A beautiful location with wonderful options and great pricing. Everyone in our group got something different and everyone loved their meals. The service was some of the fastest I've ever experienced!

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

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
Tram N.

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
Matt L.

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
Deborah W.

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!

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!

Carlton R.

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.

Must Try: Small plate / flattened bánh ít trần?, Grilled Chicken Banh Mi…read more Me and Tanzina came here and there was basically only one thing on the menu that didn't have pork, so options were a little limited for her. I ended up coming back and trying more later though. Grilled Chicken Banh Mi - 4.5/5 The chicken was juicy, tender, and had a good amount of flavor. They also give you a lot of meat. The pickled filling wasn't overly vinegary, which I liked. Bread was good, nothing crazy. I do wish they went heavier on the mayo and pâté because it could have used a little more moisture. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - 4.5/5 Pretty much the same strengths as the chicken version. Good meat, solid flavor, good bread, and a nice balance of fillings. Could still use a little more sauce, but overall really good. Triple Ham Banh Mi - 4/5 Decent, but not exactly how I like my banh mi. It was a little dry for me. Maybe I just prefer mine wetter and a little more loaded with condiments. Small Plate / Flattened Bánh Ít Trần? - 5/5 I still need to figure out the actual name of this, but it was excellent. Very fresh and surprisingly filling, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The sauce paired with it extremely well. Easily one of the best things I had here. Price - 5/5 Pretty cheap for a New York spot, especially considering the portions and quality. Experience - 5/5 Simple menu and everything has been pretty consistent. There's a decent amount of seating and it isn't too loud. Just know that you may need cash, and there's an ATM a couple blocks away. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially for the chicken banh mi and that small plate once I finally figure out what it's actually called.

Tasty Banh Mi sandwiches!…read more I ordered ahead and didn't wait very long on a Sunday early afternoon. I asked for my Banh Mi with less carrot and daikon which they happily accommodated. The sandwiches were a little light on meat but ask for more because the prices of these sandwiches are also similarly light. There were other tasty treats and Vietnamese groceries in the shop, they also had self serve fried spring rolls in a toaster oven as well for $1 each. The women who run the shop were sweet and quick.

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place wasn't busy, but they took reservations. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was Pho Ga (Chicken Noodle Soup), which was delicious, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Dumbo Brooklyn.

Giving a fair posting of my view of Em Vietnamese Bistro, and to overall it is not my taste…read moreunfortunately. I visited 10/18/26 around 1:00 PM to be quickly seated to dine inside. The spacing is quite... intimate. I could hear everyone's conversations and breathe in their breath. Being up close to someone is not my preference however I persevered. Entering the restaurant was nice with customer service being excellent besides one employee who did not seem to respond, I wasn't sure if English or Vietnamese was spoken but did not respond to both. Come to the realization that most spoke Thai. Upon ordering, usually on a cold day, tea would be provided. I didn't realize one small cup of tea was 4$ to 5$, which quite upset me. However being near a tourist destination, I ignored it. I order just the basic pho dac biet (or at least what was first on the menu) while a friend ordered bun bo hue (a spicy soup). Overall the food? Tasted as if it was instant unfortunately, and the special "silk" noodles were sold out apparently for the day. For a basic bowl of pho, that tasted instant. Was roughly more than 20$ without tip. I, was not impressed. The bill came to more than 80$ for two people, including an appetizer of chicken wings (that closely resembled to Buffalo Wild Wings). Overall, this seems like a grand place to grab a drink, bring a business client, and build a façade. However to actually eat here? I would not come back. For those reading this, you have better luck in Flushing or Chinatown in Manhattan. This will be copy and pasted on Yelp as well. Hope this business perseveres!

We ordered the Cha Goi (Crispy Spring Rolls ($18), Pho Thin Ha Noi (Beef Pho $25), and Pho Ga (Chicken Pho). I was impressed by the meats for both phos, as they were tender. The beef had a good wok sear, while the white meat chicken surprisingly retained good moisture. Compared to Southern style pho, Northern is more clear, light broth and wider noodles. The beef pho had more flavor. You could add hot and sweet sauce to your liking as well. We have a go to place for northern pho, but Di An Di is fine. Just a little pricey. The spring rolls were delicious though. Would recommend. Would be interested to try their banh mi next time. If you are a first timer, they do give option for pho and banh mi set (which is a smaller pho bowl and half a bahn mi). The interior is spacious, but cozy. Modern with a sprinkle of traditional Vietnamese designs and plants. The staff was attentive and there was a unisex bathroom.

While the noodles came quick, the sandwich took about 20 minutes AFTER the noodles came. The sandwich was for my 4 year old since she's not the biggest fan of noodles. She was hungry and quite upset for the whole duration. The staff did come and informed us multiple times it was coming. But it took a total of 20 minutes for it finally come. The manager said it was a communication issue between the servers and the kitchen staff since we did request for the toppings to be on the side. They did apologize multiple times and did not charge us for that sandwich that took forever to come. If it weren't for that incident, definitely a solid 4 stars. Would I come back? I would, the food was good and hopefully they'll get everything correct next time.
