“Let me start off by saying, if you want to complain about prices, don't even walk in the door. To get the optimal experience at any restaurant, you have to pay to play. So expect to spend about $70-100 per person here, this is a spot you take someone on a knock-it-out-of-the-park date or group gathering, you can't be a cheapskate. Now, to the food. Vietnamese BBQ is an intimate experience. Order the 7 course beef so you can try everything while the staff explains and helps you cook your meat. The electric grills are of the highest quality, the same ones they use at high-end Japanese yakiniku places, so the smoky taste on your cooked beef will be perfect. If you want to order a la carte, I highly recommend the Tomahawk, Madame Prawns and Charred Uni. Like I said, this is a place where you share your meal with friends and family so all the food is portioned that way.“
“Nestled in the lively West Side, Obao is like that cool friend who knows all the culinary secrets. The beef pho? It's like a flavor explosion, but I could've gone for an extra sprinkle of bean sprouts for that extra crunch. And don't get me started on the Thai tea—it's like a sweet nostalgia trip, just a heads-up, ask for less milk if you're not big on the sweetness.My friend went for the udon noodles with shrimp, and man, it was like a savory punch in the taste buds, a bit like when two pop culture icons collided in that viral meme.To top it off, Obao surprised us with two cocktails as a thank-you for our review. They were like little works of art, not just in taste but in presentation too. Obao isn't just about food; it's about creating experiences that make you want to come back for more.“
“It was an amazing experience that I give 5 ⭐️’s The menu was innovative and interesting and I love that the chef guides all the courses that come out of the kitchen. Being sea to table ensures the highest quality food and the technique from chef Daniel shines through in every dish. I will definitely be back!“
“Small shop on the edge of Chinatown but the banh mi is awesome. They have a regular and a spicy version. Get the spicy. Definitely worth stopping in for pick up, not really a dine in spot but the price is right and the place is clean. Good service and lots of locals seem to pick up from there.“
“Went here for the vegan banh mi. The guy running the counter and everything was very nice and place has no dining, so everything is take out. It is also CASH ONLY, although they do have an ATM machine inside. A little disappointed w/ the sandwich overall. He asked if I wanted mayo. Odd...considering you offer a vegan option but ask about mayo. At a minimum, offer vegan mayo as they are widely available now. The tofu just didn't "hit" like I thought they would. They were not as firm and so became somewhat soggy which changes the texture of the overall sandwich. It was okay, just not a great choice overall.“
“This is probably the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in NYC (get the Pho or any Bánh Mi!). Authentic and super fresh ingredients, paired with an energetic atmosphere, almost made me feel like I was in Saigon! Extremely kind and generous staff to top it off as one of the most pleasant NY restaurant experiences.“
“This place is excellent. We went on a Wednesday so I can't speak to what the weekends are like, but the service and pacing was on point. The food...wow. Everything was delicious. That short rib grilled cheese, mochi dumplings, chicken salad, turmeric branzino. Yum! I had the White Tiger cocktail and it was perfect -- great way to kick things off. I also appreciate that the music volume was not too loud (an ongoing issue across NYC dining), and the 90s rock jams (Pixies, Sonic Youth, etc.) added a nice vibe to the evening. Definitely planning to go back and will recommend to friends!“
“So pleasantly surprised. Walked into Cloud because I was visiting my niece who was living on that block and the evening was too cold to walk far. We walked in to a warm, welcoming, lovely setting and were met immediately by an equally welcoming wait staff. The next pleasant surprise was the quality of taste of the food. We ordered the shrimp rolls, the mango salad and the seafood noodle soup. Both the mango salad and the seafood soup were outstanding. Will definitely try to make my way to that part of town to enjoy this gem of a restaurant.“
“I had the chance to grab dinner here during the week with a friend. We had made a reservation for a Wednesday evening around 6 and honestly, it doesn't seem as if this is needed since the restaurant opens at that time and there weren't many people waiting when they opened their doors. We were seated immediately when we arrived and given menus to look over before placing our orders. I decided to go with the pho bo noodle dish ($19) with oxtail. This dish is exactly what I needed on a cold February night and hit the spot in more ways than one. The staff was super efficient and attentive to our needs. The restaurant itself was spacious and had a really interesting mural of nighttime Hanoi which was really cool. This spot seems great to have some interesting Vietnamese dishes. Visit with friends for a guaranteed good meal!“
“Hanoi House is one of my favorites. I have tried almost everything on their menu over the years and never had something I didn’t love. Their cocktails are amazing - the bamboozle was definitely our favorite. I always love to add the bone marrow and breadstick to my pho order. The bahn mi is easy to overlook, but it is absolutely amazing.My only complaint is that they do not keep their dessert on the menu consistently. I would order it every time if it was available.“
