Adnan IslamOctober 30, 2013Don't seat by the door during winter, people walks in every single second (even when there's no place to seat). You might get sick. Great food BTW.
Spring rolls are awesome and a must-try. Both the pho and cold vermicelli are very good, and they pack things really nicely for take-out.
Thalia KJanuary 6, 2013Try the Classic Beef Pho - Even by my Super-Size Me Midwest standards this was one HUGE bowl of Pho. $8 West Village. Who knew?
Mohammad AlamSeptember 19, 2013The veggie pho and the catfish vermicelli was amazing . So was the special of the day crab cakes.
Leo N-BAugust 23, 2015There's always a line for a table outside on the street but it's worth the wait!
Chris KonecnyMarch 22, 2019Well, I have not been to Vietnam but this is best pho I've had. Could have used more veggies but maybe that's traditional, dunno. Cash only
Chris GampatOctober 3, 2017This is he spot that changed the Pho experience for me. I hated it and then I saw the light. Get the spicy and don’t look back.
Billy DOctober 2, 2011This place is the real deal. Fresh ingredients and super tasty dishes. Try the Peking duck báhn mì for something different and awesome.
Gabriel HayesAugust 13, 2015The bánh mì sandwiches are great for lunch. Really enjoy the classic with jalapeños.
Ashley LoSeptember 2, 2015I go there all the time. Really great food with really great prices. Cash only!
Umair ZiaMarch 28, 2015God lord, man. Some incredibly satisfying pho and appz. Think of the beef... Think of all the delicious ass beef...
Nicolette RomeroMay 23, 2015Yeah...dumplings spring rolls, etc. are all delish! Love the beef noodle soup. 🍜
Jeanne ChoOctober 19, 2015Chicken pho on the sweet side. Prefer the beef broth which is super clean.
Even if it's full and there's a wait you'll be seated within 15 minutes. The food also comes out super fast
An Artichoke location and a pho place open across the street from each other in the same week? This block is looking up! Get the combo pho--delicious broth and meatballs. A decent deal at $8.
Parham RouzbahaniNovember 24, 2018The pho and banh mi are both amazing. Great prices. Highly recommend.
Jack HoflandJanuary 13, 2019It's not the world's best pho (why does it need to be?) but for the price point it's the best I've come across in NYC.
Everything is good here!! Inexpensive and delicious. Bring cash no cards accepted.
Naveen KonduruAugust 23, 2014Vermicelli with beef cubes excellent. I would have preferred sliced beef, but still very good.
JoleneMarch 20, 2012Bring cash (it's cash only) and order the lemongrass chicken sandwich! If you have the time, eat in for best experience, as the bread can get soggy.
great for a quick lunch! I had to wait ~10 min outside but they took my order in line and my food came basically as soon as I sat down 👻👻
Sandra TanAugust 18, 2013Their food makes a great pick-me-up. Have their Saigon Shack Pho and summer rolls.
Caroline LeMarch 13, 2015small restaurant with quick service and excellent food. beef pho was on point
AliceMay 30, 2014I ordered take out (got the classic banh mi which was really good). Hmm.. not sure about some of the negative reviews on here..but the staff were extremely friendly to me.
kim foxAugust 17, 2014Delicious and an excellent portion size. The staff were quite personable. Loved it.
actually authentic and good Vietnamese food, which is hard to find in nyc.
Alexander AttarDecember 20, 2018The pho broth is lacking. The variety of meat cuts you'd typically find in a regular bowl costs a few dollars extra. No real chilli sauce or dipping plates. You can find much better.
If you like it spicy get the house special pho. It'll make you sweat in the best way possible.
Hien LyNovember 25, 2014Vermicelli bowls are my favorite here. Pho is a close second. Pass on the Banh Mi's!
Ben K.March 15, 2012Crab cake banh mi and variety of pho are delicious. Wash down with a Vietnamese iced coffee.
The pho is highly addictive. The sauce for the sweet potato fries is super yum!
Cash only. Grilled lemongrass chicken takes a little longer but it's good!
Bahn mi is great, just make sure they don't load one side with the peppers if you get it spicy!

"This is the best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam. I love this best. Get a large number 8 (pho with eye of round and brisket) and add a little plum sauce, siracha and mint leaves. Quality meal."
Adam Gertz - 7.6
"The best pho is *eaten in* instead of taken out, when the pho soup is steaming hot and you throw in raw meat, pho noodles, and bean sprouts. Pho #7, #8, #9 are great (semi-raw beef and tendon)."

"Love this new modern Vietnamese addition to the hood. Start with papaya salad and spring rolls, then move onto pho and beef stew. Tasty house hot sauce! Everything was delic, I loved the interior too."

"A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too."
