bedford gardens is an excellent vietnamese restaurant that's kind of a sleeper bc the name doesn't explicitly convey what they sell. this is probably one of the best bun no hue in nyc - i love that they serve oxtail instead of pork shoulder. pho is also solid, but the broth is a little sweet for my taste. i can't wait to try their banh mi and rice bowls next time! staff was speedy and super accommodating. they also have the cutest garden seating in the back!

Bun Bo Hue and 5 Spice Pork Banh Mi.
Cindy Z.

What immediately drew me to this spot is the garden dining area in the back. They almost tried to seat us inside the restaurant too, but luckily we request the back area. This space is aesthetic with all the greenery. Another thing I enjoyed is the huge variety of dishes from sushi and seafood boils to Vietnamese soups and sandwiches. It's perfect when you want a little bit of everything. My friend and I decided to each share the Bun Bo Hue ($24) and 5 Spice Pork Banh Mi ($14). The bun bo hue was flavorful and delicious. The meat was also tender, but just found the bowl to be quite pricey for the bowl. It's good and hits the spot though. As for the banh mi, this was just OK as the ingredients were minimal and the bread was a bit too hard. It did help by dipping the bread into the soup though to soften it up. Overall, nice spot with good variety of eats. With not many places that serve bun bo hue, this was a nice find in the area.

Banh mi with a side of chicken pho broth
Lynne C.

Loved the ambiance of Bedford Garden. We sat in the garden section in the back, which I would definitely recommend. Service is quick -- there's a button at every table that you can ring to let the server know if you need anything. I enjoyed the ribeye pho, it had a hot broth and good fragrance. I will say it leans on the sweeter side, which isn't my personal preference.

Bun Bo Hue Spicy Beef & Oxtail Noodle Soup and Brisket Pho

It was freezing in NYC and I suddenly craved BBH. We were nearby and chose this spot since it was the closest. At first, I thought it was just a sushi restaurant, but they actually have much more. They asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside--we chose outside without thinking, and I'm so glad we did. The back garden is beautiful. They also give you a bell to ring when you're ready, which we loved because it gives you time and doesn't feel rushed. We ordered steamed shumai, brisket pho (extra brisket), and BBH. I thought $18 for pho was pricey compared to Houston--but I was wrong. The broth was sooo good, brisket slices were super thick, juicy, and fatty. You can tell it was cooked for a long time. The BBH was just as impressive--rich, beefy, and probably the closest to Vietnam I've had. They use pig tail instead of pork knuckle, which was so tasty. I didn't even need to add anything. Honestly, this might be one of the best pho and BBH spots we've tried--even coming from Houston's big Vietnamese community. It's pricey, but the quality, service, and atmosphere make it worth it. It gets busy fast, so plan ahead. If you're in the area, this spot is approved. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in NYC!

Sushi Bomb - Tuna Avocado

Bahn xeo has a crisp delicate exterior and an almost thin creamy interior. Pretty good portion and would get it again. They have a combination of both sushi & its fun variations (crispy fried rice ball was delightful) & the back provides the illusion of a warm spring day in a cold winter.

Banh Mi

Rating: 3.5 Stars My friend and I stopped by randomly on Fourth of July around 1 PM. When we first walked in there was no one at the front so we just stood around for a bit before we took our seats. When someone finally stopped by, they gave us a choice of where we would want to sit and we chose one of the large booths up front. The booths themselves were large and spacious with comfortable cushioning on the seats. The only thing was the table was a bit dirty when we sat down. Service itself was a bit hit or miss. We got our menus, water and food pretty quickly but everything else was a bit on the slower side. We never had anyone check in on us nor did we get Utensils (except for one spoon when we got our appetizer). We had to ask for utensils after we already had one dish on the table which is pretty surprising since most places give you utensils right away. For food we decided to share: -FRIED VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS: The spring rolls were my favorite item that we ordered. They were nice, hot and flavorful. The fish sauce on the side was also a great compliment. We did also end up getting 5 spring rolls instead of just the normal 4 which was a nice surprise. -BANH MI: The flavor was good. There was a great assortment of meat in the banh mi but they were all pretty salty. I also wish there was more pate, since the amount was pretty sparse. I ate part of a half sandwich is I did not taste any pate. -PORK CHOP RICE: The rice was quite disappointing. It was not fragrant at all and a bit too moist and sticky. The pork chop on the side was also not great. Such a small piece of meat and overly salty. I am also used to have lemongrass pork chops and they did not use that flavor profile at all. The pickled daikon and carrots on the side were good though. Portion of everything was very small. All in all, a bit of a hit or miss Asian Fusion restaurant. However, I am happy that they were open on a National Holiday!

AMAZINGGG!! The food was made with so much amazing flavors!! Absolutely delicious. This restaurant has a very nice ambiance with a garden atmosphere in the back! The staff here were very welcoming and attentive! Great spot!

Sashimi Special Roll
Emily Y H.

