    Smoked beef brisket pho
    Megan Y.

    Quick and casual vietnamese food spot with affordable prices. I ordered the beef brisket pho, which was unique because of the thick cut beef. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked, but I enjoyed that the noodles came with mushrooms and spinach.

    Can't believe it took me this long to try their bahn mi because it's amazing! I religiously order the vegan chicken pho which single handedly gets me through the winter but today I finally tried the mushroom bahn mi and I'm hooked. The mushroom pate is so good and I love that they default to vegan mayo. Also just saw they have a back patio in WB! Will definitely have to dine in next time I go.

    Came here and ordered the Briket Pho and the brisket was great, tender, and tasty; the broth was tasty with little to none evidence of MSG; and the ambiance of the place was great but kinda small to enjoy your food. I've also had the brisket bahn mi which was crispy, fresh made, and delish. I'd definitely come back again to this place when I am in the area : )

    Vermicelli Bowl Beer Combo
    Jane B.

    Had a quick dinner with a friend at Lucy's Vietnamese one evening. There are two large communal tables inside, along with some smaller spots by the window, but since it was a warm night, we opted to sit outside at one of the small tables. Lucy's is located on Berry Street, just one block over from the busier Bedford Ave, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and foot traffic. I ordered the Vermicelli Bowl with smoked brisket and added the beer combo (an extra $3). The brisket is noted as being cooked for 10 hours, and it was tender, flavorful, and easily cut with a fork. The rest of the bowl came with rice noodles, cabbage, and other veggies, good overall, but the brisket really made the meal. My friend had the Lemongrass Chicken Pho and also enjoyed it, noting it was rich in flavor and very filling. Our food came out very quickly, within just a few minutes, which was a nice surprise. Overall, great for a quick, satisfying meal or takeout spot. Would definitely come back.

    It was just ok. I was excited to try because of all the rave reviews about the brisket, but it just LOOKED sad and dry when I saw it. I came for dinner on a Saturday with some friends and it wasn't too busy. There's a few tables inside and a patio in the back, but the patio is closed for construction or smth. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. I got the brisket banh mi, the rest of the party got the brisket pho or the chicken banh mi. The brisket sandwich was good, in that it was a filling sandwich. The brisket itself however didn't have much flavor (it was peppery) and so dry. I had to douse my sandwich in hoisin sauce/sriracha to enjoy, and I almost never add extra hot sauces or anything to my food. I did however appreciate the amount of veggies (well really carrots) in it. As for the pho, I'm not a super picky pho person so I thought it was fine (aside from the dry and peppery brisket) but no one loved it. The price is fair and I guess it filled me up, but honestly unsatisfying. Service wasn't super memorable and they have a bathroom in the back.

    I came here as I was passing by the place, but it wasn't what I had expected it to be. I looked up the reviews, and ppl were all raving about it, so I had to try it out. It's very low-key, which I liked. The water is self-serve, and you order at the front. Once it is paid for, it will be made, and they bring it out to you unless you're taking it to go. There is some indoor seating and some outdoors by the makeshift garden, which I glanced at quickly, and it was really cute. Btw, they honor the check-in as I asked before ordering, and it was added, or shall I say that 10% was taken off. The food wasn't what I had expected. I didn't know that the broth was fully vegetarian, so the base is mushroom. I had a taste of it and was surprised. I decided to get the beef as it was cooked for 14 hours. The meat was good, but not so the broth. It totally turned me off. I understand the concept, but it isn't for me. I doubt I'll be returning unless they have another broth for the meat lovers.

    I sometimes pass by this store thinking if I should go in or not and thank god I finally went in. I ordered the brisket pho and boy was it delicious! The best brisket I've ever tasted in my life! Good thing I ordered the brisket and it was my first time! They gave a lot of brisket so that's a plus! Brisket was juicy and tender! You can taste the aroma of the meat inside your mouth! The noodles were good and fresh! I'm going to come back and try it again! So delicious!! A very clean and cozy place when you enter. You can either order food through the self kiosk or in person. Service is fast too! Food came out pretty quick! A must try!

