One of the best bánh mì sandwiches I've ever had -- full stop. This spot serves Vietnamese-American classics with an expansive menu: bánh mì sandwiches, pho noodle soup (including vegan pho broth ), smoked brisket, vermicelli bowls, fresh summer rolls, Vietnamese iced coffee, and more. I ordered the shiitake mushroom bánh mì and it absolutely blew me away. The mushrooms were incredibly umami-rich and "meaty," paired perfectly with crisp veggies, fresh herbs, and a baguette that was chef's kiss -- soft and pillowy on the inside with a perfectly crusty exterior. Absolutely bursting with flavor. Thoughtfully executed, deeply flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Whether you're vegan or not, this is a must-order and a must-visit. read more

Quick and casual vietnamese food spot with affordable prices. I ordered the beef brisket pho, which was unique because of the thick cut beef. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked, but I enjoyed that the noodles came with mushrooms and spinach. read more

I love their Vietnamese coffee. It's dark not to sweet and is soothing to my soul. Service was quick and easy! They used to sell the coffee in a bottle/jar so that you could save for the week, which i was looking forward to, but the cup was just as good. The coffee brought me joy! read more

Came here and ordered the Briket Pho and the brisket was great, tender, and tasty; the broth was tasty with little to none evidence of MSG; and the ambiance of the place was great but kinda small to enjoy your food. I've also had the brisket bahn mi which was crispy, fresh made, and delish. I'd definitely come back again to this place when I am in the area : ) read more

I ordered delivery from here. The tofu pho was decent. I love that they separate out all the toppings so nothing gets soggy. The noodles arrived piping hot. The broth and other toppings were very tasty, but the tofu was terrible. It was thick, dense, and grainy. It came with five large pieces, but I ended up removing most of them. I also tried their vegan ginger chicken. This had pretty good flavor and was chewy and meat-like. A good accompaniment to the pho. read more

Had a quick dinner with a friend at Lucy's Vietnamese one evening. There are two large communal tables inside, along with some smaller spots by the window, but since it was a warm night, we opted to sit outside at one of the small tables. Lucy's is located on Berry Street, just one block over from the busier Bedford Ave, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and foot traffic. I ordered the Vermicelli Bowl with smoked brisket and added the beer combo (an extra $3). The brisket is noted as being cooked for 10 hours, and it was tender, flavorful, and easily cut with a fork. The rest of the bowl came with rice noodles, cabbage, and other veggies, good overall, but the brisket really made the meal. My friend had the Lemongrass Chicken Pho and also enjoyed it, noting it was rich in flavor and very filling. Our food came out very quickly, within just a few minutes, which was a nice surprise. Overall, great for a quick, satisfying meal or takeout spot. Would definitely come back. read more

It was just ok. I was excited to try because of all the rave reviews about the brisket, but it just LOOKED sad and dry when I saw it. I came for dinner on a Saturday with some friends and it wasn't too busy. There's a few tables inside and a patio in the back, but the patio is closed for construction or smth. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. I got the brisket banh mi, the rest of the party got the brisket pho or the chicken banh mi. The brisket sandwich was good, in that it was a filling sandwich. The brisket itself however didn't have much flavor (it was peppery) and so dry. I had to douse my sandwich in hoisin sauce/sriracha to enjoy, and I almost never add extra hot sauces or anything to my food. I did however appreciate the amount of veggies (well really carrots) in it. As for the pho, I'm not a super picky pho person so I thought it was fine (aside from the dry and peppery brisket) but no one loved it. The price is fair and I guess it filled me up, but honestly unsatisfying. Service wasn't super memorable and they have a bathroom in the back. read more

I came here as I was passing by the place, but it wasn't what I had expected it to be. I looked up the reviews, and ppl were all raving about it, so I had to try it out. It's very low-key, which I liked. The water is self-serve, and you order at the front. Once it is paid for, it will be made, and they bring it out to you unless you're taking it to go. There is some indoor seating and some outdoors by the makeshift garden, which I glanced at quickly, and it was really cute. Btw, they honor the check-in as I asked before ordering, and it was added, or shall I say that 10% was taken off. The food wasn't what I had expected. I didn't know that the broth was fully vegetarian, so the base is mushroom. I had a taste of it and was surprised. I decided to get the beef as it was cooked for 14 hours. The meat was good, but not so the broth. It totally turned me off. I understand the concept, but it isn't for me. I doubt I'll be returning unless they have another broth for the meat lovers. read more

