[[HIGHLIGHT]]Di and Di is a large spot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During my last visit, I sat in the front dining area, so I didn't get a chance to see how far the restaurant extends towards the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms are conveniently located in the middle of the space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were all efficient and constantly on the move. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had reservations for 2pm, and the restaurant was already packed when we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We only had to wait a few minutes while our table was being cleared. The staff apologized. For drinks, we kept it non-alcoholic and ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and a lychee fizz. To eat, we shared the papaya salad, rice cake omelette, grilled pork bun bowl, and the wok seared beef pho. Everything we tried was so flavorful and well prepared. One thing to note is that if you're planning to visit on a weekend their banh mi is only available from Friday to Sunday until 6pm. However, we go there on Sunday and ordered around 2:30ish and it was already sold out. So I suggest dining in earlier. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The food was good, the service attentive, and the restaurant was always packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered 3 bowls of noodles and a sandwich. While the noodles came quick, the sandwich took about 20 minutes AFTER the noodles came. The sandwich was for my 4 year old since she's not the biggest fan of noodles. She was hungry and quite upset for the whole duration. The staff did come and informed us multiple times it was coming. But it took a total of 20 minutes for it finally come. The manager said it was a communication issue between the servers and the kitchen staff since we did request for the toppings to be on the side. They did apologize multiple times and did not charge us for that sandwich that took forever to come. If it weren't for that incident, definitely a solid 4 stars. Would I come back? I would, the food was good and hopefully they'll get everything correct next time. read more

Food: Delicious food! We tried the beef pho, fish lettuce wrap platter, pork skewer platter, and the spring rolls. All four dishes were delicious, and I would highly recommend the spring rolls and beef pho. The beef pho broth had deep flavor, and the noodles had a great, chewy texture and were different from the typical pho noodles in Vietnamese restaurants. The pho is also served with their homemade sriracha and hoisin sauce. The beef slices in the pho were a bit dry and overcooked, but I would still recommend you try the pho here; it was delicious. The spring rolls were big and packed with filling. We really enjoyed them! The fish lettuce wrap platter and pork skewer platter were exactly the same with the exception of the protein. The platters come with rice paper wrappers that you dip into water for 30 seconds, lettuce, mint, basil, cilantro, pickled radish and carrot, and cucumbers. The platters were good but also seems like something you can easily make yourself at home. The fish was a bit dry and overcooked, but the pork skewers were well made. Although I really enjoyed the food here, it wasn't special enough for me to want to return to dine here. Service: Service was excellent, and staff were friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 5pm, we were the first party of 2 to arrive, and soon after, three other parties came after us. I'm not sure why the hostess chose to seat all four parties in one small corner of the restaurant while the rest of the restaurant was completely empty. Tables were placed very closely together, and seating was a bit tight. It seemed odd to seat everyone in one corner even when the restaurant was clearly not filling up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance and decor is lovely here. Seating is very comfortable, and the place is beautiful. It's well-lit and has a nice outdoor garden feel with plenty of sunlight. The restaurant is pretty big with tables for both small and large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I would recommend this restaurant! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We came on a weekday and there were plenty of seats for early dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick too. First came our oysters and then spring rolls. We also ordered two brisket pho and one grilled sausage skewer banh hoi which they shared would be too much to fit in the table all at once so we opted for the pho first. My favorite were the spring rolls - very crispy and loved the filling inside. The pho and banh hoi weren't my favorite. The broth was ok - it felt like it lacked depth in flavor and the brisket just didn't feel like it matches this bowl of pho. The grilled sausage for the banh hoi was just not good. It tasted fishy for some reason. read more

I used to like this place years ago but I moved and stopped going as frequently. Recently I was in the area and ordered the vegan vermicelli noodle bowl for takeout... I realized there was SHRIMP inside. Multiple pieces after I'd already eaten some of the food. I've been plant based for 21 years and also have a seafood allergy.. I spit it out immediately. I had a dr appt that day so there was no way I could have time to go all the way back and bring the food with me to show them. So I contacted the restaurant and asked for a refund. I never heard back.. what a waste of time and money. If you are on a strict vegan/vegetarian diet do not bother coming here because they clearly do not care about cross contamination. read more

