    Shrimp in onion and ginger sauce
    Brian M.

    5 stars! Great addition to the neighborhood. There are not too many Vietnamese cuisine restaurants in Bay Ridge and this one checks all the boxes. Great food, prices, selection, large clean well decorated space, courteous and helpful staff and well organized. We were immediately greeted by Daniel our server who was well informed, very polite and explained all the dishes we asked about. They have only been open about a few months and I hope the neighborhood supports them. They have 125 dishes to choose from. They have Rice Noodle Beef soups, pan fried noodle dishes, appetizers, vermicelli dishes, soup, Do Bien Seafood, Bo beef dishes, House Special Dishes, Heo Pork dishes, Ga Chicken dishes, vegetable dishes, vegetarian dishes, casseroles, Com Dia Rice dishes, Trang Meing desserts, Bubble Tea,Smoothies , Fresh juices, and Giai Khat beverages. We started with the Com Ga Nurong grilled chicken with white rice and shrimp with fried rice. Also had fresh squeezed juice which is called Cough- carrot, pineapple and ginger. Mains were Bo Luc Lac Marinated beef cubed sautéed with onions. We also had Tom Ram Man Or Xanh which is sautéed shrimp with little salt, peppers onions and oyster sauce. We had the shrimp fried rice. All the dishes were of a good size and easily shareable. I would highly recommend Hola La Pho and will definitely recommend them.

    Lychee bubble tea (Pass on that unless you like milky drinks), Brisket Pho & Chicken Pho (bottom).

    Interesting take on Pho. The service was good & ambiance, nice..we loved the big portions! My Pho Ga (Chicken) glad it was made with chicken broth (unfortunately some places make chicken pho w/beef broth), it had plenty of veggies, I really liked & appreciated that but I needed to add a lot of hoisin sauce to my chicken pho to add flavor. My Fiancé got the Beef Short Rib, which he liked. My Lychee bubble tea (I ordered without tapioca pearls) I didn't read anything about milk in it, so I was disappointed when I got it & it tasted like a "frothy ice milk" with a HINT of Lychee. I'd pass on that drink. Overall experience wasn't bad, so we'd definitely go again. It's nice to see a Vietnamese restaurant in the area besides the usual.

    Pork Chop Vermicelli Plate

    Great place to dine! Made a reservation for 11 family members (ranging from 4 to 75 years of age) for lunch. We all finished our plates. Highlights were the OG Big Bowl, Spring Rolls, Pork Chop Vermicelli, Grilled Beef Vermicelli, and Grilled Pork Slices over Rice.

    A good attempt at emulating tasty Vietnamese cuisine. Everything is sparkly and new. Their dishes, the sauces, etc but unfortunately the pho broth was extremely bland, it felt like having boiled water with noodles and a sad 3 slices of the thinnest brisket you'd ever find (that's not a compliment by the way). We tried the shrimp & pork spring rolls 6 pcs for 18.95 - it was fried nicely but again, tasteless and bland. The pork texture was also a bit off putting, slightly mushy inside. The staff was nice and the ambience is decent, different from what you'd expect from a Vietnamese restaurant. I might give it another try to test other dishes out but sad to say I won't be back if I am craving a hot umami flavored bowl of pho!

    This place just opened up a few weeks ago and I came and gave it a try on a rainy day. The service is great from the moment you step in you're greeted with smiles and since it was early no one was inside. I like the feel to the place as they are very attentive and the decor is nice. I have to say this is the best beef Pho I've had since a place I go to in Montreal Canada! The beef Pho is hands down the best I've had and now has gained a new true customer. Can't wait to come back and become a regular

