Yet another great (relatively) new Vietnamese restaurant that opened up in Astoria. The Pho House…read moreis a casual, highly-rated Vietnamese restaurant located at 32-05 36th Ave. It is well known for serving 100% Halal Vietnamese cuisine daily, including deeply flavorful beef broths that are slow-simmered for over 10 hours. I was trying to avoid a bar or restaurant showing the England v Croatia game, as I thought England might lose. It was 2 to 2 at halftime, so I wandered down 36th Ave and decided to review Pho. Of course, they had the game on, and I said to myself, What the hell. I kept my fingers crossed. Pho's options range from regular Pho ($15.95) and Large Pho Beef Combo with brisket, steak, and beef balls ($18.95) to premium Pho Beef Short-Rib ($23.95) and a spicy Lemongrass Soup ($19.95). Both the beef and veggie phos are gluten-free. My recommendation is the Pho Beef Combo, and it was a great choice, as by the end of my meal, England won 4:2.

This is the former location of my beloved Akros, which sadly did not survive because of the lack of…read morefoot traffic, which I feel like Lotus 1 is now also experiencing. Like many restaurants in this area that aren't on the popular intersections of Steinway or Broadway, they mainly rely on food delivery orders to survive. I'm super fortunate that my family still has a home nearby, and this has been a great option to bring them to cater to their Asian tastes and be within walking distance, especially ever since Shuya closed. I will say that if you're looking for the style of pho served at those no-frills, dingy-looking places, you will be disappointed. The combo of food and service here, by no means, is the type you'll find at your typical family-operated restaurant in an Asian enclave. But it is a much cleaner, modern, and more relaxed setting. Pho is pretty good, but again, don't expect the family-run style. This is more of a place where you get your pho or banh mi fix or cravings fulfilled.

Their varied phos…read moreare like warm hugs especially when you're feeling unwell but even when you're just fine and living. They also take great care when packing to go or delivery items. Some dishes include optional sauces-- always get the sauces--, vegetarian options and build your own combos. Service is effective and quick. They keep theur prices reasonable in this economy and ask that you order directly from them, instead of the apps. Do whatever works for your budget but check them out and youll see just why I'm a fan.

We got takeout…read more Thai iced tea was very good. Great flavor. Grilled porkchop and bun salad (with fish sauce, cucumber, carrots and vermicelli) was also good. The pork chop was soft and had a decent amount of pieces. We also go the banh mi, which was packaged with a black sesame cracker. The bread was fresh and the filling was basically the same filling as the bun salad. For some reason the banh mi was more satisfying. Perhaps, it was the bread and the mayo. Definitely would return.

Spring rolls - these were amazing. Scrumptious and plumpy. Every bite was fulfilling. Oxtail pho - oxtail was good, but to me the broth felt a little underwhelming. Noodles were soggy. Bun rieu - the toppings that came with it was great. Broth is good. Noodles were great. Refreshing with the tomatoes tbh. Bon Bo Hue - winner of my night. Great toppings, great broth, and great noodles. Shrimp paste on point. Highly recc.

We visited this restaurant twice during our brief stay in the area. We enjoyed the delicious food,…read morethe attentive service, and the vibe. I was pleasantly surprised to see sugarcane shrimp on the menu. I rarely see this appetizer at popular Vietnamese restaurants in Dallas. We liked it a lot. The shrimp paste wrapped around the sugarcane stick was nicely grilled and flavorful. Don't discard the stick. Chew on it a bit to get the sweet juice out. We ordered a few entrees: beef noodle soup, bún bò huế, grilled pork chop rice, and chicken dry noodles. Everything was delicious! The broth of bún bò huế was savory and mildly spicy with a delicate taste of shrimp paste. The beef noodle soup was delicious also. The beef was nice and tender. And the portion size was generous. We also enjoyed the chicken rice noodles and the nicely charred pork chop, garnished with toasty fried shallots and peanuts. The place is beautifully decorated with a delightful ethnic touch. I particulary like the elegant decor of the wine bar. If you like adult beverages, I highly recommend taking a seat there. We enjoyed the overall dining experience, and would come back the next time in the area.

You have to go in person to join the waitlist, and the staff will not seat you unless your full party is there. It is always fun going on the weekend because they have specialty menu items. The food is consistently tasty and served very quickly. A few highlights include: - Banh Chung | Crispy Rice Cake: A solid starter to share among two to four people. The texture is chewy with a light crispiness on the outside. There is also a vegetarian option. - Vegetarian Curry: A savory yellow curry made with a coconut milk base. Really appreciate the variety of seasonal vegetables included. - Bun Ca Hai Phong | Fried Fish and Tomato Noodle Soup: Highly recommend getting this during the weekend! A nice alternative to the typical meat-based dishes. The tilapia is lightly fried, so the tomato broth does not become overly heavy, and the dill helps cut through any extra oil to balance out the flavors. - The beef noodle soups are also very good, but are more classic options. The rice platters are great to share since the portions are generously sized. The staff are always friendly and helpful throughout the meal. Service is very fast, especially considering the restaurant has always been full.

This place is pretty good for NYC Vietnamese food!! Skip the pho, get the noodle dishes!…read more We did walk in and only waited 20 minutes. The inside was cute and cozy - a true mom and pop shop. When we left, the whole family showed up and was eating together which was super cute. For the food, I would say skip the pho - it was okay. But the bun thit nuong was pretty good!! The fish sauce was a little on the sweeter side but with the egg rolls, the noodles, and the grilled pork, it was so fresh and delicious. It's one of my favorite Viet dishes and it didn't disappoint. The viet iced coffee was also pretty good for New York! I want to come back to try their banh mí!
