Roast pork was a little inconvenient take out style though, would prefer a larger bowl with everything mixed rather than meat, rice, and vegetables separate“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“I've had Bahn Mi's all over NYC but this place is the most flavorful. They pack the sandwich with well marinated veggies, the meats are always tender and bread is nice and crusty. The prices are reasonable too at $11. I wish they offered appetizers too like fried spring rolls.“

“WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country. The portion sizes are excellent, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are rich and delicious! The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!“

Special Request > SALMON banh mi :)“

“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!!!!“

“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 😋“

“We were running late for our reservation, but the staff still welcomed us warmly and got us seated right away. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal.

We ordered quite a few dishes, and everything was delicious. The flavors were authentic and reminded us of the food back home in Vietnam. The portions and prices felt very reasonable for New York.

One of our favorite parts was the outdoor seating. Sitting on the sidewalk in small plastic chairs felt just like being back in Vietnam, enjoying street food on a busy afternoon. It created such a fun and nostalgic atmosphere.

If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, great service, and a unique dining experience in NYC, Mắm is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back the next time we're in New York!“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“The betel rolls and the pork apps were so good! The pho is delicious as well. I enjoyed my drink but wish there was more chilli salt.

Best of all, is how sweet and smiley the waitresses are. I know how hard the service industry can be, and smiling your way through it can be a whole ‘nother task. Thank you for providing us excellent service with a smile 🩵“

“The pork belly banh mi is the best banh mi I’ve ever eaten ngl. 9.8/10 it j wasnt cut all the way and the veggies ended up being all on one side 😭 the fried spring rolls were delicious too, highly recommend getting those two items. The ribeye banh mi was okay and the original one too. The coconut cream viet coffee is nothing too special and the summer rolls were very refreshing and great to snack on with the peanut sauce. But I will definitely be ordering the pork belly banh mi again.“

“my favorite vietnamese restaurant in the area—this place has gotten me through for YEARS. pho broth is so flavorful and the staff are really kind. recently brought a friend here who has a lot of allergies and they double checked with the kitchen and gave specific recommendations, honestly the most accommodating restaurant ive been to.“

“JoJu puts a modern spin on the Vietnamese sandwich, and I’ve enjoyed it several times now. One thing that stands out is their finely shredded đồ chua instead of the more traditional hand-sliced pickled carrots and daikon. It gives the sandwich a different texture and a milder flavor, which may actually be more approachable for people who find stronger pickled flavors off-putting.

I also appreciate their choice of bread. It still has a good bite, but it’s not overly sharp or tough the way some banh mi bread can be, which makes the sandwich much more enjoyable to eat.

The proteins are very well seasoned and marinated. You can really taste the lemongrass and BBQ notes, and overall, it’s a great product. I’m leaving 4 stars only because I added lemongrass chicken to the BBQ pork banh mi, and the extra protein portion felt a bit light considering the added charge. I understand it’s a small business and costs are always a factor, but as a customer, I’d probably skip the add-on next time unless the portion is a little more generous.“

“So happy I stumbled upon this restaurant - spent 2 weeks in Vietnam over Christmas and this brought me right back! Pho is just as amazing as in Vietnam - have tried a couple of places since back but this is just the best❤️
Very reasonable- super nice staff - very busy take-out but so nice to eat there too ! My new go to place when in the area and I will walk out of my way to get there !“

“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.“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“this place is no joke. This is the real deal if you love Vietnamese Pho this is where you should come very fresh fragrant, and well cooked menu options.

I’m a big soup and broth fan and I can tell good quality. Definitely come here for some good Vietnamese Pho soup

Their cabbage and chicken salad was also really really delicious and healthy“

“This is a food cart, but I’m still trying to find a better banh mi in the city! Recently tried some highly rated downtown options and let me tell you it was nothing compared to this cart! Also: very nice owner, great prices and freshness of ingredients.“

“Excellent food and a wide variety of options. Have enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“This place exceeded my expectations in every way. The menu offered many delicious options, and each dish was full of flavor and carefully prepared. The service was professional and quick, and the staff maintained a positive attitude throughout our visit. A wonderful restaurant for both casual dining and special occasions.“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Món nào cũng ngon , sẽ quay lại tiệm .“

“Delicious, flavorful, and authentic food with generous portion sizes for a good price. We were seated quickly. Dining staff were very attentive and welcoming.“

“I’ve been to quite a few Vietnamese places in the city but this place has my heart. The broth is so flavorful, and the prices are affordable. Customer service is quite good as well. I would eat there almost everyday if I could. It’s that good!“

“Popped in last night with 4 young adults. The staff were super friendly, really helpful and the Food was probably the best that I've had in NYC this week. Great range of food, reasonably priced and massive portions. The food was super quick arriving but we did not feel rushed at all and enjoyed and lovely evening. Would Recommend!“

“Delicious food and cool atmosphere. My place in NYC“

“I found this place on Google, and it’s truly a hidden gem near the World Trade Center. The pho is authentic, flavorful, and comes in generous portions. The prices are very reasonable—honestly quite affordable for New York. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese pho!“

