Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
We think Taste of Hanoi offers a strong contender for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Balestier.
The Hanoi grilled pork rice noodles receive consistent praise for tender, well-marinated pork and fresh ingredients, including a 'yummy fried spring roll & meat ball'.
The beef pho is also a highlight, described as having a sweet stock and tender beef slices.
For drinks, the salted cream coffee and egg coffee are frequently recommended as must-tries.
While the food is generally lauded for its authenticity and taste, be prepared for a wait, with some patrons reporting 30-45 minutes, extending to an hour during peak times.
Seating is outdoors and non-air-conditioned, which might be a consideration for some.
Despite potential waits and the al fresco setting, the quality of the food and the friendly service make it a worthwhile visit.
We'd recommend this spot for those seeking genuine Hanoi flavours, especially if you have time to spare for the wait.

One of the best beef Pho. Proper noodle texture which many in Singapore can’t get it right. Salted coffee doesn’t really have the salt taste, but still ok. Great service overall.
Hands down the best pho I’ve ever had. This place is truly one-of-a-kind, largely thanks to the owner. I’ve been a regular for the past few months, and I still remember my first visit—she took the tim…
Amazing food, fresh and tasty, not to mention healthier than most modern options. The Vietnam flavoured drinks are a must try as well. On days that I don't order food i'd drop by for the drinks becaus…
