The lady was so rude to me and my friend and was all up in our faces talking really unnecessarily loud pretty much shouting and when I asked her a simple question abt the pho she pointed at the menu and repeated the menu and rushed us and said she’ll come back when I make up my mind.

I had always enjoyed the tofu steak which was accompanied by asparagus and pickled daikon,carrot and cucumbers. The steak was grilled and tasty with peanut sauce. What I received on November 13 was disappointing, if not downright awful. The tofu steak was redolent of oil from what could only have been all all fry cook,the asparagus was non existent, and the side veggies were replaced with tasteless, steamed broccoli and bok choy. The entire meal was a far departure from the good dish I used to enjoy.

I can't share a photo, the Pho-- it's so good, it's like a holy whole-body healthy-food infusion; it is so good it just disappears. Top-tier homemade Bone broth is fresh, ample, gluten-free rice noodles, the served Bean spout and Basil and pepper always crisp, available pepper oil will sear with wonderful flavor if you add it, and or real sriracha & hoisin. It's the kind of place that James Beard might not have reviewed because he wanted to keep the place to himself. It's simply the best local pho, and worth traveling to savor.

Absolutely love this place! Have been going maybe twice a week and it is amazing, if anything it keeps getting better as I go. The pho is phenomenal and even better service!

Berated customer infront of us for not tipping enough, credit card system stopped working so made me walk out to the atm and withdraw cash, and passive aggressive after I didn’t tip 20% because of the terrible service. The food was fine but don’t come here, there’s better places in albany.

Love Vans! I was in Vietnam earlier this year, fell in love with the cuisine. Since returning have been on a mission to try all the local Vuetnamese restaurants. Vans tops the list for flavors, quality and authenticity ❤️

No fancy decor, but excellent Vietnamese dishes! My favorite is the Tofu steak. Van's is a classic fixture in Albany. I've been going for years, and hope to continue for many more.

I realized I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years and have never left a review. In my opinion, the Tofu Steak is the best plate you’ll find in Albany. Consistently perfect and a massive portion. Amazing staff as well. My wife and I usually split the tofu steak and fried vegetable spring rolls over vermicelli. The Pho is very good as well.
