“BEST PHO I EVER HAD IN THIS COUNTRY. I was craving for pho and stumbled upon this place. There was a 40min wait to be seated and don't be discouraged by this because the food is really worth the wait. Their pho is flavorful and they give a generous portion of beef. We also tried the banh mi and it did not disappoint. One of my fave place now in nyc.“

“My god! the bartender, the one who the grey hair is definitely a 90/80!!!His specialty Lechee Martini was to die for!! way better than the tattoo guy! But the service from all was spectacular! please come by and give this place a shot! Great pork chop!! Will return!“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“My banh mi was high quality and well priced, I would definitely return here in the future.

Roast pork was a little inconvenient take out style though, would prefer a larger bowl with everything mixed rather than meat, rice, and vegetables separate“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“I've had Bahn Mi's all over NYC but this place is the most flavorful. They pack the sandwich with well marinated veggies, the meats are always tender and bread is nice and crusty. The prices are reasonable too at $11. I wish they offered appetizers too like fried spring rolls.“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“Saigon Social is an amazing Vietnamese restaurant in the LES of Manhattan. Owned and operated by Helen Nguyen who uses her wonderful restaurant to prepare food for those in need for various organizations in NYC. She is a wonderful person and an amazing chef using her classical training to prepare amazingly authentic and forward thinking Vietnamese dishes. It’s a must visit!!!!“

“Iconic and peerless. My all time favorite restaurant since it opened! Best Vietnamese food in NYC. Amazing ambiance. Very gracious pricing considering the high quality ingredients and master chefs. Also don’t need to tip because they pay their employees :)“

“Just as good as some of the best food you can get in Vietnam. Bun Cha Gio and Banh Cuon Ha No were really good, but the house beef pho was truly exceptional. Service was also fast, attentive, and very kind. Will definitely be going back ASAP.“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“The betel rolls and the pork apps were so good! The pho is delicious as well. I enjoyed my drink but wish there was more chilli salt.

Best of all, is how sweet and smiley the waitresses are. I know how hard the service industry can be, and smiling your way through it can be a whole ‘nother task. Thank you for providing us excellent service with a smile 🩵“

“Went on a weekend before they opened maybe 30 minutes before and was able to get a seat in the first seating at the counter. The food was really delicious and I understand the hype. I really like the lychee slushy. The oysters they had were my favorite and I really enjoyed the rolls and sandwich. They do have the option to order online which is great because I passed by during the week and line was still long.“

“A great place to eat I love their pho chicken sandwiches but best of all their curry chicken soup is really good as well.My son introduced me to this place and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. 😋 👌 😊“

“Absolutely loved my meal at JoJu UES! I ordered the bulgogi bowl and added the lemongrass chicken - both were fantastic.

The bulgogi completely stole the show - it was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The chicken was delicious as well, and they were very generous with the portions of both proteins.

The bowl was filling, flavorful, and a great value. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Sao Mai is a family-run restaurant in the East Village that serves traditional Vietnamese staples. We came here on a Saturday night, and the place is packed. They don’t accept reservations, so allow yourselves some time to be seated.

For our group of 4, we were seated early as we chose to dine slightly early. For appetizers, we devoured crispy spring rolls served with lettuce and mint leaves, and crispy calamari with a dipping sauce. Both appetizers were freshly made and delicious.

We then ordered our own entrees. For myself, I selected grilled lemongrass pork chop with fried rice. Everyone enjoyed their dishes; my friend even quipped that it was really a good, unpretentious dinner to be had.

With a good price point and friendly customer service, we can’t wait to come back to try their other dishes.“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“I honestly can’t remember how many times I’ve been back to this place, but that probably says enough on its own. The food here is genuinely excellent, especially the chicken pho. The chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and I really like how a squeeze of lime lifts the broth and makes it taste even brighter and fresher. The portions are generous, the service is consistently good, and the restaurant is always clean, well-kept, and nicely decorated. I often come here for lunch with my coworkers, and it has become one of those reliable spots we keep returning to. If there’s one downside, it’s that the restaurant only opens from lunchtime onward, so sadly it’s not an option when I’m craving a good bowl of pho in the morning.“

“love this place, 2nd time ordering. first time was delivery and this time I picked up. the pho is so delicious and includes sauce and toppings. banh mi and spring rolls are also other favorites that i’ve had twice. will definitely come back!“

“Nice and warm. The food was Delicious!!n definitely will be back!“

“I got the OG Pho. It was fine. The flavor was somewhat savory sweet but ultimately just fine. Pork belly bao was similarly savory and satisfying. The hoisin sauce definitely helped.

The best part was the service. Efficient is the best way to describe it. I barely got to talk to my friend because the food was there first.

