50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Astoria

“The pho was great but the bahn mi was even better! The food was really fresh and tasty and service was quick. They also brought a second bowl so we could share pho between 2 people which was nice, because many places discourage sharing. The pho was huge so we had plenty for 2. The atmosphere was cute and stylish.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“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!“

“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.“

“We went for my husband's birthday with some friends, and were seated at a beautiful booth. The food and drinks are delicious. As a south East Asian American, I felt that the cuisine was spot on and loved how all the flavors mixed together from dish to dish. The ambiance is charming, the decor is so beautiful, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I personally believe this is the best vietnamese Banh Mi in manhattan. I always get #13 which is the OG cold cut combo.

If you want to Introduce your friends to Banh Mi... bring them here.
First timers would probably like the #1 sandwich. Which is just bbq pork. Or the #10 which is the lemongrass pork sandwich.

Fast friendly customer service and very organized“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“Around 6:30 in the evening on weekdays, the store is almost full, business is pretty good, and the store also takes a lot of takeout orders.
The two of us ordered a bowl of mixed beef pho, a fried spring roll and a pork bun, and were very satisfied with everything. The fried spring rolls were very hot when they were freshly fried. They were crispy on the outside and filled with minced pork. They were delicious with the dipping sauce. There are three pork buns in a portion, and the fillings are crispy pork belly, pickled radish and sweet noodle sauce. This combination is unexpectedly harmonious and very satisfying. It is my favorite. The beef rice noodles contain beef tendons, beef slices and beef balls. There is not much meat but a lot of rice noodles. The soup is sweet and has a bit of Chinese medicine. It is just right for two people to share a bowl.“

“Chef Papa is an authentic Vietnamese spot and I loved the food here. The beef pho had a rich, flavorful broth, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the spring rolls were fresh and delicious. The beef sandwich was amazing and definitely a highlight. Everything tasted authentic and well made. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Vietnamese food!“

“The sandwiches and appetizers are so good. The meat is not over cooked and just melts in your mouth. Perfect meal for a cold rainy day. I do have to say the pho is not good though. Not very flavorful, we tried the all beef pho and the duck noodle soup which were both a miss.“

“Came in for the Pork Belly Banh Mi and was not disappointed by any means. Bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as it sopped up the juices from the pickled veggies and the sauce. The sauce is mild on the spice with a little tang which complimented both the pickled veggies and pork belly incredibly. Last but certainly not least, the star of the show, the pork belly was sooo tender it basically just melts in your mouth. 10/10 definitely recommend!“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Mam! We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us within 10 minutes of our arrival. I know we werr very lucky, but the team seemed incredibly efficient which I am sure was 80% of our luck. ;)

The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining what we were eating and how Vietnamese people typically eat the items. Each dish we had was fabulous in its own way. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant and fried vegetable rolls.

I don't think I have ever had Vietnamese food, but based on my experience at Mam I will plan to sample more.“

“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 😋“

“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!!!!“

“Sao mai is probably my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in NYC. The place is very cosy and  no-frills, the food is always so inviting and delicious, and price point is so good (especially in the city nowadays haha).

My favourite dish here is the bun bo hue. The broth is sooo fragrant -- just the perfect mix of spicy and sour (the lemongrass and shrimp paste flavours both taste so vivid without being too dominant). The noodles are cooked to a nice texture (and come in a large portion size), and the beef slices are so tender and flavourful. So delicious ... I'm getting hungry just writing this haha.

I also really like the bun thit nuong for one of the non-soup noodle dishes. The mix of lettuce and carrots is always so crispy and fresh, and the veggies complement the perfectly-grilled pork strips so well. Adding a bit of fish sauces adds a nice depth of flavour when mixed into the dry rice noodles, and every bite, combining a bit of meat, carbs, and veggies, is wonderfully balanced.

The pho dishes are also fantastic. Pho tai is a particular favourite (the beef slices are so juicy and tender), and the broth is just so aromatic without being too salty or oily.

The price point overall is so good -- it's hard to find such a good value in the city nowadays. The appetisers can be a bit pricey, relatively speaking (I like their summer rolls, but it feels like I should just get another entree at that point haha), but each bowl of noodles is usually in the mid $10-20. So worth.

I can't wait to come back again :)“

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

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“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.“

“I came to Em Vietnamese Bistro on a whim, craving something warm and comforting on a cold, snowy day, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and calm. The space is relaxed and spacious, with beautifully lit lighting that creates a cozy, welcoming vibe. It is the perfect place to enjoy a hot bowl of soup.
I ordered the Bún Bò Huế Đặc Biệt after our server, Mint, shared that it was her personal favorite. When I asked her to help me choose between the spring rolls and wings, she genuinely recommended the spring rolls, and I truly appreciated her honesty. Her warmth and attentiveness made the experience even better.
The food did not disappoint. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with a generous variety of meats that added depth to every bite. The spring rolls were perfectly crispy and, just as promised, absolutely delicious.
Overall, Em Vietnamese Bistro was a wonderful experience, from the ambiance to the service to the food itself. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, high quality Vietnamese food.“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“Tried their OG Banh Mi, and WOW.... the baguette was incredible, easily one of the best Banh Mis I've ever had. The coconut cream coffee was also delicious and paired perfectly with the sandwich. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu.