Delicious Vietnamese food and decent sushi! Beautiful interior that was relaxing. We sat in the back of the restaurant and it was super relaxing. Stopped by around 12:30pm on a Saturday on our way to do some light shopping. We were getting little hungry and originally were going to stop at another place to grab light brunch. I saw this on google maps and decided to "walk" by and then decided to eat here instead. The interior was very pretty! Staff was very kind and easy going. We walked through the restaurant and sat in the back booth area. We ordered 2 Vietnamese ice coffees, original bahn mi, sashimi special roll, and Bun Bo hue. The Vietnamese coffee is freshly brewed and is just the way I like it! So good. Strong sweet and creamy. The bahn mi had great flavor and bread was crispy yet soft and fluffy. The bun bo hue was the star of our meal. Broth was so good and contained good amount of beef and ox tail. It's been awhile since I found a clean and tasty bun bo hue. Sashimi special roll was refreshing and paired well as an appetizer since it had no rice. Overall I highly recommend the Vietnamese food and decent sushi. Great if people are craving different things. They also have boba teas and I will be back to try bun rieu. This is great casual lunch or dinner spot!

Toro Special Roll - so good and rich!
Ginny C.

I ordered for delivery and the toro special roll is so good! I liked it more than the scallop rolls. I didn't like the crunchy scallop roll so much because it had a lot of filler. I also ordered the bun bo hue and it tasted like a good spicy beef soup but not the traditional BBH that I was looking for. Would come back to try other items or for this toro roll though if I'm ever craving some fatty fish!

Ribeye & Brisket Pho
Mari T.

Came here to have dinner on a Monday night and it was very easy to get a table for two. It's a beautiful space and what's cool is there's a button to call for service at the table. They have a partnership with mama pho on Grand Street, which is a 24 hour Vietnamese, casual takeout dining spot that I recall is very delicious. However, this brisket & ribeye pho was not flavorful. The broth was pretty bland even after adding Sriracha and hoisin. they have a very extensive Japanese menu with sushi and Ramen. the service was great and they didn't rush us to leave however it was not a busy evening so maybe that's why. Might consider returning to try the Japanese side of the menu.

Stumbled into this place after a meeting nearby, and wanted some hot soup for lunch. The back end of the resto has an amazing enclosed spacious, sunny and tranquil garden dining area. Def a must try and enjoy the garden dining. Ordered beef pho and shrimp summer roll. Their summer roll does not have noodles but more veggie focused. Pho broth was rich, slightly salty, but good. I would def come back and dine here next time I'm around.

Bun Rieu
Sophia N.

The food at Bedford Gardens was good, as was the service. I didn't find the noodle soups (bun rieu and bun bo hue) to be much better than other local options. The space is very nice though and was able to walk in with no reservation during the week for dinner.

Was starving after spending the day at the Bathhouse and just randomly walked by Bedford Gardens. We were a party of 4 and were seated in the back which was very nicely decorated with bamboos and awnings which gave you an outdoor but indoor vibe. The service was attentive and nice. It also helps that they have a bell system on each table so you can just ring then when you need service. I ordered the bun rieu with beef balls and a side of spring rolls. The food came out pretty quickly and was very satisfying. The rest of my party also enjoyed their meal. The only thing keeping me from giving these guys 5 stars is that there seemed to be an off putting smell coming from the front of the restaurant. It almost smelled like stagnant water. The back area did not have the same smell. The place isn't bad, overall.

I didn't see that till I was leaving and the guy at the counter didnt make me the wiser. The menu is huge but there were only a few items on display on the Thursday I went.

I'm guessing this is the Caribbean side of the Caribbean Soul Food ( I can joke about that, I'm Caribbean lol) The guy at the register said they have more of a full stock on Fridays and weekends.

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

Their HH deals are pretty solid -- $2 East Coast Oysters, $10 select wines and $6 beer special. Grabbed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc as I waited for my friend to arrive, which they were very patient and accommodating for. As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish. My friend also ordered a cup of clam chowder, which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the best oyster HH spots I've come across, because it seems to be harder finding good ones lately. Would definitely come back to try the other seafood dishes.

It was disgusting . I'm certain they very rarely change their frying oil. Even whilst eating the inside with cheese I couldn't even enjoy it as all I tasted was old oil . When I got home i tried the tostones to see if it was better and it was worst . Just the worst I've ever had again plagued with the stale oil disease . The arroz con pollo isn't even worth discussing . This is the opposite of finesse . It's shredded chicken ( quite dry ) mixed in with the rice and veggies and two slabs of plantains on top for looks . The fried plantains helped a lot on masking the dryness and yuckiness of this meal . This was certainly not worthy of the calorie intake at all. I've had this same meal at other Ecuadorian restaurants and this was easily the worst . The portion size was huge though if that matters . It's amazing how many people I saw coming in and getting food while waiting for my order . Maybe I'm in the minority but I swear my experience was a waste of 20+ dollars .