Got recommended Di An Di for a long time and wanted to give it a try in Greenpoint! I went early as they were opening up on a weekday so I just walked in without a reservation. They weren't too busy then so I got seated pretty much immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As I entered Di An Di, I know that they pay attention to their decors a lot. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the pho which I feel like it's a 3/5. The noodles were good, bouncy and chewy. Other than that, I feel like the price is too high to justify the meat and the broth. The broth and meat feels like I could get this elsewhere for $15 max but the price doubled here. I'm sure there are other dishes that are good, but this review is only for the pho. read more

Found this neighborhood gem through the Chase Sapphire dining program. Came on a weekend evening and waited ~10 minutes for our table to be ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes inside of the restaurant are cozy and full of greenery / potted plants that add a lot of character to the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We split the rice cake omlette, papaya salad, and chicken pho. Everything was delicious- we were especially blown away by the omlette. The crunchy rice cakes played so well with the soft omlette. Also tried their lychee spritz drink, which was refreshing. All in all it came out to $90 with tax and tip- a little pricey but worth it for a nice date! read more

Drinks are also yummy, I got the seasonal spritz to pair with my pho and it was awesome. Service is really good too, I recommend coming on a weekday since you'll definitely get a spot if you walk in. read more

Came here randomly and it was overall a good time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a bit dim but not dark. It's a pretty cute date spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered their roasted chicken large plate that came with a roasted chicken thigh, crispy rice, shallot aioli, herb salad mix, house pickles. The food overall had the foundations to be really great, even though it lacked some seasoning and flavor. It's sad because a hint of spice, salt or even fish sauce would've elevated the dish. I also ordered their rabbit hole cocktail which was really tasty. It had carrots, lemon, ginger, triple sec, mezcal, and tequila. For a drink with two spirits...It was not overpowering. It was the perfect balance between flavors. The service was attentive, I did not feel rushed and the waitress was very helpful and honest about her favorites. I would go here at least one more time to try another entree. read more

Di An Di - Pho Ga / Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wanted to love Di An Di, but I felt like the dishes here were either too much or not enough. I've came here on separate occasions -- first time was to try their northern style pho and second time was to try their other dishes. Their pho thin Ha Noi the first time around was a little too peppery for my liking and not as clean tasting as the traditional northern pho. I usually prefer northern pho, but this just was just too much for me. The wok-seared brisket did add a nice smoky component to the dish though. Came around this other time to try their other dishes: BANH BOT CHIEN: A little pricey for what it is ($18). I felt like the ones I make at home are better. The rice cakes were a little too soggy for my liking; I prefer it with a crispy exterior and soft interior. Egg is egg and the nuoc cham could've been sweeter. Entire dish only came with 4 rice cakes, so ideal for groups of less than 4. OYSTERS: My party had mixed feelings about this, but I personally enjoyed it. The oysters were fresh and nicely presented -- dressed with a savory scallion-oil and garnished with peanuts which gave it a nice crunch. The scallion oil did make the raw oysters a little warm, which threw my friends off a little bit. Also a little pricier than oysters at other spots -- 4$ per oyster or 46$ for a dozen. PHO GA: Since the pho thin Hanoi was a little too much for me last time, I expected the pho ga to be somewhat similar. The broth was definitely lighter and cleaner compared to its richer beef cousin, but i found it a little too bland. You could add an egg yolk for richness (at an additional cost), which I probably should've done. I had to dump a lot of the ginger-scallion sauce and herbs provided to enhance the flavor a bit more. The chicken pieces, although not a lot, were very tender and moist. COM TAM SUON NUONG: The pork was tender and well-seasoned. I usually don't care for broken rice, but this was probably the best dish of the night. The suon nuong was savory, sweet and smoky from the grill. They provided enough accoutrements like do chua, herbs and a sunny side egg. Would recommend this! DRINKS: Pho fashioned was heavily spiced, but I got used to it as I drank it more. Could definitely taste the star anise. The espresso martinis were the crowd pleaser tho. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Di An Di is definitely more of an elevated Vietnamese spot in a trendier, more polished setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Certainly not the cheapest for casual Vietnamese food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't say I would come here often, but it's nice for the vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Trendy restaurants with vibrant and modern vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a great server that was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some wonderful suggestions. We got the oysters, mussels, mustard green wraps for starters. The innovation on these dishes brings flares and flavor to original dishes. We also got the broken rice dish with pork chops and the crispy fry fish with rice paper. I love these 2 traditional dishes and Di An Di definitely kept the traditional flavors. Everything we had was amazing. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and was surprised by how busy it was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place felt more like an American-Vietnamese fusion spot than a traditional Vietnamese restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The beef pho was refreshing and light, though a bit too peppery and scallion-heavy for my taste. The noodles also weren't the typical pho noodles I expected. The rice cake omelette was quite good--the rice cake had a super chewy texture and the sauce complemented it really well. The sizzling turmeric fish platter was delicious, flavorful, and nicely presented. It came paired with cold noodles and rice cracker, which added a nice contrast of textures. Overall, a good meal with some interesting fusion-style dishes read more

