Came here around 4:30 PM on a Sunday and it was nice and empty. I sat outside and ordered the Thai bubble tea without bubbles, the beef bahn mi and a dessert with fried dough, vanilla ice cream, and Vietnamese coffee. The Thai iced tea was sweet, a little bit too sweet for me but still good. I like it sweet. The bahn mi was a bit empty. It could've been filled with more beef and pickled vegetables. I also thought it was supposed to come with mayo but I did not taste any. The dessert was lacking a bit of flavor. The fried dough was not as good. It was ok but i wouldn't return. Not sure there's another viet place in LIC. But this place is decent enough. read more

Vietnamese Restaurant where my favorite is the beef pho soup because you feel rejuvenated when you're done and it's perfect to take to someone with a cold !! Of course they have an extensive menu with many delicious choices. Spring rolls, fried pork, Banh Mi sandwiches are really good, Tilapia or Grilled pork Sandwiches, many noodle salad choices too! They have dinner choices so it's best to just go there ! You will find something delicious ! I can only list the many options we have tried lol street parking read more

Cyclo takeout in Long Island City was flavorful and hearty. Service: Ordered through Uber Eats - well packaged for transport. Food: The beef pho was heartier, more flavorful, and included more meat than Chef Papa nearby, but they skimped on the bean sprouts and didn't include Thai basil, which is out of the norm for pho (in my experience). read more

Cyclo - Pho Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Island City, New York

I was pleasantly surprised by this adorable Vietnamese spot in Hunter's point! The interior of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, and their staff is quick and polite. Their menu has a good variety of pho, banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and also clay pot dishes. I got the banh mi when I went and my friend got their pho. Their classic banh mi was delicious and a good portion. It came with plenty of meat and it was dripping with juices. The bread was also so warm and crispy on the outside. The pho was also good, and a solid portion but I wish it came with a variety of other meat toppings besides sliced brisket. Otherwise, it wasn't bad. Overall, a pretty solid Viet spot and I would come back! read more

Cyclo - Banh mi and pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Very casual spit for average Vietnamese food. We started with the shrimp summer rolls and pork fried spring rolls. The summer rolls were tiny and not super well put together (stuff fell apart as you bit into it) but otherwise fine. The pork fried spring rolls also felt a little small but tasted fine. As for the beef pho, that was also standard - tasted fine though I wish the beef were more tender (it felt a little overcooked to me but just a tad). We came in on a Sunday night around 5pm and it was mostly empty. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Been here several times for the viet coffee alone. The pho and the spring rolls are solid choice for a cold blistering winter day or if you want some comfy soupy noodles. Price is great and service too. No complaints here! read more

Pretty standard Vietnamese food for the neighborhood. We dropped in for a pho and banh mi on a whim. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, the servers are pleasant, and the food hit the spot. Pho - broth was good! Beef cuts were average. Banh Mi - a hefty sandwich with solid bread, meats, pickled daikon and cabbage. Sauces tableside. read more

Ive been here a couple times and they definitely have gotten better. They use nontraditional ingredients in their pho which throws me off but the taste is almost what I'm looking for. If I'm desperate for some pho I might consider it. Half of why I like it is the view from the outdoor seating. read more

Amazing and authentic food, ton of flavor and huge portion. Really nice staff and the happy hour deals are everyday. I would go just for cheap drinks alone! Ambiance is clean. read more

Recently got into Vietnamese food and Cyclo does not disappoint. Last time got the banh mi sandwich, egg rolls, and fruity iced teas...good stuff. Finished with Vietnamese coffee, OMG!.

