Their pho broth + lime + chili sauce is so good. I also love their rice noodle.

06.09.2025, ordered at the counter at 12.26pm:

I was very excited to come try this new place, marketing they serve ORIGINAL hanoian phở and serve it FAST which is the basics as the broth is cooked for hours before, sometimes overnight and is already ready to be served.

I ordered no 6, phở gà (chicken soup).
It took 50min for the waitress to come back to me and say they were having an issue with the broth and cannot serve what I ordered. So I had to change my order, no problem.

The real issue here is how come it took 50min for the kitchen/staff to inform the customer he/she won't get what she ordered. Anticipation and professionalism are clearly missing here.

Knowing that the broth should be already ready to be served... They should have known way before about that issue and that they would not be able to serve that dish.

Taste wise, the broth was clear and tasty but not tasty enough to my vietnamese standards. The flavours were not deep as it should be as per hanoian kitchen. The northern kitchen uses less products and add-ons than the southern kitchen. The taste should be more pure and deeper. It was good enough for NYC but not so OG as per SoCal or Vietnamese expectations, I guess can't expect more :(

I'm sadly writing this review as I'm so disappointed...

Ensure you experience this place. Their food never disappointed, to be clear. The costs here are justified by the restaurant's position. Customer care here shows extraordinary quality. This restaurant creates returning customers.

Had the Ap Chao for lunch here yesterday and it was delicious. Also nice service and love the vibe in the restaurant. Spent a month in Vietnam and while I am no expert this place really really hit the spot!

Pros: Amazing broth. Homemade chili & garlic vingear were nice touches. The Quáy is soft, chewy & not oily.

Cons: Noodles were overcooked & clumped meaning it was pre-cooked & sitting. Flank was tough & clumped so also pre-cooked & sitting. Flank cooks really fast so no need to prep. At $17 a bowl, a proper bowl would be preferable but instead the hot broth is served in a plastic to go bowl. Also the cashier asked for a tip before we even sat down. Being that this isn’t a service style restaurant, a cashier expecting a tip especially before we even sat down is crazy.

A lot of potential but not worth the price in my opinion. Would rather go to Mắm at this price point which is a 5-7 minute walk away. If Tènten can put more care into the meat & noodles as they did the broth, it would definitely be worth the price.

Because the broth was very good, I’ll check back in a few months from now to see if maybe I just happened to catch them on a bad day and update my review.

If you’re looking for quality authentic Vietnamese soups, it’s the place to go. Being familiar with Vietnamese food, even in Vietnam, but within the soup realm only familiar with Pho, I was recommended the Tai Gau. The broth is delicious and the staff super friendly. I was able to try a a new tamarind drink they offered me and it’s quite delicious! The atmosphere is simple canteen style. Highly recommended!

Excellent northern style pho, great tasting broth. If you dine in, it’s a small space so not good for big groups.

There was a pho Hanoi place in Manhattan that closed down during pandemic, for years there hasn’t been a good Hanoi pho place in Manhattan. To my surprise, I saw this place on uber eats, didn’t hesitate to try it out. Hanoi pho has a special place in my heart since I spent 1/3of my life there. The flavor is a bit on the weaker side but with the fresh noodle and crispy quay, they’ve earned the 5 stars. I didnt have nuoc mam at home,but if i did I would put a lil bit more just to complete the savory balance.
Can’t wait to try it at the resto with the Banh mi.
