50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Fort Lee

“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.“

“Delicious chicken curry..“

“Pho was terrific. Meat was melt in your mouth tender“

“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 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“

“WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country. The portion sizes are excellent, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are rich and delicious! The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“If you’re in the Bronx and love Vietnamese food, you are in for a treat. This place is easily one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in New York. The pho is so flavorful and filling especially with the beef and pickled vegetables. The rice and pork with fresh vegetables is so good. The rice goes so well with the crunchy vegetables and the grilled pork chop. Overall, this place is so good.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“This place is cozy and makes for a nice place to go out with friends, dates or even alone! I went in by myself and tried their banh mi, which despite not being like what you would find in a typical Vietnamese spot, was super tasty and I highly recommend it. Use my photo as evidence of how good it is, I ate half of it before I finally took a photo, haha. The bread itself was soft, it tasted fresh, and the filling wasn't overly spicy or bland, it was just right. The baked goods looked tempting and I might have to try them next time.

Service wise, they're great. The staff will let you know how long you'll wait for items and they are good at what they do, both in the front facing customers and in the back prepping.“

“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 🩵“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“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.“

“Everything on the menu is delicious. Highly recommended. And the service is friendly and excellent.“

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 :)“

“This is a quiet gem at 91st St & 2nd Avenue. The banh mi - pork, chicken, beef - all 3 are very good - (i don't need to go to chinatown for banh mi anymore). Pho Beef was the best in UES. We also enjoy the pad thai! It is a must try for Upper Upper Eastsiders.“

“Found a solid spot inside LIC Food Hall — Pho Vital 🍜
They have lots of options and combo meals that are actually worth it. We got the lemongrass chicken rice and grilled pork vermicelli, both super flavorful and surprisingly light. The chicken was so juicy and well marinated, and everything came with fresh veggies on the side.

Also tried the warm ginger apple tea and Thai tea — both hit the spot. Perfect place for a refreshing meal when NYC weather gets hot ☀️“

“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!“

“My favorite 🍜 place in the 🌎 😋“

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

“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!“
