    Service felt kinda weird. I had to ask for utensils and ask for water. Food came out fast and the pho is great but the rice was questionable. Might've been the driest chicken I've ever eaten and despite me downing the entire fish sauce tin onto the chicken, it was still very hard to eat. They also had the same song, "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes, looping for the thirty minutes I was there so I now despise the song

    Flank and brisket pho
    Anita W.

    My friend and I stopped here on an early weekday afternoon wanting something warm, like a noodle soup. Their menu is very straightforward with a few categories and some varitions. We got the flank and brisket pho, and the grilled shrimp vermicelli to share. Food came out quickly and was fresh and piping hot. The pho broth was clear and soothing and the sauce in the vermicelli paired so well with the dish. There's chili oil and Sriracha to self serve on each of the tables. Most of the tables are tables for 2 but we saw a larger group come in during our visit and they were led towards the back past the counter so it seems like they have space to accommodate larger groups.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Dry noodles w shrimp
    Sonya H.

    I stumbled upon this place, while searching, yelp and shopping at Bloomingdale's. I ordered the summer roll with Shrimp, which was very good. And also a dry noodle that kinda resembles a salad with shrimp. It was excellent! I was surprised as I had never had that before. I wanted a soup, but they only had beef broth. They do have tables in the back. The bathroom was clean. The service just OK and I believe this is more of a take out spot. Which was fine because my order came out quickly. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the service. I certainly needed another napkin and possibly.possibly a soda. Food here is excellent! Service not so much! I would definitely recommend this place. But probably best to carry out. I'm still waiting for my napkin and some to go bags. No one ever checked on me here. Granted I was seated in the back. No excuse.

    Popped into this new Vietnamese spot by Herald Square for a quick weekday lunch. The place is fresh…read moreand clean, with a modern self-serve setup where you order via iPad. I got the pho ($21.78), which is steep for pho, but I guess that's Midtown prices for you. The wait was a slog--over 20 minutes for a bowl of pho, which other Yelp reviews warned about. When it finally arrived, the soup lacked that authentic pho aroma, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the beef was fresh, and the reusable to-go bag was a nice touch. Decent, but the wait and price make it hard to love. Might try again if they speed things up.

    Okay, so I came back after a couple weeks from my first visit and had the most perplexing…read moreexperience. I ordered "Plain Pho", which is described as just broth and noodles, no garnish or meat. After waiting 30 minutes, for what is literally the simplest item on the menu, the bowl is brought out and it's a bowl of broth with a couple slices of chicken. No noodles. When I inquired, the server told me it's because I ordered the Plain Pho... yea and I said it comes with noodles and broth. They told me they could get me noodles, but acted like they were doing me a favor by fetching noodles for me, which was quite offputting because the noodles were quite literally half of the dish I actually ordered. How does one wait half-an-hour at a very casual fast Vietnamese food place, for premade soup and noodles, and still have the order wrong? In the end, I did get my noodles and broth, but the fact that I had to spend this much time and also justify my request for noodles (which are part of the dish) is quite insane. I put this at 2 stars for now, because I enjoyed my first time. Hopefully the service will improve.

    Midtown New York is not exactly known for quiet, intimate dining experiences. It is known for…read morecrowds, noise, and restaurants that seat you next to a stranger close enough to accidentally share an appetizer. So when my family stumbled into Pho 39, a tiny spot with just a handful of tables tucked away from the chaos outside, it felt less like finding a restaurant and more like discovering a Rebel outpost that somehow survived undetected in the middle of Imperial territory. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a solid Vietnamese spot: pho, combination rice plates, the usual lineup. We were ready to order and move on with our lives. Then we saw the tacos. Vietnamese tacos. On the menu. Sitting right there between the banh mi and the spring rolls like they'd always belonged. Nobody in my family said anything for a full three seconds, which for us is basically a standing ovation. We ordered the duck spring rolls to start, which were fresh, well packed, and disappeared faster than a starfighter in hyperspace. For the mains we went with the beef flank pho and the banh mi combination special. The pho had a clean, well developed broth that clearly had some time put into it, and the beef flank was tender enough to make you slow down and pay attention. The banh mi combo was solid, balanced, and hit all the right notes. We did not get the tacos this visit, which means we have a built in reason to return and nobody can argue with that logic. For a small room in the middle of one of the busiest cities on the planet, Pho 39 manages to feel genuinely calm and focused. Good food, good value, and a menu with enough surprises to keep things interesting. The Force is strong with this little spot.

It isn't massive but you can finish it and not want to fall asleep at your desk afterwards which is ideal (for me). I walked in maybe 10 mins after I ordered and was greeted with smiles. My sandwich was ready for me too which was great, in and out, easy. The sandwich itself is delicious! It comes with a small ramekin of very spicy rooster sauce. I would definitely order for pickup from here again for the days I want to grab a quick lunch and get right back to work!

    I've seen the LoveMama food truck in Williamsburg many years ago but never got around to trying it…read more I knew about the restaurant but also have yet to try it until yesterday. They have a great lunch special for $13.99 entree & drink. Very nice deal. I ordered the Nasi Lemak with chicken and the calamansi honey jasmine drink. As a Malaysian, I can confirm that the Nasi Lemak was good. I would just recommend that they give the rice and curry a few minutes to cool down before serving. This dish should never be served piping hot. This is a lukewarm or room temperature dish. I would also recommend peeling the cucumber completely which is the authentic way. The peel had a bitterness which wasn't pleasant. The calamansi drink didn't have any jasmine flavor and needed more calamansi, but still refreshing. I ordered a mango sticky rice to go. It was just ok. Overall, I'd come back to try more things. Service was friendly. Fyi there's a fee for credit card payments.
