I came here for dinner recently as I was craving Vietnamese food and it hit the spot! We did walk-ins and were fortunately able to grab a seat at a bar. Service was polite and very quick. We ordered their Madame pho and their com suong and both were delicious. Their pho was flavorful and was so so comforting, and their com suong was juicy and hit a craving that I didn't know I had. Great Viet food and I would definitely come back! read more

Pretty decent Vietnamese restaurant! My favorite is the madame wings! (FYI It has a strong fish sauce taste but so yummy) I like their bun Bo hue over the pho. I have very high standards for Vietnamese food. This meal is 75% there. Would I come back? Yes for the wings read more

What a great spot! We enjoyed everything we ordered, including the spring rolls (super flavorful), the tofu appetizer, the crab and shrimp noodles (forgot the name), and the Madame pho (forgot to photograph). We also got the wings, which my husband enjoyed but I thought was too spicy. We made a reservation just ti be safe and good thing since we got the last table! read more

Great pho spot in the city. I wish they put more noodles, though. Ratio was kinda off, and I was done with the noodles way before I was done with the meat. Great taste and broth though, hope to be back soon! read more

I do really like this spot but I have many places to compare to since I love soup. I ordered Bun Bo Hue lemongrass soup and the broth just didn't hit. It wasn't bad, just not outstanding. The amount of meat was impressive however. It's a big portion! I like the N/A drink menu as well. I ordered fresh coconut and it was very refreshing. Inside the restaurant smelled so good..so I know I have to try more dishes. This won't be my soup spot but I want to find out their strong suit. Will be back read more

Madame Vo - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Sometimes restaurants need time to improve, and Madame Vo is proof of this. When they first opened years ago, I left completely underwhelmed, with the flavors tasting muted and forgettable. At the time I had the kind of meal that made me wonder why others raved about it. I was confused by the hype back then, but returning recently felt like discovering an entirely new establishment. The banh xeo came out golden with turmeric, crispy edges and fresh herbs with nicely cooked shrimp. The garlic noodles were nice and springy. The rice cakes and grilled lemongrass chicken both hit bright flavor notes that Vietnamese food does so well. They seated us in this little back area that was great for my notoriously loud friend group. Some places just need time to hit their stride, work out the kinks, and find their voice. I'm officially rescinding that old three-star review and bumping them up to four stars. read more

Great spot if you're craving something light, refreshing, and Vietnamese! I came here about twice in one month because it was just that good. The banh xeo is perfectly crispy, but not too oily. With the pickled vegetables and fish sauce, each bite possesses a burst of flavors. Portions are large, so I'd recommend sharing! (we split among 3 people) The vermicelli bowls are delicious as well. The meat is perfectly tender and vegetables are fresh. However, my only critique is that they could give more noodles... The garlic noodles were also delicious but not worth the premium price in my opinion. They are also on the heavier side, and can probably be shared by two people! Seating is limited with small tables placed close together so I wouldn't recommend choosing this spot for larger groups as it will get a little cramped. Servers are friendly and helpful. Be warned that the air conditioning is not very strong, so don't dress too warm in the summer! read more

I've been telling everyone I know. Vietnamese food in NYC sucks. If you're from a place that has a lot of Viet food and come to this city to try Vietnamese cuisine get ready to get disappointed. First all the batter for the banh xeo was soft and the flavor of the fish sauce had too much vinegar. The bbh tasted like the paste that you can get from the freezer of an Asian market. No depth . I also didn't taste the pungent flavors from the shrimp paste. And there was only two type of meat in this dish. I feel like the owners here care more about the plating than flavors. Seems like a theme in NYC. read more

Food is good but overpriced for the portion size. I thought the tet noodles were yummy, as was the bo luc lac. The fried rice also had a very nice char and smokey flavor that I haven't encountered before, The braised pork wasn't very special, and I was expecting much more from the caramel and pineapple sauce. Service was good but it felt like they were trying to rush us out. We made a reservation as we were a large group and were seated with no troubles. A decent experience overall, just wasn't super sated. read more

I've ordered takeout from here before and enjoyed it, and decided to go for dinner with my friend to see how it is in person. Even though it was pretty busy we were able to walk in on a weekday night at 7 pm. As usual the madame pho was delicious. I decided to get the short rib, while my friend didn't add anything to hers. It was kind of hard to eat the short rib without a knife, though it was my bad for not asking. It was just a bit too much meat for me, but the rib was tender and delicious so I am glad I got it. read more

I have been to Madame Vo many times since it opened. I most recently went this week. The restaurant is long and narrow, with a lot of bench seating. There is a small bar. Service is always good. My favorite dishes here remain the Pho Chay and the Garlic Noodles. I always want to order other items on the menu, but I never want to sacrifice getting these two things. The Pho Chay is hands down the best vegetarian pho I have had anywhere, and I do crave it a fair bit. The garlic noodles are always packed with flavor, and I always order them to split with my dining partner. This restaurant has stood the test of time, and I've upped my rating because it has maintained its quality over these years. I highly recommend Madame Vo. read more