    Lucy's has expanded to four locations as of this writing. I stopped into this outpost in North Williamsburg for a Labor Day lunch. My girlfriend and I shared a smoked brisket pho and a can of IPA (it's a deal to get both). The backyard patio was cool and breezy so we posted up and got to munching. I had high expectations and Lucy's pho managed to surpass them. The bowl was full of goodies: tender brisket, baby bok choy, white onions, green onions, mushrooms, noodles, and that uniquely peppery broth. The brisket was sumptuous and rich. Some of my favorite bites were the ones where I got white onion and green onion in the same mouthful. After the big pieces were all gone, I sipped the broth, using my spoon to collect all the little nibbles at the bottom. This pho demands to be devoured in its entirety. Service was friendly and fast, prices were reasonable for the quality of food. The can of beer, Ebbs No. 3 IPA, is an awesome selection for the combo deal. I recommend the backyard for your group of 4-6 cool friends. Now I want to check out the Grand Street location just to continue enjoying this great food.

    As an Angeleno that has consumed many bowls of pho in my life, I've rarely come across mediocre/bad pho. It really pains me to not leave a glowing review but sadly, the pho I had at Lucy's was definitely closer to mediocre than good. The restaurant is small and has a few (like 3) small tables and a two-top facing the window. You walk in and order at the counter, pay, sit down and the food is brought out to you. Not too much dining in going on but the place was busy with plenty of take-out orders. I had the beef brisket and my sister had the lemongrass chicken... they offer a combo which comes w/ your choice of a can of beer. The first few bites were great because I was starving but once my initial hunger pangs were satiated... I began to realize that the pho wasn't really that good. There was something missing. That distinct pho smell and taste. Then I realized that the pho was vegan and mushroom based! Great for vegans, I guess! My sister wasn't a fan of her pho either. I can appreciate Lucy's spin on their pho broth and it was clearly a popular spot for take-out. I just can't see myself returning for the pho here, though.

    I think it's good to note that this place is good for take outs. All the orders come out in a "take out ready" packaging. Water is also self service here. I got the smoked brisket banh mi and pho, but the meat in both were very thick and a bit hard to chew. I wish the pho had a deeper broth and had more toppings. The hoisin sauce and sriracha both came in tiny individual packets. Ambiance/interior seemed unfinished and they were just okay. There were only couple tables and I saw a lot of other customers sharing the same table b/c of the limited space. I feel like I definitely had better Vietnamese food elsewhere where it seemed more authentic and carefully prepared with the various ingredients.. But the staff was definitely friendly and accommodating with extra napkins, etc that we needed!

    Today is the day I revisited restaurants from my Elite Events that took place in Williamsburg last year or.more. I had a craving for a Bahn Mi sandwich which I haven't had since you guessed it... last year at Lucy's Bed Stuy, Brooklyn location. That was a great event! I was pleased to spend a warm spring like day in Williamsburg especially eateries that are close to Domino Park like Lucy's. I entered and could smell the freshly toasted bread. I placed my order and remembered my 10% Yelp check in discount, perks my friend, perks! I found a seat near the window that had cushions and a nice view to people watch. My Bahn Mi was served to me table side, love that! I unwrapped my sandwich and took a good look at my delicious Bahn Mi that was about to be devoured: the chicken with the lemongrass flavor, oodles of cilantro, cucumbers.. is my sandwich seeping into your consciousness yet?...carrots on that heavenly toasted bread. Yowza indeed! I was a bit more daring today and squeezed the hot chili sauce and it gave it a spicy kick. The black iced tea served as my fire extinguisher.All in all a delicious cheat! This location is much smaller than Bed Stuy but it still packs a great punch: nice service, chill vibe ( love the picnic tables and cushions) and more importantly the food is delicious. Consistency keeps me loyal.. thus if a restaurant can still wow me with their food and service, then I'm your customer for a long time. If you read my previous review of Lucy's Vietnamese Elite Event it started like this: I love Lucy and she loves me, I'm so happy with my Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi. I still love Lucy and if you haven't tried the establishment all I can say is you need a good dose of Vitavitavegamin( (for all you I Love Lucy fans!)

    Smoked Brisket Banh Mi (SOOO good)

    Food (5/5): - Food was FIRE - I come from a place with a very strong Vietnamese food scene. While I still prefer some restaurants back home, this place is really, really solid for NY - I got the smoked brisket banh mi which was soooo good. I devoured it in less than 10 min. I loved the texture and marinade of the brisket. The bread was nicely toasted and crispy. It also had the perfect amount of sourness and savoriness. 12/10 - My friend got the smoked brisket pho. I can't really speak to it since I didn't eat it but I tasted a bit of the broth which was also really good Service (5/5): - They were very kind and attentive. They noticed two of my friends were trying to split a bowl of pho so they offered them more broth Ambiance (5/5): - Definitely a small, cute, casual, sit-down vibes type of place! - Great place to hang out with friends Will be back if I'm ever in the area again!

I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well.

Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.
