My experience is based on delivery: 5 star food, 5 star customer service I have ordered from the gramercy/kips bay location several times. The food always arrives hot, is always well packaged and tasty. My personal go to is the SHAKING BEEF Bo Luc Lac Stir fried Angus steak cube) bun. It is served Served w. Side Salad & Nuoc Cham: (Romaine, Cucumber, Pickled Mustard, Grape Tomatoes, Carrots & Daikon). I appreciate the choice of Vermicelli rice noodle, Thai Jasmine rice or Solely Salad. I always choose rice and the packaging is amazing, the beef is kept seperate from the rice and arrives hot and aromatic. My mom also loves this dish but ordered it with the solely salad and opts for double veggies. We have also tried several of the bahn mini including the lemongrass chicken, the brisket and the braised short rib. All are tasty. I do recommend adding the dip for $1 as it really takes it to the next level! I ordered the lychee iced tea sweetened today. It was sweet but not too sweet which I appreciated and as with everything from 5ive spice very thoughtfully packaged in a way that there is no leaking in transit. 5ive spice has some great all day and happy hour specials, I look forward to trying their food in person when I am in the area. Customer service: One time, on a particularly busy weekend in NYC, I received the wrong bahn mi sandwich. I ordered the brisket bahn mi and received the lemongrass chicken. When I called 5ive Spice, I spoke to the manager John who was incredibly apologetic and explained it was a very busy night, without offering excuses. He offered a full refund and invited me to order again and call and he would include a complimentary bahn mi. For what it's worth, it was a very busy night in NYC, all of the restaurants we were trying to get take out or delivery from were quoting 2+ hours, and John handled the situation perfectly. The food we received was tasty and did arrive on time. read more

- Comfy, cozy space with a handful of bar-height tables up front, counter seating at the bar, and booth nooks along the side of the restaurant; warm and inviting vibes throughout - We made reservations for a party of 14 (originally 17), and they were able to seat us in the rear of the restaurant; 17 would've likely required splitting up; the regular lunch crowd was steady but quiet down completely around 2p on a Thursday afternoon - Service was decent overall, though the waitstaff seemed a bit overwhelmed by our larger group; there was a small mishap with one entrée due to a gluten allergy, but it was handled promptly and professionally - The food was excellent--everyone enjoyed their entrée selections: fried dumplings (both pork and vegetarian) arrived piping hot, crispy, and flavorful, as did the Spring Rolls (with both carnivore and herbivore options); the 5ive Special Pho was especially satisfying, with a generous portion of noodles, a rich and savory broth with a gentle kick, and plenty of tender meat; I also snagged a few taro crisps from a colleague--thin, crispy, and perfect with the sriracha aioli; Thai Iced Tea had a deep, authentic tea flavor and just the right level of sweetness - I loved the restroom hidden behind the bookcase in the back--such a fun, stealthy touch, with the only indication being a cute little man/woman plaque displayed on one of the shelves; there's also a clearly labeled restroom to the right, for those who are less adventurous :) read more

Just ok, not bad. I had bun bo hue pho but with the beef broth. The soup had depth and the beef was tender, but something was a little off. The flavor was probably not to my taste. And I always prefer fresh noodles. Overall, it was good but memorable. read more

I came here after work and sat at the bar. The server was nice and helpful. I ordered the spicy short rib pho with a side of chili oil. The food came out so fast, I was surprised. This is my new go to order. It's my second time having it and it's literally so much food. I didn't even need to order anything else. I liked the vibe of this location, perfect for a lowkey date night. They were also playing the BEST music, would absolutely recommend! I need to come here for lunch. read more

Came here for a late lunch with the kids. We ordered 3 dishes between 3 kids and an adult - 2 classic phos and the bubba com. Also got an extra serving of noodles which they charged either $4 or $6 (can't remember). All came and served pretty quickly and the kids demolished the soup noodles. 3 standard dishes with tax and tip ended being $85. read more

Service could have been better. We were not checked on and had to ask someone to continue ordering after the initial chicken wings we put in! The first serve just never came back. The pho was alright, I can't say I'm dying to go back, as other pho places I've experienced in Brooklyn and California. I think I needed chili oil, because I don't use the generous portions of hoisin and siracha! Maybe just not the veggie pho! The Bon Bu Hue broth was much better. They didn't give much herbs or sprouts , but good on the jalapeños! They offer their version of tacos which is unique to them, but they aren't worth it. They shouldn't offer tacos. The spring rolls were fine! And I liked the wings a lot!!! The place was really cute as far as design! I'd give the whole visit a 7/10. I'm not running back, I love Vietnamese food too much to eat it here. read more

I stopped in for dinner here after a show at Gramercy Theater on a Saturday night. No reservation was needed, and the restaurant had a stylish, well-decorated atmosphere. The pricing was on the higher side, though that's somewhat expected for the area. A fun touch was one of the bathrooms hidden behind a bookcase. I wouldn't have noticed if my friend hadn't pointed it out. As for the food, it was decent but didn't quite live up to expectations given the price. We tried the summer rolls, which came recommended, and they were good. The menu also included corn, which felt unusual for a Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered the 5ive special pho, which was supposed to have some spice according to the menu, but it lacked any heat and didn't taste much like traditional pho broth. read more

I've heard fantastic reviews about Pho, so I decided to give it a try and stopped by 5ive Spice Tacos & Banh Mi. The food, service, and staff were excellent.

