This place has the best egg rolls and beef noodle soup (bun Bo hue). Clean atmosphere and amazing staff. I highly recommend them.

We walked in party of 2 around 5:00pm on a Sunday; no wait. We ordered food at 5:05 got our appetizers at 5:10, entree at 5:20. Every item super delicious and worth the time looking for this gem. We are veggie lovers and found each veggie cooked to die for. Our service was good. Proper refills etc. Wish we had this location uptown. read more

Pretty good pho!!! The crispy spring rolls are really good as well!!! Very clean and large space. I was craving pho but didnt want to go all the way down to chinatown. This place is close to the train station! read more

A little hole in the wall spot for Vietnamese cuisine right near Washington Square Park. This place has quick working staff and the food comes out in great timing. Hard to find good quality pho in the city, and here does not disappoint. Their pho broth has that authentic Vietnamese flavor where nothing needs to be added. A little on the pricey side depending on what kind of additives you prefer, but that's expected of New York City. Overall 4.5/5 on the pho and overall experience here. Definitely one of my favorite places to get Vietnamese cuisine in the city. read more

Perfect comfy Vietnamese food during fall which is very hard to come by in nyc. Great location (15 min delivery) and the menu is a hit. I've yet to order anything bad. Support local eats when you can. I love Vietnamese food especially their soups, and prefer it over to traditional Chinese or Korean soups during winter. read more

Ordered delivery from here because I was craving a big bowl of pho and it did not disappoint! Got the hello Saigon noodle soup (dac biet) which was a pretty large portion. Broth was very flavorful, beef was tender, and bean sprouts were fresh. Would definitely order from here again! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. Ordered the vegetable pho. It came out quickly and was steaming hot as expected. The broth was a bit bland but it had a nice assortment of tofu, broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, bok choi, carrots, and asparagus, plus a nice helping of noodles. Service was efficient and if I'm in the area again, I'll return!! read more

Hello Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Hello Saigon has really speedy service and tons of room compared to most other pho places in NYC. We got waters immediately and our dishes came out incredibly quickly. I got the special pho dish on the menu (there was a picture of it) that had brisket and meat balls. It's was super flavorful and more food than I was expecting for $14. My boyfriend had the shredded chicken pho which wasn't as robust in taste from the one bite I had and sort of unusual in that it was loaded with veggies. Overall I'd go here again for a cheap and filling bite. read more

Hello Saigon - Hello Saigon Special Noodle Soup (c bit) - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

This place is a little mixed for me. First there is a place around the corner with a simular name. But yea thank god I remember the way you have to walk into the place. Best catfish sandwiches in NYC hands down and at a great price of $8. 4 stars because the service is slow. If they can kick up the speed it takes to get sited and then to order they could be a great place. Staff is nice, just a little too slow and thats not even waiting for the food. The speed of the food getting to you is pretty quick. But yea get a little more organized and this place will be packed for good reasons, price and amazing food flavors. read more

My favorite pho restaurant in all of NYC! The broth does not leave you feeling thirsty afterwards, that's when you know it's authentic. They always give you so much meat as well. Every single one of the staff is very kind. Whenever I'm in the West Village, I always make sure to stop by and grab some pho to take home. read more

Unpretentious and delicious! In a city filled with very ~high end~ (more like, pricey!) vietnamese food, this place takes the cake for being reasonably priced and serving solid dishes. I came with my mom and sister around 9pm on a weekday and we ordered 2 apps: chicken curry & shrimp summer roll and 2 entrees: rare beef eye round pho and grilled pork chop w/ rice vermicelli. Compared to other places, the chicken curry serving was HUGE with 4 chicken thigh pieces. We sopped up the coconut curry with the freshly warm french bread. The bread was amazing. I regretted that we didn't order the banh mi because judging by the quality of the bread alone, I bet the banh mi would've been a hit as well. 4 stars because the shrimp summer roll was very straight forward (shrimp, shredded lettuce, and rice vermicelli noodle) while other places tend to jazz it up with more herbs and better peanut sauce, and the pho serving seemed pretty small relative to other places. Nevertheless, this place was a hit and we loved it. While we rarely order pork, the grilled pork chop here was one of the best I've ever had. Super thin and marinated really well. We also added a spring roll to it and it made the grilled pork chop w/ vermicelli noodles even better. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Hello Saigon - Grilled pork chop w/ vermicelli noodles and a deep fried spring roll. So good! - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

The pho was super fresh and really hot. I got the grilled chicken pho, and the broth was pretty good (nothing exceptional). There were some broccoli florets in the pho (interesting), but I wish it had a more interesting flavor palette. The grilled chicken, however, had a fantastic flavor. It was kinda fatty and gristly, but besides that it was pretty good. read more

Hello Saigon is a typical Vietnamese restaurant that sells pho, appetizers, and rice dishes. The venue is fairly large and service is quick. Overall an okay experience. Ordered Pho with rare steak on the side - nice broth, could be a little more fishy. The toppings were browning, the lemon was really small, and there were no jalapenos. The portions were petite for the price. read more

[delivery review] One of the cheapest bowls of pho in lower Manhattan outside of Chinatown on Ubereats/Doordash. The pho broth was a tad on the sweet side, but pretty good. I was really pleased with the lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl. The meat was well seasoned and well grilled. read more

This place has fantastic pho. The broth is super flavorful. The service is also awesome! I would definitely recommend eating here.

