Came here with the hubby and really enjoyed the food. Got the signature pho and the bone marrow. Viet ice coffee was yum. I really liked the bone marrow. The waitress there was really attentive and I appreciate that a lot. You can tell she is super sweet, sincere.... she does a great job!! We will always come back. read more

Very good pho. I got the one with meatball brisket and one other kind of meat (can't remember but it's their signature pho). I eat pho often and this is an authentic one. Comes with all the normal toppings: lime, bean sprout, jalapeño and herbs. Also comes with packets of sriracha and hoisin. Good pho and authentic. Not the best one I've ever had but it's up there. I would eat pho from here again. Ordered delivery and the portion size was large. Did not dine in so can't comment on their service or ambiance of the restaurant. Delivery was good and foot came hot. Vietnamese coffee was VERY good. Super delicious. Some of the best I've had. I would be back. read more

Bun Bo Hue!!!! That's all I gotta say, it was amazing. Love the spices in the broth. Meat was very tender. It's like a hug in a bowl. The service was wonderful, waitstaff was very attentive. read more

Had a good experience eating dinner here on a weekday night. I have been to the LIC location before and had a wonderful time. I ordered the Signature Pho and my girlfriend ordered the Pork Chop pho. The texture of the noodles was perfect, not too soft but not hard either. The beef broth was flavorful - I nearly drank the entire bowl. I deducted a star because I really did not like the flavor of the pork chop. It did not have any char flavor and was too sweet. It reminded me of Chinese char siu sauce, which I never thought I would say to pork chop at a Vietnamese restaurant. I prefer it to be more savory than sweet which has been my experience at all the other Pho spots I've been to. read more

Haven't eaten at this place in a while. Ordered salt and pepper fried squid, spring roll, and pho. The squid was really good. Def recommend The spring roll was also really good. Only issue is that it's kind of pricey for just one roll cut in half. They used to give two rolls. The pho was okay. Broth is really good, disappointed part was the noodles were overcooked so the noodles were all broken so it was difficult eating it. Overall was good. Def want to try other dishes. read more

A very good Viet restaurant in Flushing. A small restaurant but it wasn't cramped. The beef pho had great broth but the quality and quantity of the beef was average. The chicken pho was better. The chicken was flavorful and tender. The Vietnamese pancake was the stand out dish. It was crispy and had a good amount of filling of crab and beef. Service was good. read more

I like this place! It's quite small (maybe room for 30 people), but it wasn't too crowded when we went. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered mostly pho, which was really good. I'd recommend the Signature, as it's only $16 and quite delicious; they don't skimp on meat which is nice. The shortrib pho is the best tasting, but it's $25, so it's not the best deal. Personally, I'd come back for the leek pancake. It's almost mochi-like, but comes out steaming hot with dipping sauce. So so good! At only $10, it was excellent value. I'd def come again, or visit their new location (this one is the original). read more

It's my second visit at this location. Staff is always friendly and quick to take your order. I really enjoy the chive pancakes and the Pho. Classic beef brisket, tendon and beef round pieces. The broth is great- not too salty and has that nice bone broth finish. The noodles are very good as far as texture and it's cooked just right. My friends like to order the truffle fries, guilty pleasure. And I like ordering the hot tea with my meal. It's good for digestion and they give you a small tea pot that yields over 6-8 cups of tea. Great for sharing. I've always over ordered so I've never had the desserts. Next time! I've also done take out and the go to besides the Pho are the grilled pork chops over rice. Two generous chops, grilled to perfection. Has grill marks and the fish sauce accompaniment is delicious. Totally recommend. read more

This was my last meal in NY before heading home to CA. The Bun Bo Hue was good, I asked for it extra spicy but it wasn't. Their version was somewhat traditional with a heavier shrimp paste flavor but still a bit too Americanized for me. It doesn't have pork blood and came with the same accoutrements as pho, no cabbage. Crispy Summer Rolls was tasty but a little skimpy for the price. I was expecting to be a bit more wowed based on reviews but overall was still an enjoyable meal! read more

