Their pork bahn mi was quite good and also great sized! It was a little expensive, but you get a lot of sandwich, which includes a lot of meat. The meat was very tender and flavorful, and there was a great ratio of veggies to bread and meat! I would definitely give this one a shot! The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere inside is welcoming. read more

The grilled pork and grilled chicken over rice are always great. The portion size for the pho is smaller compared to other restaurants, especially at this price. It also didn't come with basil on the side, even though it's listed on the menu. The fresh eye of round was sliced a little thicker than I usually prefer. However, the soup was much better than when I visited a couple months ago. Their spring rolls are probably one of my favorites. Always perfectly fried and super crunchy. I like that they have different options for spring rolls: shrimp & pork, pork & vegetable, and vegetarian. read more

Delicious food for a good price Ordered the grilled pork, crab patty, and shredded pork over rice and a bowl of pho with eye of round, brisket, tripe, and beef ball. Both dishes are super flavorful and keep you wanting more. Before we knew it we were done eating. It's the type of meal where you just keep chowing down. Staff are very nice and professional. Attentive and good vibes all around. Inside has good amount of seating, from small tables to larger tables for bigger parties read more

Appetizer : summer rolls - pretty light yet a hefty snack. Entree: went adventurous and ordered Sate beef noodle. Less so is the grilled pork + spring roll bun (vermicelli). Surprised on how pleasant the sate beef, not overly rich as expected. Spring roll is very crispy. read more

Me and my friends went to Nam son to grab some food while we were in Chinatown. We started off with the rice rolls and they were delicious, even better when you wrap them in lettuce and dip them in the fish sauce. The food was amazing, the shrimp fried rice was not soggy or dry and was really well seasoned. The pho warmed us up on this winter day as well. The food was very affordable as well which was the cherry on top! read more

It's a solid old place. Cant go wrong here. My dad loves here but for me it's too old school Chinese viet style instead of just viet style.

This place has been here for as long as I can remember. I used to come here all time about 20 years ago and I remember prices being less than $10 for the pho. The prices now have gone up to $15-$17 for pho!! I understand prices rise over time but I can still find cheaper pho elsewhere. On my latest visit, I have noticed a lot of tourists dining in. Maybe it's bcus of the surge in tourists, they upper the prices. Service is always quick and friendly, no complaints there. And the food is delicious as well. Really comforting and tasty pho, I ordered the medium sized bowl and it was already a lot of food for me! I might end up getting the small next time. read more

Food is not what it used to be and the service was horrible. Lady was complaining I only gave 4 dollar cash tip for a 30 dollar order very embarrassing they should be ashamed of themselves read more

Called me crazy but I wanted a Bun Bo Hu on a 100 degree day. The soup is spicy, an umami flavor that delivers a kick. Pork sausage was ok but the pork shank was tender and flavorful. Beef shank is also tender as well, goes well with the noodles. I can't wait till winter to have this again. read more

My family has been coming here for as long as I could remember, dating back nearly 2.5 decades ago. Each year, on random days and on special occasions, we come here to have lunch or dinner or just to have a nice meal or place to catch up. Over the years, we have seen the prices increase astronomically. It is now twice as much as it was when we first started coming here. I understand the economy is also in a different place than it was but $16 for a pho now is insanely high when you can get one for $11 a few blocks away. Don't get me wrong, pho here is pretty decent but in addition to soaring prices, the taste of the pho has taken a dip. I remember very rich broths but now it's almost as if it's been watered down to save on costs. While I don't think the pho broth is as good as it used to be, the other dishes remain delicious! I'm a big fan of the pork chops here, although the amount given varies day to day. The beef cubes are also amazing and full of flavor. A plus is the waiters here are always efficient, polite and ready to help. They seem to know my parents and their needs/wants well. Haha after all, they've probably come to this restaurant well before I was even born. Everyone there is pretty chill and they don't seem to ever kick you out so it's a nice place to hang out with friends as well. read more

