I would eat pho from here again. Ordered delivery and the portion size was large. Did not dine in so can't comment on their service or ambiance of the restaurant. Delivery was good and foot came hot.

I wanted to love this place since I moved nearby, but I now know to look elsewhere for Viet food. I…read moredo wonder if I got lower quality food since I ordered takeout, but I'm not interested to try again. The rice noodles for the bun cha were rough. Refrigerated at least once and not fully heated up again to be bouncy. The egg roll and pork patties were definitely pre-fried way in advance. They were too chewy and crumbly. The banh mi doesn't use a baguette bread but rather a roll style bread, so it's really dense. The pork cold cut had dried edges. What tainted the taste the most is the soggy, semi-sour cucumber. Only pro is that this was all ready within 10 minutes. But I think that's because nothing was fresh.

District Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant, was a nice surprise in Astoria. I am pleased to say this…read moreplace had a great "perfect pair" lunch deal for $16. You get your choice of pho: vegan, beef, or chicken and half a sandwich of your choice. We both got the round steak pho and one traditional banh mi and one chicken banh mi. Honestly, having a half sandwich and a small bowl of pho really hit the spot and was surprisingly filling. Traditional Banh Mi: (4/5) sandwich was tasty and had the cold cuts with the pickled carrots. If they toasted the bread then I think it would make it even better. Chicken Banh Mi: (3/5) chicken had a nice lemongrass flavor but overall was just okay. The traditional one was much better. Round Steak Pho: (4/5) the broth was nice and lighter than my usual beef pho but still tasty. I like my pho with a wedge of lime, fresh basil and bean sprouts. So if they forget to give it to you, just ask for it. Although the restaurant may seem narrow but it's long and has plenty of tables in the back. The music is a little loud and club like but otherwise, I had a great experience here. So if you're in Astoria, I would highly suggest this place for their great lunch deal. Can't be beat!

There are multiple locations but if you're around Elmhurst, Queens definitely check it out if you have the chance. You won't be disappointed! One of my favorite obsessions right now.

Wonderful Food, Service & Atmosphere!…read more I"m Carmen . I eat alone often and enjoy places that make me feel comfortable. I had such a wonderful experience at Pho Thai! I ordered the rice vermicelli with shrimp and added the egg roll as suggested, and it was absolutely delicious. I finished my meal with the custard--the only dessert on the menu--and it was SO good! The prices are great, especially for the quality of the food. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, very clean, quiet, and relaxing, with soft music playing in the background. I also loved that there were plenty of tables that were comfortable for someone dining alone. The service was wonderful--friendly and attentive without being intrusive. And I have to mention something you don't hear often in a restaurant review: even their house tap water was exceptionally well cared for and tasted great! I enjoyed several glasses. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and excellent prices. Pho Thai is definitely a place I would return to and recommend!

1st time customer…read more Fairly new addition to the area. Modern and simply decorated restaurant with AC. Staff are friendly. I ordered the grilled pork rice vermicelli and added spring rolls for an additional cost. Upon digging into this bowl of food, I noticed what I thought was minced garlic and asked the staff... turns out to be applesauce. If you order the rice vermicelli bowls, I suggest to omit the applesauce because it waters down the ingredients in the bowl. There's pickled carrots and daikon and flavors the vermicelli when you should really be using the dipping sauce served on the side. They served complimentary hot tea which I also found to be watered down though it complimented the meal. Lastly, we each ordered a Vietnamese hot coffee for the first time which we found to be strong.

We really…read morewanted to like this restaurant since it's a local mom and pop shop, but some of the dishes miss the mark. On our last visit, we decided to go all out and order everything we wanted to try (aside from the signature pho, which we had the first time). The appetizer were quite pricey - 2 pieces of beef mushroom roll for $5 and 1 gaibi (braised beef rib) for $11. The gaibi was dry and hard to eat on the bone even though they provided gloves and a knife. The pork chop as a side was $15 for 2 pieces and also on the dryer side. It was seasoned well but I really wished it was juicier. My favorite part of the meal was the smoky beef bun cha platter. The beef was thinly sliced and tasted sweet like bulgogi. The noodles were served with a cold dipping sauce, which contains fish sauce. I enjoyed the noodles but wished they were easier to separate. Lastly, the spicy intestine pho was my least favorite. I personally do not like small intestines so it was not the dish for me. The soup was not very spicy and tasted like the offals. Overall, this is not a classic Vietnamese restaurant so you'll be disappointed if that's what you're expecting. I'd recommend coming here if you are looking for a Korean twist on Vietnamese food.

If you're even remotely near this neighborhood and craving pho, do yourself a favor and stop by Pho…read moreMetro. 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.

( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.