I sometimes pass by this store thinking if I should go in or not and thank god I finally went in. I ordered the brisket pho and boy was it delicious! The best brisket I've ever tasted in my life! Good thing I ordered the brisket and it was my first time! They gave a lot of brisket so that's a plus! Brisket was juicy and tender! You can taste the aroma of the meat inside your mouth! The noodles were good and fresh! I'm going to come back and try it again! So delicious!! A very clean and cozy place when you enter. You can either order food through the self kiosk or in person. Service is fast too! Food came out pretty quick! A must try! read more

Lucy's has expanded to four locations as of this writing. I stopped into this outpost in North Williamsburg for a Labor Day lunch. My girlfriend and I shared a smoked brisket pho and a can of IPA (it's a deal to get both). The backyard patio was cool and breezy so we posted up and got to munching. I had high expectations and Lucy's pho managed to surpass them. The bowl was full of goodies: tender brisket, baby bok choy, white onions, green onions, mushrooms, noodles, and that uniquely peppery broth. The brisket was sumptuous and rich. Some of my favorite bites were the ones where I got white onion and green onion in the same mouthful. After the big pieces were all gone, I sipped the broth, using my spoon to collect all the little nibbles at the bottom. This pho demands to be devoured in its entirety. Service was friendly and fast, prices were reasonable for the quality of food. The can of beer, Ebbs No. 3 IPA, is an awesome selection for the combo deal. I recommend the backyard for your group of 4-6 cool friends. Now I want to check out the Grand Street location just to continue enjoying this great food. read more

As an Angeleno that has consumed many bowls of pho in my life, I've rarely come across mediocre/bad pho. It really pains me to not leave a glowing review but sadly, the pho I had at Lucy's was definitely closer to mediocre than good. The restaurant is small and has a few (like 3) small tables and a two-top facing the window. You walk in and order at the counter, pay, sit down and the food is brought out to you. Not too much dining in going on but the place was busy with plenty of take-out orders. I had the beef brisket and my sister had the lemongrass chicken... they offer a combo which comes w/ your choice of a can of beer. The first few bites were great because I was starving but once my initial hunger pangs were satiated... I began to realize that the pho wasn't really that good. There was something missing. That distinct pho smell and taste. Then I realized that the pho was vegan and mushroom based! Great for vegans, I guess! My sister wasn't a fan of her pho either. I can appreciate Lucy's spin on their pho broth and it was clearly a popular spot for take-out. I just can't see myself returning for the pho here, though. read more

Lucy's - Brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of my regular take-out spots deserves a review! If you're a meat-eater, you can't go wrong with the smoked beef brisket pho. Typically, I order it with extra veggies and extra meat so that I can make a few meals out of it. The trick is to ensure the noodles are separate. I've tried the lemon grass chicken but don't believe it's as strong as the smoked beef. read more

I have ordered from Lucy's countless times without writing a review but after such a consistently amazing experience, I had to this time. The tofu pho is absolutely AMAZING!!! The summer rolls are so fresh and the additional lime, jalapeños, and bean sprouts just put the cherry on tip. The service is SO FAST! I order and my food just magically appears, so grateful for Lucy's!!! read more

I think it's good to note that this place is good for take outs. All the orders come out in a "take out ready" packaging. Water is also self service here. I got the smoked brisket banh mi and pho, but the meat in both were very thick and a bit hard to chew. I wish the pho had a deeper broth and had more toppings. The hoisin sauce and sriracha both came in tiny individual packets. Ambiance/interior seemed unfinished and they were just okay. There were only couple tables and I saw a lot of other customers sharing the same table b/c of the limited space. I feel like I definitely had better Vietnamese food elsewhere where it seemed more authentic and carefully prepared with the various ingredients.. But the staff was definitely friendly and accommodating with extra napkins, etc that we needed! read more