One tip: instead of waiting in line for hours, I ordered online for pickup. super quick and convenient. That said, I'd love to dine in next time to enjoy the full experience.“

“Nice place, good food, great service!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a cute and cozy spot! The food was super yummy, the vibe was chill and comfortable, and the staff were so kind—especially Pim, who made us feel really welcome 💕

I had the crunchy spring rolls and shrimp summer rolls (no pics because I was way too hungry 😅), then the Pho Dặc Biệt, Hanoi-style Banh Mi, and finished with the most perfect Flan Cà Phê.

💥 I dare you to try the Pho—the portion is HUGE and totally worth it! Trust me, you’ll leave full and happy 😊“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

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

“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!“

“Very friendly service,cute little shop with beautiful decorations and art. The house limeade is refreshing and sweet and the Bun bo hue was the best I ever had it was hearty and delicious. Favorite Vietnamese in the area.
2nd visit was just as good this time got the pho supreme its so delicious and warming especially during the winter and flavor is on point. Limeade was less sweet this time but still refreshing.“

“Really amazing food! We ordered Caramel Pork Banh Mi, Beef Bulgogi Bowl, and Kimchi Fries. Fantastic flavors and it just hit the spot after walking all over NYC. I ate the bowl before taking a picture because I could not wait. It just smelled so good. The spicy mayo sauce is so addictive and the fries were crispy and delicious. It's a small shop so there may not be enough space to sit if it's busy. But I would 100% be back the next time I'm in the city.“

“It was my first time trying Pho, and I genuinely didn't know what to expect. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! I had the beef brisket, and it was absolutely delicious. It made for such a comforting and enjoyable experience, and I'm grateful for the chance to try something new!“

“Omg this literally the best pho ever.
I had a LARGE beef brisket pho. The broth is to die for. That is a good thing after a hangover. The shrimp spring rolls are a good appetizer. The chicken and shrimp fried rice was amazing. The chicken noodle soup was the best ever. He had grilled chicken. My boyfriend needed this to revived himself. Chicken soup is good for the soul. The kind that says you matter and makes you feel you're blessed.

As soon as we got in they greet us with smiles and good tea. That's why we needed after a good night. Real soup is to the body what peace is to the soul. Soup is a symphony of flavors dancing on your tongue.

Thank you for having us and serving us with warmth greeting.“

“My husband and I came to dine for a last minute Sunday night dinner, and we will now be regulars here! The food tasted great, the waitress and Marty were very friendly, and given that I cannot eat soy they were very accommodating. As the fried rice is made fresh, they could make it without soy, and same for the beef. And also the Pho that my husband had is soy free and made with amazing rice noodles. Highly recommend stopping by for anyone in the area looking for a tasty bite. (They even gave a sample of the jasmine green milk tea. Cozy welcoming vibe from the staff!)“

“I've tried every single Vietnamese restaurant with Banh Mi around the Historic Downtown area and this place has the best sandwiches. Very sad I don't live closer to pick up the food or I would order more often. I've ordered dozens of times and the food & service has been consistently great. Highly recommend!“

“I am a native SF Bay Area woman with specific needs - and Banh Mi Place hits. Over the last 4+ years, I consistently enjoy the classic and braised beef as well as a grilled pork sparingly. Their summer rolls are filling and the peanut sauce is close to perfect.

I don’t often order pho from here, however I will pick up a side of broth almost every time I order.

Staff is attentive, communicative, and sweet.“

“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“

“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 😋“

“Great food Wonderful service. Definitely a neighborhood gem“

“This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in Manhattan! My whole family loves it, and we constantly crave their food! We love everything on the menu. The chef/owner is phenomenal, and Emily has been so incredibly kind to us every time we visit.“

“We absolutely love the food here! Everything is full of flavor and always tastes fresh. The portion sizes are very generous, so you definitely get great value for the price. The chef is originally from Vietnam, and you can really taste the authenticity and care that goes into each dish. We’ve been here many times, and it has become one of our go-to spots whenever we crave something delicious and satisfying. The prices are also very reasonable compared to the quality and amount of food you receive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty food, big portions, and a place that never disappoints!“

“Nice atmosphere for a place with standard Vietnamese fare. Prices were a bit high, but you're paying for the atmosphere, location, and good food. Pork chops were delicious. I enjoyed the tenderness and charring. The wrapper for the spring rolls had an interesting texture. They reminded me of a Chinese crispy birds nest but more delicate. The team serving us were attentive and efficient.“

“First time trying this spot, larger seating area than expected from passing by in the past and cute decor. My boyfriend got the grill beef banh hoi and I got the spicy lemongrass beef with fried rice. I also got the Thai iced tea. For appetizers, we had the spring rolls and Thai style fish cakes. We'd get every one of those dishes again and will definitely be back when it's cooler out for pho. The portion sizes were decent for the price as well, I think before I added on fried rice instead of white rice my meal was only $12. Service was great as well, so kind and attentive but not hovering!“

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

“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!“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

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

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

“I've been coming here for a few years and they have yet to disappoint, knock on wood!! They are like my second family at this point. Their Vietnamese coffee is to die for and I absolutely love their recipe for the Bun Bo Hue. The quality has NOT changed at all and I am grateful and also thankful they do not skimp out on the quality of their dishes. I really do hope and pray this place stays open for a long time.“
