50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Long Island City

“Yummy yummy Good service Nice place“

“I come here way more often than I’d like to admit. Excellent Banh Mi, I haven’t tried any of their desserts but they look good. The inside of the bakery is always very clean and the staff is attentive. I’ve tried almost all of the different Banh Mi options aside from the grilled chicken or shrimp. I really like the crispy flounder and you have the option to have it air fried which is great for me trying to eat healthy. The star of the sandwich is the veggies- crunchy and fresh also a big portion which I love. The bread is also always very fresh and crunchy. I work nearby so this is a great option for me. 11/12 per sandwich which isn’t that bad for the area. Highly recommended to try this place. The packaging is always very nice and neat. Can place an order for pick-up through Uber eats or the store directly. You can select your level of spiciness too which makes me feel that what I’m ordering is very authentic. Usually go for mild but medium is also good. Option of cilantro and/or harpoons in addition to what already comes on the sandwich.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Decent price, fast service, and fresh ingredients. I had the veggie banh mi; the bread was light, making it a healthy and satisfying sandwich with delicious herbs on it. The place it constantly busy. You can eat your food standing up on the side.“

“Very unique Vietnamese restaurant, the dishes are not like anything you'll find even in the edgier restaurants in NYC. I found the food very interesting, and I'm glad I tried it, but the flavors blended together, it lacked distinctiveness. The food is pretty shareable. The low tables on the sidewalk are cute, but didn't look very comfortable“

“EXCELLENT Vietnamese food. Best in the neighborhood and many more unique offerings than I see at most Vietnamese restaurants. I am very appreciative to the staff at Banh for being so kind and accommodating. I placed a delivery order through Square and there was an issue due to an error on Relay (the delivery app). It was not at all the fault of the restaurant but they still resent my order at no additional cost. They are wonderful!“

“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.“

“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 have been on the hunt for the perfect pate banh mi in manhattan and so far this is the winner! excellent sandwich, love the flavor of the pickled veggies, it has the crispiest bread ever, and theres even seating.
watch out with that crispy bread though! i personally liked it, but it is so crispy that i felt as if it cut the insides of my mouth.“

“The Banh Mi's could be the best in the City. Worth the trip! Had a Boneless Chicken Thigh banh mi and a Classic bahn mi. Both great! I have been here at least 10 times and it is always consistant. This is a take out place only. Buy a banh mi walk a couple of blocks to Central Park and sit in the shade and enjoy.“

“Great local pho spot. Crispy spring rolls and rib eye summer rolls are delicious! Great way to start before my signature pho. There’s a method to my madness when mixing my pho but the base brother is excellent, deep and flavorful but still light.“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“So nice, fast delivery I know you won't want to miss out“

“Wonderful experience. Food was amazing. Service was enough to keep you happy, but not intrusive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Sao Mai is my go-to Vietnamese restaurant and has been for the past seven years. My favorite dish is the cơm bù lúc lắc (beef cubes)—absolutely delicious. Their pho tai is incredible, and the shrimp summer roll is a must-try (I just add a dash of hot sauce to the sauce they provide). I love that it’s family-owned with a warm, friendly small-business atmosphere, and their prices are fantastic.“

“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!“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“I was doing some chores in the city and looked for a place for lunch and serendipitously entered. Small and Simple but really great. Most people seemed to work nearby. Menus looked great. I had Bánh mì that was superb and small pho broth that was sublime.“

“Recently opened, amazing pho, great atmosphere and even better service. Our waitress Erika was kind and efficient, she was able to provide great service to us. While there was great service there was also great food. From the pho to the thai tea it was fantastic. The cosy atmosphere only added to this experience. I would definitely recommend coming to this spot as it’s a great place to enjoy a meal with your friends.“

“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!!!!“

“Amazing food, excellent service“

“They take res via Yelp, FYI! We did a walk in for a party of 2 at 3pm on a rainy day and it was pretty empty. I had to wait for my friend and was allowed to sit and wait for her at our table. Staff here is very attentive and friendly.

The Pho here is more so like Northern pho, with the fatter vermicelli noodles. I enjoyed my Beef Pho and the broth was good. I was asked if I wanted fresh noodles or not, which was a question I was never asked at other viet spots before. I requested fresh noodles, which were a bit softer in my broth. Their fresh noodles are made daily vs their other kind of noodles made a day before - idk how much of a difference it would've been toh.

We also got their Spring Rolls to share, which were standard. It also came with pickled radishes on the side, which were nice and crunchy.

Overall, a decent neighborhood spot with good, yummy options. I've tried other apps here before (Banh Xeo and Chicken Wings) and they were great as well. Would recommend to others for a comfortable meal.“

“I had the beef pho, and it was tasty. The broth was flavorful, meat was tender, and I absolutely devoured it. (If you’ve never had pho, the beef is rare at first, but it cooks in the soup. That’s why it’s pink in the photo). The two friends I went with both ordered the chicken pho which they also loved.

