Just ordered a bahn mi and pho to go and it turned out well. Sandwich was stuffed and soup was full Quick and easy service
The pho was amazing, I got the district pho which had bone marrow in it. The bone marrow was so fatty and delicious it really added flavor to the dish! The bathrooms were clean and the vibe of the place was really nicely decorated as well with the lamps and lights. The pho was flavorful and the soup was nicely clean! i'd give it a 8/10!
The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is a nice, dim, sleek feel. The service, incredible. Very attentive wait staff. The music played is soft and smooth. Jazzy esque tunes with some Sade mixed in. Excellent vibe. Everything is so delicious. Most recent visit, I dined in for a solo lunch. I ordered two apps. The lemongrass chili oil steamed dumplings and the Fried Brussel sprouts. Both were incredible. The dumplings were steamed (you can also order fried) with Napa cabbage, chicken and herbs. The addition of the chili oil offers such elevation. Gingery, chili, crispy goodness. Highly recommend. A small app for two, a nice portion for one. The Crispy brussel sprouts are deep fried with butter, garlic and sweet chili sauce topped with peanut crunch. One bite and my salivary glands went to heaven. The sweetness compliments the sprouts beautifully. Highly highly recommend. Upon finishing the dumplings, I added the sprouts to the chili oil and again, the flavors were unbelievable. I honestly didn't want it to end. I'll be back soon! A perfect lunch and I was left feeling quite full.
Location: 3715 Broadway, Astoria NY 11103. Ambiance: few seating options. Clean and spacious l. Service: above normal and very accommodating. Food: This noodle bowl presents a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. The round steak and Angus brisket are tender. The beef broth is the highlight--deeply savory, with a clean finish. Rice noodles provide a soft, neutral base that carries the broth well, while the garnish of cilantro, scallion, and onion adds freshness, brightness and crunch. Overall, it is a thoughtfully composed dish that delivers both comfort and refinement. Im excited to reorder come winter season.
The egg rolls didn't have enough filling in my opinion. If it had more, it would be a solid egg roll. I got the meatball pho and my friend got the bun bo hue. The bun bo hue was missing shrimp paste so we asked for that and it fixed the problem. However, my pho was pretty bland and adding shrimp paste didn't get time the flavors I wanted. I ended up leaving a lot of the broth and noodles behind. I think if they figure out how to make the flavors bolder, this would be a solid choice compared to other NYC phos.
Came in for drinks and apps. Chill vibe, very cute decor. Service was slow and drink was meh.
I came here for lunch with friends on a Sunday afternoon and it was delicious. Located in Astoria, this spot offers authentic Viet food and a great ambiance. Casual, and with great service, it's the perfect spot to go to with friends. I got a bowl of their steak & brisket pho (and I added in meatballs) as well as their taro fries & chicken wings and edamame to share for appetizers. The appetizers were great snacks, and the pho really hit the spot. Portions were good and they were so generous with their meats in the pho. Great spot for Viet food and I would definitely come back to try some of their other items.
Came back here for drinks. Missed HH (5-7pm) but that's okay. Pinebender: it's a sour, but not as cloyingly sweet because of the thyme. I liked this since I was in a mood for a sweeter cocktail. Yellow jeans: this was the bartenders menu favorite, but I thought it tasted like a watered down pineapple juice drink. Lychee beer: this was a hit! If you like the German grapefruit beer, you'd like this. Lucky buddha: a solid beer, crisp and medium-bodied. Didn't really taste citrus notes or any different from a good beer.
Came here for dinner with some friends. Servers were very attentive and pleasant. I ordered the number 22 district pho, and my friends ordered the chicken pho district pho, and Fried chicken wings with taro fries. The district pho came out with the meat still slightly raw (authentic, cook rest in broth) so you know they know what theyre doing. They had a nice broth and it was served with some meatballs and bone marrow. Very worth it for $22. I highly recommend. The taro fries were also very good. Nothing was soggy or burnt, just right and a good flavor too, similar to Terra's taro chips. Overall, I would definitely back here if I'm in the area craving pho.
I dined here with friends, mainly because they have good vegetarian options (vegetarian pho!) for a friend. Great food; my boyfriend loved the shaking beef that is served on a cast iron skillet. My bun bo hue was good too but quite salty/salty taste lingering on my tongue for a while after. Apps were good but on the pricey side for the small portions, but entrees were big portions!
We were in the area and craving pho, so a quick Yelp search and a phone call to confirm that they had high chairs for toddlers brought us to District Saigon. We were seated and provided a high chair tight away. They also provided a fork, spoon, bowl and plate for the baby to use, which were the plastic (but the take out kind of cutlery); I appreciated that. The ambiance borders trendy, but still homey. I saw that they had an extensive cocktail list that I'd like to come back and try. On this though, I had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was very good - strong and sweet (but not overly so). A had the Thai iced tea and the lychee soda; also very good. We started off with the Vietnamese crepe. It is served with lettuce, mint, basil, cucumbers and pickled carrot with a side of fish sauce, and it was delicious. It's a big appetizer, so definitely shareable. I had the round steak and angus brisket pho. There was almost too much meat in it, in the best way possible. A ordered the District Pho, which comes with brisket, meatballs and a piece of bone marrow. The broth is light, but flavorful, a little oily but not in a bad way. A said that the broth tastes cleaner than other pho spots that we've been to. All in all, a great spot for a good Viet meal. Hopefully, will be able to come back soon to try the cocktails, which sounds good from their descriptions.
Best Vietnamese I Ever Had! Laughing because it's the first time I tried Vietnamese cuisine - not sure how I missed this. The atmosphere is just gorgeous, simple and very Zen. I was comfortable immediately and the friendly staff is quite professional. My water glass never went below half-way, a dropped napkin was replaced in seconds. The food is amazing - so delicious, well-seasoned and a range of dishes all new to me. Of course, I wanted to try the pho but it was a hot summer day and didn't want soup, but they offer a wok tossed pho which was so good. The menu has interesting selections and the variety will please all palates.
Came in on a cold night earlier this week. Perfect temperature to have some warm pho. We tried the district pho, chicken wings + taro fries, vietnamese coffee as well as the chicken pho (latter 2 not pictured). The district pho was delicious. The bone marrow added an level of creaminess that was very welcoming. The taro chips were addictive! We could not stop eating them. The chicken wings were okay, crispy which I appreciated but a tad bit salty for my liking. I did not have the chicken pho or vietnamese coffee but heard positive reviews from others. The restaurant itself was cute. There is a mural on the wall and decorations. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and we had a nice time overall.

