Awesome food! Support small businesses!
pretty yum! i was a teeny tiny bit scared because there seems to be a lot of variance in the reviews, so i dunno!! my guy used to eat here as a kid and he had a lot of good things to say, and i was also a little scared of it not living up to his memory of it but it was pretty good! i think it's actually better than the other pho bang that i went to in Manhattan, but i don't remember it too well, anyway, this guy wanted a pork chop so there that was, and he said that it was good...read full review
Mediocre food. Dirty space. Cash only.

Phở Bằng is a long-standing restaurant that offers delicious Pho noodle soup and spring rolls at a great price. The rich broth and perfectly prepared meat are highlights, and the pho is served quickly, often within minutes. The restaurant has a no-frills, serious vibe that appeals to pho lovers who enjoy authentic flavors. It feels like the pho cafes of the East Coast, with a slightly gritty, real atmosphere where everyone is a little gruff and the place feels a bit grimy—just as it should be for genuine Vietnamese cuisine.
Service is fast and the prices are fair, making it an affordable spot for fresh and tasty food. Before the meal, customers are served free hot tea, which adds a nice touch. The restaurant is cash only, and the staff expect quick orders, so being decisive helps. Despite the straightforward setting, the friendly but stern staff add charm to the place. Many regulars come here weekly, enjoying the old-school East Coast Vietnamese restaurant vibe, hearty portions, and authentic flavors.
Parking can be tricky due to recent re-painting of the lot, so street parking on Broadway or nearby streets is recommended. Overall, Phở Bằng remains a favorite spot for those seeking the best pho on the East Coast, with consistent quality and a genuine atmosphere.