Came here for dinner with my friend (we had a reservation) and got seated quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is modern but warm. The dim lighting made it feel intimate, perfect for a date night, and also great for groups of family and friends sharing meals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered Bánh Bột Chiên (rice cake omelette), Gỏi Đu Đủ (papaya salad), Phở Thìn Hà Nội (Hanoi-style pho), Cơm Cháy Gà Nướng (roast chicken with rice), and the warm coconut tapioca pudding dessert. The rice cake omelette was chewy and flavorful, and the papaya salad was super fresh and crunchy. The pho was fragrant and comforting. The roast chicken with rice had crispy skin and juicy meat, but wasn't too unique otherwise. We were sooo full, but we still had the dessert, which was sweet and creamy with chewy tapioca. I would highly recommend the Bánh Bột Chiên (rice cake omelette)! Overall, Di An Di is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in Greenpoint with great atmosphere and solid value. Would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. We got the omelette to split (really good but tiny, tiny portions for a large group. I'd say 1 should be shared between 2-3 max) The rice crisp salad was also good! I'm usually more of a beef pho person but the chicken was a bit better. The skewers were fun to make my own rolls with. Cocktails are strong! Expect to spend about $50-60 per person. read more

Di An Di - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ambiance is great for a date, casual dinner, or solo dining experience. I heard some songs from 2010s that made me nostalgic. Food is tasty and flavorful. Service is friendly. I've been a few times before to dine in with others but today, I came solo. There was a perfect cozy window seat that I snagged before the rush of dinner on a Saturday. Here for a quick meal, I ordered the crispy spring rolls with pork and shrimp, and the vegetarian omelette with tofu. Both were delicious. Hot tip: Happy hour is from M-F 5-7pm on drinks. For Saturday, it ended at 5pm. read more

Di An Di was a cute find in a beautiful neighborhood that I will definitely venture out to more often from now! Yummy Vietnamese food in nyc is difficult to come across and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior design of the restaurant felt so homey and green, it was very healing to sit in. My favorite thing in the menu was the omelette and the papaya salad. I think if I were to come back I would reorder those two dishes but I would want to try other items on the menu for the main course. read more

Came here for dinner - ordered pho, fish dish, and spring roll (3 pieces). Dishes were flavorful, but it's nothing too different from any average Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. With that being said, the dishes were overpriced for the smaller portions. The server seemed inattentive with our needs and it was hard to find the server when needed. I wasn't too impressed with the meal. read more

Was around the area and was craving pho. So decided to give this spot a try. For a $25 bowl of pho, I expected much much more. Walking in, the restaurant seemed really promising but ended up being disappointed. The flavor was pretty basic for a pho. They used fatty beef which was interesting. And the noodles used were not your typical pho noodles. Wasn't bad, but if you're expecting something more authentic, this spot won't satisfy you. Overall this spot had an interesting take on pho that wasn't my kind of taste. I can't speak for their other dishes but can't say I'll be coming back soon for their pho. read more

Pricey for pretty basic food and drinks. Servers were nice but a bit curt for a restaurant that was mostly empty on an early afternoon. The $8 Vietnamese Iced Coffee wasn't special so I would look elsewhere for a cheaper one. The pho was a bit scallion-heavy and light on noodles, but the broth was pretty good. At 2x the price of most other pho restaurants, you're better off finding a spot in Woodside. read more