“I love the #5 but it’s almost never available whenever I visit. Ugh. But I’m still giving tenten 5 stars because when I am lucky enough to order #5, I forgive them immediately. Other menu items are super flavorful, too. Also I love their condiments. Please please please sell your hot sauce separately!!!!!!“

“This restaurant is a gem. We loved the tasting menu, each dish was unique. There were five of us celebrating our anniversary. We were treated like royalty. The portions were large and the staff were very responsive to my gluten intolerance.
A special thank you to Valerie, who made the reservation and explained the foods to be avoided. We emailed one another and her special attention was far beyond my expectations.“

“Short Rib Pho was delicious..definitely coming back“

“The food is absolutely delicious, hearty, and really filling too. The owners and workers are super nice and accommodating as well. Love the atmosphere of the small shop and amazing set up they have here. I love their raw beef pho personally and their classic banh min. 100% recommend to anyone who wants some delicious, filling, and hearty Vietnamese food filled with love.“

“First time had an amazing experience. Fresh taste warm welcome. I enjoyed every bit of it. I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish because they only had large portions (which is ok) but I ate all the noodles. Tapped out at the broth lol 😂 but I will be back!“

“Came here for the pho and was not disappointed! Prices are great, portions were generous and food was delicious. I had the eye round pho; my vegan friend got the veggie pho and loved it! Definitely on our list to visit again 😋🍲“

“My favorite 🍜 place in the 🌎 😋“

“Chicken bunhmi (long sub sandwich) are delicious and great quick on the go food. Phos are delicious. Friendly service. Pay street parking is a bear. Small cozy indoor dining. Not a big menu but it's sufficient & satisfying for a light lunch.“

“Came here after a failed trip to Sojourn Social.

Got amazing service for my takeout order. The woman taking my order answered all of my questions and they immediately began working on my order. Once I ordered, she immediately walked to the back to make the coffee I ordered.

I also always feel at ease when I see staff taking their lunch break inside. One person (out of many!l was taking their break, and they were enjoying the food.“

“Tasty flavorful and delicious the bread is to die for“

“It’s easy to miss Mama’s Cupboard because of its sub-street level location. But you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its jazz bar ambiance. Thumbs up for the fried rice bowl lunch special ($14 plus tax). The crispy tofu remained crispy because it was placed on top rather than cooked with the rice. The Thai iced tea was served after the food came out, a bit odd when drinks are usually served first. Please note that the suggested tips are based on the taxed total.“

“I have found this place by chance. It's quite close to my place, but if you don't really look for it you won't find it. It's take out only. They have pho, bun bo, ramen and curry soup, along with bahn mi and other bowls. I loved the beef pho, and I really appreciate how they adjusted it to my taste. The portions are huge and the price is the best around. I would recommend trying all of their soups!“

“If you’re a fellow Columbia student seeking nourishment or just anyone who loves good pho, this is the best spot in the area by far. Truthfully, some of most delicious pho I’ve ever had (spent a month in Vietnam last year). It tastes authentic and high-quality. Such kind people as well. Support local !!“

“I really enjoyed the pho, especially the broth. It was very good. The portions are pretty generous and the prices are quite reasonable for the area. Their chili oil was also homemade and quite good. They have a small amount of seating but it is a tight-knit spot so during busier times you may prefer to get takeout or delivery instead.“

“Phở Grand is a long-running Vietnamese restaurant that has built its reputation around generous portions, comforting noodle soups, and a menu that goes well beyond pho. Located on a quieter stretch of Grand Street, the restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere that keeps the focus on the food. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, making it a reliable choice whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or a more relaxed dinner.

The pho is the main reason to visit, with a wide variety of options ranging from the classic combination beef pho to grilled pork, grilled chicken, seafood, and vegetarian versions. The broth is rich and comforting without being overly heavy, and the portions are substantial enough to make each bowl feel like a complete meal. Beyond the pho, the summer rolls and crispy spring rolls are great starters, while dishes like pork chops, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates provide plenty of variety if you're looking for something beyond soup. If you have room afterward, the mango sticky rice is a worthwhile dessert that finishes the meal on a lighter note.

One of the biggest strengths of Phở Grand is the value. The portion sizes are consistently generous, and the food typically arrives quickly even during busier periods. Service can feel a bit inconsistent depending on when you visit. Some meals are attentive and welcoming, while other visits may feel more rushed, particularly once you've finished eating. Even so, the kitchen operates efficiently, and the overall experience remains centered around getting satisfying food to the table without a long wait.

Overall, Phở Grand continues to be a dependable option for Vietnamese comfort food in the neighborhood. The combination of hearty pho, large portions, affordable prices, and a broad menu makes it an easy place to return to, especially if you're craving a warm bowl of noodle soup or a casual meal with plenty of options.“

“Have been coming here pretty frequently the past couple of years and the bubble tea is the best in the area. The owners are extremely kind people and make you feel like you are valued as a customer. Tried Banh Mi here for the first time and it surpassed my expectations.“