A decent (and relatively more upscale) Vietnamese place in Astoria Great for date night Excellent service Food: - chicken wings with taro fries: pleasantly surprised by the portion, taste, and value, a must-order - vegan pho: I'm not vegan but it's one of the healthier options on the menu, broth is sweeter than beef broth b/c it's derived from vegetables; lots of healthy toppings including kale, broccoli, carrot, tofu - meatball pho & thai iced tea= average, nothing special Would I come again? Yes for the service & atmosphere. Notice the pictures that adorn the wall in the restaurant...they're snapshots of the streets/food markets in Vietnam! read more

Passed by District Saigon sooo many times but never went in. Was craving for noodles on a rainy weekend and decided to give it a try. Didn't know the indoor design was so beautiful. We ordered the regular beef pho and it was $16-17 each which was a bit pricy in Queens. Ordered the hot viet coffee which was amazing because you can ask for less condensed milk/less sweet but you can't ask for less sugar for iced drink. Will come back again to try other dishes:) read more

When we want to get Pho or Vietnamese, we always come here - and for good reason. Their pho definitely has the flavor and depth that we're looking for, plus the noodles are the right kinda chew and the selection is great. We always enjoy the spring rolls, and the sandwiches are always good too. The overall atmosphere is nice, and a great place to take friends or a date. read more

Amazing!!! I got the District Pho because it had all of my fav meats - rare round steak, meatballs, bone marrow and I added on oxtail to try it out. Once the round steak cooked in the soup it became very soft and tender meatballs were bouncy and flavorful and bigger than most pho restaurants I've tried. The oxtail is also amazing and really soft and tender. They are also very generous with the meat!! I got at least four pieces of oxtail. There were at least three meatballs cut into half so six pieces of meatballs. Overall great and generous portions! The soup is super rich and flavourful, definitely the best place I have tried in the Astoria/Long Island city area. read more
Looking for a quick bite that wasn't bar food and found it! Fried rice hit the spot--specifically the veggie one. Can totally taste the egg and spice in it; and then scallions and broccoli to top it. And a good thanks to Yuthana for keeping my water filled right on time! read more

