    Beef Meatball Pho
    Justin W.

    The service here is great! All the workers were very kind and friendly. The overall ambiance feels home-y and I especially love that they are a 24-hour spot. The food is pretty good too! New York pho isn't usually very good, but mama pho has a solid bowl of pho. It's a bit oily compared to other spots I've been, but was tasty nonetheless.

    interesting concept here: there's a button on the tables that you press when you need your server... very convenient! the pho here is flavorful, well-balanced in terms of ingredients, and comes with the standard sides: thai basil, sprouts, jalapeños, etc. really enjoyable ambiance: dark-lit rooms, lots of plants that give the restaurant a bohemian feel, and fairly clean.

    Ribeye Pho
    Jenny C.

    I come to this spot a few times after long nights out or if I need to make it to bushwick but need some pho on an odd hour! I have a few experiences here but the last one was so bad I had to make a review. Originally coming here after nights in Bushwick was great and we got good service with curing pho and amazing sandwiches. 4am is a great time to come here along with the day after on a Sunday mid day afternoon when you're hung over and need life. We have ordered the banh mi before and the ribeye pho countless times. We see the same workers all the time and while they can't speak too much English they try their best and usually food comes at the table at the correct time and Thai tea tastes fine! I recently went during peak hours because I went to rave at an early show after Illenium (12am) - popular dj for the Asian crowd and we found practically half the restaurant came from the same place and on top of that it was already busy and people were already upset at the service. There were so many people lined up and upset when we got in that I was quite overwhelmed already. Since we all went out we were quite tired and hungry so I think we ordered the mama pho, ribeye pho, Thai tea bubble tea, spring rolls and summer rolls. Pretty easy order but this time one of the spring rolls were frozen cold so we had to send it back to them but nobody answered our bell on the table. The Thai bubble tea really lacked any flavor and the bubbles were atrocious - I don't recommend. We asked the two Asian people who look like they're supervising for help but they didn't seem to care about helping us and try to redirect us to the workers which were the same 3 we always see. It made me sad to see one of the workers were going to cry when we needed to exchange a few things and asked for a new drink because it tasted like no flavor. On top of that we also ordered the Mango salad which seemed to take up most of their time and it came beautifully crafted. So I think that took up a lot of time so if you need to order the mango salad I suggest you have an extra hour to wait. The ribeye pho and summer rolls came out super fast while the mama pho came out much later which made our friends really upset because they were super hungry at this point and we had no napkins or chopsticks. I think this place definitely needs more workers during peak time. I was honestly so sad about the workers and how they're being treated at this establishment I sort of don't really want to support this place anymore. The people supervising didn't lift up a finger even when workers were about to cry or lose it from the amount of people coming in I really think they make enough money for more people. It's open 24 hours and food here is quite expensive we literally pay almost 20 dollars for a bowl of pho. The pho quality is fine and I think that it's not a bad choice after a long night out but I would suggest to treat the workers kindly.

    Chicken Pho
    Jasmine H.

    Ordered chicken pho via doordash because I was sick. This is the first time I've ever seen braised chicken used in pho vs a more neutral flavored chicken breast. Not a fan, it's too salty and the texture of the fat was so off it was inedible. The broth alone wasn't bad, but not that great either.

    Ribeye Pho

    A phenomenal 5-star experience awaits at Mama Pho Grand Street, a spot that has absolutely redefined my understanding of Vietnamese cuisine. The food here is simply unparalleled; their chili sauce is an absolute revelation, adding the perfect kick to every bite. I can confidently say their banh mi is the best I've ever had - a perfect symphony of textures and flavors. And the pho? Truly amazing, with a depth of broth that speaks to hours of careful preparation. Every dish I tried was a testament to their culinary mastery. The great service at Mama Pho Grand Street enhanced the amazing dining experience. The staff was incredibly fast and polite, making sure our needs were met without being intrusive. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and well-cared for, contributing to a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The ambiance perfectly complements the delicious food and excellent service. It's a quiet and casual spot, making it ideal for a relaxed meal with friends or a low-key date night. The understated decor allows the food to shine, and the comfortable atmosphere encourages lingering over a hot bowl of pho. They're also open 24/7, which makes it the perfect place for a late-night bite.