“Delicious Vietnamese restaurant, simple but perfect in price, quantity and quality of food. We had spring rolls, chicken pho which was huge and the braised beef which was also very good. It's not easy to find, we saw it by chance, you think it's closed. It's worth looking for!“
“After a cold and rainy day in NYC, this is exactly what we wanted. Happened to stumble upon this restaurant online and ordered Pho delivery. It was THE BEST pho broth we’ve ever had. I wish I had ordered it one more time before coming home. So good!“
“Everybody knows this the best spot for bun Bo hue in the city, 100% recommend it and it seems like from what I’ve had, that this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in the city!!Whether you’re a transplant from Texas or Cali missing good pho, or a native New Yorker trynna try some true authentically good pho with a. Classic timeless Vietnamese recipe, this is THE spot to go!!!“
“Best banh mi in NYC.Saigette is a standing-room-only hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. “Restaurant” could be too strong a word for what is essentially a kitchen with an entry way for guests.Do not be fooled by its modest appearance for within that hole is best grilled pork bahn mi you’ll ever have in ya god damn life.Love this place“
“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!!!!“
“This was my first time here and absolutely loved it. It’s got a nice casual atmosphere, friendly servers, and large portions of great food. I started with the crispy spring rolls which were decent but it was the pho that really did it for me. These are some large bowls so you’re definitely getting value here. But they don’t sacrifice quality - the broth was super flavorful with perfectly cooked noodles and lots of tender meat. I usually get the pho my first time at a Vietnamese place but really want to come back to try their banh xeo which is pretty rare to find in NYC.“
“Had the best dinner at Nom Nam! Definitely get the pate, it made in house and so so so good. The baguette they use is also so good. It’s soft on the inside and toasted on the outside. Every dish was flavorful and so fresh. I’ll definitely be back!“
“I had a lovely and memorable dining experience. I ordered the Spring rolls (which were delightful by the way): fried goodness served with lettuce wraps and julienne veggies. Super fresh and No guilt! My server, Alex, was what made the night! Although the spring rolls are served with fish sauce (delish!) Alex told me about the restaurant’s homemade soy sauce and offered to bring me a sample. What an amazing flavor profile: I happily alternated each bite between the two sauces. Sweet than savory—repeat. Also fun is the speakeasy style restroom and the sign above the toilet gave me a chuckle: “seat yourself.” Thanks for making my Friday night, Alex and 5Spice!“
“was packed but had a great time here. Charlie the bartender was so sweet and super attentive even when it was so busy. thank you for a great night Charlie!! the lychee martinis are so worth the hype for just $8, they’re dangerously delicious!“
“Best meal of our NYC weekend was at Madame Vo. Arrived without a reservation at 5:30pm (opening) on a Saturday and the restaurant very quickly filled up. The pork vermicelli was fantastic. The pork was deliciously glazed and blended so well with all the flavours in the bowl. To me, the deep fried spring rolls resembled Chinese spring rolls more than Vietnamese, but they were so tasty regardless. Nice to have sliced jalapeno peppers served with the pho, instead of only the usual thai chillies.“
“I found this little Vietnamese cafe. I ordered the salad noodle bowl with grilled chicken and a smoothie. I really liked the rice noodle, it’s really fresh and matches well with the sauce. Cafe was spacious with plentiful of seats. I would come back again ?“
“Good Vietnamese comfort food! One bowl and pho and your cravings are satisfied! Location: It is located in Noho. There is indoor and outdoor seating! Very compliant with covid precautions. The indoor is typical Vietnamese restaurant! Bathroom is only one, so you have to fall in line. Service: the servers are very nice! Very knowledgeable in what’s on the menu. Very friendly as well. They don’t rush you to leave the restaurant. Food: Hit and miss at their menu! FRIED CRAB CAKE: it was okay, tasty and soft. But probably will try other appetizers. GRILLED PORK CHOPS PHO: omg it is soo good! A little bit salty but the broth together with the pork chops is so delicious! Good amount of pork in there too! VEGETARIAN PHO: it was good as well, the broth is beef tho but there is a lot of veggies inside! THAI ICED TEA: it was okay, there is a lot more better thai iced tea than this. Price rating: 6/10, not bad for the deliciousness! Typical price for a pho. Definitely will come back here if I am craving for pho! Will try their other flavor of pho!“
“Great (huge) sandwiches, great price, and the owner is a great guy.He had already closed up and turned the grill off when I came up to him and fired it back up to get me a banh mi. I didn’t ask him to and told him it was alright but he insisted.I furthermore didn’t have cash so he made it work with one of the other carts so i could get my sandwich.“