Food is really good! Service was good.. ambiance is low key stylish and simple. Was there for lunch it was lovely I will be back! read more
The door of the restaurant is a little hidden since it blends in with the rest of the wall. I passed by it and had to double back. The restaurant has a very nice intimate atmosphere and a bar. I didn't eat in but I love the decor. It's a good place for a date. I had Obama's bún cha, which is a Vietnamese vermicelli noodle salad dish with grilled pork. It's very good and filling. They are generous with the meat, two pork spring rolls and two pork patties! I love búns, as they are light and healthy tasting. This place doesn't skimp by giving you more noodles than toppings unlike some restaurants. read more
Great spot for pho. Came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon for a late lunch and got seated right away. To start off, my friend and I split the Crispy Spring Rolls. Delicious! For myself, I ordered the Wood & Herbed Smoked Brisket Pho which was great. The broth had an interesting smoky quality to it, which I've never had before. Great spot to checkout! read more
Must try: District Pho with an Iced Vietnamese Coffee! Why: The large bowl of Pho hit the spot on this cold day. The broth was on point: clean and flavorful. Yes, I sipped the soup all the way to the bottom! The meat was plentiful with round steak and meatballs. The bone marrow in the middle is a nice touch visually but also added some great flavor, which I saved for the end. Notes: On the pricy side but I thought it was worth it. Definitely not your traditional Vietnamese restaurant but it felt like a craft kitchen that was chic (not snobby) and inviting. The decor was modern and the bathrooms were clean. The service was also amazing - very friendly and attentive workers. It's a place I would take a date but also a group of family and friends. read more
I came to visit my friend in Astoria and i havent been here in a very long time!!! He tols me about it and it we all ordered pho and of course the chicken wings and taro fries to share. The taro fries were the highlight of the meal. It was tooo SLAMMIN and crispy and the inside was almost sort of soft with the honey glaze on there was like YIKES! The wings were really good, crispy skin with juicy insides! read more

Nice spot in Queens. More upper scale Vietnamese than my preferred dungy Pho joint. The bone marrow Pho has good broth which is the most important part of Pho. The bone marrow was meh.... And the meatballs were just ok. Banh Mi sandwich was standard, nothing special. read more

I thought the food was very good there chili dumplings were piping hot and that chili sauce was so darn delicious . There were 5 for $8 We ordered two entrees the pork belly and the cubed steak both were way better than anticipated. Pork belly was savory and not greasy at all. It had a gravy with pork meat so good. The rice was kinda dry but Asians cook rice hard unlike Puerto Ricans: we prefer a salted med grain rice. What I did not like is the bs waitress. When I asked for a mixed drink. They claimed they only can made the drinks on the menu. I wanted a Malibu and pineapple but no go. I said run and coke and she looked very . Why have a bartender if you can't use him. Leaving money on the table just stupid. Also once our table was deemed. No one came back to check on us we could have used an extra plate to eat but that would be considerate. We will leave it at that read more
My girlfriend and I love pho and have seen this place all over tik tok. It's located in Astoria Queens and many people say their pho is amazing! Upon entering it's a beautiful well-decorated establishment. The walls have nice original hand-painted designs which gives the restaurant a nice cozy vibe. I loved that they had a high chair and plastic bowls and plates for my 2-year-old daughter. The waiter was friendly & informative on the menu. We started with Thai Ice tea, lemon grass chili oil dumplings, and nonglazed taro fries with spicy Mayo. The Thai iced tea was great however we weren't a fan of the dumpling. Even when dipped in the chili sauce I could only taste the lemon grass. Taro fries were delicious and crispy. I ordered the district pho which had round steak, bone marrow, meatballs, and beef broth garnished with cilantro and red onion. It was amazing! The broth was flavorful however would of liked it spicy. My girlfriend got the vegan pho broth with chicken as she does not eat beef. Although I didn't try it she said it was the best vegan pho broth she has ever had! However chicken was a little rubbery. For dessert, we got the mango black rice pudding rice and it was okay. It wasn't sweet enough and just tasted like plain rice which we were not a fan of! Overall we loved this place and it's definitely worth checking out! read more
A fantastic meal. Every dish was authentic, perfectly marinated and seasoned, fresh ingredients, and good size portions. The broth was clear and packed with flavor as it should be. Great to see another top notch Vietnamese restaurant in NYC. read more
The food here really is delicious. The only thing I'd complain about is the price. A tad bit expensive for my blood. But everything was flavorful and hearty. I think that was the first time I finished my bowl of pho. Usually it's so big that I can't finish. I'll be back to try more dishes. read more

