50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Astoria

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

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“

“I love pho, and I was stoked to find this pho spot in Astoria.
I loved their pho broth; it was super strong, a little salty, but totally good.
I actually finished all my soup, which is rare for me since I usually don't drink or eat soup.
I just wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price. The noodles weren't enough for me; it'd be cool if they had an option for extra noodles or a larger size. But definitely a good place to go, especially in winter, cold weather!“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“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.“

“Drinks are extremely unique and delicious. Loved the use of the shrimp paste in their drinks. It adds just the right amount of nuance in a drink. Banh mi was also delicious and it was great that it came with a side of truffle soup. Earth and Nicky were fantastic at the bar. Cant wait to come back with friends soon.“

“The Bad :
Take Out only
No Tofu options
Veggie Summer roll inedible due to yellow colored iceberg lettuce.

The Good :
Veggie dumplings Big and stuffed with quality veggies unlike most Chinese places. Enjoyed them very much.
Grilled salmon in ginger sauce with bok choy and brocoli delicious .
White rice sticky and great flavor just plain.“

“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!“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“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.“

“Love the food. Staff pretty friendly. Sometimes I call in ahead to order. Love their popular #1 bbq pork, and I asked for extra spicy which is a good level spicy for high spicy tolerance ppl lol. I think there's no bathroom available. There's sitting area but limited.“

“i am vietnamese and this gave me hope about the viet food scene in nyc.

that brisket banh mi was one of the best banh mi's i've ever had. also got their bùn sườn chả giò which was pretty decent. can tell the meat is good quality.

if i'm ever in the uws, would def make a pit stop here“

“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!!!!“

“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 😋“

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

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“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!“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“Fantastic Food with both traditional and original Vietnamese dishes!!! Cash only but worth the visit every time!“

“I love this place very much. I have to write a review because this place is very special to me now and I have to express my gratitude. I've been coming here with my father for some time now, and today we had the super delicious crepe, calamari, and pho, SO DELICIOUS and after finishing the meal with my father, he said that it has been a while since he ate so deliciously. Because of things that have happened to our family in recent years, meals that feel warm don't come as often anymore. So him saying that today filled me with relief. We always leave Sao Mai smiling because we eat so much and laugh about how full we are. In this restaurant, I get to have a meal with my father that feels so welcome, and provides me with a comfort of being in the moment with him.

Every single meal we have here is met with the utmost care, not just because we are customers, but because we can tell that they really do care. I truly truly truly cannot recommend this place enough. The pho is so hearty, their apps are unmatched, and seriously a gem. Also their Vietnamese iced coffee? OOOOOOOOO it is so good. It is strong AS IT SHOULD BE and just refreshes me everytime. SAO MAI MY DAD AND I LOVE YOU!“

“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.“

“The food here is soo good. Every now and then I stop buying food outside because food is way too expensive and sometimes it’s just not that good. I was so hungry and walked by and wanted to finally try it after having passed it a few times… No regrets at all!!! The staff there are so patient and chill. I got the lemongrass chicken rice bowl and it was just so good. Decent prices, clean shop with seating, good flavorful food. Dk when I’ll be back but I’m excited to try some other stuff“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“The food is fresh and amazing. So happy there’s a Vietnamese spot in the neighborhood. Yay for bun Bo hue (and everything else; their Vietnamese iced coffee has sustained the addiction I acquired while in Vietnam wonderfully). Cocktails very good as well“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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 😊“

“EDIT: I take my pho reviews very serious. I’ve been here 3 times. The first 2 times were great. The 3rd time on April 4, the broth was not the same. The meat was not tender. The service felt unwelcoming. I brought my friends from out of town here and was disappointed. For 5 stars you have to be consistent. After this time, I may not go back.

To be fair, below was my first review:

I’ve traveled the world looking for different pho spots. This place is what you’re looking for. Their coffee is also great, not too sweet.“

“This is a food cart, but I’m still trying to find a better banh mi in the city! Recently tried some highly rated downtown options and let me tell you it was nothing compared to this cart! Also: very nice owner, great prices and freshness of ingredients.“

“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 😋“

“This has got to be some of the best pho broth I have had in the area, to the point where I did not need to put any sauces to alter the taste. The beef combination had the perfect amount of meat and noodles to satisfy, not too much and not too little. I highly recommend the spot. 10/10.“

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

“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!“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“My friends took me here and I honestly enjoyed everything we ordered. The flavors felt fresh, balanced, and very comforting from start to finish. Every dish that came to the table disappeared pretty quickly, which is usually a good sign.

That being said, I do not have enough experience with Vietnamese cuisine to judge how traditional or authentic it is compared to other places. I can only speak as someone who simply enjoyed the meal a lot.

The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and it felt like one of those places people come back to regularly. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu next time“

“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 ☀️“

“Their grilled pork bahn mi (extra meat, extra mayo) is still the best banh mi I’ve had in the city after 5+ years here. Doesn’t hurt too that the staff is so kind and the prices are great! Really a takeout/delivery spot - there’s not a lot of seating. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I have been to this place every other day the past month, and countless times before that. The food is mouth watering, this is coming from someone who has been to more countries than holes on his body.

The staff are also very friendly and willing to accommodate reasonable requests! I love Pho Express!“

“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 have to say this place is now one of my absolute favorites. It’s been a week and I’m still obsessed with the food. I’m heading back as soon as I finish this because it was that incredible.
We found it by accident—the amazing smell pulled us in while heading to a nearby café. We both got brisket pho: my husband with extra noodles and meat, me with lemongrass spicy broth and extra meat. The flavors were perfect, tender brisket, just the right kick. We were too busy savoring to talk at first.
Our server was so sweet and offered us free sodas on the house when she heard it was our first time. The vibe was cozy and relaxed.
The french fries looked amazing next door—next time we’re sharing them for sure.
If you love Vietnamese food, go! Everything was spot on. Can’t wait to be back 😊“

“Hola la Pho is a health conscious and vegetarian’s dream! This is going to be a place I look forward to ordering from again and again.

I ordered the Pho Chay to go and it was EXCELLENT! They package everything separately with care keeping the broth separate from the noodles, veggies and noodles and toppings as well as a great selection of sauces and toppings were included.

The broth is so flavorful and the vegetables are crisp and fresh. The portions were generous. I am over the moon with how excellent the food is!

Picking up my order the restaurant was clean and service was nice and prompt. I loved it here and will be back thank you!“

“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.“

“Incredible vietnamese dishes. We triend several amd are always impressed. Never been disappointed yet. Their pho is great but try the other dishes too. They also have regular specials. Also highly recommend their desserts. Flan, cale, and rice pudding are really excellent.“

“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!“