Found this place on Yelp and came here for early dinner. This place is small and it gets full really quickly especially during dinner. For appetizers we got the fried salt and pepper squid and crispy wings. The salt and pepper squid was crispy and flavorful. The crispy wings were pretty good especially with the homemade sauce. I really enjoyed the bbq pork vermicelli. The pork was flavorful and I liked the combination of food in this dish. The pho was also good but the short rib was a little tough and dry. We could've done it without the short rib. read more

The food was great! Came here for dinner with my friends and had a good time. We ordered pho and the grilled pork chop over rice, along with a few appetizers, and everything was satisfying. Although, the fried salt and pepper squid could be a bit crispier, and it would've been nice if it came with a dipping sauce since it was a little bland on its own. My friends got thai iced tea, and I ordered a lychee thai tea. The staff were super nice and patient, didn't rush us to finish our food. Overall, great food and warm service. Would definitely come back or check out their LIC location. read more

This place is adorable and quaint. Come off peak hours to grab a seat for a larger group because the place is popular. Service is polite and quick. Ordered a few things to try and the winner was the pho. The pho is light but the broth is flavorful and exactly what you want with meat to noodle ratio. The reason for the rating is everything else. We had the pork chop over rice, chicken wings and sandwich. All delicious in flavor but seriously sweet. It was tough for my palette to digest the sweetness in every bite for these meals. Perhaps it was just a heavy hand this time or the marinade was just off this time. Willing to try it again just for the broth and attempt the sandwich again. read more

This place is a gem among a street of cafés and mainly Korean restaurants. I come here a few times a month for takeaway if I have dance class down the road. I was first introduced to Chef Papa years ago through a Yelp Elite perk, but I have come back as a regular throughout the years. They consistently make bomb Bahn-mi's and authentic pho, but all of their classic menu offerings are fire. The Bahn-mi's are stuffed with pickled shredded carrots, fresh herbs & veggies, and a choice selection of meats. Personally, my favs range from the classic house special to smokey grilled pork chop to fragrant lemongrass chicken, but you can't go wrong with any of them. The crusty bread and fresh ingredients makes everything taste really authentic (in fact, I attest to housing this behind the wheel... I couldn't even wait til I got home!) The classic pho comes with a broth that is rich, deeply aromatic, earthy, with fresh herbs, poured over perfectly cooked chewy noodles topped with tender meat & tendons. It's one of those broths that lingers for a while and you can't wait to have again. I can't forget to rave about their shrimp summer rolls: super fresh and light -- definitely best eaten right away while the rice paper is still soft and everything inside tastes crisp. For $7, this can make for a mini- lunch or hearty snack to you tie you over between meals. The peanut sauce on the side is the perfect accompaniment to bring everything together. While the above three are my regular goto favs, on my most recent visit, I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the grilled pork chop vermicelli -- both were seriously good. The Bun Bo Hue had a really rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice. Even though I ordered it mild, it still had a significant kick (so fair warning to those who cannot handle spicy). Hubby ended up devouring that one. The hearty broth was simmered properly as noted by that deep, comforting flavor. The grilled pork chop vermicelli was just as solid. The pork was juicy and nicely charred, with a slightly smoky sweetness that paired really well with the fresh herbs and pickled veggies. The chewy noodle underneath soaked up all the collective juices. The portion size was generous that I had enough for lunch the next day. Overall, it's a great spot if you're craving authentic, comforting Vietnamese food. Friendly and fast service too. Pro tip: 3% discount if you pay in cash. Everything I've tried over the years has tasted balanced and fresh. I'll definitely keep coming back to try more from the menu! read more