Such a great place! It's beautiful inside especially the mural they have on the wall. Couldn't take a pic because someone was sitting there. We started off with the chicken wings and taro fries. The wings and fries were super crispy, however, I feel like the fries could have been more fresh. The wings have a sweet and salty type of sauce made from fish sauce and other ingredients. Super delicious. We had the district pho which came with a lot of meat and veggies, definitely shareable. The Vietnamese pork belly was so tender, melt in your mouth goodness. It reminded me of the Filipino dish pork adobo but without the sourness of the vinegar. The Thai iced tea was perfectly made. Not too sweet, extra milky. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes. read more
I've been to District Saigon a few times now, and it's a very consistent experience. I ordered the round steak and brisket pho, and it came with all the typical toppings/sauces. The portion size was big, with enough that I had takeaway for another meal. There also was a generous serving size of both meats included. I also ordered a Thai iced tea to drink. It was the perfect ombré color when it was served, and it tasted amazing (not too sweet)! The service here is always really good too. We were seated really quickly, and they were attentive about when we were ready to order. The food was cooked pretty fast as well, and they were easy to track down if we needed something. Overall, this is a great spot for reliably delicious food, attentive service, and the option to make it a quick meal if you need. Recommend making a stop by! read more

Me n my bestie went here for a quick lunch date. We ordered the lychee lime martini, which was so good I love lychee! It wasn't too strong but u could taste the alcohol. I ordered the meatless Vietnamese crepe and my bestie ordered the tofu satay. I loved that I could make lettuce wraps out of my crepe and the sauce was a great touch! my bestie also loved their meal & highly approved of the sauce! Huge shoutout to our waitresses who kept checking on us & refilling our water! We appreciate it very much! We both also loved the R&B music that was playing, it really set the scene. Overall, we spent about $50, $25 for each of us & enjoyed our time! Thank you for the lunch guys! Keep up the great work! - also they do ask for proof of vaccination so be sure to have that handy! read more

I've been coming here since they opened. Every single time, it's with a new group of friends for brunch or dinner and it's always a hit. It's a great spot for any occasion, whether it's brunch, a birthday for small or large groups, family dinner, & it's also got the perfect ambience for date night. The space is big enough to be socially distanced from other diners. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The menu selection is perfect for whatever mood I'm in. They have a delicious appetizer selection as well for sharebles. I've had almost everything on the menu here before and there isn't anything I wouldn't recommend. Always hits the spot. 5 stars for all around food, service, atmosphere, and cocktail selection. Will be back again & hope they stick around for years to come because there aren't many Vietnamese restaurants in this neighborhood. read more

I've been coming to this place since it opened. Best pho in NYC IMO. The menu changes seasonally, though on our recent visit, I did miss a past menu item. But alas, the pork belly dish I got instead was fantastic as I knew it would be. What I'm really writing for, is to say thank you for graciously hosting my get together for a party of 15, on a Sunday for brunch. I called a few weeks prior, they held the spot (didn't even ask for a CC) that I requested, and we had a marvelous time, because of it. If you are in need of an sophisticated venue that includes really good food - look no further! read more

Review is only for their Round Steak & Angus Beef Pho ($13) -- tripe and meatball are extras and cost $2.50 per serving Interior: Trendy, modern, clean, very spacious making it good for groups Service: Efficient and friendly Price: Pricey for basic Pho in my opinion - they do have a loaded bone marrow pho for $18 Broth taste: Smokey, which threw me off a lot. I noticed inconsistencies between the broths because the smoke taste level varied from bowl to bowl; my friends and I all ordered the same thing. Noodles: good bite and a lot was given - this is the filler item Meat: smokey and charred on the edges - different and unexpected Drink recommendation: Thai ice tea ($3.5) - it's not overly sweet but the glass size is small Good place to try, but personally I wouldn't come back again read more

This is one of my go-to takeout spots for pho or bun bo hue. The broth is flavorful and they give a good portion considering it's takeout. Probably a staple Vietnamese restaurant in queens. read more

This is my go to Pho spot in Astoria, the food never disappoints here. The service here is great and the food comes flying out of the kitchen. When it comes to the ambiance, it's a cool place to get a quick meal by yourself or grab a bite with friends. read more

Perfect example of a very good Vietnamese restaurant. Spring rolls, was on point. So was the sauce. The district pho, come with all the beef, brisket, beef balls, and also a bone marrow. Broth was very flavorful. The decor is very nice. With a bar up front. Only only thing that I wish was they had a bigger lunch selection. Will definitely recommend and will come back again. read more
