    Pho brisket
    Steph W.

    Ambiance (5/5): No frills establishment but plenty of tables. Service (5/5): Easy to order via QR code, but pay via server. Super friendly server who checked in on us a couple of times. Quick to service and timed dishes well. Food: Scallion Pancake (5/5): A beautiful exterior crunch to the pancake. It was balanced in flavor and not overly oily. Brisket Pho (5/5): The meat comes on the bone and it falls right off. Very tender meat and juicy too! The broth has such umami and depth. The portions are large. Everything was just right.

    The pho and spicy lemongrass noodle soups were really good! Broth had depth, meat was tender and beef balls were homemade (soft texture). There is no tendon or tripe on the menu though. Pricing is on the higher end but not unheard of for the alternatives in the area ~$18-19 per pre tax and tip. The biggest disappointment was the spring roll because I loveee a good spring roll. This had lots of oil when biting into it and texture was a bit chewy even though we ate it fresh at the restaurant. The system here is a bit unique. I signed up for waitlist online and received a text when table was ready. I tried to call the restaurant but no one picked up and I showed up 5 min later. The hostess said I was a no show and took me off the list already which was so odd because there was no option to indicate I'm coming or almost there, and it was only a few minutes later. We were still able to be seated right away because we were willing to share a large table with another seated party of two while everyone else waiting didn't want to do that. Then you order directly on your phone but pay by flagging someone down. And be prepared to pay 3% surcharge for credit cards (not even sure if they take cash because she just told us to tap the portable and there was no indication of fees). Would definitely come back just for the noodle soups! Glad a closer great pho option is in the neighborhood.

    Short rib pho
    Bernice M.

    We came here on a Sunday at around 7pm and every table was filled and people were waiting to eat. We put our name down with a telephone number and walked around the area for about 30-40 minutes. They did call asking if we would share a table but we chose not to and then walked over to make sure they didn't take us off the list completely. You order your food off a QR code. The short rib pho was so good and had so much short rib meat. It was tender and flavorful. The broth had a little sweetness to it. I enjoyed it. My partner got the spicy lemongrass soup and added extra spicy lemongrass. It had great lemongrass flavor and I enjoyed the meatballs as they seemed homemade and not as packed/dense. We enjoyed our meal and the service was great.

    I'm really living for all the new Asian Halal places opening up in Astoria, Queens. First it was Prime No. 7, and now a Vietnamese spot!! I came here on a Friday evening (it definitely gets packed and there was a wait time so I recommend try to reserve a table, if it's an option). I went for the beef short rib pho and I shared calamari with my friend. The pho is very big by the way and can easily be shared by two people. To be honest, I wasn't too much of a fan of the ribs but that had nothing to do with the restaurant (I should've known it was gonna be very chewy as that does tend to be the nature with ribs) . However, the broth and noodles itself was really great. The flavors are really immersed in there and my friend who generally does not eat halal sad it tastes like other Vietnamese places. Next time, I'm definitely going to go for the banh mi (it was unfortunately sold out when I was there) and try a different pho. Will definitely come back!

    spicy lemongrass pho - perfection!!
    Ashley B.

    Finally there's a place in new york that has decent pho! I went here with a friend during its grand opening and ordered a spicy lemongrass pho. The broth and spices were absolute perfection. I went the following week with someone else to show them that a unicorn of good pho just arrived in Astoria. The service is great too - they're very attentive and fast!

    So happy to have one more halal pho spot in Queens! I had pho with brisket and steak and it was very soft. The broth was spicy and not too heavy and the noodles were silky smooth. The staff were very kind and attentive.

    spicy lemongrass soup
    Brian S.

    first time getting halal pho but this place is solid. portions are generous with noodle, meat, and toppings. the pho broth wasnt very flavorful to me but the spices and toppings more than make up for it. halal meatballs were interesting. when i stopped by it was pretty late but they were still packed and i waited 15 mins. felt a bit understaffed but seevice was nice.

    Vietnamese spring roll
    Anh Y.

