    Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 6 First, I'll start by saying that I'm happy to see a long time restaurant like Thai Son come back after being missing in action for a while. They are part of the neighborhood and I'm sure locals are happy they can dine here again. Unfortunately, there is probably a good reason why I have chosen to eat at Pho Bang over the years rather than Thai Son. It's a small gap, but a noticeable one. Spring Rolls (7/10) - Very crispy but too small and needs more filling. Beef Pho (7/10) - Broth was light with a tinge of sweetness. Noodles and beef were fine. Grilled Pork (5/10) - Very dry and tough. Not enough flavor as well. Grilled Chicken (7/10) - Pretty decent, but still not as flavorful as others. Bo Luc Luc (6/10) - Beef was somewhat tough. Flavor needs more garlic. Banh Mi (5/10) - Boring sandwich with lack of filling. It's not a bad restaurant and I would eat certain things here. However, it wouldn't be my first choice with Pho Bang so close by. Regardless, I do wish them good luck and stay in the area for another few decades.

    Very good Vietnamese food in the area! We shared the veggie fried spring rolls and beef cubes as appetizers. The spring rolls were solid, but the ground tofu inside had an interesting texture. Beef cubes were super tender and delicious, especially with the signature sauce. I got the #6 pho - with beef. It was super flavorful and broth was really good. Would come back!

    Hmmm. Been coming here since it was Thai Son. They were closed for a while for "renovation" so it was exciting for me to find out that they had reopened. The pho is still solid. But felt like the soup wasn't hot enough. Got the meat ball special this time, served with rice paper. DELICIOUS. I would rank this place in the upper echelon of Viet food in NYC. Almost comparable to the weat coast

    This restaurant never disappoints. We order the small pho, an order of summer rolls and rice crepes with ground pork. The food came all out at the same time, the pho is problem kne of the best in the area. You can tell they take time to make the broth, very well seasoned, clear broth. The slices of beef are thin but just perfect for the hot broth to slightly cook the beef. The summer rola come with a peanut sauce that is nust perfect with a savory flavor and sufficient consistency to dip the rolls and the sauce cljngs on to the rice wrapper. The servers are very quick to take the order, expedite and serve fast. The rice crepes stuffed with ground pork were very good, light but savory dish if you are not very hungry. Overall a great experience. Parking was extremely difficult, i had to leave my car over at woodside avenue about 3 blicks away because of the construction they are doing nearby the restaurant.

    Apparently this place recently reopened under a new name after a fire burned down the old spot. I came here for dinner and was seated within five minutes, which was impressively quick. Service throughout was attentive and fast. I started with the fried spring rolls. They were decent, though the filling wasn't as meaty or flavorful as I prefer. For my main dish, I ordered the pork chop with rice. The rice was well cooked with a nice texture, but the pork chop came out a bit too charred for me. The beef noodle soup, on the other hand, was pretty flavorful. The prices are fair, and the portions are generous. I'd come back to try their bánh mì, phở, and other Vietnamese staples.

    Saw it was opened again but under a new name. Been missing my pho and rice dishes. We came here for dinner and we were happy again. Got the beef cube over fried rice and #1 across the table. The food is still great. Pho was good as I remembered and the beef cubes over fried rice was tasty and saucy the way I like it. The spring rolls were great too. The staff seems new but one of the old waiters recognized me and we talked it up. The new staff are very nice and the food came out quick. The changes we noticed were the new painted walls. The tables were the same and the set up was the same. Thank god it's opened again. Now I don't have to go all the way to pho bang now. Not saying it's bad but this place is closer to my house.

    Huong Xuan used to be Thai Son, but they recently reopened under a new name after a short absence. I am happy to see them back in business serving up the same delicious dishes. Their pho is great overall (the beef options are the way to go, as I found the pho ga to be somewhat bland). They also have really tasty spring rolls. My only minor critique is that I did bite down on a small piece of bone in one of my spring rolls last time, and some of their grilled meats have some pieces of bone and cartilage, but that doesn't bother me since I know to look out for them (unlike when they're in a spring roll). The staff members are all so kind and attentive, and the restaurant has a very cozy and comfortable vibe. I definitely recommend it!

