    This is our third visit to 5spice but first time at this location. It is a smaller than the downtown spice we usually visit. The food is equally good, pho is the same and very flavorful. Waitstaff is nice and polite. Would recommend, you can't go wrong with this franchise.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. Although I didn't end up trying the Pho, the Bun/Com Braised Short Ribs with rice caught my attention, and it definitely lived up to expectations. I will definitely return.

    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!

    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.

    Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi
    Bruce H.

    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.

    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. Cool secret bathroom behind the library door.

    Shaking Beef Bun/Com
    Anna K.

    I didn't make a reservation for dinner on a Tuesday evening but it wasn't necessary. They have a happy hour from 4-7 so we ordered appetizers. I got the shaking beef rice and it was very flavorful. They also accept blackbird app. Will be back!

    Pho
    Maria R.

    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.

    Beef Pho
    Bianca A.

    I found this spot on Yelp and gave a try. Pho was pretty good a big amount of it. Love the tenderness of the beef, the flavoring broth and like it they put onion on top. Service was pretty fast, the place is cozy and cute. Definitely will go again

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

    I'll just say it: best tacos in the world. Completely subjective, I know -- but Los Tacos No. 1…read moremakes it hard to argue otherwise. The ingredients are fresh, simple, and clearly quality. Tortillas are made to order right in front of you, and the whole experience just feels authentic and joyful. I had the steak and pork tacos, my friend got chicken -- we went back for a second round. That says everything. A few tips for first-timers: -- Don't sleep on the quesadillas. Seriously. -- If you like crispy tortillas, order the tostada -- they deep fry it and the result is incredible. -- Get the Horchata. It's not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is 10/10 friendly and efficient. Don't be intimidated by the line -- it moves fast. Case in point: on a rainy morning, there was already a line at 11:01 AM (the place opens at 11). People know what they're doing here. The atmosphere is relaxed. They have nice, authentic music playing at all times. Highly, highly recommend.

I'm a native southern Californian and I was absolutely delighted at the quality of this Mexican food. After you order you give your ticket to the cook and they make your taco fresh, allowing you to get all the toppings or choose your toppings. It's really spacious, with high top rectangular tables for quick eating and some sit-down tables.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

We had reservations and there was a party ahead of us at the entrance. No greeting or acknowledgment from the hostess upon entrance (red flag). She seated the other party and very lackadaisically returned to her booth to finally acknowledge our presence. She seated us with menus but no brunch menu even though it was still brunch time. I had to ask the waiter for it. Took a while to get order in. We ordered two apps and one entree to share. Took even longer for our food to arrive. We ordered: Nachos - they were ok Fried calamari - overly salty, slightly fishy, and COLD Chile relleno - underwhelming, lukewarm Hibiscus pomegranate iced tea - tasted like grenadine water. Zero pomegranate or hibiscus flavor. Also, different prices between brunch and regular menu. We were charged regular menu price. Overall, super underwhelming and not worth your time or money. Chipotle would've been better than this.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good.

Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
