Was truly disappointed with the food here. I really wanted to like it as I don’t feel I’m too picky with food but my friend and I ordered the spring rolls and the combo pho, and we were not impressed.

The spring rolls tasted like rubber and the peanut sauce was mostly just creamy peanut butter but somehow tasted more bland than regular peanut butter. Mainly just lettuce in the rolls and we were just chomping like rabbits.

The pho was a bit tasteless and the meat quantity was quite sparse. Won’t be coming back.

Not worth it.

I ordered the pho and summer rolls for lunch - total around $23.50 w/ tax

$7.50 for 2 summer rolls was on par for what I expect, but it was lacking heavily. Don’t let the picture deceive you, the shrimp looks massive, but it’s sliced very thinly and you barely notice it when eating. The vegetables are just chopped lettuce, a pinch of vermicelli noodles, and a single mint leaf. Usually you’d see some cucumber or carrot - but the roll was absolutely barren. The peanut sauce was fine but it really feels like youre eating a whole lot of nothing.

The pho, for about 14.50 - not great. I’ve had better for cheaper, but I’d also pay more for it to be better. The broth tastes like pho, but it lacks that deep flavorful breadth you’d expect from such a rich broth. Not to mention - i feel that the noodles and meat are way less than what you’d expect. Usually some restaurants offer extra noodles so you can finish off your soup, but I definitely wouldn’t here.

This is a solid affordable Vietnamese joint. We had a pho, and a vegetable bún, both tasted fresh and great. The service is also great, not loud and pushy. I’ll definitely come back!

I’ve only ever done take out, but the food never fails! And Also the vegetarian options are amazing. The spring rolls can be very bland so not worth getting the vegetarian option but everything else is great!

Banh mi was so dry… other places usually put a really good sauce inside, and cilantro, other things.

I rarely leave reviews online. But I must say. This place is amazing!! I got shredded chicken banh mi, papaya salad, iced coffee and desert. They all tasted absolutely delicious!! Papaya salad veggies were super fresh. And the portion size?? AMAZING!! recently portion sizes at restaurants sizeably decreased especially for salads. But this place surprised me!! The baguette for the bread was also fresh and light and was toasted to perfection. Deliver was right on time! Which is a whole another level of skill in nyc. Thanks to everyone working there and keep up the good work!! I'm so glad to have found this place. I will be a regular!

The food is mostly frozen food but it's a solid standard casual spot. Good vegan pho broth! Nice people!

Vegetarian options: Vegan options clearly marked

Left really disappointed as I’ve been here before 6 months ago and a year ago and it was great not sure if something changed but every thing was just overall not good I ordered spring rolls and they were really small and tasted mushy then the chicken wings and fries tasted microwaved and it wasn’t even actual chicken wings more like fried bits of left over chicken I ordered the chicken pho and super bland. My friend got the pork over rice and tasted tough and lacking flavor also incredibly small portion even for the dinner menu. We also ordered passion fruit boba tea and was super watered down. I left really upset as I was excited to eat here since I’ve been before but left just overall really disappointed. I spent 80 dollars for 3 meals and an appetizer which is fine but the quality was super sub par.
Cyclo in LIC is a better pick spent around

Beef pho was lacking flavor. Crispy spring rolls were disappointing. The fried dumplings were good though...

The service was really very bad and the food also not worth being there or buying it. I recommend going to a different restaurant.

i don't expect anything to compare to west coast vietnames, but in a moment of weakness i ordered in the hopes it would scratch the itch, even if imperfectly. would not order from here again. the food was not overly flavorful and half the meat was inedible because of the amount of gristle.
