Spicy Garlic Cauliflower
Jane B.

Visited Hanoi House on St. Mark's Place on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in June. During the summer, the stretch of St. Mark's between 1st Avenue and Avenue A is closed to vehicle traffic on Sundays, which gives many of the restaurants additional outdoor seating and creates a nice option for outdoor dining. A friend and I chose Hanoi House because they had outdoor seating available and a weekend happy hour. Happy hour runs from 3:00-5:30 p.m. on weekends and includes discounted cocktails ($11-$12.50), wine ($10), and several food items. Though during happy hour you are not able to order from the full menu. We started with the shrimp chips ($1.50), spicy garlic cauliflower ($14), a rosé, and a Hugo Spritz. The cauliflower was very good, a large portion with a flavorful combination of sweetness and spice. The Hugo Spritz was refreshing, though a bit sweeter than I prefer, made with a bit too much syrup. We were there past 5:30 p.m., and I ordered from the dinner menu. I had visited Hanoi House years ago and remembered the menu being larger. I ordered the lemongrass chicken wings ($19), which were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside without being dry and had a nice sweet-savory flavor. My friend ordered a second serving of the cauliflower and we each also had another drink. Including tax and tip, the bill came to about $60 per person. That is not inexpensive, although it included two drinks each and enough food for a substantial meal, even if not quite a full dinner portion. Overall, Hanoi House is a good summer option, especially if you can take advantage of the outdoor seating on St. Mark's. They are also well known for their pho, making it a good choice during colder months, and they serve brunch as well, though the menu appears very similar to their dinner offerings.

Happy hour was a good deal! $11 for the drink which was so yummy. Perfect amount of spice in the cocktail. The pho was amazing. Don't think I've ever had pho before but the two types of beef were great. Definitely add the chili oil and pickled garlic they give you!! Sat outside so can't stay too much about the ambiance but service was still great even with sitting outside.

This is the last papaya salad I will ever order. I want this to be my last memory of a papaya salad in life. The fried spring rolls just tasted fried to me so I'd skip that. The meat in the Pho was of top notch quality and the broth was completely different than Pho we've had before. This is an absolute must try for Pho connoisseurs. The staff was helpful, good bathroom ratio to seats in the restaurant, fast, basically we weren't bowled over with the delicious food which made our visit so fun. The windows were open, the sun was out, our waitress told us to visit the farmers market down the street... we did! It was a great day, thank you Hanoi House!

Went to try the chicken pho bone marrow and bun cha .. it was very good for a northern style bone marrow pho.. the bun cha was pretty good too but I prefer the chicken pho bone marrow... will definitely come back whenever I'm craving bone marrow pho!!

Very cute! Happy hour on Sat and Sun from 4-530pm Fast service! Var fits about 4 people total. Little tight space. the food smells delicious!

Bun Cha
Mark S.

they have a very solid bún chà, especially considering it can be somewhat hard to find in the city. The service was good too, and the atmosphere when sitting outside on a nice day was amazing. There is better Vietnamese food in the city, but it's still worth trying if you're craving authentic Vietnamese food.

I came here for dinner on a Tuesday evening with a friend. This place was pretty busy so definitely make a reservation! Ambiance was good! Service was great. The food was not bad! It was a chilly day so we both got the standard pho. Flavors were decent! Would consider coming back here in the future.

I enjoyed the bone marrow and the sauteed clams appetizers! However, the entrees including the house special pho and the bun cha/rice vermicelli was just okay. It's a bit dark in there and crammed in terms of sittings but cool to check out a popular Vietnamese spot!

Came by for dinner over the summer and it was easy to grab a table despite it being fairly busy on the weekend; maybe we just got lucky. The food was all solid! I'm a little picky about my vietnamese food and thought this was a solid choice for us. The sandwich was yummy, but the spring rolls were probably my favorite bite. The herbs were pretty fresh and it was a fresh, crisp fry on it. The greens were a great add on, especially to get some veggies in there. Shrimp chips are solid though I don't know if I would get them again just cause I know how little they cost to make having grown up eating it. The service was attentive and we sat outside but the inside was dim and had a nice vibe. It's lively, and it sits on a lively part of the heart of the East Village, so expect that. Check it out if you're wanting Vietnamese and in the area!