My visit here was definitely eye-opening. When I poured tea into my cup, I have a habit of inspecting not only my food but the silverware, cups etc. I noticed after pouring my tea that the bottom of the cup had a piece of rice at the bottom.. luckily I didn't drink from it. I told the staff and they gave me a new cup. I was feeling noodle soup so I ordered Pho. As I was eating, half way through, I found a piece of hair on the beef tendon. I told the staff and they told me, it's like that-- it's actually hair from the cow. It's definitely not from the chef because the chef is bald. Whatever explanation he gave was unacceptable to me in either case. This is an internal organ from the cow, which shouldn't have a bodily hair... unless I'm mistaken? He shrugged it off and went about his day. Up until that point, everything was good, though the noodle was a bit firmer than what I recall what Pho tasted like. This experience of finding - hair - whether it be human or animal is unacceptable. Very disappointed. read more

I was on grand street and was craving pho and spring rolls. The place looks exactly like Thai son on Baxter street. I ordered the big bowl and small spring roll. Service was slower than usually. Took a good 15 minutes before my big bowl of pho came. The big pho usually comes with the first 5 minutes after I order. Bring cash for a 3 to 4% discount. read more

A foreshadowing of what is to come next year? Stay tuned! Of course I had to try this Vietnamese restaurant just outside of Little Italy, off of Grand Street. The restaurant is fairly quiet, but there is ample seating and the service is quick. If you pay in cash it is cheaper than if you use a card. I hate that. This is a quick cash grab because this business likely does not want to pay the credit card fee and is looking for a cash grab. I tried two of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, the Pho and the Bun Cha Ha Noi. The Pho here is decent, but they cannot alter it in any way. I do not like tripe in anything. It is nasty and has a gelatinous feel that unappealing to my stomach. Once you learn what it is, you will too. Let me just say keep the insides where they belong, on the inside. Otherwise, the Pho comes with plenty of noodles, plentiful meat, and the broth is good. It is a good representation of South Vietnamese Pho. Note to reader: I spent a few years living in a predominantly Vietnamese neighborhood, so I understand the differences between North and South Vietnamese cuisine. The Bun Cha lacks. The pork is dry (claggy I might add). I like a good pork patty, and this one was just meh. There is plenty of Vermicelli rice noodles, which I like, but the problem is the pork does not mesh well with it. This should normally be a fun dish to eat, and instead I found it quite tedious. I should not have to work for my meal, but I feel I had to do so with this dish. I also found the staff quite aloof. Throwing cutlery in my direction, being condescending towards me when I was asking for small cups for dipping, I am not asking for much. Nothing drives me more crazy than when I am judged for eating something that is not native to me. Let me do me. The fact I am giving you business should be more than enough. I feel I have said that more than once here on Yelp. The food is pricey and did not feel deserving of a positive review, instead the review gets a mixed review based on decent Pho but lacking in every other category. I hope that is not a harbinger of what is to come later next year. read more

Food (5/5): We ordered the pho and then an iced dessert. Both was super good! The pho was well flavored and the dessert was balanced in terms of sweetness. Service (4/5): No issues with th service and food came out super fast. Ambiance (5/5): Nice spacious interior that is nicely lit and has good painting and some ceiling decorations in the back.

2 bun bo hue (17.95 each) + 2 ca phe sua da (6.00 each) = 47.90. NY tax rate is 8.875 meaning the bill should've been 52.15. my bill was higher than that bc they overcharge you by adding tax to the dishes and then taxing you AGAIN for the whole bill [in the employee's word]. he said even tho it says 17.95 on the menu (on the wall and on the paper menu), the real price is 18.85 for bun bo hue due to tax, and 6.21 for ca phe due to tax, PLUS tax again on the entire bill. my niece is absolutely disappointed that a vietnamese restaurant would do this to their own ppl, let alone to everyone who frequents this establishment. this was my childhood restaurant but it left such a sour taste. even after giving 30% tip for NO great service today (no tea refill, no checking in) simply due to it being the holidays, this was a very money hungry move. read more

We came here for pho on a cold day. There were 3-4 people in our group. We paid in cash. The menu clearly says no 3.5% charge if you pay cash, but they still tried to charge us. That is lying. They were very stingy with napkins. Every time we asked, they gave us only one napkin. They charge 50 cents for each to-go box (fine, but they don't tell you first). The receipt is handwritten and only shows the total. No item list, no tax, no tip shown. The total was more than what we ordered, so tax and/or tip were already included, but we were never told. The math did not add up. When we pointed this out, the cashier/owner just said "oh" and did nothing to fix it. Then they had the nerve to ask for MORE tip on top of that. Absolutely shameless. I am a local, not a tourist, and this still happened to me. Imagine how visitors are treated. Be very careful here. I will not be coming back!!! Save your money and go else where read more