Overall it was cool, nothing too crazy in my opinion.“

“This is a food cart, but I’m still trying to find a better banh mi in the city! Recently tried some highly rated downtown options and let me tell you it was nothing compared to this cart! Also: very nice owner, great prices and freshness of ingredients.“

“Very friendly, welcoming, low key restaurant with GREAT prices and equally GREAT food! If i lived in East Village this would be my go-to. They do not use soy sauce and many peanuts for those with allergies. Compared to other vietnamese places they are very accommodating to many diets, but at baseline their menu is safe. Amazing prices.“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“Excellent food and a wide variety of options. Have enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“We ate here after 12 hours of travel because it was across the street from our hotel. It may have been the best food of the trip. We are a picky family of four. My youngest (whose favorite restaurant is MacDonalds) scarfed down his chicken pho with enthusiasm. We all got some sort of duck (curry, noodles, and curry noodles) and they were all unique and fantastic. Get the curry puffs.“

“Wonderful restaurant with beyond wonderful and fast service...some of the best pho I have had in forever! And the server was so wonderful to put up with our group. The amount of food you get is beyond amazing and delicious! Definitely would come here again and would recommend it to everyone!“

“Decent fast casual vietnamese spot. Is it super authentic? Not really. But its good for what it is and being the only vietnamese spot in the area. I've gotten take out a couple times and the banh mi's bread were quite soft and a bit soggy so I had to throw it back in the air fryer. And the pho were very small portions with 4 pieces of thin meat. Other than that, they're quick and friendly with their service.“

“First time had an amazing experience. Fresh taste warm welcome. I enjoyed every bit of it. I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish because they only had large portions (which is ok) but I ate all the noodles. Tapped out at the broth lol 😂 but I will be back!“

“Món nào cũng ngon , sẽ quay lại tiệm .“

“Wow. This place is incredible! The portions are very good for the price. Awesome presentation. Fast service. Tasty… SUPER tasty. A+ all around.“

“Popped in last night with 4 young adults. The staff were super friendly, really helpful and the Food was probably the best that I've had in NYC this week. Great range of food, reasonably priced and massive portions. The food was super quick arriving but we did not feel rushed at all and enjoyed and lovely evening. Would Recommend!“

“I was really craving pho and after some Yelp/Google Review searching, I found Pho Express. I like that they have a build your own pho option, since my favorite meats aren't usually in the same dish. I got the beef brisket, beef tendon, and beef balls. Absolute, hands down, my favorite three meats.

The pho arrived still hot via Doordash and honestly it really hit the spot. They give you so much broth too, I had enough for noods again the next day.“

“Really recommend this Vietnamese restaurant :)“

“Delicious, fresh food! What a fantastic addition to the area and larger town. Tasty, authentic and with lots of healthy options. Lovely owners and staff too! I have had the traditional bahn mi, the chicken vermicelli noodles and my husband had the grilled chicken bahn mi today. All so delish!“

“I don’t usually write reviews but this place was incredible! Really kind staff, I brought my dad and they answered his hundreds of questions helping him decide what to order. Great service and the food was also really tasty. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful!“

“I absolutely love this place. The Pho here is seriously the best pho I’ve ever had. It’s extremely flavorful, the noodles always come out perfectly soft and the meat perfectly cooked. They have sauces at the table available like Sriracha , Hoisin Sauce and a Homemade Chili sauce. Their spring rolls are very refreshing and pairs deliciously with their peanut sauce. Their fried spring rolls are also super amazing, always come out hot and delicious which also pair nicely with the fish sauce they serve it with. Their Jasmine Boba Tea is to dieeee for, as well as their Avocado Shakes. I also recommend the bowl that comes with BBQ Pork, salad and Vermicelli noodles. The service is always quick and their servers are super kind. I believe the older couple who is always there are the owners and they are absolute sweethearts. I genuinely love coming here, I visit the place at least once a week on weekends. Check this place out and you won’t regret it!“

“One of the best Vietnamese restaurants we have ever visited and we have been to many - delicious food, friendly service, spacious and very family friendly. Curry chicken satay was exceptional tasty, beef pho - very authentic , curry chicken stew, tofu summer roll, all were very well prepared and flavorful.“

“TC’s Little Taste of Saigon was an absolute five-star experience from start to finish.

My wife and I stopped in and were blown away by both the food and the warmth of the place. We ordered the pho with medium rare meat, spring rolls, and the chicken stir fry — and every single dish delivered.

The pho broth deserves special mention. You can immediately tell it’s made with care and time. Rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful without being heavy — the kind of broth that keeps you going back for “just one more spoonful” until suddenly the bowl is empty. The medium rare beef was tender and perfect, and the balance of herbs and freshness brought everything together beautifully.

The chicken stir fry was equally impressive. The layers of flavor really stood out — savory, slightly sweet, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. It felt thoughtful, not rushed, and you could taste the care in every bite.

The spring rolls were fresh, crisp, and a perfect start to the meal.

Beyond the food, this is exactly the kind of mom-and-pop place you hope to find. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly service that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and a comfortable, authentic atmosphere. Can’t say enough great things about the experience — we’ll absolutely be back.“

“My favorite 🍜 place in the 🌎 😋“

“We picked up our beef pho as usual it was very good. Place is great for takeout. The broth and temperature were perfect. We have ordered three times and they have always been consistent with the seasoning and service. In terms of atmosphere, they have a small seating area the place was clean . Takeout in my opinion is the way to go. Highly recommend the Pho“

“Delicious, flavorful, and authentic food with generous portion sizes for a good price. We were seated quickly. Dining staff were very attentive and welcoming.“

“Yummy yummy Good service Nice place“

“Came here for the first time and had a delightful experience. The service was quick, the staff were attentive and the food was fantastic! The wings were crispy and flavorful, the entrees had just the right amount of spice, and the coffee and matcha milk cake are worth going for by themselves. Highly recommend, I will definitely be back!“

“Delicious food and cool atmosphere. My place in NYC“