Today is the day I revisited restaurants from my Elite Events that took place in Williamsburg last year or.more. I had a craving for a Bahn Mi sandwich which I haven't had since you guessed it... last year at Lucy's Bed Stuy, Brooklyn location. That was a great event! I was pleased to spend a warm spring like day in Williamsburg especially eateries that are close to Domino Park like Lucy's. I entered and could smell the freshly toasted bread. I placed my order and remembered my 10% Yelp check in discount, perks my friend, perks! I found a seat near the window that had cushions and a nice view to people watch. My Bahn Mi was served to me table side, love that! I unwrapped my sandwich and took a good look at my delicious Bahn Mi that was about to be devoured: the chicken with the lemongrass flavor, oodles of cilantro, cucumbers.. is my sandwich seeping into your consciousness yet?...carrots on that heavenly toasted bread. Yowza indeed! I was a bit more daring today and squeezed the hot chili sauce and it gave it a spicy kick. The black iced tea served as my fire extinguisher.All in all a delicious cheat! This location is much smaller than Bed Stuy but it still packs a great punch: nice service, chill vibe ( love the picnic tables and cushions) and more importantly the food is delicious. Consistency keeps me loyal.. thus if a restaurant can still wow me with their food and service, then I'm your customer for a long time. If you read my previous review of Lucy's Vietnamese Elite Event it started like this: I love Lucy and she loves me, I'm so happy with my Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi. I still love Lucy and if you haven't tried the establishment all I can say is you need a good dose of Vitavitavegamin( (for all you I Love Lucy fans!) read more

Food (5/5): - Food was FIRE - I come from a place with a very strong Vietnamese food scene. While I still prefer some restaurants back home, this place is really, really solid for NY - I got the smoked brisket banh mi which was soooo good. I devoured it in less than 10 min. I loved the texture and marinade of the brisket. The bread was nicely toasted and crispy. It also had the perfect amount of sourness and savoriness. 12/10 - My friend got the smoked brisket pho. I can't really speak to it since I didn't eat it but I tasted a bit of the broth which was also really good Service (5/5): - They were very kind and attentive. They noticed two of my friends were trying to split a bowl of pho so they offered them more broth Ambiance (5/5): - Definitely a small, cute, casual, sit-down vibes type of place! - Great place to hang out with friends Will be back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

On a beautiful spring day with a very busy morning working, my friends and I were starving. I was craving something filling, but also something refreshing and crisp. Enter the Banh Mi, one heck of a sandwich. And Lucy's Banh Mi did not disappoint. Bread was fresh and delicious, veggies with just the right amount of satisfying crunch, and some pretty fantastic juicy brisket in the middle of it all. I usually get the chicken banh mis whenever I go to a vietnamese spot but the server said this was their speciality and he was right to do so. This was an excellent sandwich, top to bottom, in a cozy spot in Brooklyn. Highly reccomend it for anyone that loves brisket, banh mis, or just a delicious sandwich in general. Also we got summer rolls and those were good too. read more

The food here is AMAZING! This was my first time trying pho and the smoked brisket pho is a game changer. It's nicely seasoned and tender. Extra bonus points because the pho is a mushroom based. I love that the menu is pretty straight forward. All the proteins (include a vegan option) are available in pho, a bahn mi, vermecilli bowl or summer roll. In addition to the smoked brisket pho, I tried the smoked brisket bahn mi and some summer rolls (including the smoked brisket summer rolls). THAT'S how good the smoked brisket is ya'll. I also had the Black Iced Tea which was delicious. Love that there's some ginger in there. The restaurant has indoor seating, a back patio and street dining. Please note that the indoor seating is limited. They have their own site to place orders for delivery in addition to being on several other delivery platforms. The restaurant was packed and there was a constant flow of drivers picking up orders, so if it's on your list please don't hesitate to stop by! I'll definitely be back. read more

A bunch of my friends and acquaintances kept raving about Lucy's over the years. So I heard of it but I never pushed myself to go until a night when I was craving something new to eat. The store itself is compact with chairs on the i I ordered to go since it was getting late but it wasn't moderately quick. They do have some special items and deals that they have in store that I didn't see online (including the beer and entree combo). They packed the pho well with the broth being separate from the noodles. It held up well and warm after a bit of a trip home. What I didn't pay attention to was the fact that it isn't traditional in terms of its style. (But that is on me). For its acclaimed brisket pho, you get this Smoky juicy peppery meat. The broth is flavorful and umami. Other than those, the typical pho toppings were there (bean sprouts, lime, Thai basil, etc). It tastes great and it could be a place I could recommend someone else to go to for a unique twist. For myself, because of spending a period of time on the west coast, I lean more traditional with pho. But I would love to try the brisket in a banh mi because it is that good. read more

First time I ever had smoked brisket in pho. It was delicious. It came with plenty of noodles and some greens and mushrooms. I just wish there was a little more broth. $16 for a hardy bowl of soup. Of course, it's Brooklyn, so it came in a biodegradable cornstarch bowl, but with a plastic spoon. The place has seating for about 18. You can see into the kitchen, and it looked immaculate! My order came out fast read more

