I'm Vietnamese, and I love this place. The noodle soup rotates weekly, and if the beef pho is on the menu I highly recommend. The broth is layered and balanced, without the salt forwardness of other pho in the city. Last time I was here, they did a fun twist on a French dip sandwich, where the dip was the pho broth and it was delicious.
Essentially, you'll get classic Vietnamese dishes prepared with care, with occasional twists and reinventions that actually work. I think the banh beo is one of the best in the city, and the bun cha Hanoi actually has the concentrated, punchy, fishy sauce that's required.
My only quibble, the cafe sua da is watered down and needs to be stronger.

Very watery photo - lacking seasoning and depth and spices, not much meat, and it was $28 dollars 🤮🤢God New York needs to get with it!

I wanna like it and have tried it twice.
The first time they didn’t have any soups even though they had it on their menu.
The second time it took 5 minutes to get the servers attention, a copy of the menu and learn about seating availability
Poor service will not attempt again

Excellent ! We had diner there with a friend. The food was really delicious (seems quite authentique) very original cocktails and mocktails. Nice area to have diner
Had a pork belly dish in fish sauce soup. Wow, unbelievable flavors. The grilled chicken was also very good, moist and soft. Service was great and very helpful with recommendations and options. Very mellow atmosphere.

Amazing food with vegetarian options. Having recently visited Vietnam, Saigon Social definitely have authentic Vietnamese flavors which has been difficult to find in the city (besides bunmi). Servers were attentive and were helpful in explaining the menu and recommendations. The murals, especially the ones downstairs by the rr, were tasteful 😎. Highly recommend checking them out
The Banh Xeo had an excellent crispy texture and not a common dish in the us.
The Pho is tasty and while it’s labeled as a soup, it’s meal-size for one person.
The Bun Cha is my favorite. The meat is in a bowl of fish sauce so I don’t need to ask for more.
The Pandan cake with the coconut fluff cream really elevates the meal.

Super friendly and accommodating staff! I’m 37 weeks pregnant and they got me a chair with a back instead of a stool. They fixed an issue with a dish right away - the chef came out to serve us - and the food was delicious! Highly recommend.