    Had dined at Thai Son before when we went to Elmhurst and wanted authentic Vietnamese. This place still looks exactly the same, only the name has changed. The floor is still slippery The food is still quite good, and filling.

    Order of pho with grilled chicken

    A no frills Vietnamese spot serving delicious pho and other authentic dishes. We came for lunch and were greeted by friendly staff. The inside is cute and has plenty of seats. My wife had the pho with grilled chicken and I had the Thịt Kho Tàu with rice. We also shared an order of crispy spring rolls. Everything was yummy and hit the spot.

    Was in Jackson heights and had to swing into this spot, I guess they changed the name from Thái Son but the interior felt exactly the same and the food was as delicious as I remember having 10+ years ago. The service is quick, funny, and friendly. Just an absolute staple, wish the luck with the rebrand.

    Ate here today after work as a paraprofessional at P.S. 12 Q for dinner feeling quite hungry and wondering what to eat. I had dined in by myself to order and eat which I got the ca kho to (caramelized fish) and it was absolutely delicious. I remember this place used to be Thai Son and it recently got renamed. Anyways, the service there was also attentive and it took awhile to be served on my table and thanks for the sever named Loby to get me started of what to choose and eat and tells me briefly it recently reopened around last week. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    This place used to be called Thai Son. They finally opened up after there was a fire. Nothing seemed to have changed from the bathrooms to the actual dining in section. I guess the only thing that changed was the name as even the staff remained the same. Even the food was how I remembered it to all be. However, the prices changed to a couple of dollars more now.

    Thai Son is back! just that it is under a new name that I can not pronounce: Huong Xuan. Nothing changed, decor is still the same except maybe the walls were repainted. Pho is still just as good. The broth was very clean. I love their grilled porkchops. Service was quick and waiters were all so nice. Came on Saturday at 6:30pm and did not have to wait for a table for 4 but I noticed it started getting packed by 7pm.

    Pho Best III is a Vietnamese restaurant that has built a following on generous portions and a menu…read morethat covers more ground than just pho. I walked in on a casual weeknight, and the space felt straightforward, the kind of neighborhood spot that focuses on the food rather than the decor. I started with the spring rolls, which are a consistent standout and worth ordering. They came out fresh and well packed, a solid opener. I also ordered the Vietnamese iced drip coffee, which was done well, not overly sweet, and paired nicely with the meal. Portions across the board run large, noticeably so. I realized quickly that sharing a few dishes between two people would have been a reasonable approach, but I ended up with more than I could finish on my own. The pho itself was alright, though I noticed it was not as warm as I would have liked, and the broth came across a little flavorless. A bowl that comes out hot makes a real difference in the experience, so if yours arrives lukewarm, flagging it early rather than eating through it is worth doing. The noodles and meat portions were generous, but the temperature and broth depth held the dish back from being great.

The pho came with sides of bean sprouts, fresh basil and lime wedge. I enjoyed my pho but wouldn't order the spider (fried soft shell crab) roll again. Not enough flavor for the roll even with the peanut sauce. Service was attentive (several refills of tea) and friendly. The place felt clean and not too noisy -- this was on a rainy Satuday night. Not sure if it gets really crowded and noisy on weekends generally.

They do have a restroom for customers, but bare minimum seating and tables for people to dine in. Don't expect to get any table service, and it's first come, first seating.

Someone will bring the food to your table if you're eating there. They do have ac, so that's good if you're trying to escape the heat. My friend and I ate inside and got the summer rolls, which wasn't tightly wrapped, and it was so hard to eat. It came apart right away, which I've never seen happen before. I don't suggest getting it at all. It was too messy to eat, and the ingredients were mainly noodles. I got the taro tea as that doesn't have caffeine inside of it. For my main meal, I got the hot pot noodle soup with a medium spice level with been tendon and fatty beef. The bad part about it was that my stomach hurt after an hour or so. I didn't eat breakfast, so it was definitely a reaction from this meal.