Stopped by on our way to a show at Brooklyn Bowl and we're overall happy with our experience (good food at a fast casual spot). Very americanized vietnamese food, but the smoked brisket is delicious and would recommend it as the main protein for any of the items (eg Pho, Bahn Mi, Rolls). We ended up splitting the Bahn Mi and 3 rolls (2 chicken one brisket). Unfortunately the rolls barely had any meat in them, so was difficult to truly rate the chicken. Also we ordered on the automatic kiosk when there, and then after waiting 20 min had to go up and ask for our order (which was mistakenly packed up as Togo), so if you are dinning in, make sure to check up on your food if it's been a while. Overall, would eat their Bahn Mi again (specifically the brisket). read more

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. It's pretty hard to find genuinely good pho or Vietnamese food in general in NYC (especially anywhere near Williamsburg) but Lucy's is a gem. The pho is superb, super flavorful and the noodles are perfectly chewy (They also have a vegan option which is shockingly good, I would normally never recommend). But in my opinion the one dish you MUST try is the smoked brisket banh mi. From the outside, you'd never guess a humble little spot like this can pack so much flavor and umami into its brisket, but you'd be wrong. I bring my friends from out of town here to try it, that's how good it is. Also I have to give love to the staff and owners here. Always super kind and welcoming. And last thing I'll say is that the Vietnamese coffee and black teas here are also super yummy (and they even have beer too for late night snacks). Such a huge fan of this spot and can't speak highly enough of it! read more

We ordered bánh mi from here and at it is at McCarren park. We absolutely devoured them. I want to go back and try their other food like the vermicelli bowls. read more

I got their brisket pho to go, and it was very delicious. My recommendation for the noodle container though would be that it's shorter and wider so that it is easier to be eaten out of. The amount of noodles didn't seem like that much, but it was still a filling amount for lunch. I loved the amount of brisket they gave so it made up for the less noodles. Broth was yum. And for their to go orders, they give a reusable bag! That's a plus. read more

While visiting NYC we decided to stop in for a quick Bahn mi before a night of drinking out in the town. This spot is small but mighty but has seating enough for 20 people tops. I saw some table tops and seating outside as well to use but the weather was a little too cold for this Texas girl. Ordering was quick and easy as we dined in. We were even offered some spring rolls and tofu at closing as the staff ended up making a little more than they needed for the evening. Check out the specials where they pair pho or a Bahn mi with a beer (IPAs are included in this special too!) or another non-alcoholic drink. read more

I haven't came across a Vietnamese restaurant with this type of food before! It's definitely more modern style with a Texas twist??

It could use a bit more seasoning but overall good! read more

I freaking love this place. I used Ubereats to order some pho, spring rolls and their iced tea. The smoked brisket pho was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The way the meat complimented to soup base & tender to a bite... the way the soup was hearty but not feeling too heavy traveled down to my esophagus to my stomach... everything about that whole experience was magical. The spring rolls were pretty good as an app. The iced tea was freshly brewed and not too sweet, which complimented my whole meal. I can't wait to come to Williamsburg and try this place dining in. Get your pho crave here!! read more

One of the best banh mi I have ever had. The 14 hour brisket is immaculate. Great people watching and crunchy bread

Came here to eat after seeing lots of positive reviews on yelp. This place seems like a relatively new business. I walked in and know I wanted to get pho and the man at the counter helped me place my order. I sat down inside and waited for the order which didn't take much time to come out. The soup was very flavorful and the chicken meat was very tender. The price is a bit high for a bowl of pho coming close to $20. I also wish the broth was hotter. I liked that there was sate, sriracha and hoisin sauce available. read more

Mediocre vermicelli bowl... I've never seen a vermicelli bowl without cilantro and mint. Had to douse mine in fish sauce to make up for the fresh flavors lacking that I love in Vietnamese cuisine. I also tried the pho broth.... Very strong on the cinnamon. Glad I didn't order a pho. I will not be coming here again. For reference I have lived in Asia and traveled throughout Vietnam.

I stopped by and ordered a brisket pho and the meat was so delicious - it reminded me of southern bbq style smoked brisket more so than traditional pho and was very thick cut and just a little fatty which I liked. There's a nice little back patio seating area and my friends both enjoyed their bahn mis. Definitely recommend! read more