    This is a new halal Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood (they have another location in Edison, NJ). I would give this place 4.5 stars. We went on a Saturday evening and the place was pretty busy. We were promptly seated. We viewed the menu via the QR code at the table and placed our order with a server who came by shortly. We started off with the spring rolls. They came to the table piping hot, with some lettuce and mint to wrap it in before dipping into the fish sauce. The pho beef combo (large) came with brisket, steak, beef balls, and tendon. The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender, but my SO didn't care for the mushy texture of the beef balls. I had the grilled rice platter with a combo of four types of meat: grilled chicken, fried chicken, grilled beef, and grilled shrimp. The meat was well seasoned, tender, and tasty, and was accompanied by white rice, tomatoes, cucumber, shredded lettuce, and pickled carrots/daikon. I had ordered a soda lemonade, but I wish the sugar syrup at the bottom was better blended since I was getting globs of syrup when drinking through a straw. The meal was delicious, but a little pricy (the pho was $17.95 and the rice platter with the combo of four meats was $23.95). This is a good option for when I don't want to trek out to Jackson Heights for a bowl of pho.

    My friend and I came here to eat for lunch. The pho, the calamari, the skewers, and the Vietnamese iced coffee were amazing! The staff had us seated right away, and the food did not take long to be served. I would recommend this place and will come back to eat!

    Food & service were amazing. I genuinely loved the beef brisket in my pho. The place was clean and cute :)

    Spicy beef lemongrass Pho

    Big stars for this recently opened place. I had the spicy beef lemongrass pho which was perfectly spiced with plenty of heat but not so much to overpower the fresh, high quality ingredients so perfectly executed. The thin sliced beef was soft and tender, noodles nice and chewy and onions wonderfully wilted with broth and flavor. Really delicious. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Even had been asked multiple times if I wanted more accessories (beans sprouts, jalepenos, basil or fresh lime). Took home their Dan Dan noodles as that is one of my baseline foods and while interestingly different from the traditional versions I'm used to, was delicous none the less. Bouncy/chewy noodles and a nutty, earthy, spicy sauce and I do recall the unmistakable buzz and tingle of real Sichuan peppercorn. I will be back!

    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!

    Anyone remember that viral TikTok / IG video of that influencer that came here for a collab, to…read moreonly post a bad review once she got called out for not holding up her end of the bargain, and then also get exposed for killing a dog while dog sitting. Crazy times. Anyways...I didn't realize it was this spot until one night I was craving pho in LIC and found this spot on Yelp. Once I saw the storefront, I knew which restaurant this was and got very excited to finally try them out. For drinks, I had to get the Vietnamese Espresso Martini ($19). It had that distinct Vietnamese coffee taste with a mix of alcohol, which blended in nicely. It luckily did not keep me up all night. For entrees, we split an order of the Shaking Beef ($33) as well as the Bun Rieu ($22). We probably could have just ordered one or the other to split as we were very stuffed by the end of the meal. Both were delicious and would recommend. The Bun Rieu is unique that it is a pork and tomato soup base, kind of like in hot pot (delicious a refreshing btw) with a hint of fish sauce. The Shaking Beef is a classic which comes with jasmine rice. Beef is prepared and seasoned perfectly. There were other items that looked and sounded delicious, but my wallet prevented me from doing so. There's always another time, which I will be looking forward to. Shoutout to our server Daniel who was amazing and super hospitable.

The venue is narrow to start, then opens to the main dining room w the big bar with bar seating, and the rear dining space. There was even an upstairs (not in use at this evening). I was immediately able to get a seat at the bar top on 8p on a weeknight. The place was bustling with guests. Service (5/5): Multiple servers were floating and helping with orders and dishes. I was attended to throughout my dining experience. Signature Pho $21 (3/5): The broth was light but almost to the point of being flavorless... The portion was large. The pieces of meat were a bit chewy and not tender. I was disappointed that a pho priced so high didn't meet my expectations. Minced Pork Bahn Mi $14 (4/5): I loved the taste and mix of ingredients, however I was not a fan of the bread. It wasn't soft enough and hurt the roof of my mouth. I enjoyed the Bahn Mi over the pho more. Their menu is extensive and would want to try the other dishes, maybe I ordered wrong. Everything is way more expensive than usual Vietnamese spots I've been to.

Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!
