    We were able to walk in on a Friday night and be seated right away. The ambiance is casual and the seating was spacious. The service was fast and the pho was just ok.

    Summer Roll (2 Pcs)
    Zoe D.

    My dad and I came here for a quick lunch after dropping my phone off at a nearby phone repair store. We were seated right away and immediately served water. There were two women working, and our waitress was very attentive. She came back to take our order, and the food was out in what seems like 10 minutes- very quick service! I was also impressed by how affordable the food was, considering the area. My dad and I shared the shrimp summer rolls, and I got the vermicelli with tofu and mushrooms. Every bite was super flavorful, and the sauce had a very subtle heat to it. It was delicious! My dad got the pork bahn mi, which he also enjoyed. I will definitely be back!

    Tofu and vegetable pho
    Francie M.

    While it couldn't compare to the pho I get in the Bay Area, CA, it did serve its purpose of nourishing soup to soothe my stomachs on a long travel day. I did appreciate the spongy tofu variety to switch it up from the normal density Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby - the tofu+vegetable pho is made with beef broth, not sure if there is a true vegetarian pho

    Duck roll
    Keyla P.

    The service was good the space was clean and welcoming. I enjoyed my pho which was tasty. The duck roll was also very good. I want to try the sandwiches next time.

    No frills viet restaurant with solid pho. We stopped in on a freezing cold weekend for lunch and were seated immediately. My partner and I both ordered the flank and brisket pho which came out so quickly (less than 5 minutes probably!) and piping hot. My favorite condiment for pho is lime and the slices they gave were really big, perfect for me. Staff were very efficient - just came around once to take our orders, drop off food, and we paid at the register. This is definitely a bare bones kind of place, great for when you want to duck in quickly for a hot bowl of soup.

    Very fast service. Ordered the pho beef ball and it came in 3 minutes before I even got chopsticks, lime, and basil Generous portions too with a loooot of beef balls. Think most I've seen in a bowl of pho Admittedly tho the broth is pretty lacking in depth and complexity. It's like too much water was added to the broth and then served it. I added more hoisin sauce than I usual do to compensate. Flip side it was a little heavy on the cilantro.

    The food would give this place a 5/5 with how delicious and reasonable priced it is, but the service was horrible. The cashier ladies rushed us to eat our food and I constantly had to ask for water, utensils, etc. because they didn't want to do their job. Very casual vibe.

    Grilled Chicken Banh Mi ($10.89)
    Risa H.

    My new favorite spot for Vietnamese in the midtown east area! I walked in and ordered a Grilled Chicken Banh Mi ($10.89) and asked for extra siracha sauce on the side. It came out pretty quick and was pretty good! There were plenty of tables to sit at and the pho looked delicious, but I took my banh mi to go. Will be back for the pho and more banh mi!

    Tasty pho, cozy spot! When I got there it was almost empty. By the time I finished eating it was packed. Only one guy was doing everything. I had to wait 20 minutes for a to go bowl because of how busy he was. That's not easy.

    Esther L.

    Pretty average decent pho place in the area. Can't beat this in the area since there are barely any and the price for a meal in general is decent in the area. The classic pho bowl was like $17? The taste was good, the only reason for a lower review is because I'm biased to my local Brooklyn pho place that is cheaper and hits the spot each time but this is a decent option here in midtown/upper manhattan. However don't get the spring rolls, they are pretty small and definitely overpriced. Also pretty cozy private in crowded dining area was a plus

    The staffs were friendly. The portion of pho is big! The special combo banh mi sandwiche is good and they were relatively quick with the service. Would recommend coming here! Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5

    Tofu, broccoli, Corn and mushroom Pho with Egg Diet Coke
    Kevin S.

    Absolutely Delish! For $20, you really get more than you paid for, and a large filling meal. Service was so fast, i had walked over from Park Avenue, ordered, got my food and walked back within 12 minutes! Great relaxed storefront with kind staff as well. Adding this to my Lunch Break list and will be returning!

    Flank and Brisket Noodle Soup
    Nick N.

    In my eyes, $16 for the biggest bowl of pho you've ever seen is a great deal. We were served very quickly and had quality pho. Would definitely recommend this if you ever have a craving for Vietnamese food.

    Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

    OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't…read morewalk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

    I would rate this a 4.5 instead of a 4 but Yelp doesn't do half ratings lol…read more Yesterday, I was around the neighborhood and noticed Wagamama while wanting lunch. I remembered i liked my experience going to one in London in 2024 and decided to go. I love how attentive the wait staff are, a little too attentive. A waitress, she had long hair and a nose ring, approached me when I was just glancing her way during eating. I didn't need anything, but I appreciate the favor. That same waitress gave me my receipt too early like she wanted me to leave ASAP. This was right before I asked to look at the desserts after I finished my meal. A "Would you like some dessert?" would have be appreciated. Cedrick, my principal waiter, was phenomenal. He decided to take care of me after no one was at the hosting desk for 5 minutes after I arrived. I had the chicken potsticker ramen and it was delicious! The potsticker was seasoned very well: my favorite part. To drink, I had the Asian Arnold Palmer and it was a cute drink! Only downside is the sweetness was not even distributed through the drink, even after I mixed the drink. Even though I had an issue with the service, I saw how caring they were (he looked like a manager now) to a family that came after me with organizing their seats and getting a baby chair. I just wished they gave me the same respect instead of rushing me out the door.

There is also bar seating. It's a bit tricky figuring out what to do with your coats since the chairs aren't really meant to hang winter coats on, but there is a clothing rack in the back that someone can help you with. Everything is ordered via your phone using Toast Tab which was convenient since you didn't have to wait for your server. There was also happy hour when we arrived (6:15pm) so we ordered two hand rolls ($5 each). We ordered the chirashi bowl and the shoyu ramen. I thought the portion sizes were good and I loved the texture of the noodles in the ramen as well as my selection of fish. For dessert, we ordered the hojicha pudding which was delicious as well.

We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.

This place is packed and they have their Michelin Bib Gourmand placard all lined up from 2019 to 2025 at the front, so expectations for a good bowl of ramen is high. I tried their Tokyo Ramen ($22), which overall tasted pretty good. The noodles were freshly made and had good texture to it. The broth itself was light, rich, not garlicky, and tasted really clean. The portion did feel a bit on the frugal side. Service is alright for the most part. The bartender ended up taking the person's order that sat after me, which did tick me off a bit as I was ready to order myself and got skipped over. Ended up waiting another 5 minutes before I finally got to place in my order. A simple question asking if I was ready would have fixed that issue, rather than assume I wasn't.