I docked one star because the restaurant was sooo busy on the Monday evening when we went. We waited outside for 40 minutes, and I was getting hangry. In my opinion if you just want a plain bowl of beef or chicken pho it might be worth it to go somewhere less busy. As for their more specialized dishes, I would have to go back to try them!“

“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!“

“It was a really good pho, we really enjoyed the food here. Everything about it tasted authentic. One little thing about it was that there was no highchair for my baby so he sat with us. But other than that this will be my new favorite place“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“We liked this place very much. The food is great. I'm not Vietnamese but whatever I ate felt authentic. Nice flavors and satisfying quantities. The service and ambience were also good. It was a pleasure to dine here. We will surely visit here again.“

“Cozy neighborhood place with good service.
Summer Rolls was a bit dry, felt like it’s been sitting in the kitchen for a while.
Pho broth was great with good flavors. Rice noodles were a bit mushy.
Flan was very good.“

“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“

“Great Vietnamese spot in Fort Greene!

We stopped in for lunch around 2pm on a Sunday and there was plenty of space for walk-ins. It can be busy at night, especially on weekends, so going for lunch was perfect.

We ordered the crispy spring rolls, beef pho (which they split in two bowls for us) and the bahn mi sandwich. All were great and we left very full.

Service was very quick and just what we needed on a cold afternoon. Excited to come back to try other items!“

“I’ve been here twice and will continue to come back. I grew up in Vietnam and I’m always looking for authentic Vietnamese food in the NYC/JC area which in my experience is hard to come by. I’ve LOVED almost everything I’ve tried so far at Jersey Bánh Mì: grilled pork banh mi, nuoc mam wings, Thai iced tea, shrimp summer rolls, and their latest addition: bánh mì chảo (not yet on the menu, but coming very soon!). The bulgogi kimchi cheesesteak bánh mì wasn’t my favorite but that’s mostly because I’m skeptical about fusion dishes, but it wasn’t bad. The baguette used for bánh mì is always hot and crunchy just the way it’s supposed to be. The owner family is sweet and always hard at work. Thank you for bringing authentic Viet flavors to this area of Jersey City!“

“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 😋“

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“Went here on a rainy day with a hangover looking for a good soup.
I had the pork pho bo which was amazing. Also had the shrimp rolls.
Overall excelent experience. Good food served by good people.
I will surely come back here again👍“

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

“Great introduction to Vietnamese dishes across multiple regions of Vietnam not commonly found elsewhere (bánh cuốn, bún riêu, or xôi). Overall tasty & well-executed, but less than excellent versions of these dishes. Come ~ half an hour early to make the first seating.“

“We came here for dinner and we loved the food! I ordered the DAC BIET 55/PP because I wanted the lemongrass beef skewers with a bunch of small dishes; loved the flavors and presentation. My friend had the chicken pho and the broth was so good.

The location is super easy to get to, just a 2 min walk from the Morgan stop and a minute walk to Moondog HiFi.

The only thing I want to address is the noise level is unbearable. This is an ongoing issue for NYC restaurants and no one seems to care.

Restaurant owners, please take that into consideration when you design your next restaurant.“

“our server was very helpful and friendly. she answered all of our questions about the food I highly recommend the beef stew with noodles.“

“Bahn Mi is the best in the area. The bread is way better than 5ive Spice nearby. The shrimp spring roll was missing carrots and cucumbers, it was just noodles, greens, and shrimp. Left a lot to be desired, but the namesake item was very good and worth your time for sure. Definitely would recommend.“

“First week it opened sat down and food was amazing. I’ve ordered a handful of times since and not as good, but not bad.

Please add option on uber eats to include sauce with Bah mi sandwiches. I have to call every time and tell them, not sure why it just doesn’t automatically come with sauce packets…“

“We were looking for a place to eat while waiting for the time to visit ground zero. I went in and there was no room but it was freed up in 2 minutes. While we were reading the menu, we were served water (I specify because we hadn't ordered it). Let's get to the food. Very very abundant. The dry noodles with 2 types of pork ( belly and steak) were delicious. I recommend this place“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

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

“We walked in for a to go order, we had the beed and chicken banmi

Pro: beef bami was nice, it was my first time to try banmi, it was also refreshing with the cucumber and some other veggies in there
Pro: chicken banmi, i like the flavor, i prefer this more than the beef and the meat was generous

Cons: chicken was dry
Cons: beef could have added more beef

I would go back and buy the chicken banmi again.“

“Excellent food excellent service! Everything was so fresh and delicious.“
