Really enjoyed this Vietnamese spot! The pho were amazing and hearty, came in generous portions as well. Not too many tables so be prepared for a bit of wait during the weekend.

A sweet Vietnamese eatery for dine in or take away. Good food and beer. We ordered tamarind wings, summer rolls with tofu and vegetables sides with Lao beer.

Good service and atmosphere, but I was a little underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the bun bo hue but I think the kitchen might have forgotten to add spice to it (as you can see in the picture, there's no chili or red at all) and there was no spicy taste to it. The onions were a little thick/raw and I was also surprised that the bun bo hue and pho are served with lemon, not lime.

Went for lunch and had the Pho Bo. Beef was appropriately rare and they use broader noodles that don't stick in a giant blob. Broth was very rich and flavorful. The menu also had a good amount of banh mi selections and Vietnamese appetizers. No Hanoi style bun cha, though!

The place is pretty informal, with limited seating. I suspect they have a wait later in the day for the dinner hour. Prices were average for the area, so not notably cheap but also not too expensive.

Tamarind chicken wings and pho is the best. Hands down one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in BK. If you like spicy, ask for the house chili sauce. You’ll thank me later. Beware: it’s spicy, use with caution.

Banh mi sandwiches didn't have the tangy picked vegetables I like, but the pho and wings were good.

Nice dining room and relaxing setting.

Nice list of cocktails but not too many other authentic items on menu for lunch. Ended up getting meatballs

Okay so, so you want to be whisked away to Hoi Ann or Hue Vietnam? Come here! This small quaint spot in Williamsburg Brooklyn brought tears to my eyes as they brought my taste buds back to my days living in Vietnam. The food is freshly prepared and the staff, sweet and helpful with suggestions. The food is delicious but don't order with your eyes or you may find yourself with too much food to eat. This place gets my money at least once a week.

Great staff, even better food and a cute space that felt authentic and modern. Most people are used to Southern Vietnamese food so it was a surprise when it turned out to be Northern! The pho broth was excellent and homemade, not the cubed broth flavoring a lot of other restaurants use. The appetizer portions were quite large for lunch and our group realized halfway through that we might have ordered too much! I would definitely return.

Got a table outside and enjoyed the food so much! High quality meat was used and very good portions for the price. Especially loved the very kind and attentive service despite having one of few outdoor tables. Will be coming back!
Jumped on the food as soon as it came but got shrimp summer rolls, vermicelli lemongrass chicken bowl and beef pho :)

Great local Vietnamese spot in Williamsburg. Both quality of food & portions were very good. Service was friendly and ambiance was convivial. We got the veg spring rolls and Bun Ga Nuong (lemongrass chicken with vermicelli) and both dishes were delicious. The lemonade with basil seed was too sweet so would skip. Otherwise lovely experience.
