I discovered Pho Rainbow about 5 months ago when I started working in the area, and I've eaten there once or twice a week ever since. The owner / hostess is kind, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. The menu is large and can cater to anyone. The pricing is very reasonable and less expensive than similar restaurants. I highly recommend eating there.

This is a true gem 💎 of Staten Island eateries. Located directly adjacent to the New Dorp SIRT train station, Pho Rainbow is a flawless masterpiece. The service is the best on the Island. If you are a regular be prepared to be pampered every visit including free, delicious concoctions as well as staff hidden specialties. You feel like you’re among family every time. Rachel is an incredible human being.
The Pho offerings are plentiful and can easily be customized to your specifications. The broths are nothing short of therapeutic even on the unlikeliest of sweltering summer days. Any pork dish is as masterful as flavorful. The Banh Mi sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had. The appetizer selections are amazing and prepared to perfection every time without fail. The homemade beverages such as Rainbow Ice with Coconut Milk and Lemon Iced Tea are better than any bottled drinks on the market.
In closing not enough can possibly be said or expressed as to how incredible this restaurant is or how lucky we are to have this culinary delight in the heart of New Dorp. This is by far one of the best our Island has ever had to offer in my 47 years as a native. Flawless.

The broth is typically clear and deeply flavorful, without being greasy, noodles are chewy but soft, lots of toppings, savory. Excellent service.

This is a long-established restaurant with affordable prices and good taste. You can only know if it is delicious by trying it yourself. The pork chop rice is so so so good and the Vietnamese noodle soup is also delicious. I come here almost every week . Highly recommend！

I come from a Vietnamese background. My family is Vietnamese, from Vietnam, cooked Vietnamese food a lot. I've been to countless Vietnamese restaurants since early 2000s, through new ownerships , of various types (fusion, authentic, Chinese owned, Thai owned). I've been to Vietnam.
I've been going to this place since it opened. Now it is with new Chinese ownership or management. How do I know that ? They greet me in Mandarin.
I can say with conviction that the pho broth here absolutely sucked and is of poor quality with no flavor. The instant pho bowls from Costco has more authentic pho flavor than here. The pho bowls are $12-14(at the time of posting) and isn't badly priced at first. The Pho Dac Biet has minimal amount of tripe and has no tendons.
The fried spring rolls here are ok, not bad and meaty. Uses an old school rice wrap instead of the wonton wraps.
I wouldn't come here again. And it's sad to see this place go down in (food) quality. Service was fine and had no issue.
I finally found a great Vietnamese restaurant. I went to other Vietnamese restaurants, but Pho Rainbow is the best so far. Great experience!!!! Congratulations!!!