Jake Z.

As far as vietnamese restaurants go, this is a pass. No standout dishes. Even the standard dishes were poorly executed / bland / lacked seasoning and flavor. The best thing is probably the bone marrow since at least it's hard to mess that up. Service was at least quite good. Ambiance was small but nice.

Jenn C.

Food: I was excited to try this place after seeing photos on Yelp, but I was underwhelmed after actually trying the food. The pho broth wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. I chose the brisket, oxtail, and bone marrow and each one was just okay. The oxtail was shredded and overcooked. Overall, the pho wasn't enjoyable and I won't be returning here. We also tried the pig ear and spring roll appetizers which were equally underwhelming. Service: Service was average. It was hard to get someone's attention at times if we needed something. They also don't come check on you throughout the meal. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size and has two sides with outdoor seating also. Good for both small and large groups. Space is tight and tables are pretty close to each other. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. There is better pho in NYC for a better price.

On a cold winter day, Hanoi house presented itself to us. This was the most perfect pho I've had in my life. Perfect temp, soft meat, perfect portion. I felt like fucking Goldilocks hitting the jackpot. The ambiance is cozy and cute and 3 months later I am still thinking about this pho..

Brian L.

Everything in here tastes delicious. The worst part of dining here was the lack of AC, which I'm sure they couldn't help with. Summer roll with pork sausage was delicious. The wings were enormous which wasn't a good thing. The meatball vermicelli was good. Nothing to write home about. The clams underwhelming The pig eat salad was one of the best things The spring roll was crispy and delicious The house pho with that bone marrow was amazing. Our server was really cool and patient with us.

What is the parking like near the restaurant?

No one in her or his right mind would try to park in the East Village (uninformed opinion of a non-driver).

Do we need to reserve a table for dine-in?

No dine in when I was there 2 months ago, I believe dine-in is prohibited now (1/9/2021). If they take reservations for outdoor dining, best to get one.

What animal bone marrow is used for the broth? Is it possible to get pho here without pork?

I believe the bone marrow is from cow. The broth could be pork-free if they don't use pork bones and only beef bones. I would ask them.

Any vegetarian options?

I believe so - you can email them to me certain- Sara is very helpful

Could anybody advise me if Hanoi House serves authentic pho Hanoi? (i.e. without hoisin sauce, siracha, herbs, beef balls, sweetened broth). I'm from Hanoi and have been searching for true pho Hanoi in the US for 7 years...?

I was just in Hanoi two weeks ago and found it to be pretty close (if not a little bit saltier), but they didn't serve it with limes (in Hanoi pretty much every soup was served with mini limes).… 

Is it possible to get pho and other items without MSG (or MSG-type additives)?

You can't cook authentic Pho without MSG. All Pho has to have some of it, some cook with a lot more bone/bone marrow in the broth, but it still has some MSG.…

Popped into this new Vietnamese spot by Herald Square for a quick weekday lunch. The place is fresh…read moreand clean, with a modern self-serve setup where you order via iPad. I got the pho ($21.78), which is steep for pho, but I guess that's Midtown prices for you. The wait was a slog--over 20 minutes for a bowl of pho, which other Yelp reviews warned about. When it finally arrived, the soup lacked that authentic pho aroma, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the beef was fresh, and the reusable to-go bag was a nice touch. Decent, but the wait and price make it hard to love. Might try again if they speed things up.

Okay, so I came back after a couple weeks from my first visit and had the most perplexing…read moreexperience. I ordered "Plain Pho", which is described as just broth and noodles, no garnish or meat. After waiting 30 minutes, for what is literally the simplest item on the menu, the bowl is brought out and it's a bowl of broth with a couple slices of chicken. No noodles. When I inquired, the server told me it's because I ordered the Plain Pho... yea and I said it comes with noodles and broth. They told me they could get me noodles, but acted like they were doing me a favor by fetching noodles for me, which was quite offputting because the noodles were quite literally half of the dish I actually ordered. How does one wait half-an-hour at a very casual fast Vietnamese food place, for premade soup and noodles, and still have the order wrong? In the end, I did get my noodles and broth, but the fact that I had to spend this much time and also justify my request for noodles (which are part of the dish) is quite insane. I put this at 2 stars for now, because I enjoyed my first time. Hopefully the service will improve.