The service was okay - it was obvious the server was brand new/still in training so I'm sure he'll get better and congrats to him on the new job! Btw, in case you were wondering this place is NOT Vietnamese-owned, or at least the server + the host + some workers in the back were not, or perhaps they're trilingual. In any case, I was a little sad about that because there really is a lack of good Viet food in NY so although other ethnicities are more than welcome to own places not of their own ethnicities, I was just hoping to find more Viet-owned Viet food businesses. That being said, I got pho bo vien (which I suppose now I know why there's no Vietnamese text on the menu... so this is the viet meatball pho??) and it was okay. Nothing bad, nothing special, probably a bit too pricey for what you get. I was hoping for some comfort food since this location is nearby. The broth was overall fine after adding some hoisin sauce and Sriracha. Unsure if I'll come again... the convenient location for me is probably the main selling point

You know when a place has a limited menu they take care of all their foods. We ordered a pork bahn mi and a chicken bahn mi. An order of pirk dumplings and 2 drinks. The lychee drink and the taro milk drink with boba. The taro drink was creamy and light when drinking. The lychee drink was like a lychee flavor soda but so refreshing. Definitely get the lychee if you are unsure as that is what the worker recommended when i asked. The dumplings were small but yummy with their homemade sauce. I wish they were bigger but no other complaints. The bahn mi's were delicious i got the prok and the flavoring were juicy with their homemade sauce pickled carrots and cucumbers slices balancing it out. The bread was so crispy i throughly enjoyed. I will stop by again another time for the delicious Pho smell that was at the restaurant.

It was so refreshing yet decadent at the same time. Such a treat! I ordered a bahn mi (original) to go since I was heading to dinner and the lady packed all the veggies on the side for me and told me not to toast the bread. She instructed me to toast the bread at home when I'm ready to eat it and to them assemble the veggies afterwards. IT WAS THE BEST BAHN MI I've ever had (and I've had my fair share of bahn mi's all over the city). Ba Xuyen is not an extravagant restaurant but it is excellent! It is palpable that the staff takes pride in their food and their work. And you know the place is going to be good when an elementary school kid is collecting money behind the cash register! Will definitely return and bring friends!

The baguette was perfectly crisp on the outside while staying light enough to bite through. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful, the fillings were generous, and the pate added so much rich, savory flavor. I also loved that they chop up the cilantro, so you're not spending a whole minute trying to chew through the stems. Everything was packed together so well that the sandwich held its shape from the first bite to the last without falling apart. The inside feels like a classic Asian bakery, with shelves lined with snacks and baked goods to-go. This is the kind of bánh mì that reminds you why it's such a classic: simple and balanced perfectly. Definitely a spot I'll come back to.

ATMOSPHERE: The space feels modern-cozy, not touristy. White marble tables, teal booths, pendant lighting, and a backlit bar make it bright for lunch and glowy for dinner. It's built for lingering -- solo noodle missions, date night, or a post-Brooklyn Bridge walk catch-up. Locals treat it like their neighborhood living room. SERVICE: Family-owned by Dumbo native Patrick Lin, and the team leans into that hospitality.

We ordered the Cha Goi (Crispy Spring Rolls ($18), Pho Thin Ha Noi (Beef Pho $25), and Pho Ga (Chicken Pho). I was impressed by the meats for both phos, as they were tender. The beef had a good wok sear, while the white meat chicken surprisingly retained good moisture. Compared to Southern style pho, Northern is more clear, light broth and wider noodles. The beef pho had more flavor. You could add hot and sweet sauce to your liking as well. We have a go to place for northern pho, but Di An Di is fine. Just a little pricey. The spring rolls were delicious though. Would recommend. Would be interested to try their banh mi next time. If you are a first timer, they do give option for pho and banh mi set (which is a smaller pho bowl and half a bahn mi). The interior is spacious, but cozy.

The manager said it was a communication issue between the servers and the kitchen staff since we did request for the toppings to be on the side. They did apologize multiple times and did not charge us for that sandwich that took forever to come. If it weren't for that incident, definitely a solid 4 stars. Would I come back? I would, the food was good and hopefully they'll get everything correct next time.