Yummy! It's been so cold so I was in need of some good Pho so my friend suggested this spot. We came for lunch, love a lunch menu, and ordered Chicken Pho. The broth was insanely tasty, would love a gallon of just the broth please. Roasted chicken was a plenty in this. Much more then I expected. A little lite on the bean sprouts & scallions, especially since asking for more would result you in a $2 charge. Very cute little spot, we came at 12:25 on a Monday and the place was basically full by the time we left. read more

Came to eat alone and the service was impeccable! I enjoyed the beef broth pho and ginger honey tea and both came out very quickly. The interior is much larger than it looks from the outside and very inviting. The soup was flavorful alone and not too oily. read more

The service is bad. I watched a metal rod come tumbling down and hit a customer and the restaurant got silent. The servers let the man just sit there in disbelief and came by a minute later and grabbed it and didn't say a word when he mentioned it. Also had a server yell at us for sitting outside with my friends dog and letting him drink out of a glass when we asked for a cup multiple times (which I can understand, but yelling at fully grown adults is a bit excessive for something that goes in the dishwasher). As far as food goes, it's good and tastes fresh. I mostly just do pick up at this point and it's never been a problem. I have eaten in a few times and liked the ambiance. The servers are just a little hover-ish and quiet. Weird vibe all around. But maybe I'm just biased at this point. read more

A little off the beaten path, Cyclo is situated like a modest one story house that was turned into a restaurant. While there are better options for more flavorful food, the prices are reasonable and the service is good. A few friends and I came for lunch. Service was quick and they provided a complimentary salad with our meal. The salad was doused with an overly sweet vinaigrette that took my partner and I by surprise, but it wasn't a big enough salad for it to be off putting. The main dishes were better with my beef pho having a good portion of protein and my friends and partner enjoying their rice dishes. While my beef pho was good, the broth was pretty bland compared to other pho I had in the city. The ambiance is casual and rustic with wooden chairs, tables, and chopsticks. The staff were friendly and checked in on us from time to time. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. Overall, there was nothing to complain about aside from the food. If you're not from LIC, it's hard to justify making the trek for the food. But if you're visiting a friend and really need a bowl of pho or fried rice, Cyclo is not a terrible option. read more

Im happy they r re opened. My favorite consistent Spot in LiC . Spinach dumplings, vegetable pho, Bah mi sandwich . All delicious! read more

[Takeout] Can't say anything about the atmosphere or service, but the pork banh mi was very solid, a great option for corporate dinner. Super flavorful and the bread was soft enough but still crunchy so my mouth didn't hurt when I bit into it. Generous amounts of pork, along with crunchy vegetable, created the perfect bite. read more

Good banh mis. I would recommend the traditional banh mi, which had a lot more flavor across the different types of meat. The tofu banh mi was a little dry and bland. Interior is cute and worth dining in! A couple blocks from the waterfront. read more

Cyclo - Tofu Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Cyclo is known as the local Vietnamese spot around LIC and truthfully, me and bf have only visited twice. The first time left us rather unsatisfied so we decided to give them a second chance. We get Vietnamese food every other week because I absolutely love the cuisine and bf is actually Vietnamese himself, at this point we would consider ourselves Viet-food-connoisseurs. Unfortunately, even after our second visit to Cyclo, they still under-delivered so it's time for a yelp review. We ordered the crispy spring rolls (cha gio), beef pho with the additional 3 meatballs for $4, bo luc lac, and a thai bubble tea. Service was okay, we had our waters refilled multiple times and the waitstaff seemed very nice. Until we started ordering. We started with thai bubble tea and crispy spring rolls (cha gio), of which the drink was fine, but one of the spring rolls were raw on the inside. We brought it to our waitress' attention and she quickly brought them back to the kitchen to get us a new order. Our entrees came soon after and they were very disappointing. See below for the food reviews. Near the end of our meal, a waitress propped opened the front door and I asked our waitress if she could close it (it was 55 degrees out and the door was less than 6ft away from our table). She told us that we would need to wait 10 minutes before she closed the door, which I found to be a bit distasteful. Especially when they had a backdoor that was not being used, the backdoor was also not in close proximity to any customers dining. Me and bf had decided that maybe she was being a bit harsh because of the raw spring roll fiasco. Ultimately, I would recommend that you go to other Vietnamese restaurants around Queens/Brooklyn/Manhattan if you're looking for good quality food and service. Food reviews: Thai bubble tea - 7/10: very sweet and the tapioca was rather small(?) they had a good texture though and the tea had a good flavor. Spring rolls - 1/10: the first order we got was raw (pink, cold pork inside) and they were kind enough to make us a new order. The next order was cooked, but the meat was sour and pasty. Definitely would not recommend Bo luc lac - 4/10: the beef was tender and soft, but way too salty and was swimming in a pool of sauce. Even after wiping the sauce off, the meat was still exceptionally salty. We didn't finish our order Beef pho - 3/10: the broth was exceptionally lacking. There was bok choy in it for some reason(??) I paid $4 for 3 meatballs which is honestly mindblowing after the fact. We get pho twice a month and this is by far the most disappointing bowl of pho I've ever had. read more