3.5 stars. It's been a while since I last ate here! Quality is pretty consistent, service was no frills though cordial. Our party of 3 arrived at 9pm and they close at 9:30pm so they still seated us but asked us to order immediately which we did in a bout 5 minutes after being seated. Total seating in the restaurant probably fits about 50-60 people. They have a pretty extensive menu with many options for pho, bun (rice vermicelli), noodles, soups, appetizers, seafood, meat (beef/pork), poultry, vegetables, rice dishes. It's decently clean for an old school Vietnamese restaurant (floors weren't greasy!) and service was fast. We ordered #3 Pho Dac Biet - eye of round, brisket, tripe, tendon ($13.95) and two of the same bun bowls of #54 Bun Cha Gio Thjt Nuong - bun with grilled pork and spring rolls ($15.50). Pho came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The bun bowls came out about 7-8 min after that, and though it was close to 9:30, the staff passed us the check at 9:25, but was kind enough to wait for us to finish up quickly and leave. There's a cash price and credit card price listed on the menu for each item, equaling about 3.5% extra if paying by card. For small businesses I get it, with rising inflation that's a significant $ to gift to credit card companies. And man, gone are the days of $8.50 for a bowl of pho! The food itself was fresh and tasty, each bowl of bun we ordered came with several pieces of grilled pork which was well marinated though maybe a wee bit salty. The spring rolls were crispy and filled with pork and veggies. Pho broth was a little light but overall ok, though they gave what looked like a slightly sad amount of bean sprouts. It's been years since I last had their shareable family style dishes, so can't really comment on those now. Overall solid enough to come back when in the mood for Vietnamese food in this area. read more

Had a craving for Vietnamese and decided to do take out since it was pretty busy at dinner time. Ordered the spring rolls with pork and vermicelli. There is cucumber, cilantro and mint on the bottom. The food held well and wasn't soggy or cold when I got home. Added the fish sauce and additional hot sauce to give it a kick. Spring rolls are crispy and pork is flavorful. Will be back for Pho or to try rice dishes next time. read more

pho noodles are chewy. perfect rich broth (i like mine with extra lemon). grilled chicken and pork are phenomenal, get ready for a punch of flavor. the pork has flavor in every atom and the chicken has a lemongrass aftertaste. tip: a bit of hoisin and drop of hot sauce on each bite of noodles read more

Came here after run club with a very large group (maybe 18-20, i don't remember) on a monday night. They were super accommodating for a large group with no reservations. The food wasn't great. I got the bahn mi & i've had better before. It was a little dry, but it's better than the vegetarian pho. Most people in the group didn't really like their food. It wasn't horrible, but not anything to rave about. I would only recommend this place if you're with a big hungry group. read more

I had low expectations as I haven't found many great Viet places in the city, but decided to try a new place - much to my dismay. It's quite spacious and open and the service was very fast. The food was lacking. I couldn't even finish my pho - how did they make the noodles taste like water. They served with the wrong herbs and a lemon instead of the traditional lime. We also ordered Summer Rolls - so bland. Thank goodness for peanut sauce. read more

I've been coming here for years, but recently, both the quality and service have declined. I was really looking forward to a comforting bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup, but unfortunately, this place didn't meet expectations. The broth arrived lukewarm, which completely takes away from the rich flavor and aroma that makes pho so enjoyable. When I asked about it, the waitress (she been there for years!) casually said she could microwave it to warm it up--seriously? Microwave to warm it up in a restaurant? A good soup should be freshly hot, not reheated like leftovers. After years of patronizing this restaurant, I've decided to stop coming. I'd recommend finding a better spot read more

My family and I came to celebrate my birthday. The food was good but the service was awful. We all ordered pho which was very flavorful and overall delicious. What turned me off was the service. Our waiter did not come to the table a single time after giving us our food. I tip based of service and since I didn't receive any service I didn't leave a tip. This made the waiter very upset and demanded I leave a tip. I was going to tip $2 on a $60 tab and he said that's not enough. I was shocked. He proceeded to not leave my side and block me from leaving until I left at least a 15% tip. If you come here I definitely recommend take out. Do not dine in. read more
