    Sally Z.

    Service: 3.9/5 Food: 4/5 Price: $ (under $20) A rare find + a good change of pace from all the pizza/Italian options in the West Village. Classic hole-in-the-wall/mom-and-pop shop. Looks like an extensive menu, but it's really just the core items listed repeatedly with all the protein variations. Definitely immigrant-family-run- male server was friendly, while female server was purely focused on the job. Service is okay- not super attentive nor did they take note of our dietary restrictions. Also forgot our customizations (no cilantro, add an egg), so double check your bill. They initially tried to charge us for the added egg we never got (bc it was written on the ticket). They were nice about correcting the bill, though, + have one of the best cash preferred deals I've seen in any restaurant (not just the usual tax off). What I Ordered: Grilled Chicken Pho - Grilled Chicken: tender, comes on the side, well seasoned - Pho: large, not too oily or salty, strange inclusion of broccoli Cubed Flank Steak Over Rice - Steak: fragrant + tender - Rice: unfortunately, not broken rice Special Banh Mi: visually large, but mostly mediocre bread, crunchy veggies, + decent amount of meat (keep in mind I reheated it up at work)

    Shaken beef medium rare cooked, delicious!

    I've been here only once, but I was impressed with the dishes I ordered. The shaken beef had a lot of flavor in their marinade that goes very well with the rice and veggies. Tamarind soup was fresh, light and flavorful. Service was fast and food was fresh. I will be coming back.

    Bun pork sausage
    Mike S.

    I ordered the Bun with pork sausage , tofu spring rolls and some beef broth and lemon tea. It was all middle od the rode decent but not outstanding. Small portions and they forgot my silver ware. Broth has leaked out in the bag and was less then half full. And overly expensive for the small portions.

    Our go to pho place in the city. There are also a couple of other pho locations in the area but we keep coming back to this one. Food is great and authentic. Service is great and super quick too. Really nice for a quick comforting meal. Ambiance is fast casual but has a nice homey feel.

    Pork chop pho and spring rolls

    The broth in the pho is very oily and they put broccoli in it. They never did that before. It taste weird. Noodles are mushy and overall a bad bowl of pho. What happened to this place? They used to good. I spend about $30 tonight and the food was just simply not good. The broth is different from pre-pandemic. Just look at the the broth from before. This is sad how much this restaurant changed.

    Pho Tai and Banh Mi
    Quinn G.

    This is my most-visited NY restaurant by a wide margin. I haven't reviewed it for fear of bringing attention to it. I can almost always get a table without a reservation. I believe this is due to the popularity of a serviceable, but hip Vietnamese option nearby. This is the best Banh Mi I have had. I keep trying others, but the bread here is unmatched. I'm told they get it fresh from a bakery in Brooklyn. The spiced pork sausage they use is also perfect. The pho can b from exceptional to greatest of all time. I love this place with all my heart. Almost forgot the rolls! The cha gio are THE BEST. Not just saying that. They are the best in existence (US).

    Food: I went to Saigon on a Saturday night with my boyfriend. I ordered a p3 and he ordered a Vietnamese hot and sour young coconut soup with Shrimp. My pho dish was delicious with plenty of noodles. My boyfriend's bowl was huge and had so many vegetables. The service was great. They made sure we were okay a couple of times. Ambiance: There was a couple of people eating at the restaurant at the same time as us; it wasn't loud making it a pleasant dinner experience.

    Best pho I've ever had! Everything was amazing from the soup to the service, in my opinion. 10/10

    Three years later and honestly... it's gotten EVEN BETTER. The bahn mi SING, and the bread is unreal. The staff are always super friendly and the atmosphere just feels homey. I'd go as far to say this is one of my favorite places to go eat in the whole city. If Hello Saigon has no supporters, then I have passed away.

    Great place with good food and good price. These three dishes can around just under $60 with tip and tax. It's a great place to replenish your energy after the New York marathon. Servers are very nice people!

    Beef pho option P3 on the menu

    The service was amazing and very nice people!! I've been there twice so far. Definitely will be going again!! The pho is so delicious and perfect for a cold day

    Ambiance (4/5): The restaurant is bare bones but there is a cool graffiti mural art near the entrance. The place is open and not loud! We stumbled on 1pm Sunday and there was plenty of seating. Be aware that there are steep stairs to access the bathroom. Service (5/5): Since the place is smaller, there was plenty of staff around to assist with serving all the tables. Food came out fairly quickly! Food: Vietnamese Coffee (4/5): There is a strong espresso taste in this and the milk was Hue-style spicy beef and pork noodle (#9 Bun bo Hue) (4/5) - I ordered the which is more fish-flavor forward due to the shrimp paste. There was a variety of different cuts of meat in the large bowl and a great portion of it too! My sister enjoyed her #2 Beef Brisket Pho and tasted like your classic pho and noodles. I liked hers slightly more!

    Do they offer veggie or chicken broth as an alternative to the beef broth?

    Sure do and the veggie broth is delicious. I had to keep asking every time if it wasn't chicken. Very flavorful!

The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

    OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't…read morewalk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

    I would rate this a 4.5 instead of a 4 but Yelp doesn't do half ratings lol…read more Yesterday, I was around the neighborhood and noticed Wagamama while wanting lunch. I remembered i liked my experience going to one in London in 2024 and decided to go. I love how attentive the wait staff are, a little too attentive. A waitress, she had long hair and a nose ring, approached me when I was just glancing her way during eating. I didn't need anything, but I appreciate the favor. That same waitress gave me my receipt too early like she wanted me to leave ASAP. This was right before I asked to look at the desserts after I finished my meal. A "Would you like some dessert?" would have be appreciated. Cedrick, my principal waiter, was phenomenal. He decided to take care of me after no one was at the hosting desk for 5 minutes after I arrived. I had the chicken potsticker ramen and it was delicious! The potsticker was seasoned very well: my favorite part. To drink, I had the Asian Arnold Palmer and it was a cute drink! Only downside is the sweetness was not even distributed through the drink, even after I mixed the drink. Even though I had an issue with the service, I saw how caring they were (he looked like a manager now) to a family that came after me with organizing their seats and getting a baby chair. I just wished they gave me the same respect instead of rushing me out the door.

We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.
