“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.“

“Decent price, fast service, and fresh ingredients. I had the veggie banh mi; the bread was light, making it a healthy and satisfying sandwich with delicious herbs on it. The place it constantly busy. You can eat your food standing up on the side.“

“Had a group dinner for a friend's birthday and absolutely LOVED the place! The ambiance was so cool and I could have stayed there all nice. Friendly attentive service. Great neighborhood spot!“

“Very unique Vietnamese restaurant, the dishes are not like anything you'll find even in the edgier restaurants in NYC. I found the food very interesting, and I'm glad I tried it, but the flavors blended together, it lacked distinctiveness. The food is pretty shareable. The low tables on the sidewalk are cute, but didn't look very comfortable“

“EXCELLENT Vietnamese food. Best in the neighborhood and many more unique offerings than I see at most Vietnamese restaurants. I am very appreciative to the staff at Banh for being so kind and accommodating. I placed a delivery order through Square and there was an issue due to an error on Relay (the delivery app). It was not at all the fault of the restaurant but they still resent my order at no additional cost. They are wonderful!“

“i have been on the hunt for the perfect pate banh mi in manhattan and so far this is the winner! excellent sandwich, love the flavor of the pickled veggies, it has the crispiest bread ever, and theres even seating.
watch out with that crispy bread though! i personally liked it, but it is so crispy that i felt as if it cut the insides of my mouth.“

“Wonderful experience. Food was amazing. Service was enough to keep you happy, but not intrusive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 😋“

“Ordered the grilled chicken thigh sandwich, beef summer rolls, & taro milk tea.
Grilled chicken thigh was juicy & flavorful, highly recommend.
(We ordered the pork bbq as well, it was sweet and packed with flavors)
It was huge & good bread to veggies-meat ratio.
The summer rolls would be better with shrimp instead of beef because the beef was cold but the rolls were still refreshing & hug. It comes out as 2 long rolls instead of the small 4 pieces one.
The taro milk tea was mid.
Hopefully they have a dine in option because their food is really good, they’re not stingy with their ingredients. Highly recommend.
They only take food to go, either come with a car or eat at the park nearby.“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“So nice, fast delivery I know you won't want to miss out“

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

“Classic mom-and-pop style Pho spot. Although there’s a lot of elevated viet restaurants in NYC, sometimes I just prefer the laidback atmosphere and traditional dishes a mom-and-pop shop offers. Their pho broth is delicious and makes you wanting more. I also really like their calamari dish. Highly recommend.“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“I had their takeout so can't review the atmosphere but their food was the bomb! We had the free range chicken pho which was delicious! Light but flavorful. The chicken pieces were a mix of white and dark but not the chewy dark pieces. I also was not super thirsty right after the meal which means they don't use MSG or any other chemicals to enhance the flavor.We also got their summer rolls which super fresh and so delicious.
Packaging of the food was super tight and thoughtful- no spills.
Def will be ordering again!“

“Recently opened, amazing pho, great atmosphere and even better service. Our waitress Erika was kind and efficient, she was able to provide great service to us. While there was great service there was also great food. From the pho to the thai tea it was fantastic. The cosy atmosphere only added to this experience. I would definitely recommend coming to this spot as it’s a great place to enjoy a meal with your friends.“

“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!!!!“

“Amazing food, excellent service“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“I had the beef pho, and it was tasty. The broth was flavorful, meat was tender, and I absolutely devoured it. (If you’ve never had pho, the beef is rare at first, but it cooks in the soup. That’s why it’s pink in the photo). The two friends I went with both ordered the chicken pho which they also loved.

I docked one star because the restaurant was sooo busy on the Monday evening when we went. We waited outside for 40 minutes, and I was getting hangry. In my opinion if you just want a plain bowl of beef or chicken pho it might be worth it to go somewhere less busy. As for their more specialized dishes, I would have to go back to try them!“

“Friendly service, clean shop... delicious sandwich“

“The Banh Mi Cart is my favorite part of working in the Financial District. They’re only open 4 hours a day but boy do they deliver! Hot, delicious ready-to-eat Vietnamese banh mi’s ? And the two uncles working the cart are super friendly and are the most honest, hardworking people I’ve met. I’ll have to try to get there earlier because the roasted pork banh mi is sold out everytime!“

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

“I love this place, it’s my top 3 Viet restaurant in NYC. The flavor is very authentic to Vietnamese growing up in the south like me.

With my recent visit, I have a few critiques:
- Oc len xao dua: it was mussels and not snails. I know you guys noted that down in the menu but I still feel bothered by it. Also the mussels doesnt really go well with the coconut sauce. I think you guys should remove that dish from the menu (you guys have better dishes on the menu!)