Food: Broth was okay. I eat a LOT of pho - from California so bit of a pho snob. It was good. Had flavor. Just didn't have the kick. It wasn't bad. Bowl also had so many noodles that soaked up my broth. Spring rolls were really good. Banh Mi was really good. Good bread. Service: Service was great. Attentive. Water refills. Ambiance: Nice chill atmosphere, good for a quick lunch. Good came out quick. read more

I always like looking for more Vietnamese or Thai spots in my area and happened upon this one by chance. While preparing to meet a friend in LIC, I saw this place looked like it had potential. My friend was looking to have something that was a bit lighter and potentially healthier. We opted to share the papaya salad for the appetizer and I got the special they offered that day, spicy stir fried shrimp with noodles. She ordered their vermicelli noodles (dry) with chicken wings. We were both pretty hungry and dug into our meals. Unfortunately when the food first came out they got her order wrong (they brought out the banh mi version) but they quickly took it back once we explained the mixup situation. The restaurant was pretty busy that day and service was inconsistent. They had more time to be attentive in the beginning and then took longer as the evening went on but that was understandable. Overall, we enjoyed our food. The papaya salad was lighter just as we had hoped. The shrimp in my noodles were cooked well and my noodles had a good kick without being too much. I liked the basil as well. The menu was quite extensive and had other items that I'd certainly be curious to try out! read more

Price is quite steep. $9 for three small egg rolls, though the flavors and texture were good, $9 for them hurts my viet soul. Their classic banh mi is actually not bad, it is the only Vietnamese restaurant locally so it does the job to satisfy one's craving. (4.5/5) Beef pho: the proportion was so off. After a few bites, the bowl was left with barely any broth left with much noodles and little meat (see image). Though the rare beef was quite tender compared to most pho spots. The few (picked) leaves of Thai basil served lasted me like 2 bites and the questionable bok choy in the bowl?? Why read more

Love this neighborhood joint right off of Vernon Blvd. Highlights include: - Beef pho (can also get short ribs in it), broth is super flavorful and aromatic, great portions - Pork Vermicelli comes with big portions, love the tangy citrus sauce that covers the vermicelli - Summer rolls are great, very light appetizer so you won't feel heavy Great service and prices for the area. read more

I came here after playing spike ball at a park nearby per my brother's recommendation. We got seated at around 1 pm on a Saturday and there were a few tables still available for seating. I ordered a classic banh mi and my husband ordered pho. While the portions are on the larger side, the menu is overall a little more expensive than other casual Vietnamese places that I've tried in the city. And honestly, I was hoping for some pate in my classic banh mi but didn't taste any--not sure if there was some but just very little? My husband wasn't particularly impressed with his pho either. While the food was only mediocre for me, I think what was awkward was that for our table of 4, they offered to do the checks separately, but somehow ended up charging the bill on only two credit cards and it took at least another 25 minutes to sort out (after we had paid) even though we were trying to clearly articulate what the error was. It ended up that one person in our party was charged a total of 3 times and then had to have 2 of those transactions canceled. read more