This is one of new favorite go to places for Vietnamese food. I think when considering both the…read morecost and the flavor, it is the best I have found. It is usually packed during meal times so expect a wait or choose to order take out to save on wait times. I personally love when the Bahn mi is stuffed with both the meat and veggies, it has the perfect ratio. Sometimes there's not enough filling and it feels like you are only eating bread, but at Nom Nam that is definitely not the case. The Pho was also pretty flavorful and it wasn't the best I have had but it was still really good given that I haven't found too many Pho places that I love in nyc. I definitely recommend adding Nom Nam to your lists of places to try!

I'm not in the area very often so this review is for first impressions…read more Naturally how I heard about this place is how any of us hear about anywhere now... TikTok. Do I agree it's "the best pho in nyc"? Hell no. Would I say it's a pretty damn solid pho? *bleep* yeah. I think it also helped that there was a surprising amount of Vietnamese people dining there. For perspective, we're a bit of a rare breed in nyc itself and much less in this pocket of Manhattan. Suffice it to say, it's a Viet restaurant worth going out of your way for. So-- here are the things I unexpectedly like about Nom Nam: * I love love love the diner homage. It's common for new restaurants to play it safe or create an environment of grandeur, that people are often adverse to have fun. This checkered multi-colored menu, neon sign having, is unapologetically fun. The sign on the wall "troi dat oi" is a passive aggressive phrase all Vietnamese moms say. I could do with a different name than "Nom Nam" but it is easy to remember. * The pho: SOLID! Can we take a minute and celebrate reliability without admonishing mediocrity? I like eating upscale obscured ingredients more than the next guy but I'd much prefer a consistent reliably good savory pho or a cold/hungover/sick night. * The Bo Luc Lac: look... or luc (hehe don't kill me-- my gf just sneered at me), the BLL did not have that desired wok hay seared outside but the meat-- tender, the sauce-- immaculate, my stomach-- happy. Honestly I'd buy that sauce alone. Things I didn't like (or care for really): * The cocktail: I like a place with a dedicated cocktail list bespoke to them but they played it safe here. There was one item that could be considered the most Vietnamese but it came off generic. I mean it's a good cocktail but lacks that special flair the rest of the restaurant is doing great at. * The wings: the wings were good. In fact, they tasted exactly how my mom makes them and she's considered the best cook out of 7 siblings. That being said, 4 wings? I know, you probably don't wanna do that either; I blame the economy... and a certain party making the economy worse as we speak. * The pho descriptions on the menu: as a Viet, I even had a hard time discerning what makes each one distinct. I feel like ai would be a good use case here to help Things I'll be coming back for: * Them Banh Mis * The coffees * The homemade limeade & salted plum I appreciate the waitress admitting the limeade was really sweet, so I'll go on a day where I had a good gym sesh or something

So when my family stumbled into Pho 39, a tiny spot with just a handful of tables tucked away from the chaos outside, it felt less like finding a restaurant and more like discovering a Rebel outpost that somehow survived undetected in the middle of Imperial territory. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a solid Vietnamese spot: pho, combination rice plates, the usual lineup. We were ready to order and move on with our lives. Then we saw the tacos. Vietnamese tacos. On the menu. Sitting right there between the banh mi and the spring rolls like they'd always belonged. Nobody in my family said anything for a full three seconds, which for us is basically a standing ovation. We ordered the duck spring rolls to start, which were fresh, well packed, and disappeared faster than a starfighter in hyperspace. For the mains we went with the beef flank pho and the banh mi combination special. The pho had a clean, well developed broth that clearly had some time put into it, and the beef flank was tender enough to make you slow down and pay attention. The banh mi combo was solid, balanced, and hit all the right notes. We did not get the tacos this visit, which means we have a built in reason to return and nobody can argue with that logic. For a small room in the middle of one of the busiest cities on the planet, Pho 39 manages to feel genuinely calm and focused. Good food, good value, and a menu with enough surprises to keep things interesting. The Force is strong with this little spot.

I sat down for pho. You get a lot of noodles but that doesn't make it worth it.