“We arrived bright and early to try this place. We have been seeing it all over TikTok and had to try it out. We were about the first ones to arrive so we got seated pretty quickly. It has a very rustic and minimalistic vibe! I ordered a coconut Viet coffee, frilled prawn skewers and the pho with a poached egg. I really enjoyed the coconut Viet coffee, loved the creaminess of the coconut and it balanced well with the bitterness of the coffee. The prawns were a good size, I loved the bit of spicy flavor and the charred aroma from grilling it. The pho was definitely the star of the show, the broth was flavorful and balanced. The noodles were cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the poached egg on top. I can with my Viet bf and a friend who is from northern Vietnam and they both really enjoyed it and felt like it was very authentic. I would definitely come back and try again! The only thing is the prices were on the more expensive side but the flavors were delish!“
“Cha Pa's Noodles and Grill is a must-visit for Pho lovers! Their soup is simply amazing, with rich flavors and perfectly cooked noodles. The broth is flavorful and comforting, making it the perfect choice for a cold day or any day you're craving something warm and delicious. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality you receive. If you're in the mood for Pho, Cha Pa's Noodles and Grill is the place to go!“
“When I go out for dinner, I can eat a bowl of beef noodle soup just like in Vietnam, grilled chicken rice is also very delicious.I'm visiting Vietnam so I only go to eat Vietnamese food, but now I park my car nearby because it's delicious and delicious ?đ“
“Stopped in for dinner. It’s a very popular place for people dining alone- more than half of the tables were singles. I ordered the shrimp pancakes for appetizer and the vermicelli bowl with chicken for a main. Both were delicious and light. I wish the food would’ve been faster out - the table next to me sat down after me and was done eating before I got my app. ( pho does come out quick). Very good dinner.“

“Everything was fantastic, both the food and the service. We ordered banh mi, chicken rice noodles, and mango sticky rice. It was so delicious that we were left wanting to order more things from the menu. I would go back if I could. Greetings from Spain!“
“LOVEEE love mama! The staff is so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and so authentic. We got the Thai tea, the beef rendang, peanut dumplings, and basil chicken kra pao. Everything was 11/10. Couldn’t recommend more. Will be coming back weekly.“
“Food 10/10 Decent number of selections, and it has a lot more options than just pho. All the food on the menu has a picture as well, which made it so much easier to choose Service: 10/10 I went with a group of 8 and we were seated as soon as we arrived. The food arrived at a reasonable time as well especially considering we have a big group of Ambiance: 10/10 Pretty clean, nice and spacious considering it's in Chinatown. Would definitely come back“
“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.“
“Be prepared for a wait. But the pay off to a delicious deep umami pho awaits you. Probably one of the best pho in NYC. The soup was not super beefy but had a deep umami flavor to it. Noodles were done just right and the beef balls were bouncy and juicy. The portions are not huge but gives you room to order other appetizers like the delicious spring roll. Will be back to try other things on the menu. Service was prompt but nothing to write home about - you won’t be ignored but it’s transactional. Definitely warrants a repeated visit.“
“Our Vietnamese stopover for 10 years when we stay in New York. Authentic, family-style cuisine, real availability and efficiency in service. Soups, salads, noodles or rice. Everything is perfect, fresh and delicious. A reference in Vietnamese cuisine that we love.Dietary restrictions: Multiple choice and adaptable cardKid-friendliness: It’s a restaurant where all ages and regulars and people passing through come together.“
“We hit up Phoshime, primarily to have some warm, filling food after a long cold day in the city. Phoshime had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. The ambience was okay, it wasn't very busy for seated dining. The servers were extremely friendly, attentive and polite. Our food came out quickly and was flavorful and delicious. My only complaint was that I had 3 pork bones in my noodles, 2+ inches long! I can see how this happens once, but finding 3 was excessive. I mean... you could break a tooth or choke or something if you weren't careful! Despite the bones-in-the-noodles issue the overall experience was positive and there was a lot of food for the price.“
“The purpose of this review is not to hate or harm this restaurant in any way, shape, or form. That being said, I hope you take this review as an informative review.Atmosphere: Tiny restaurant. Seems like they have changed indoor dining experience compared to some years ago. The entrance was a bit disorganized. I'm not sure if this was just a season thing where they only offer indoor dining when it's summer. Other than that, it had a neutral atmosphere.Service: They were welcoming and attentive. They had my order ready by the time they said it was going to be ready.Food: I ordered the Catfish bowl. The food was well portioned, and the flavors from each ingredient complemented each other. I also ordered the Lychee smoothie. Although it was not the right weather to drink it, it still tasted really good. I believe it will taste twice as good in summer.Price: Honestly, their prices are fair. The quality and flavors of the food compensate their prices.“