We came here at the suggestion of a fellow foodie we met at a coffee shop earlier in the day and are glad we listened to him! Cyclo had a solid crowd but we were able to be seated quickly on a Saturday afternoon. The interior/exterior isn't anything fancy, but this spot is all about delicious Vietnamese food. We both went with the vermicelli salads. I topped mine with BBQ pork and the fried spring roll add on. This thing was PACKED with tons of ingredients and flavors and we both ate every last bite. Really solid meal. Server was very friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the low key energy and focus on flavors at this spot. Worth a visit if you're in the area and are looking for something solid. read more

Really OK pho. It's the only pho spot within 10 minutes, so it does the job and satisfies a pho craving, but I think the pho is just average. The broth is on the lighter side, whereas I like a bit more depth. The spot is cute and people are really nice. Again, because there aren't many other pho options in the area I do find myself coming back from time to time. I liked their summer rolls a lot! And vietnamese food is obviously a great choice for those who are gluten free. No other comments on the place except to not have too high expectations! read more

Tiny spot in Long Island city. Was around the neighborhood and wanted to try another Pho spot other than District Saigon. Reviews looked pretty good so we tried it out. The seating is small and tight. Table of 4 was squished and I couldn't really eat without constantly bumping into the wall or my son next to me. Also, small table so things were dropping all over the place. That said, the service was excellent. The staff was very attentive although I don't quite like the need to clean up the table before we were done but I get it.... A small spot needs the turnover however it wasn't at full capacity. On to the food.... First of all, the entire staff is Thai and the food tasted more Thai flavors than Vietnamese flavors. The food was not bad. It was actually decent however, I craved Pho and needed that fix. I enjoyed their Thai flavored Pho but it wasn't what I signed up for. The vermicelli was better but the chicken was a little over cooked and dry. read more

Stopped by after shopping at Costco since there was no good option of free samples. Menu is designed nicely but the food is alright/good. Although the Vietnamese coffee was on point. Not too sweet and not watered down. They need to give it in a bigger cup with less ice. Deceiving to see a tall skinny glass with massive amount of ice. The spring rolls was quite sad - seems to be refried and the length of a finger and width of two fingers. Smallest and skinniest spring roll I've ever seen. They only give 3 in the order for 9 bucks!! The beef pho has an alright broth. You can taste a bit of the beefyness from the oxtail bones. Get some salt in it! A bit much on noodles for me but others might not complain. The bahn mi felt like it was missing something- the pate? Didn't taste nor see it. The bread was light and toasted. Seems more of bread than filling. read more

Very very solid 4. I'd give it a 4.5 to be honest. Went on a rainy, treacherous day and it hit the SPOT. So hefty and everything I needed out of a pho bowl was there. They also have homemade hoisin sauce that was really good! I also tried the Banh Mi, it was so so good! The crispy bread and soft textures inside complimented each other so well. Good portions. Great service and interior was nice and spacious, and a friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, the pho was a major letdown. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled being from Seattle, where great pho is easy to find--but the broth here was lukewarm when it arrived, and oddly, even colder when they brought it back after I sent it back. I only had a couple bites before deciding it just wasn't enjoyable. When I let them know, they promptly took it away--then brought me the $17 bill without a word. The service felt cold and dismissive, which only added to the disappointing experience. read more

A cute little restaurant with enough tables to go around. I've never had to wait for a table, and the service is polite and speedy (it might be a nice spot for a first date). The pho is clean and flavorful, not too salty or oily. This restaurant is a good bet for decent Vietnamese food -- it's reliable, it's quick, it's got good vibes. What more could you want from a neighborhood joint? read more

This is a solid and cozy Vietnamese place that has an outdoor dining area too. Their prices are slightly higher than similar places in Queens because they are in Long Island City. The best bet is to get the pho here. The bowl was very big with a very flavorful broth and a generous amount of soup and noodles. Service was good, with a friendly waitstaff. We also had a grilled pork with vermicelli dish, but that was not as good. The pork was not the typical grilled pork you find in Vietnamese restaurants. Instead, it was a dry pork sausage that was not very good. If you stick to the pho, you should be okay here. read more
