About Hanoi Rose

Brunswick diners head here for rare-find celiac-safe Vietnamese street food and northern specialties on Sydney Road. The big draw is the gluten-free banh mi—crispy roast pork belly tucked into a soft, crackly roll that skips the usual dense starch traps. Regulars balance quick lunches with Hanoi-style bún chả, pairing smoky grilled pork and dipping broth with fresh rice noodles, or linger over rich bowls of pho, salt and pepper tofu, and crisp rice-paper spring rolls.

  • Gluten-free banh mi & allergy care: Crispy roast pork belly and lemongrass tofu rolls served on dedicated gluten-free baguettes, alongside celiac-safe and vegan-friendly dishes.
  • Traditional Hanoi specialties: Authentic northern-style bún chả featuring grilled pork, dipping broth, and fresh herbs alongside classic pho.
  • Group dining & private catering: Customized, clearly labeled menus tailored for mixed dietary gatherings and celebrations.

  • Celiac Dining Without Stress

    Diners with celiac disease and severe sensitivities experience genuine relief dining safely without giving up classic street food favorites.

    I’m celiac and I cannot express how wonderful the gluten free options are!! A gluten free Bahn mi is really hard to come by so I absolutely have to get it every time I come by.