I ordered Vietnamese comfort food. I have never travelled to Vietnam, but I certainly enjoy and have an appreciation of international ethnic cuisines. This main course originated in Northern Vietnam. I practiced walking meditation for bodily movement as exercise and attempt for mental clarity from Forest Hills to Rego Park. It was near empty when I entered at 11:30 am on a June Monday. My male server pulled a laminated QR code card from the condiment tray and plopped down instructing me to scan it for the menu. I immediately gave him a wracked with grief and anguish look as scanning such QR codes was during COVID-19 era which now post COVID-19 it is very callous and utter impersonal. My male server retreated to rebuke my anguish look for resilience "we have paper menus" which I gladly viewed after my eyes were intensely examined earlier. I do not want to doom scrolling during my meal including sitting at a restaurant or cafe. Albeit, I would certainly Yelp check-in and take photos during my time in the business. The paper menu is a takeout menu. Facilities are located in the basement with low head room as you walk these steps. It is relatively clean and bathroom sink is outside the toilet area shared by all genders. Patrons can visibly see boxes, shipping crates of their inventory are pipe high disorganized disarray by the bathroom sink foyer. Customer service is average. Flank and Brisket Phở, $17.25 Thinly sliced rare flank and cooked brisket. It is customary accompanied with a separate plate of room temperate Asian bean sprouts with a piece of fresh lime, a staple for Vietnamese Pho. It was served hot, but not piping hot as it should. The broth was very oily and flavorful with onions. The soup broth oil bubbles are very visible for the high level of cholesterol and fat content. The rice noodles were chopped rather than long continuous noodle strains. The meat seemingly appeared semi-cooked as there were noticeable visible pink areas. I preferred if my meat were well done for cooking level. What would "Lisa from Temecula" - Saturday Night Live think if her meat had pink areas for uncooked meat? The character is notorious for ordering her steaks "extra, extra well done." Pho 99 has handheld devices for wait staff to approach customers with credit/debit payment (aka cashless) at the table. There is a 4% discount when payments are cash. I paid in cash, attained the 4% discount and obtained my sales receipt. Dinning tables are modern large dark color, but no table linens. The long booth bench cushion against the wall material appears very worn and dirty. Their disclaimer is written on the utensil wrap "hand-crafted ietnamese noodle soup 100% beef broth, no MSG, fresh house-made noodles." VIETNAMESE is noticeably misspelt, missing the "V." The reverse side has a sketch of Vietnam country map. Inside this utensil wrap contains one gold emblem spoon, black matte lacquer chopsticks, and one napkin. This business is accessible via MTA NYC Transit M, R local trains at 67th Avenue subway station in Rego Park, Queens, NYC. I walked to reach this business for my visit.

This place feels like a hidden gem you almost want to keep secret... but it's just too good not to share. What makes Pho Metro stand out right away is how authentic it feels. You can tell this is truly a labor of love. One guy runs the show and somehow manages to do it all, from cooking to serving, and the care he puts into the food absolutely shows in every single bite. It has that comforting, homemade quality that makes you feel like you've stepped into a small family kitchen rather than just another restaurant. The food itself is outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, from the herbs to the broth. I highly recommend the thin noodles with the spicy lemongrass broth (you can request this if it's not listed). It's bursting with flavor, slightly tangy, perfectly spicy, and deeply savory in a way that warms you from the inside out. Every spoonful feels like a cozy blanket on a cold day. The summer rolls are another must-order. They're fresh, light, and packed with flavor, and the peanut sauce that comes with them is absolutely delicious. It's rich, savory, and addictive enough that you'll find yourself scraping the cup to get every last drop. Another detail I really appreciated is how everything you need is right at your fingertips. All the sauces are readily available at the table, so you can customize your bowl exactly how you like it without having to ask or wait. It makes the whole experience feel easy, comfortable, and welcoming. And don't skip the Thai iced tea. It's perfectly sweet, creamy, and refreshing, especially alongside the bold flavors of the pho. It's the kind of drink that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. Overall, this place delivers on flavor, authenticity, and heart. It's rare to find a spot where you can truly taste the effort and pride in every dish, but Pho Metro does exactly that. I will absolutely be returning again and again. If you're in the area, make the stop. You won't be disappointed.
