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

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!

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!

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.

One of my favorite parts was that when you're almost done, you can ask them to pour soup into your bowl, which basically turns it into a whole second dish! Such a fun way to finish the meal. We also tried the wagyu, which was really good, but honestly, the wagyu rice stole the show for me! Overall, great food, service, and ambiance. The restaurant was packed when we went, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time!

The tables are a bit small and tight though, so they brought out our food in courses. We started off with the Kaishin Don ($45), which was perfectly plated over a bed of rice. This one came with a good amount of uni, which was much appreciated. Then we had the Ozakaya Donburi Set ($49), which is such a fun one. You have a raw egg to mix into your seafood bowl accompanied with some pickled veggies and sliced sashimi. Once you've ate more than half your bowl, you can get a broth that finished cooking your fish and turning the rice into porridge. The broth is savory and tangy, which gives it such a nice and refreshing flavor. We enjoyed both of these dishes a lot and it was fun to make your own handrolls. Then came the Mentai Pasta ($19), which is sadly one of the worst things I've ever ate. Not only was there barely any Mentai flavor, but the mayonnaise completely overpowered everything. I couldn't get over how I might as well have ate a spoonful of mayo on its own; that's how rich and heavy this dish was. The bacon was overcooked as well but somewhat cut all the mayo. I even tried to add some soy sauce but there was no saving this pasta. We ended up tossing the rest of the dish and I am not one to waste food. I even tried to complain to the waitress but she just ignored it. It was unfortunate because the other dishes we had were amazing. Luckily we were still able to end on a good note as we ordered the Oshiruko ($12) for dessert. This came with two scoops of matcha ice cream, grilled mochi, and red bean. Everything went well together and the matcha was strong. It's wild how good and bad some of the dishes were here. Definitely stick to the sushi and rice bowl dishes and whatever you do, DO NOT order the mentai pasta unless you love mayo.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

While wandering through Bed-Stuy on a weekday evening, my husband and I decided to try out this new…read moresushi spot. It wasn't terrible--but I had a lot of mixed feelings. Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

This fit the bill exactly. We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
