Caitlin Williams: OMG everything here was amazing, from the Vietnamese coffee to the chicken satay to the pho. Probably the best dumplings I've ever eaten, even better than Mandoo Bar. Pad see iew is to die for.
Christopher Stewart: Steam Dumplings are topper and the Tom Yum Seafood Soup is excellent. Great Pho Bo!
Meg Farmer: Come on a cold day for the lunch deal- add a steamed dumpling or spring roll, both solid choices. One of the better tasting Pho Bo places in Manhattan.
