can have actual conversations
* Clean bathrooms

Former writer for Timeout Magazine in Hong Kong. Decided to pop my writers cherry in New Zealand starting off with one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

Service - 4/5
Waiters and waitresses seemed like they were all UNI students and very well mannered and knew the menu well. Talkative and good for small chit-chat while waiting for your meal which is why I'm writing this well deserved review.

Convenience - 4/5
For UNI students it's just a walk down the hill from Albert Park. For the busy chap, there's sufficient street parking and a public carpark right next door. Definitely a bonus when it comes to dining out in the city.

Food - 4/5
The extensive and clear menu that Hansan provides was what made a strong impression for me the first time I visited. A lot of vietnamese menus are complex and all over the place, but at Hansan the whole menu is neatly categorized for customer's convenience.
My combo for any Vietnamese restaurant is always the raw beef noodle soup, spring rolls and traffic light - signature dishes for Vietnamese cuisine. The soup base for the raw beef noodles is light but flavorful. The raw beef is what surprised got me slurping away and after I was told by staff members that they used premium New Zealand beef which explained why my bowl was already half empty after 5 minutes. The spring rolls was what I expected a spring roll to taste like, but the authentic Vietnamese sauce is definitely worth mentioning. The traffic light being my favorite desert did not disappoint although I wouldn't recommend it if you're dehydrated after a walk down from Albert park unless you are prepared to order two.

Price - 5/5
Big portion for small value. Under $20 for a happy full course with appetizer, main and desert. No complaints.

Keep it up!

Im a student at NSIA and hansan is a place I often for lunch after class.

food is cheap...all mains round 12$ and comes in huge portions. Menu is also extensive ranging from pan fried chicken with a bowl of noodles soup to beef black pepper on rice to more traditional pork spare rib vermicelli. There is definitely something for everyone to enjoy! Takes rougly 10-15mins to come out so its fast and good for a lunch option.

Got a good drinks option from fruit shakes to ice coffee. They also have byo option and is fully licence. Ive seen them cater for larger groups of 15-20 people before too!

Good interior and place is clean and tidy. Definitely recommend!

- spare ribs were crispy on outside and juicy on the inside/ egg noodles were stringy and soup was good

all together the meal was a tad over 17$ for entree and main + tea. HUGE value + portions was very generous.

service could have been better but understandable as it was a full house during lunch! have made this place part of my weekly lunch option and would recommend highly ~~

Just had a dinner after work around 8pm n amazed to find this restaurant to still be busy so came here for dinner. Place were well decorated n were grated with a mini fountain at the front door.Not surprise to see why they are busy. Food with low price and was served within 10 minutes after we have ordered. Noodle soup were well made and considerably great portion to fill a big man up. Great taste and nice presentation... Definitely good value and will recommend to all my friends and colleague. Consider making a reservation before you decide to come here next time as they are always busy and I was lucky to find myself a seat tonight. The only downside would be the noise and crowds but there are other quiet seats options available if you consult the staff

At Hansan, delicious Vietnamese food is both cheap and plentiful. The staff is friendly and service is reasonably fast.

I ordered the fried wontons and the pan fried chicken with lemon grass egg noodles soup. The wontons were really good - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pan fried chicken with soup was tasty and very generous for just $12. I left feeling quite full and very satisfied. Excellent food for the price!

Hansan is a South-East Asian restaurant, with a variety of dishes from Cambodia and Vietnam mainly. The selection is impressive, ranging from chicken, beef, pork and seafood and noodles of the rice and egg variety. Giving a lot of diversity and selection to please every customer. It has always been busy visiting the Hansan in the city - because of this, sometimes you might get seated in the back area which is incredibly suffocating and hot. If they had an air conditioner or somehow get some ventilation there, it would be much better. Service is adequate, expectant of a quick and busy restaurant.

Would reckon for a change in your lunch/dinner routine and definitely affordable and located quite close to the middle of the city.

Hansan is a really nice Vietnamese restaurant hidden away in the quiet streets of Auckland CBD. Although not 100% authentic, the food is still very good and is definitely value for money. The staff are kind and polite and there are plenty of seats to host a small dinner gathering. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cheap and tasty Asian meal for lunch or dinner.

Loved the Lychee Shake - It had a hint of coconut or some flavour that reminded me of a delicious sago pudding. The noodle soups here are really good value too, and great comfort food. It's not authentic Vietnamese by a long shot, but it's still tasty for whatever it is.

I ate here twice during a short stay and was impressed at the quality and value. Huge, crispy Banh Xeo and delicious beef Pho. The all-important garnish was crispy and fresh too. Two can dine in well for under $40. Green tea is complimentary and we found the staff very friendly, especially the lady from Mui NĆ©. On my experience, I would recommend this place as a good option in the area.

The food is delicious and affordable. Plus, there are so many options to choose from. It's a simple restaurant hidden in a secluded street in CBD. At first, you would not notice it but when you get inside, you wouldn't know that it's a hidden gem. My tummy is always full whenever I eat at this restaurant. My all time favorite would be the Haiannese Chicken (unsure if I have spelled it correctly šŸ˜…).

I really enjoy this Vietnamese place. I've been to the one located at Lynn mall and the food is super delicious. The curry chicken rice noodle soup is my favourite, really flavoursome, tasty and quite spicy too! Never disappointed when i come to this place.

Absolutely the most, flavoursome vietnamese food I've ever tasted! Wonderful, peaceful, authentic ambiance ( no loud music either which is a rarity nowadays ). Exceptional staff who know the menu. My favourite restaurant in Auckland..value for price too.

Really good place to eat! The serving sizes are big for such a cheap price. It's an ideal place to eat for uni students on a budget (which is probably why it's close to UoA). The food also comes out pretty fast. The area is clean and the staff are nice. Definitely would come here again. I recommend it.

A nice simple Vietnamese food. Generous portion with reasonable price. The staff sometimes look bored, can't be bothered, and just want to things done quickly; sometimes can be very friendly and attentive. The sago dessert is yummy though very-very hot when it come, so better order way ahead and let it cool down a bit before eating it or risking to burn your tongue.

Our usual dinner or lunch place. Super quick and delicious food. The taste hasnā€™t changed a bit for the past three years. They do really quick delivery with uber eats too. Never been disappointed by the food or excellent customer service.

Favourite cheap and cheerful Vietnamese with many locations around Auckland. Consistently good food with a quick turn around time. Vegetarian/vegan options are limited.