I don't know why.... but all Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in New York don't offer authentic Pho noodles. I mean, the broth and meat are great (the short rib Pho @Hello Saigon is a must try!!), but the Pho itself is just not right. Every place has the same round rice noodle (like the Bun in Bun Bo Hue) when it should be thin and flat- like Italian Pappardelle (but not as wide of course). Eating the wrong type of of noodle really turned me off. But it's just me being so nitpicking about this stuff. Hello Saigon remains a decent place to get quick Vietnamese food. The ambiance conveys a homey Vietnamese vibe. The staff was friendly, the food was served quickly. The menu is more extensive than that of the nearby Saigon Shack. And of course, the price was affordable despite being on Bleecker Street. Remember to bring cash to redeem the promotions though! I forgot to bring mine today and had to pay full price at lunch. read more

Hello Saigon - Short rib Pho on a cold day! So good :) - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Hello Saigon was such a pleasant experience - great food, great service, no wait... maybe not The Best Viet food I've ever had, but high quality regardless! My friend was visiting from Connecticut and he never had Vietnamese food in his life so I introduced him to the cuisine with Hello Saigon. Even though I made reservations, they weren't necessary at all. The restaurant was maybe half filled at 7 pm on a Friday. We couldn't decide what we wanted so we ordered the beef short rib pho (because that's their special) and grilled pork vermicelli to share. It was definitely enough food for two people to split. They were extremely generous with the beef short rib. I was expecting one huge slab of meat, but there were actually four sizable chunks that really raised the value of the bowl. The broth was pretty standard, as was the vermicelli, but both dishes were delicious. At the end of the meal, they brought us dessert - on the house! I'm still not sure what it was, it was a gelatinous banana dish that was warm and absolutely delicious. A perfect way to cap a satisfying dinner. Although there were some hiccups with the food and orders, the waiters were quick to apologize and extremely accommodating. I know that Saigon Shack is nearby and I've been meaning to try that restaurant but always turned off by the long waits. So if you want high quality and affordable Vietnamese food, definitely opt for Hello Saigon instead of Saigon Shack. The only thing you'll likely be compromising is the ambiance. read more

The service here is super slow for a Saturday at 5pm. For 2 bowls of pho, a bowl of bun bo hue and a pork chop vermicelli it took 20 minutes. They also forgot our Thai iced tea and viet coffee which they tried to charge us for. When we told him we never got it, he walked back to confirm with the other workers before taking it off the receipt. Do we look like people who will try to cheat you out of $8?! Pretty offensive... Smallest bowl of pho ever! For a fatty like me, the portions are tiny (refer to pic) and barely any meat, instead they fill the bowl with pieces of fat. I will rather wait in line for Saigon Shack down the street then come back here. Wouldn't be surprised if the 4 and 5 stars are from friends of the owners. read more

A pretty decent Vietnamese spot in NYC - just make sure you get the right things! Beef Bun bo hue #38 - definitely get this! Flavorful. Add some of their chili paste / hot sauce that's at the table. There's some fish sauce in there and it really adds another dimension to the broth. Bahn mi pate pork special - also definitely get this! finally a bahn mi where the bread is slightly warm and the perfect texture, sturdy enough to holds all the goodies inside without being too crusty and tough / hard to chew. Excellent bread:veggie:meat ratio. I would not get the pho house special again. Broth, noodles and meat just didn't live up to the amazing pho I've had before. read more

Wanted to pick up a quick meal to go before heading to the airport. Figured this spot wouldn't be too busy in the late afternoon on a Thursday - not many people inside and was greeted immediately with the menu. Settled on the Flank Steak Banh Mi ($9) and the Summer Rolls ($4). While waiting for these ordered a beer ($4) since it was relatively cheap. Unfortunately the food took longer than expected (20ish minutes), mostly due to the several pick up ordered they had to fill. Protip - do your order in advance. As for the food, flank steak is delicious - well spiced meat with plenty of veggies packed in a big sandwich. Wasn't a fan of the bread, as it was tough to chew through. Summer rolls are your basic fare, made much better by the tangy sauce it is served with. Servers here are very nice - letting me know where my order was at intervals. Will re-rate when I get a chance for a sitdown meal. read more

