50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in New York

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

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

“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!!!!“

“Came for the pho but was pleasantly surprised by the banh mi sandwich. The baguette is crisp and soft, with flavorful fillings like grilled pork or chicken. The pho is also pretty good, especially the brisket which is tender. Prices are reasonable, with sandwiches around $10 and pho $12-15. Service is efficient, and the restaurant is cozy and clean.“

“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.“

“Ordered the grilled chicken thigh sandwich, beef summer rolls, & taro milk tea.
Grilled chicken thigh was juicy & flavorful, highly recommend.
(We ordered the pork bbq as well, it was sweet and packed with flavors)
It was huge & good bread to veggies-meat ratio.
The summer rolls would be better with shrimp instead of beef because the beef was cold but the rolls were still refreshing & hug. It comes out as 2 long rolls instead of the small 4 pieces one.
The taro milk tea was mid.
Hopefully they have a dine in option because their food is really good, they’re not stingy with their ingredients. Highly recommend.
They only take food to go, either come with a car or eat at the park nearby.“

“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 😋“

“Classic mom-and-pop style Pho spot. Although there’s a lot of elevated viet restaurants in NYC, sometimes I just prefer the laidback atmosphere and traditional dishes a mom-and-pop shop offers. Their pho broth is delicious and makes you wanting more. I also really like their calamari dish. Highly recommend.“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“Amazing food, excellent service“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Pho is very very delicious! This is probably the best pho I have eaten recently. I recommend the Special Pho which has tripe in it. I have visited many times. The soup is very sweet but not the kind of MSG soup that will make your mouth dry. The rice noodles are also very chewy and have no strange taste. The beef is also delicious and not dry. I think the beef balls are just average. The spring rolls and seafood soup are also very ordinary, I recommend eating Pho. However, it is currently closed for inside use and only for takeout.“

“My favorite 🍜 place in the 🌎 😋“

“The experience was very cozy, relaxed, no-rush, and memorable. We took the risk of going down the stairs into the dark, non descript restaurant on a cold, breezy day. It was a pleasant surprise to find the ambience and service so pleasant. I'll surely try there evening Jazz sometime soon.“

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

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

“Great Jazz on Saturday night! Great martinis and service!“

“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 😋🍲“

“Thai Son gets the job done. Perhaps it used to be better. I like that this spot is spacious and bright. The pho is alright, not the best, but, again, gets the job done.
I recently ordered their BBQ Pork Banh Mi, which came out to ~$15.50! (A bit pricey for a banh mi, if you ask me.) However, I was so hungry that I devoured it - it was delicious! The bread was nice and crispy and pork was grilled nicely.
The staff here is meh. I ordered my banh mi to go, sat on the side for over 10 min, and had to go up to the counter to ask for it. The banh mi had been sitting there, but I wasn't made aware that it was ready.. Anyway, I personally prefer Nha Trang One a bit more, right next door, for their pho, imo.“

“my go to spot for an awesome bowl 🥣🍜 of noodles“

“The steak 🥩 pho from two wheels is my favorite chilly day vibe 💫 Delicious 🤤 highly recommended“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“There Lichi Martinis 🍸DELICIOUS 😜“

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

“We had four different items and every one was sooo good. I can definitely recommend most of the menu because everything we had was that good. But if you're uncertain, just ask the friendly staff.

Hands down the best bakery/dessert café in NY.“

“I had their takeout so can't review the atmosphere but their food was the bomb! We had the free range chicken pho which was delicious! Light but flavorful. The chicken pieces were a mix of white and dark but not the chewy dark pieces. I also was not super thirsty right after the meal which means they don't use MSG or any other chemicals to enhance the flavor.We also got their summer rolls which super fresh and so delicious.
Packaging of the food was super tight and thoughtful- no spills.
Def will be ordering again!“

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

“Such a cute spot! TLDR: great sandwich, customer service, value

I was craving a bahn mi while downtown and stumbled upon this shop. The spicy shredded chicken sandwich was divine. The chicken was tender, the veggies were crisp, and it was the perfect amount of spice. The bread was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside - perfect for bahn mi!!

It was a great value for the portion size in this neighborhood.

The person who helped me at the register was very polite and kind! Definitely great customer service.

It’s definitely more of a “hole-in-the-wall” kind of place, but seems like a well kept secret. Will def have to come back and try the bubble tea combo.

Thanks Henry’s!!!“

“I ordered 3 bowls of Vietnamese Pho noodle soup for myself and my traveling partners when I was in NYC.
Look at the bowl!
A big hearty bowl of beef soup!
😍🥢

The standard was the same as those I ate in Asia and Vietnam (Hanoi). Love it! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Small place for takeout. Was craving bahn mi and got bbq pork. Pork was really tasty. would get without mayo next time given fatty pork. Pickled carrots were not very or at all pickled (which the sandwich really needed). I’ve had a lot of banh mis and can’t tell you what is authentic or not but not my favorite type of bread. It’s like an old school French bread. Yes there is a crust but it’s not crusty. So no real crunch from crust, more chewy. Not my favorite style. Not sure about trying other things. Could not find the words “nước chấm” anywhere…“

“Only 4 1/2 stars due to lack of bathroom. Can't eat anywhere without having access to one.
Got take out food today for the first time. I am no expert on Viet sandwiches but this one today was the BEST I've had. It was served warm which made a huge difference to me. Stuffed with all sorts of good things. Also had dumplings and mock duck w/basil. Everything really delicious. Highly recommend for take out. Not super cheap but worth it now and then.“

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

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

“Superbowl Pho – The grilled meat is incredibly tender, making every bite satisfying.

Tofu Curry – A great balance of flavors with just the right level of spice.

The staff – Super friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience.

Happy Hour – Their $5 wine deal is unbeatable!

The best part? The jazz music and modern vibe, setting it apart from traditional Vietnamese spots.“

“Love it. One of the best place“

“This bowl of beef pho looks delicious! The soup is clear and exudes an attractive aroma. The beef slices were big and tender, and the pho was slippery. Coupled with mint leaves, chopped green onions and onions, the taste is rich and fresh, and it tastes so satisfying!“
