So disappointed. Really was hoping this would be decent, at least? Brand new location, we ate at the original Hana on Los Gatos Blvd when they first opened, disappointing, and havent been back since. We were hopeful this new spot would be different. The menu was different, good. Good location. Nice decor. Ate outside. Servers were friendly.But the main reason we go out to eat is the food, right? We had the beef Pho, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. No appetizers.The Pho broth was clear and hot, which is good. No Pho smell though, and super salty. The Tai meat was ok, at least it was soft. The other meat was tired, discolored, very over cooked, and difficult to bite- like hard cardboard, if i am being honest.We ate @ 6:15 on Friday evening, so it wasnt the end of the night, getting rid of whats left-?The Tonkotsu Ramen... they shouldnt be allowed to use that name, was really bad. To make good Tonkotsu broth you have to slow cook the pork which extracts the Umami, and gives you that rich, creamy Tonkotsu flavor- The pork seemed like it had been air fried? It was so dry and hard it was difficult to even bite? No flavor whatsoever in the pork- not edible, just stacked it on another plate, with the meat from the Pho. The soup was warm, not hot. At least it wasnt salty like the Pho broth. The soft boiled egg was ok too.The service was good. Our waitress was kind and apologetic for the food quality. We explained it wasnt her fault. Recommended the chef go try decent Pho at Pho Hanoi in Vietnam Town in San Jose and excellent ramen in Mountain View at Yugen Ramen... even showed her pictures of what good Tonkotsu should look like, since by her own admission, she had never had Tonkotsu Ramen.Los Gatos could really use a good Vietnamese restaurant, in my humble opinion. I do hope Hana is able to take this feedback as an honest critique and change the quality of the 2 dishes we tried and blow us all away with delicious Vietnamese Pho and Japanese Ramen. We dont mind driving to other cities for good food, but it sure would be nice to just drive downtown and enjoy good Pho here in LG.Please, please, please let us know when youre ready for us to try again- we will become your best customers!

I was here for dinner and I had an amazing experience! I had the Bàhn mì Sanwhich and the beef phô(very tasteful and found out prep is very intense, which makes it authentic and more so enjoyable), which was simply amazing. It is very authentic, got the chance to speak with the owner, and got some delightful insight into the food and her background to the delicious food. Im so glad they opened downtown LG. Service was amazing. My server suggested the perfect combo of wine to be paired with my food. She was extremely knowledgeable and attentiveThanks, I cant wait to go back.

I was excited to try Hanna Noodle Bar after learning it is Vietnamese immigrant owned and when I dined there I was not disappointed. Their chicken pho was to die for! My server was very attentive and recommended the Grenache blanc to pair with my meal and a pandan waffle for dessert😍Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service was a 10/10 😊

Pork Belly Pho, tepid broth, stuck together clump of noodles, tiny pieces of meat, little else to save it.