After passing by this spot once, I had to come back to the area to try it. Always in the search of a solid Vietnamese restaurant in NYC, I believe that Di An Di has something really special to offer. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and there's lots of greenery + an open kitchen so it makes the place feel very inviting and open. Staff here is really kind. We ordered the rice cake omelette, banh hoi platter with crispy pork belly, and sizzling turmeric fish. Everything was phenomenal. The rice cake omelette was almost exactly how my mom makes it and comes with super chewy rice cake, lots of veggie toppings, and a great sauce. The banh hoi platter came with crispy pork belly and lots of veggies and garishes to enjoy with your banh hoi as you roll it in rice paper. And, the sizzling turmeric fish is served with rice noodles, peanuts, fish sauce, and veggies for you to eat with. One small detail that I really loved was how good their fish sauce was here as many Vietnamese spots in NYC tend to have it a bit less flavorful. Definitely would come back here to try other menu items! read more

Di An Di - French Dip Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Di An Di really impresses me everytime I go. I started going a few years back and I was obsessed with their happy hour. I was sad to see that happy hour go because they had some fun snacks and drinks on it. Even though the happy hour is gone the food is still worth paying full price. The management has changed overtime and they still uphold the same caliber in running the business. I really enjoy seeing more wines on the menu and I am a sucker for some of the specials the chef runs. I never pay a visit without ordering the cha gio. It's just so good. the pho and the banh mis are magical. They recently have this lunch special where you can get a half sandwich and pho for a reasonable price. I always find myself at the bar because to me it is most comfortable but for those that enjoy table service, they have a nice open kitchen concept that can probably provide some entertainment as you dine. read more

Ordered pho to go and it was very American. I was hoping it would be like the traditional Pho where the broth is boiled for hours but the broth was not tasty at all. The noodles were also very different from the noodles i've had from other Vietnamese restaurants. If you enjoy American fusion Vietnamese food you'll love this. However, if you want traditional Vietnamese food you won't have a good time. Unfortunate because the atmosphere is really nice inside. read more

I haven't loved any of the Vietnamese food I've had in NYC, but this place I was pleasantly surprised. I got the pho chay ha noi/vegan pho ha noi and this is definitely the best pho I've had in NYC. My Vietnamese friend told me this was Northern Vietnamese style pho, but since this was my first time seeing and trying Northern style pho, I don't really know how it compares to others. But as far as pho goes, I thought this was great and I finished the entire bowl. My first impression though, I was hit by how strongly it needed lime--but that's a super easy fix by asking the server for some. The lime made the broth so much brighter and gave it more dimension, and I added a little hoisin and chili paste (both I assume is made in-house) and made the broth perfect for me. The noodle they used wasn't the normal rice noodle, but instead a curlier type of noodle. The mushrooms in the pho were also great and gave it some texture and, I think due to the way it was seared, it also had a slight meaty flavor to it similar to thit nuong. 4.75/5 stars. I also tried their banh bot chien/rice cake omelette and this one wasn't as impressive as the pho. I loved the pickle flavor from the veggies and how the egg was soft and not overcooked, but it was still pretty eggy and I wished there was less egg and more rice cake. I wish they had done more of an even layer of rice cake over the egg rather than just putting a few meager pieces on top. 3/5 stars. Overall, I'd come back again and I'd like to try some of their other things. Will for sure get the pho again, but not often since the price is pretty steep. read more

Food 8/10 The appetizer salad and spring rolls were flavorful and didn't feel too oily or salty. The crunch on both of them really made me happy. Also it was 4pm so maybe I was just super hungry.

Di An Di - Ambiance - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been coming to Di and Di for the last few years on and off, but I have to say that over this whole period of time the food has remained consistently really good-which is not easy to maintain. I enjoy both the vegetarian and the signature phos, and always enjoy their other dishes. I actually especially like the springs rolls, rice cake omelet and their large plate - Grilled Pork Sausage Skewer with wraps. It's great for sharing and you can make your own wraps with all the yummy ingredients they provide you. The spring rolls are always nice and crispy, and anytime I have brought friends to this spot there are no complaints.

Extremely poor service and communication by the hostess. We arrived at 5:20 PM, shortly after the restaurant opened and were told the wait would be about 1.5 hours. When we returned almost 2 hours later, after being shown as next on the waitlist, the hostess told us we would need to wait an additional 3 hours due to a large group in the back, with no guarantee of when a table would open. This is completely unacceptable and didnt make sense since the restaurant closes in 3 hrs and effectively meant we would not be seated. As we were leaving, we heard the hostess tell another group of the same size that they would be seated shortly. If we were skipped by mistake, just say so. Don't make up excuses and push customers aside. We are returning customers, but this level of disorganization and lack of transparency completely ruined our Sunday night, and we won't be coming back. read more