    24 hours...again 24 hours...This God Send of a location is clutch for winter night especially for first responders. The broth is so damn delicious, the meat is cooked amazingly, the seafood cooks in the solid broth. I couldnt eat it all and I was craving it after being full. I will be back to tey the bowls and rolls. Im drolling about the broth right now. Some pho places have no flavor and you have to add ...this place ..no its just fine with no add on. They have veggie and plenty of meat options . The location is perfectly cozy and big. I'm legit anticipating my next day here. Definitely go.

    Killer tofu banh mi
    Greg F.

    After going to a concert in Bklyn with my son and daughter, he recommended we hit up the late-night pho at Mama Pho. So good. I love that it's open all night. The tofu banh mi is also killer.

    Vegetable Pho and Tofu Banh Mi
    Katherine G.

    As soon as you come in you can sit and scan a QR code and order. They had good music playing and you can see the cooks doing their thang. The PORTIONS ARE HUGE SO YOU BETTER BRING AN EMPTY STOMACH WITH YOU. I had a tofu banh mi sandwich and a vegetable pho the wait wasn't too long and I couldn't believe my eyes! The sandwich was amazing and comes with a small broth on the side which was different. They had siracha , a thick soy sauce? , and Jamaican red pepper sauce as condiments on the table. I loved how chopsticks and soup spoon was right there with me. The plating was beautiful and the food was great! The chefs there were very helpful and accommodating

    They just changed their interior. Now it is much more simple looking when you go inside. There used to be a trendy bamboo seating area by the entrance and it is no longer there. The food is good. I ordered the chicken pho and the spice and seasoning was just right, a hint of spice in the broth to add that zest. The portion was also filling.

    This is the place.    I ate the food first.  Before  i took the pic.

    This is a great restaurant. One of the best dining experiences i ever had. Staff was great and welcoming. And the food was real good. And get this. ITS OPEN 24 hours ! What more van you ask for

It's not like one was actually reserved, but hey, it worked out, so I'm happy about that. Onto the food: I am half Haitian, and I may not speak Haitian Kreyol, but I know my Haitian food. I can prove my Haitian ethnicity by cooking traditional dishes. The legume was on point! That dish was my favorite. My friend truly enjoyed her salmon. Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!

I ordered the vegan platter whose black beans were smooth and piping hot, alongside the crispy fried tostones and meaty vegan meatballs. In fact the meatballs were so meat-like that neither my sister nor my husband could belief that they were made of jackfruit. The white rice was also extremely fluffy and moist and judging by the diligent rice-washing that was taking place behind the counter as we ate, I could tell that the staff really works hard to make it not just an afterthought, but a quality addition to the meal. My sister also really enjoyed her shrimp plate while my husband devoured his half-chicken platter. The sauces on our platters were also extremely flavorful, complementing the proteins in a beautiful way. All of us left Lakou Cafe feeling happy and satisfied with the portion sizes and level of quality. 10/10 I will definitely be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Brooklyn!

    I was greeted by a cashier named Tyler, who suggested I try their vegan cheeseburger. The patty is…read morea mix of oats and mushrooms, and the "cheese"--which is actually a cashew-based creation with oil--has a subtle flavor. It also comes with a vegan ranch-style dressing. When I tried it, the overall taste was nutty and mushroom-forward. Does it taste like beef? Not really. It's more like a lightly seasoned, spongy mushroom patty with hints of the creamy cashew "cheese" and dressing. The burger is a bit messy and tends to fall apart, so you'll want to eat it over something or wrap it in plastic or parchment. Alternatively, you can order it as a wrap, including a gluten-free option for just $1 more. Honestly, I think the wrap might be the better choice over the burger bun. I also tried the chili, which had a distinct split pea flavor with plenty of beans and a nutty undertone. The potato salad was creamy, made with diced potatoes that were lightly seasoned. It wasn't particularly memorable, but it was fine. Overall, for $13, the meal was decent. I don't approach vegan food expecting it to mimic fast food; I look for quality and originality, and this place offers something that's passable. The vibe is very indie and hipster, with a sense that they put care and spirit into their food. I've walked past this place before--I even visited once with my sister to try the cornbread and chili, which were okay--so I figured I'd stop in again. The location has charm, but the food didn't leave a lasting impression. It's good for what it is, and I appreciate the effort, but nothing really stood out. I've read other reviews saying the quality was better pre-COVID, though I can't speak to that since I never ate here before the pandemic. If that's true, it makes sense. Would I come back? Maybe, but probably not on a budget. For what it is, though, it's worth trying if you're curious.