I hardly ever get pho when I crave viet food, but this bowl has truly changed me. the madame pho bowl has extremely tasty meatballs, which is my favorite part of this dish. This is also the first time I have ever tried banh xeo, and it has become a staple for me whenever I visit vietnamese restaurants (whatever they add in that fish sauce that comes with it is so tasty!) Workers are always so fast with taking our order and accommodating me + my group whenever I visit. 4/5 times I've been here, I didn't have a reservation, but they always try their best to either get us seated at the bar or make things work out for us so that we're not waiting for too long. this place is always busy no matter what time, so let that be a testament to how tasty it is! The restaurant itself is pretty cozy, but it extends a bit into the back for more seating. they play a lot of great music, too! read more

Really delicious pho here at Madame Vo. We ordered the, + summer rolls (Goi Cuon) -- light refreshing, not much flavor + Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy lemongrass broth with meats. It was really delicious not too spicy but very flavorful. The noodles were thicker than o typically like but still a solid soup + Madame Pho with short rib. Their short rib is huge! I didn't get to try it but it looked like it was a fan favorite because many people ordered it around us. + SOTO sake-- delicious and some of the best sake I've ever had would definitely get it again. Our waiter was friendly. Highly recommend booking a reservation so you aren't waiting. The place gets busy. The seating is cozy it's a small restaurant but everyone isn't packed in super tight like sardines. Check it out if in NYC read more

I came here twice, once when I picked up the Vermicelli noodle salad here for dinner and the other for a more sit down experience. The noodle salad I had was honestly delicious, I would highly recommend and it's a great item to get delivered. When my friend and I came here for dine in we shared a Bun Bo Hue, salty limeade, and a chicken wing platter. The wings were coated in this spicy, nutty, garlicky sauce that I still think about. I wish they sold that sauce separately since I would be putting it on everything. The noodle soup had really rich, meaty broth but I do need to come back here to try their actual pho. The soup was good though and I would recommend to those who love a hearty but flavorful bowl of noodle soup. Paired with their salty lime soda, this meal was overall really good! read more

Service: 4.3/5 Food: 4.1/5 friendly staff. surprisingly not packed at 1:30pm on a sunday, the rush came at 2pm. good food, maybe a little pricey. apps are good for sharing. lots of unfamiliar dishes so that helps set it apart from other places. entrance is a little confusing (turn left), unsure why they have the curtain. well lit. What I Ordered: - Madame Wings: crispy, juicy, tender. nuoc mam (fish sauce) wasn't overpowering - Muc Rang Muoi: slightly overdone- a little chewy, otherwise good, we'll seasoned + good sauce - Bánh Bot Chien: unique + underwhelming, just pan fried rice cakes w sausage. not very cohesive - Tet Noodles: sweet, good amount of crab meat, still a little overpriced, shrimp was slightly overdone - Bun Bo Hue: well seasoned w good noodles, includes Cha Lua (Vietnamese sausage) which adds authenticity. only complaint being it had too much flavors going on read more

First time eating at a Vietnamese restaurant. Needed some guidance ordering. Waitress incredibly kind, generous with her time and willingness to help. Ordered the Madame Wings (spicy) and the rice cakes served with fish sauce for appetizers. Then for main dish I had the Bun Bo Hue (spicy) and my husband had the Com Suon Nuong (pork chop with rice). Great food. Casual place. Wonderful waitress. Of course we ordered drinks. And since it was our anniversary I ordered the "Yes, Honey". Seemed appropriate and was very good. Enjoy! read more

I visited mid-day and was able to get seated right away. More spacious than I anticipated, but restaurant has a modern, elevated feel. I don't think that I'll ever run into a Vietnamese restaurant in NYC that matches the San Jose or Santa Ana Vietnamese food scene. Madame Vo, however, will do just fine. Bun Bo Hue was decent and I could eat this again (and again). Probably doesn't have as much as the kick as other Bun Bo Hues. I was a little surprised to see that they had Nem Nuong spring rolls on the menu. Nem Nuong is Vietnamese pork sausage. Their approach to Nem Nuong was really good and I was tempted to order another round. read more

Average Vietnamese food. Portions are a little small, especially for the hu tieu chay & garlic noodle, which also tasted pretty much the same. They have some fun drinks.

I love it here! The wait staff is so friendly and nice and very welcoming. I ordered the pan fried rice cake and the green papaya salad. This was by far the best green papaya salad I've ever had. It had an interesting umami to it that I've never had in any other green papaya salad. The rice cakes were such a nice surprise, I loved the egg in it. It came with a dipping sauce which was delicious, it didn't need the sauce, but was ten fold better with it. Will keep coming back here! read more

