About Hanoi on King Newtown

Hanoi on King delivers rare Northern Vietnamese specialties to Newtown, sidestepping Sydney's standard Southern-leaning broths. Diners pile in for deep bowls of bún riêu ốc swimming with snails, slow-simmered phở bò sốt vang infused with red wine, and smoky bún chả with charred pork. Table jars of sharp pickled garlic and sliced red chilies wait beside every bowl to cut through the broth. It feels like stepping into a family living room—unpretentious, quick, and remarkably gentle on the wallet. Orders land hot in minutes alongside crisp fried spring rolls and generous platters of herbs.

  • Authentic Northern Specialties: Specializes in regional Northern classics like snail noodle soup, wine-stewed beef pho, and bún chả that are uncommon across Sydney.
  • House Pickled Garlic Condiment: Tables are stocked with traditional house-pickled garlic and fresh chilies to calibrate each soup's heat and acidity.
  • Budget-Friendly Comfort: Fast service and low check averages make it a dependable stop for a hearty pre-movie or weeknight feed.

  • Authentic Pickled Garlic Broth Customization

    House condiments include traditional northern-style pickled garlic jars and fresh chilies to tailor noodle broths.

    I love spice and their chillies and pickled garlic are a great addition to the pho.