Not too shabby. Maybe 3.5 stars... We had delivery from Hello Saigon. All-in-all it was a good meal- the grape leaves beef was great . The traditional grilled pork chops (with egg of course) and egg rolls were very tasty. My only real complaint was a very fishy Bun bo hue- tasted like it was made with shrimp stock... So fishy... Who does that? In any case, definitely worth a try. read more

If you're craving a bit bowl of pho you can't go wrong here. The pho is big and can come up with up to 4 different types of meat (!) if you wish. Broth is flavorful and authentic. Service is fast. Prices are reasonable for the size I think. Limited outdoor seating. read more

Hello Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

It's pretty hard to find a proper Vietnamese restaurant in this city, but i think hello saigon hits all the marks. Seems like everyone who works there is vietnamese, unlike in Chinatown when i speak in Vietnamese the Chinese staff give me blank looks. The food is excellent and on par with what you would find in Houston, Falls Church, Garden Grove, etc. Get the bo luc lac, banh hoi with grilled pork, and the cha gio. They the food is also priced very reasonably. read more

I'm a harsh critic when it comes to Vietnamese food- esp coming from So Cal where the cuisine is everywhere, so I'm relieved this joint wasn't another disappoint. Ambience was the right amount of no fuss, chill atmosphere with a bar in front offering local beers on tap. (Surprised) My partner and I ordered a bun bo hue, pho special and bo la lot appetizer (beef wrapped in grape leaves). The meat was deliciously charbroiled and the soup was well seasoned. We topped off our meals with Vietnamese ice coffee which was a win! read more

I really was disappointed that I can't give this place better praise. I was going to give it 2 stars but a star dropped specifically because after my wife Jessi S wrote a review about our extremely disappointing experience - someone from the restaurant decided to write her on Yelp and claim that she wrote a review for the wrong restaurant because they just opened on the 5th of November which is obviously a LIE. 1) We checked in and used their yelp deal and have their take out menu and have our receipt to prove it. I dare her to write me and try to make the same accusation because I will be happy to share a picture of my receipt. 2) Obviously there are reviews from before Nov 5 reviewing the restaurant so don't tell me you JUST opened when there are reviews from a month ago I think it's sad that restaurants will go to that length to create a false Yelp atmosphere whenever they get a less than favorable review. Let's be honest- even the BEST restaurants cannot please EVERYONE. Now on to my review and why I gave it the rating I did The service was nice but was quite difficult to get someone's attention at times and it really wasn't very busy. My wife and I both ordered boba smoothies (under the bubble tea smoothie section). Both costing $5.50 each. I asked for Mango, she asked for strawberry. When my Mango came- it lacked the boba even though I asked for it. Instead of making me a new one- he took it and shoved boba on top of it and in the middle so it was very difficult to drink and the boba became very gummy and stuck to each other. Her strawberry tasted very artificial We both ordered Bun or a vermicelli bowl. I had the beef and she had the chicken. I kid you not, my beef was so thick and tough it was like eating rubber. Her chicken was not cut well and she even had a bone in it that she resulted to using her fingers. When the bill came, we noticed we were charged $1 extra EACH for the boba even though NO WHERE on the menu under the bubble tea section did it mentioned that it was additional. I didn't like that but we didn't complain and paid and tipped and left. Definitely will not be returning again. read more

Hello Saigon - 80. Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

I wanted to try out a viet place besides the obvious go-to Saigon Shack so I dropped by here since it's relatively close by! The atmosphere and setup bears a lot of resemblance to the typical pho restaurant -- thumbs up to that, I like the casual and warm vibe of those places. Service is also quite good; they are attentive, seat people quickly and aren't pushy about taking away plates or giving us the check. Also, 20% discount to college students w/ID, BUT you have to pay with cash. 7/10 - Crispy fried pork spring roll: not my favorite that I've tried, but it was still good. I would probably pass on ordering this again 7.5/10 - Deep fried crispy calamari: overall pretty tasty. Comes with a nice honey mustard type of sauce. Lots of veggies too. 8/10 - Tai pho: solid pho / broth. I devoured this. 9/10 - Iced thai milk tea: sweet overdose (which I like LOL), seems like they add a bit more condensed milk than usual viet places. I also tasted a bit of the spicy pho which had a interesting kick..would recommend to anybody wanting a spicier broth that's not traditional beef broth. The menu is pretty extensive here as well. I will definitely be back to try a rice dish. Hello Saigon seems like a good alternative to Saigon Shack. read more