My friend and I decided to do a LES girls day out and coming here for lunch, did not disappoint! We were in love by the beautiful photos of the dishes but not ready to make choices, lol. We walked into a serene, modern, and svelte (yes, I know its usually a word to describe people) space, and instantly we're seated at a cute table. Glacing around the room, all the dishes looked amazing, and that sent the two of us in a tailspin, lol. The service was excellent, as the gent that waited on us was friendly and incredibly helpful in assisting us to narrow down our choices, grounding us both. I went with the garlic noodles with Vietnamese Iced coffee and my friend had the grilled chicken vermicelli noodle bowl with a glass of wine. Our dishes came out hot, fragrant and well plated. The flavors were fantastic and the dishes were filling. I know I will be back if I'm in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered the the Madame Pho and added the short rib. I personally felt the pho was subpar and fell short of expectations - the broth wasn't very well seasoned and didn't have the sweetness or saltiness I usually look for. It tasted more like plain bone broth unless you season it yourself. The short rib however was amazing - very soft, tender, and fell apart easily. I also felt the portion size of the pho, especially the noodles given didn't quite justify the price. Service 5/5 - They checked in on us consistently and asked if we needed anything else. read more

Madame Vo - The Madame Pho with short rib - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

We made a reservation for 3 people at 7pm, but we actually got hungry early and decided to eat around 5:45 when they opened. The staff was very friendly and easily accommodated this change! The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and it looks like seating and tables extend pretty far back. There's also a bar up front. I ordered the garlic noodles and my friends both got the Madame Pho (one with the added short rib). Service was super quick! The garlic noodles were savory with a bit of sweetness as well; I think other reviews have mentioned it is similar to pad thai, and I think I'd agree with that. I really liked it and I think it was a good portion size for one person. My friends enjoyed their pho both with and without the short rib. read more

This might be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I've been here at least three times bringing different people that come to visit because I know that they will fall in love with it too. It's definitely not your classic Vietnamese restaurant, it is more of an elevated Vietnamese vibe. For an appetizer, we got the BANH BOT CHIEN, which is pictured below with the sauce and chilis on it. The dish is rice cakes with eggs, scallions topped with fried garlic, diced sausage, cilantro, fresno chilis, and fish sauce is given on the side (which is good because my bf isn't a huge fan of fish sauce even though I'm obsessed with it). I didn't know what to expect when we ordered this, but wow my mind was blown. The rice cakes are crispy and carry all the toppings really well. I got the vermicelli bowl pictured below. The lemon grass beef is DELICIOUS - so tender, so flavorful - kinda feels like butter in your mouth. The portion is great. Other dishes I've had before: Tet noodles (Egg noodles stir fried with garlic butter fish sauce, topped with lump crab meat & prawns) - these are a must get if its your first time, the madame pho (Beef broth simmered for 24 hours with rice noodles, eye of round, brisket, meatball topped with cilantro, onions & scallions), and the banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe with sautéed shrimp & pork belly. Served with fish sauce) - FYI the crepe is HUGE lol definitely could be your main or needs to be split with multiple people. The staff is super friendly and if you have any questions or want suggestions they will not guide you wrong! read more

Pricey yet decent quality Vietnamese food. Some of the appetizers were the same price as the entrees, which I found a displeasing. I've been feeling a little extra lethargic and down lately because of SAD and the influx of the more harsher end of the NYC winter, but the bowls of soup here warmed both my tummy and spirits. BBH was a little more on the tomato-side than I prefer but was still tasty. I wish there was more of a spicy and sour element to it that I'm used to back home in California. The Pho here is tasty! I was pleasantly surprised when my request for extra fat for my soup was accommodated by the kind staff member taking my order. If you want your soup to have more of a beefy edge to it I would highly recommend asking for their "nuoc beo," or literally translated to "fat water," on the side. This is essentially the extra fat they skim off when they're cooking the pho. I noticed that they kind of skimp on the noodles here. Great for someone who favors broth but for me, a noodler, it didn't hit the mark. Limeade was delish and tasted fresh and lightly salted--a perfect accompaniment to the saltiness of the soups. Overall, good Việthames's soups that have a more elevated price tag. I'm not sure if it's entirely worth the price, but if I were to be in the area I may drop by. read more

Honestly Madame Vo was just okay, and I think I might prefer Monsieur Vo more. I came back recently for the first time in years to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was decent, but nothing to write home about. The appetizers we ordered (soft shell crab, madame wings) were good & had shareable portions. I enjoyed the madame wings a bit more - it had a really flavorful sauce. The madame pho was a bit of a letdown. Tasting the broth alone, it's on the blander side and seems to lack the depth of flavor and a bit of salt. Adding lime and using the hoisin/sriracha definitely helped, but I wouldn't be craving pho from here anytime soon. Portions for the pho were good - our table seemed quite full from the pho. A highlight for me was their housemade soda, which comes in either lychee or passionfruit. I enjoyed both flavors! Service is really kind & attentive! We brought a cake here, & please note there is a $3/pp cake fee. Overall, pricier vietnamese food for mostly the aesthetics. Can definitely find tastier pho options elsewhere. read more

Easily made a reservation for 2 on a Thursday night and it was super packed but got seated immediately. I grew up in San Jose so the Vietnamese food was always the best and couldn't find a place in New York that would compare. I got the vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken and it was honestly amazing. The grilled chicken was flavorful, the noodles and veggies were fresh and the portion was pretty big. I loved the fish sauce they used and it was the right amount of flavor. My friend got the madame pho and his broth was also good but I definitely liked mine more. Would come back just for the vermicelli bowl! read more