My friends and I had a pretty good experience here before a show! The Brussels sprouts and spring rolls were a definite highlight of the meal. I also liked the steak bowl. My only issue was that the wrong meal was brought to me, and when I asked for the right meal, the server told me I was wrong. I didn't appreciate that, but aside from that, I had a great time! read more

Wow The Kung Fu Pandam cocktail is a unique blend of sweet and (very mild) spice. The Pork Belly of Noodles and Pho were delicious. The Chicken Fried Dumplings were deep fried. We probably would have preferred them to be pan fried. The room was comfortable and the service was attentive. read more

I had a delivery order of fried chicken dumplings, vegetarian spring rolls and a lemongrass chicken Bahn Mi. The spring rolls were crisp and delicious with a pleasant dipping sauce. The fried chicken dumplings were on the soggy side but that might be a result of steaming inside the delivery box, one of the constant risks of getting deliver...everything gets soggy if given enough time. The lemongrass chicken Bahn Mi was packed with lots of chicken and pickled vegetables, a nice sauce and crispy bread. I would have liked a little more lemongrass added to the chicken. In all, this was a hearty, tasty meal that I would order again. Delivery was quick and packing was well done. read more

We are foodies, and this is one of those delicious restaurants that makes a cold New York winter worth it. Everything was terrific. It's more mid-range than the old school Vietnamese spots in Chinatown. The tacos are amazing, and unique. We had Pho with pork on the side, grilled shrimp salad, spring rolls, fried fish with rice.

Pho is good but small portion for the price. Ordered $140 of food and had 2 cocktails missing reached out to the restaurant for a refund and they didnt help said to call the delivery service even though the order was placed on 5spice website. Tried reaching out to the delivery server sauce wasn't able to get anyone so reached back out to the restaurant where they once again failed to do anything. They said there unable to deliver alcohol drinks but list it on the site and charge you for it. Super disappointed with the customer service on both ends. read more

The pho broth is very unique! I typically go for the beef brisket pho. The signature pho is spicy if you like that!

Best Pho I've ever had. If you are a beef eater, go the eponymous 5pice Pho -- the broth is extraordinary and all 3 meats cooked perfectly. The bun is also a good choice, I like the pork belly as well as the chicken -- both are marinated, grilled and delicious. Service is fast and friendly, the room is fun with modern Vietnamese decor. Worth walking past other restaurants to get there from midtown. read more

Order: - Pork Summer Roll (5/5) - Braised Short Rib (4/5) Pros: - Great tasting food - Large menu with great options - Cool ambiance Cons: - Overpriced - Small portions - Slow service - took a while for the app to come out and even longer for the phone - I made a reservation for a booth but when my party arrived there were no booths left. We only got seated in one because a table happened to be leaving but it took a while to clean up the table Overall: While the food tastes good, the service was slow and the food was definitely overpriced. read more

Stopped in for lunch before catching a matinee movie with friends. For starters, shrimp spring rolls and the delicious Tuna poke mini tacos. For my entree, I chose the BRISKET BANH MI, I opted to add 2 runny friend eggs instead of getting an a la carte side. Paired with their spicy sauce, it was packed with flavor and each bite was super savory and my heart & belly were both happy! I appreciate the waiter being so attentive and making sure our glasses of water stayed filled ! Look forward to checking out this lovely restaurant In Gramercy again! read more

Quite literally one of the best pho bowls I've had. At $23, the 5ive special pho was well seasoned, packed with meat, and had a great amount of garnish. I think this bowl was the meatiest pho I've had in my life, and everything was so so soft. My only complaint was that there weren't as many noodles! The waiters were very attentive. My friends and I had a reservation at 1:00 pm on a sunday, but they let us sit early as there weren't a lot of people. would have loved to try the banh xeo tacos, which is very unique, but it only came with two and were a group of three. Kind of glad we didn't because the pho was so so filling! would definitely come back for this bowl. read more

5ive Spice! A beautiful inside, with a cool wine/cocktail program. Food fell a bit flat to me? Well priced for New York; but a little expensive for Vietnamese food. Food overall was good. Table ordered bahn mi's & rice plates. The Bon bo bue really needed the lime, sriracha, and houisen sauce to keep up. SERVICE WAS SLOW! I get it, places can be understafffed, busy, whatever it is. Wait staff took 15+ minutes to get water to tables, food took maybe 45 minutes to come. read more