I've eaten in person multiple times before, but this is for a delivery order. The service is usually attentive. They have hoisin and sriracha on every table, as well as a QR code for an online menu. I normally get a Regular Pho, but was in the mood for something different. The Bon Bo Hue had a great balance of sour and spicy, and you can definitely taste the shrimp paste. It smelled so fragrant. The noodles had a good chew to them. However, the meats were a bit overdone, especially the beef, which I didn't finish. This could be due to it being delivery, but was a bit disappointed since their meats (especially the over rice or vermicelli dishes) are usually cooked well. The Salted Lemon Drink was packaged securely. Flavor wise, it reminded me of Umeboshi, there's actual salted lemons in the drink! Overall, a decent spot to hit. Just be sure to pick and choose what you order if you're getting delivery. read more

Limited seating so be prepared to wait ~30 mins, especially on a rainy day when everyone wants pho! The Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi was actually very filling with generous portion of beef - the picture is misleading cause there is more pickled carrots but believe that the beef is tender, juicy, flavorful and plentiful! We also enjoyed the Vietnamese Pancake, which was also loaded inside - I particularly enjoyed the mung beans, which I've never had in a Bahn Xeo but it added this nuttiness and savory taste I enjoyed. read more

I came here with a girlfriend yesterday after hearing about the social media drama tied to this place. We came on a Saturday for lunch and were seated immediately - the restaurant had ample seating for about 8-10 parties! We started with the Thai iced tea, and also got the veg spring rolls as an app, and they were good, standard Vietnamese spring rolls! Thai tea was also good, but standard! For mains we ordered the signature pho and lemongrass chicken. The pho broth was sensational but the beef felt a little overcooked to me. I would order just the broth and noodles next time w no meat! The lemongrass chicken was also good, chicken was so flavourful but felt like the platter itself was missing something. Overall, delicious meal, great for cold days. I soooo disagree with the horrendous review from the social media influencer, this place is a little hole in the wall and has good food! Plus points for clean bathroom, but the parking situation is a little bit of a nightmare! read more

Overall very solid restaurant that's great value. I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and it definitely got quite busy. The restaurant had a decent amount of seating and it was a nice spot to grab a meal.We started off with the summer roll and fried calamari. The summer roll tasted delicious and paired well with their peanut sauce. The calamari was also fried nicely with not too much batter and had a good kick to it. I got the vermicelli for my main and was impressed by the portion size - there was plenty of meat and veggies in it. I will be back to try their pho next time! read more

NY is not particularly known for its Vietnamese food, so when comparing to other places such as Houston or the West Coast it often falls short. Here, the pho is generously sized and at a good price and for NY, this pho is pretty good. They also have bun bo hue, which is a little more of a rare offering. Inside the restaurant is but the service is very fast. read more

It's a charming little mom-and-pop shop--one of those local gems that may not be the most well-known, but that's exactly what makes it special. The service was wonderful; they were quick to bring us water as soon as they noticed we were out. The spring roll was excellent--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with flavorful pork and shrimp. The signature pho was great and the grilled pork chop vermicelli was also a great dish! read more

We had pho in couple of places, decided to try another restaurant to see if the broth is different. Broth is little weaker compared to other places, however the meat itself and other dishes were good. We had the fried egg and chive pancake, it was delicious. Seafood pho was ok, the short rib pho was pretty good. Salt and pepper fried squid was better than the others. Staff was attentive and food came out quickly. I will definitely come back. We enjoy the meal today. Thai Iced Tea had good portions and was in a big cup. read more

Oh how I love the pancake here. Stuff with flavorful, pork and shrimp just the right amount of crispiness from the actual crêpe itself is so tasty. It's very hard to find a restaurant in New York City that does it well and this place does it well. Though the prices for the soup are higher than other Vietnamese restaurants in the city their stuff is pretty flavor. My only gripe is that there's very hard time to find parking here and it's kind of far out-of-the-way but I will come back just for this appetizer. read more