“The seats in a row against the wall were full, but people who picked up the place were able to get up and go right after the meal and take a seat while they ordered their food and left. The soup soup was so delicious on a rainy day. I ordered both cooked and raw meat, but the raw meat was thin, so it cooked right away when I dipped it into the soup. Raw meat feels softer.“
“On the journey to find the best banh mi in the city, I arrived here per someone's recommendation. BANH MI #1 A solid banh mi, although definitely not my favorite. I think they could have been filled in more, and the bread wasn't super fluffy/warm/clearly fresh and it left a bit more to be desired to be honest. I hear this place is also good for some of their other Vietnamese food items that you can't really find elsewhere, and so I want to return for that. I think this place is a bit of an institution and should continue to serve some authentic bites to the public. If and when I return I will try some of the things that are hard to find elsewhere. Also if you're new to Vietnamese food don't miss the vietnamese coffee. It's an experience.“
“So, we were experiencing a heavy starvation period until we pulled out our phone and found JOJU LOL. The self checkout is extremely simple and enjoyable because there were photos that accompanied the food item.The food in which we nourished ourselves was nothing short of very good. The bahn mi sandwiches were filling and tasty+ they played a song from the box office hit barbie, furthermore, a song from Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, TAYLOR SWIFT LOL.thank you for existing. you saved us from hungerpeace be with you“
“Henry's is a hidden gem among the bustling South Street Seaport area full of chain restaurants and overpriced mediocre dining spots. I highly recommend the classic banh mi! The bread is my favorite part of a banh mi and the rolls here are always fresh, soft on the inside, a little crispy on the outside.As far as the bubble tea goes, you really can't go wrong, but my favorites are the passionfruit green tea and brown sugar milk tea.You can't beat the prices here, especially for the area!“
“I love their sandwiches, fried rices, and laksa! I always get the pork belly sandwich or the chicken thigh sandwich with a fried rice. The bread is fresh and crispy on the outside. The seasoning is always spot on! Everything is so tasty here. Too bad the dine in option is still not available.Vegetarian options: Curry fried rice with vegetables.“
“I had rice noodles and garlic shrimp for a late lunch.The rice noodles weren't bad, but the meat served as a topping was a bit thick and tough. The noodles also felt a bit undercooked. However, the soup itself was clean and delicious. Service was good.“
“Delicious !!! Holidaying in Chelsea and scrolled through a few restaurants nearby and came across Bòcàphê - food was absolutely amazing!!! Had the ginger chicken bun bowl and the taro fries (these are an absolute must!!!)Wish I lived in New York so I could visit here again!!!“
“Good news to fellow eaters @ the Thai Son in Queens. We went to eat at Thai Son here in the city today and we asked about the Queens location. The Thai Son location in Queens is going to reopen in the near future (they’re doing reconstruction). I couldn’t post under the Thai Son in Queens as the reviews are disabled for now. Good news for all of us.“
“TLDR: Above and beyond service from Johnny! Thank you!!!Came here on a rainy day with my friend. Later found out she never had pho, so I wanted to get her a giftcard for her birthday as she had come back here! I reached out via instagram and Two Wheels went above and beyond to make a homemade gift card for my friend. Shout out to Johnny for their help in making this happen. I really appreciate helping me make this happen!“
“You can name all the viet food places in Midtown East, meaning there aren't that many. This is an in and out spot, that gets a good chunk of business during lunch hours, and a small dinner rush (by personal experience). The menu is rather extensive for a small establishment. They serve a solid banh mih, and an awesome pork dumpling soup! Plays the best country music, as well!“
“Best pho in the area! I had the grilled chicken pho and it was great. Finally a healthy food option at the Essex Market. There’s lots of seating and other spots to get coffee, something afterwards. Perfect for pre or post movie food.Dietary restrictions: Big wide menu for all needsWheelchair accessibility: Essex Market has an elevator“
“Dined in for lunch, nice vegetarian options and I liked my tofu banh mi and my friend's order of drunken noodles. The fried tofu puffs (appetizer) were crispy & hot. The hostess was super friendly as well. Will definitely come back if I'm in the “
“PLEASANTLY SURPRISED i think the pho is better than that of banh nearby the servers aren't the most attentive (they kind of leave you alone) but it's nice if that's what you're looking for, peace to eat!! the wooden chairs and plants are very earthy and i liked the space which was open and large and not very crowded“
“Our hotel concierge recommended this spot to us for a nice, easy casual night out. The food was delicious and flavorful - much more so than your typical Thai. The staff was pleasant and welcoming and the venue is pleasant. Definitely worth a visit.Vegetarian options: They can alter several dishes to be vegetarian. The tofu was great and flavorful.“