I came here without high expectations but I was very pleased! We got the tacos and the banh mis to try. The tacos were very flavorful when paired with the salsa and fish sauce on the side. We got the brisket tacos and the battered fish tacos. I recommend the fish one because the fried fish adds texture to the taco whereas everything else in the taco is very soft like the shell. I didnt really like was how soft the outside shell was because it made it messy to eat as it didnt hold its shape. For the banh mis, the bread was also very soft and both were good, but I think I still prefer the ones you can buy in chinatown. We also got the the sweet potato fries and sautéed broccoli as our sides and they were the best. The sauce for the broccoli made it nice and savory while the spicy mayo aioli dip paired well with the fries. We ended with the pandan creme brulee. It did have a very strong pandan flavor, which we liked but it was room temperature. We think it would've tasted better if it was chilled. read more

I stopped by during happy hour, which runs Monday through Friday from 4PM - 7PM. I ordered the Guava Warfare cocktail, spring rolls, and beef pho. The cocktail was a bit strong for my taste, but at just $8 during happy hour, it was a good deal. The spring rolls were on the saltier side, but they were quite big for the portion. As for the beef pho, it was decent--I've had better, but it's an option if you're craving pho in the area. I'm not entirely sure if I'd personally return for the food because of the quality and the pricing, but if you're nearby and in the mood for a quick Vietnamese bite, it's worth checking out for a quick stop. Service is quick and the interior vibes are good. read more

Stopped by on a Monday at 5:50p. Ordered spring rolls, summer rolls, taro chips, sautéed broccoli, chicken pho and braised short rib pho. Comments below. 1) We weren't aware the appetizer/side specials were only available at the bar/high tops. We had to change our seats after we confirmed this with our waiter. We also saw multiple parties change their seats to the bar. A friendly notice would have been nice? 2) Pretty sure their "sautéed broccoli" was boiled. See pic. 3) We waited 50 minutes for our pho and ended up having to cancel our order. Not sure what the delay was considering the broth is "slow simmered for 12 hours" per their menu. There's no reason why we should have waited almost an hour for boiled noodles. We left hungry. read more

The one dish that I always get when I travel is pho. New York City pho was good. I love how generous they were with their protein. If you like a meaty pho bowl, this is it.

Service was good. read more

The beef was so soft and savory. was the best part so i can only imagine how the brisket taste. The noodles where really good as well. However the broth was to over powered by onion and scallions. i couldnt get some noodles without there being onion in the spoon with it, with how many onions they put. an exaggerated amount of onions was in it. the service/ attention was good , the waiter was very friendly. The ambiance was great , its a very quiet full with customers place. we also got a lemonade however the lemonade wasnt so good. The beef pho was $19 which in my opniin should aeast be 15 , the lemonade was 6$ if im not mistaken and it was a little maison jar. as a first experience it was nice however we dont see ourselves coming again read more

The flavors here are always on point and the service is consistently excellent. Pho is great in the winter and banh mi/vermicelli in the summer. Our favorites are the shaking beef, brisket, and short rib. We always get the fried spring rolls as an appetizer, which are amazing wrapped in lettuce with pickled vegetables and dipped in the fish sauce. We go to the Brooklyn location regularly since it's closer to where we live, but this one's still a noticeable step up. read more

I used to go to the Nolita location on off hours occasionally. After my 1.5 year hiatus from nyc I learned there is a Gramercy location now. I desperately wanted a bowl of pho after racing NYC Half that day, and I knew I wanted to go to 5ive Spice. Since Gramercy location was closest to the race finish at Columbus Circle, I decided to head over. Mind you, there was an additional eight minute walk from the subway station, which was a lot right after a half marathon - I was quietly whined to no one while I made my way. When I'm here, I usually opt for the 5ive special, but I went for the classic beef this time because I wanted something lighter. The pho hit the spot just right - meat was tender, all the veggies were fresh, and most of all broth was so flavorful. It was heaven to my body craving salt after the race and so good that I didn't even think about adding Sirracha or lime midway to switch the flavor. Yeah I will love this restaurant forever. Excited to go back already!! read more

FYI: Writing a review gets you a free non alc drink! 5ive Spice seems like a relatively new spot, with beautiful and modern decor and tasty Viet food! We opted to split the summer rolls, as well as each got a Shaking Beef vermicelli bowl. The beef was insanely tender and flavorful, and the rest of the bowl filled with veggies complimented it well! The summer rolls were a bit small for the price, probably wouldn't get it next time. Prices are a bit steep but for the ambiance and service it was nice. Would suggest for a nice sitdown meal! read more

The bahn mi portion is crazy huge which is a steal! The peach tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. And the pho is to die for. How can a broth be so perfectly sweet & savory at the same time. So so good and i will definitely be back for a warm comfort meal that leaves you super satisfied but not overly full. read more
