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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“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.“

“After reading the reviews, decided to try the lemon grass pork banh mi, lemon grass pork bun, nem and summer rolls. The pork was so flavorful and tender and there was lots of it in the sandwich and bun. Our appetizers were also delicious, 4 in each order. And yes, the bread was soft BUT we loved it. The pickled vegetables were on point and the banh mi was loaded with yummy cilantro. Prices were also reasonable. Only thing that we felt was missing: pickled daikon radish. Definitely worth a return visit!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“I ordered a banh mi cha lua (Vietnamese ham). It was $10.50, which isn’t bad considering how much meat they filled the banh mi with. I arrived around the time they opened and it was a bit busy already. It was quick to order and pay, but the wait to receive the actual banh mi was about 15 mins so keep that in mind if you come during a busy lunch rush.“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

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

“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 :)“

“A Wonderful Vietnamese Dining Experience at Sao Mai

I had such a wonderful experience at Sao Mai in Manhattan. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and authentic. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and full of the wonderful flavors that make Vietnamese cuisine so special.

The service was also excellent. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It was the kind of experience where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and appreciate the care that goes into both the food and the hospitality.

What made the visit even more special was being able to enjoy such a beautiful Vietnamese culinary experience in Manhattan. I would definitely recommend Sao Mai to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food, great hospitality, and a memorable dining experience.

Thank you, Sao Mai, for a beautiful evening! I will definitely be back. 🇻🇳❤“

“Very cute Vietnamese restaurant on my trip to NYC! I did not have reservation but the staff was so kind letting me in right away. The place brings me joy with my hometown special baby clam dish which was DELICIOUS. Grilled squid is tasty, pho is a little bit different than what I expected but definetely yummy. I also love their tamarind tea. Everyone is so nice and kind, and I hope to come back soon! ❤“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

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

“our server was very helpful and friendly. she answered all of our questions about the food I highly recommend the beef stew with noodles.“

“It was an amazing experience that I give 5 ⭐️’s The menu was innovative and interesting and I love that the chef guides all the courses that come out of the kitchen. Being sea to table ensures the highest quality food and the technique from chef Daniel shines through in every dish. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Short Rib Pho was delicious..definitely coming back“

“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!“

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

“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 ☀️“

“Been ordering takeout from here for over a year now. Love their food! Always packaged well to maintain food temperatures. Their beef and brisket pho is a fav! Their chicken wings are also very good! Looking forward to visiting in person one day.“

“The Vietnamese pho here was decent in both taste and portion size. The Dragon Pho was a little better, the beef short rib was very tender and nicely braised. The satay beef pho, however, was a bit tough and difficult to chew.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a 3% credit card processing fee, but the server didn’t mention it.“

“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.“