My friend introduced me to this place during Halloween. It wasn't so crowded and it was a lot of fun seeing everyone dressed up. Since then I've gone here 3 times and absolutely love this place! I usually get the number 32 pho and durian bubble tea. The unlikely pairing is delicious, especially in a cold day. The pho is really good here and I can attest since the one who introduced me to this place is Vietnamese. The soup is the right amount of heat where you don't have to wait for it to cool so it doesn't burn your to tongue. The pho is not too salty at all, a good balance. Despite the pungent smell of durian, it's actually one of my favorite fruits and the bubble tea is a delicious iteration of the flavor. The best part is the price point, especially for the location. If your credit card connects to groupon, a 5% discount is applied to your billing statement. read more

I'm Vietnamese so I can surely tell you that they got the best bun bo hue in NYC. It's not really 100% authentic as in Vietnam cause there some ingredients are not in the US. However, this bowl has 80-90% of authentic flavor. Every time I come here, I order it. read more

Hello Saigon - I'm Vietnamese and I got to say this is the best Bun Bo Hue in NYC. - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome place to get pho!! This is a fairly new establishment I believe and it's definitely worth your time to give this place a try! The soup is very flavorful and I think they use fresh noodles rather than dried noodles for the pho. They give a generous amount of meat for the pho and the bean sprouts, basil, and limes were very fresh. We asked for the bean sprouts boiled already and they were very open to serving them boiled instead of raw which is the typical way the bean sprouts are brought out. I had the pho dac biet/pho Hello Saigon (12) and the portion size is definitely on the smaller size, but it is packed with flavor. Will definitely be back! Tip: Check in on yelp to get 25% your entire bill! Only one person in your party needs to check in to get 25% off for everyone :) read more

No-friils Southern Vietnamese in Greenwich Village with reasonable prices and fast, friendly service. I have only gotten take-out orders but they have all been ready within 10 min, which is great for lunch. The entrees are served over vermicelli with a side of nuoc cham, and prices are very fair at $9-10. The lemongrass chicken and curry chicken are very solid (keep in mind this is Vietnamese and not Thai curry so there is no thick coconut gravy) with tender, flavorful chicken, and fresh vegetables - you can tell them to alter the spice level as well. The grilled pork chop over rice is also a good lunch option - very flavorful with a slight char. Definitely a solid option for a lunch to-go. read more

Hello Saigon - Steamed Beef short rib pho. Next time I will try the BBQ beef short rib. - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Great service, great food. Maybe a dollar or two overpriced but at that point not too bad for nyc.

Came here for a lunch with some coworkers. I don't eat a lot of asian cuisines for some reason, but my coworkers were seasoned professionals and helped me through the menu. I ordered the chicken pho whcih waS absolutely phenomenal. I forgot how much I loved pho, and definitely wilL make more of an effort to try more pho places! The spring rolls we ordered were also amazing, I was a huge fan of the lettuce adding crisp to the roll. The quality of ingredients was apparent in the amazing taste, and the service was great, super quick throughout. The warm soup was everything I needed on a. Old winter day, and while the hefty portions were too big to finish, I truly debated ending it all and just going for the whole thing. Super delicious and highly recommend! read more

Hands down the best pho I've ever had.The broth is indescribably on another level from any other pho restaurant I've been to. This is my go-to spot for a pho fix.

Definitely give this place a try! read more

Hello Saigon - Seafood pho and Tai Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Simple and delicious. Food is good and place is clean. Definitely recommend and coming back

Heard some good things about this place, so I figured I had to check it out. My boyfriend and I came on a Friday evening (a little after 7) and were seated immediately. The restaurant is deep and rather large considering the area. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and there were a bunch of open tables, but we were seated at a smaller middle table. However, we noticed other couples and parties of two seated at larger tables and wondered why we weren't given a larger table. Besides that, the table size was inconvenient for the amount of food we ordered, but we made do with it. We ordered the pork spring rolls, combo 3 grilled beef over angel hair, two short rib phos, and fresh coconut juice. Our server ended up messing up our order but we let it slide -- we ordered two phos, we were only served one. The egg rolls were pretty tasty, but the other dishes were definitely lacking. Short rib (in general) is delicious, but the rest of the bowl did not meet my expectations. The broth lacked flavor, in my opinion, and the noodles were too firm (like an undercooked texture). The grilled beef dish was mediocre; I've definitely had that platter with better seasoning and flavors. My boyfriend actually said that if he had to redo his order, he'd skip the beef platter and just order a short rib pho with extra short rib and no noodles! Before coming to the restaurant, we noticed there was a check in offer for 25% off if you pay in cash. We were a bit disappointed by the quality of the food, but hey for 25% off we weren't about to complain anymore. Turns out, though, that the check in offer was only valid Monday-Thursday. Bummer. All in all, there was nothing particularly special about Hello Saigon. I probably won't come back again, since there are other Vietnamese restaurants with food of better quality and flavors. read more
