    The pho is absolutely delicious with very generous amounts of meat. The soup is so flavorful that I don't need to add any other sauces like I do in other viet restaurants. The oxtail is a must add!!

    Everything is amazing here. Really great to try Vietnamese food that isn't just pho. We got the crepe, pork chops, spring rolls, papaya and beef jerky salad, deep fried soft shell crab.

    #dubiDO #FabuLIST madame pho is amazing. Big portion, broth is full of flavor, and the meat is juicy and tender. Great upscale vibe with fun music. I’ve had better Vietnamese coffee and spring rolls.

    The pho is one of the best examples of southern-style pho in NYC. And order banh bot chien, one of my favorite Vietnamese street snacks.

    The pho is wonderful and full of depth; only thing to note when ordering is that the broth is very heavy and hearty.

    Yummy! Beyond thrilled to finally have a bowl of Bun Bo Hue. We also had the shrimp vermicelli, Banh Hoi grilled beef roll appetizer and wings. Pricey though. Ouch.

    The pho is definitely great but my favorite was that they have bahn xeo!!! So hard to find in nyc and they did it so well. Perfectly crunchy and huge portion for a starter. 👍🏼

    A little pricy compared to most Vietnamese offerings in NYC but food is very authentic, well made and very delicious. Expect some wait during prime dinning hours.

    Solid pho within narrow quarters. Service is great, there’s a bar tucked in the front. Got the bon bia spring roll app which was phenomenal. Custom house drinks ranged from salted limeade to lychee.

    Great for sharing: chicken wings, any of the rolls they have, and of course the spare rib pho!

    The pho is delicious with a great, flavourful broth and a generous amount of meat. On the pricier side, though, and thought starters were just ok - at least the chicken wings, squid, & soft shell crab

    My first time having Pho was here and...ohmygosh was it worth it. Place gets packed so try a reservation. Sitting at the small bar is ok but you tend to get forgotten. The food is the spotlight.

    Their pho is s bit bland and rich to counter balance the flavor when you put the two sauces. Its good and catered towards diet conscious eaters. Their soft shell appetizer is the highlight.

    Food delicious!! Got the traditional pho and spring rolls wrapped in lettuce. Food came out quickly but they tried to rush us out because they were prepping for transition from lunch to dinner

    Saveur: "A product of cross-country refugee upbringing, Madame Vo’s namesake noodle soup is unapologetically rich and fantastically comforting—and not just thanks to the giant beef rib."

    Really nice Vietnamese restaurant, the autumn rolls are super good, the madame pho is also really good, the caramelized spare ribs aren’t easy to eat though.

    Pho's are usually low on meat. Not here. The madame pho with the rib add on is a feast for beef lovers. The broth is also delicious.

    Fave dish Banh Bot Chien (an eggy savory rice flour cake). Squid appetizer also succulent. Both vermicelli bowl/Tet noodles too sweet and disappointing. Expensive: 2 apps, 2 noodles, 4 drinks: $150!

    If you try the chef recommended pho you should definitely add extra meat because the sizable portion will make your meal.

    Delicious pho, although it's a little pricier than the other pho spots vibes are kinda weird though, especially on weekend nights.

    My favorite dish is the pork chop rice -- probably the best I've tried in NY so far.

    The $15 garlic "prawns" are made with baby shrimp. Definitely sticking with the noodle soups.

    Pho is very good. Ambiance in the (very small) back section makes for a great date spot.

    Soft shell crabs not on the lunch menu, but tasty. Salted limeade tasty too.

    They have a great gimmick of adding short rib to their signature Pho, but the broth was bland and sweet. Didn't have that taste that Pho should taste like.... I wasn't impressed

    Shrimp vermicelli has a strong sweet taste even without the fish sauce. Not enough vermicelli to balance out the flavors.

    Food was good but definitely overpriced. Seems like they're trying a bit too hard to create a trendy vibe, at least on the weekend.