- Pho ga: the pho itself is on the sweeter side, which is not my preference. The lemon/green sauce was very sweet and tastes weird. We even asked the waitress to confirm if it's supposed to taste sweet like that and she said yes. I think you guys can do better with the sauce, or just do without it. Ems in 86 did the Pho Ga really well tho.

The rest of the food was really good, especially the Bo Luc Lac and Lemongrass clams. I didn't get the Bo Kho this time but definitely highly recommend!“

“It was a really good pho, we really enjoyed the food here. Everything about it tasted authentic. One little thing about it was that there was no highchair for my baby so he sat with us. But other than that this will be my new favorite place“

“Hannah was a complete sweetheart. She was very accommodating, attentive & friendly. Great customer service & food quality. Her music playlist was awesome along with her entire swag. Will be back just because of her! Bon Mi was fire as well as the milk tea!“

“The food is so gooddd. I have the spicy pork bar buns and the Lemongrass Chicken Bahn MI sandwich. Can you say Delicioussss.love love love. I live in East New York BK and came all the way for thisssss. Never been here before this was my 1st time and I'm going back...#littlemo'sisgood“

“It was my first time visiting your establishment and I am very pleased with the service and the food was delicious will definitely be going back. I ordered the seafood pho 🍲 and it was a 10/10 and in a cold winter evening it was the best thing to order“

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Always so happy when we come here! Food and atmosphere is just what we need after a long day, and staff are super chill. Cute date spot as well ;)

Vegetarian options: Veggie pho is so delicious and vegan! Also great fried rice!!

Kid-friendliness: Staff was so friendly to my 5 year old! She loved the fish tank!“

“Such a cute spot! TLDR: great sandwich, customer service, value

I was craving a bahn mi while downtown and stumbled upon this shop. The spicy shredded chicken sandwich was divine. The chicken was tender, the veggies were crisp, and it was the perfect amount of spice. The bread was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside - perfect for bahn mi!!

It was a great value for the portion size in this neighborhood.

The person who helped me at the register was very polite and kind! Definitely great customer service.

It’s definitely more of a “hole-in-the-wall” kind of place, but seems like a well kept secret. Will def have to come back and try the bubble tea combo.

Thanks Henry’s!!!“

“Bahn Mi is the best in the area. The bread is way better than 5ive Spice nearby. The shrimp spring roll was missing carrots and cucumbers, it was just noodles, greens, and shrimp. Left a lot to be desired, but the namesake item was very good and worth your time for sure. Definitely would recommend.“

“I ordered 3 bowls of Vietnamese Pho noodle soup for myself and my traveling partners when I was in NYC.
Look at the bowl!
A big hearty bowl of beef soup!
😍🥢

The standard was the same as those I ate in Asia and Vietnam (Hanoi). Love it! ❤️“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“We walked in for a to go order, we had the beed and chicken banmi

Pro: beef bami was nice, it was my first time to try banmi, it was also refreshing with the cucumber and some other veggies in there
Pro: chicken banmi, i like the flavor, i prefer this more than the beef and the meat was generous

Cons: chicken was dry
Cons: beef could have added more beef

I would go back and buy the chicken banmi again.“

“Yummy yummy Good service Nice place“

“Pho is very very delicious! This is probably the best pho I have eaten recently. I recommend the Special Pho which has tripe in it. I have visited many times. The soup is very sweet but not the kind of MSG soup that will make your mouth dry. The rice noodles are also very chewy and have no strange taste. The beef is also delicious and not dry. I think the beef balls are just average. The spring rolls and seafood soup are also very ordinary, I recommend eating Pho. However, it is currently closed for inside use and only for takeout.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. it’s a tiny little hole in the wall, it feels like a nice cozy family owned restaurant. the food is delicious, the portions are great, and i am so happy i found it. my bf and i went last night and it was so good that we’re going again tonight. i got the drunken noodles and he got the crispy pork, and both of us also got spring rolls as appetizers. 10/10 so so delicious i cannot recommend enough.“

“There was a pho Hanoi place in Manhattan that closed down during pandemic, for years there hasn’t been a good Hanoi pho place in Manhattan. To my surprise, I saw this place on uber eats, didn’t hesitate to try it out. Hanoi pho has a special place in my heart since I spent 1/3of my life there. The flavor is a bit on the weaker side but with the fresh noodle and crispy quay, they’ve earned the 5 stars. I didnt have nuoc mam at home,but if i did I would put a lil bit more just to complete the savory balance.
Can’t wait to try it at the resto with the Banh mi.“