I knew I wanted griot (fried pork) with black rice, so that's what I ordered. They were busy, so my food took about 30 minutes to be ready. I was fine with the wait. The bar seats were comfy and I was on my phone. There was also loud reggae music playing from the other room, so I was jammin. I got home and dug into my food and it was almost perfect. The griot was delicious. Just crunchy enough on the outside and tender on the inside. The black rice was a little disappointing, but nothing major. I love black rice, but it lacked flavor. Luckily they give you a side of gravy, which was tasty. I should've taken the girl at the counter up on her offer to get an extra side of gravy. I still devoured everything though. It also came with fried plantain. I'm not a huge fan of unsweet plantain, but it was good when I added the picklez to it. Picklez is spicy, so tread lightly if you don't like heat. 5 stars for Anmwey. I will certainly return.

    Looking for a carnival themed island vibe with great cocktails and authentic Caribbean cuisine,…read morecome to Savannah Spiced located in Brooklyn Here's what we had Drinks Sorrel Punch - The Sorrel Punch is a smooth, creamy cocktail that puts a Caribbean twist on the classic frozen piña colada. Instead of pineapple, it features the bold, tangy flavor of sorrel. Blended with coconut cream and rum, it's rich, refreshing, and full of island flavor. Def a fave and it tastes as good as it looks! Sexy lady - The Sexy Lady is a light but strong fruity cocktail that mixes the fresh taste similar to a lychee martini with the sweet, floral flavor of elderflower and juicy tropical fruits. It's smooth, fun, and a little flirty. We enjoyed this so much that we found ourselves guessing the ingredients! Sweet chili wings and Oreo waffle- The waffle batter was rich and delicious, with that classic cookies-and-cream taste shining through. I just wish it had been a bit crispier and more golden brown--that's my personal preference. Still, the flavor was on point. The wings were the real star perfectly cooked with a sweet, tangy, and spicy glaze that hit all the right notes. Altogether, it was a fun and tasty twist on sweet and savory. Chicken and Birthday Cake Waffle- The waffle had a sweet, cake-like taste with colorful sprinkles mixed in, and the batter was really tasty. I do wish it had been a bit crispier and more browned to give it that perfect texture, but the flavor made up for it. The fried chicken on top was juicy and well-seasoned, adding a savory balance to the sweet waffle. Overall, it was a creative and satisfying take on a classic sweet-and-savory combo. Appetizer Jerk wings- Hands down the favorite of the meal. They were packed with bold flavor--spicy, savory, and just the right amount of heat. The seasoning was spot on and the wings were cooked to the perfect texture. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and left you wanting more. A true standout. We also can't forget the special sauce on the side--creamy and slightly sweet, it paired nicely with the wings and helped balance the heat. That said, the wings were so flavorful on their own, they didn't even need it. Entrees The Calypso Shrimp- Was beautifully presented as a standout dish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, juicy, and coated in a sweet and spicy secret sauce that had just the right kick paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. It wasn't a fave but the presentation made up for it! Oxtail Low Mein - Beautifully plated in an abstract bowl. The Oxtail Lo Mein was a flavorful fusion dish that delivered more heat than I expected--but in a good way. The noodles were coated in a rich, savory brown sauce, and the oxtail was incredibly tender, falling off the bone. Each bite was packed with bold flavors, especially the deep notes of ginger and soy. The spice gave it an extra kick, making it a comforting yet exciting twist on classic lo mein.
