The classic Banh Mi is delicious and a great deal for the size.
Thi Duong NguyenJune 10, 2013As a native Vietnamese, I'd say the food is pretty authentic. However the staff just can't be any ruder I don't know what the hell is wrong with them or with me. Ruined my otherwise good experience.
Mia SheriffSeptember 3, 2011The espresso was surprisingly good here. Not bitter at all. Pho was okay, but the broth could have been better. Good amount of meat in the Pho Tai but should have been hotter (temp) and rarer (beef).
The grilled lemongrass chicken (sandwich or over rice) is the bomb.
Chris HSeptember 20, 2014I don't get the hype. Easily the weakest / blandest pho I've ever tasted. Summer rolls were also bland and the veg was half frozen.
lacolexionJuly 28, 2014Nice place, very fast. The AC is a bit annoying at the head table, especially for tourists who are not accustomed.
Xiaoyi LMarch 13, 2011the Pho was good, Lemongrass Chicken was great. love the environment, good service.
Banh Mi: Saigon Spicy Brisket was Excellent! Perfectly tangy, spicy, and tender!
Probably most authentic Vietnamese I've had in NYC since visiting Vietnam. Classic Beef Phö, spicy brisket banh mi & lemongrass chicken =delicious. You NYU brats are nuts: the waitresses are wonderful
KassNovember 29, 2017The bahn mi is okay at best, redeemed only by the fact it’s $5. Just walk the extra few blocks to Chinatown instead
I accidentally got my mother addicted to the Lemongrass Chicken Pho.
I used to love this place… 10 years ago. But today, our bread wasn’t fresh and was stale, my pho wasn’t hot and noodles were a bit soggy :( really disappointing

"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."

"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."

"the best espresso in the west village. Baristas are all eperienced and can make a real cappuccino and a macchiato with a nice touch for presentation."

"Amazing cupcakes in NYC. Pick a cupcake and add any amount of frosting. I add just a little."