This is my usual spot if i needed some viet love in my life. Sadly this time around. The takeout wasn't so great. Got their house special Banh Mi sandwich which has all the fixins you need. I don't know who was in charge of the pate this time around but oh mahhh gawddd. That pate was bathe in a salt bath !? As appetizing as it looked. I couldn't even eat the sandwich. I ended up scraping the pate off and trying to go around but it was so salted that the bread was inedible. The pickled carrots was just sour. It was an epic fail. The Grilled Porkchop Sandwich was alright. They mentioned thick cuts...which in my definition wasn't. Flavor was there though. Cajun fries was good. Can't go wrong with that! read more

Very cute place with good service. Ordered the leek pancake, pork chop over rice and the lemongrass chicken. The entrees came out before the appetizer which is not a big deal and I found the grilled chicken a bit tough but tasty still.

We also ordered a Viet sandwich to go and will be back to add a review for that! read more

Small cute restaurant away from the busy Flushing area. Pho was good. Service was prompt.

We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in by the friendly staff! We were with a hungry toddler and they took our order immediately and the food was out within 10 minutes hot and fresh! I got the chicken pho with lemongrass . The bowl was huge! I could barely eat half of it. The flavors in this pho are incredible! So savory with explosive flavors and texture. The restaurant itself is cute. Small, casual and very clean. The wait staff is so friendly and personable. Def a gem in this neighborhood! read more

Overpriced pho with meager and flavorless meat - they even skimp on the sprouts (was given one tiny plate for 3 bowls of pho) Grilled pork in banh mi is reheated and dry. Left with a dry mouthfeel all too common with broth that's over-MSGed. Perhaps not that surprising considering the general quality of Viet food in NY, but disappointing as this place claims to be authentic Vietnamese. To make matters worse, our server (fat grumpy Asian guy w/ crew cut) was rude towards our table for no reason, while being noticeably nicer towards the non-Asian customers. Better off going to Elmhurst for Pho. read more

I would give the service a 5 and the food a 3.5. The waitress was very friendly and provided great service. Place was full but she still came by to check on us, refill the water. The summer roll here is bigger than other places. Pho is tasty and clean. Would give a 4 for both. The spring rolls were not that tasty, the filling just didn't have enough flavor. A 3 for the spring rolls. Place is clean, not big but turnover is quick. read more

Came for the first time on a Saturday afternoon and the place was basically full but we we were lucky we were only a party of 2 so we got seated quickly. I ordered the bun Bo hue and my bf got the signature pho with the banh mi for us to share. The BBH initially tasted strongly of shrimp paste which I was surprised about, that was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a heavier beef taste. Eventually once I added the lime, a ton of beansprouts, it was more subtle. I did wish the soup had more depth and it was also lacking some spice. The noodles were a good portion but I was hoping it had some of the beef balls and more meat overall. While there are trotters, it was only two small pieces. My bfs pho was very refreshing and maybe more of the tangy/sour side. I didn't try much of it but it seemed to be lacking meat compared to other viet pho places. The next thing was honestly the banh mi because of the pate, definitely would order that again. read more

Great service and cute decor. Spring rolls were not too greasy, crisp and flavorful. The pho was fragrant and had a clean savory broth. Summer rolls were sectioned for easier consumption, with interesting elements including mango within the roll and a robust thick peanut sauce. Banh mi's minced pork was a little on the saltier side, though the bread was toasted perfectly. 3% discount was assessed for paying with cash. A free Thai iced tea provided for a yelp review. read more

The is a small little Vietnamese restaurant off Northern Blvd. There are not a lot of tables but they try to put table together to accommodate a large group. They had a variety of noodle and rice dishes. sandwiches are good here too! Start with a spring or summer roll then a bowl of steaming pho with assorted meats. A #1! Suggestion - ask for the meat on the side if you do not want the meat over cooked. The servers were polite and quick to refill glasses. Food came out pretty fast too! Definitely worth coming back. read more
