The service here is great! All the workers were very kind and friendly. The overall ambiance feels home-y and I especially love that they are a 24-hour spot. The food is pretty good too! New York pho isn't usually very good, but mama pho has a solid bowl of pho. It's a bit oily compared to other spots I've been, but was tasty nonetheless.

interesting concept here: there's a button on the tables that you press when you need your server... very convenient! the pho here is flavorful, well-balanced in terms of ingredients, and comes with the standard sides: thai basil, sprouts, jalapeños, etc. really enjoyable ambiance: dark-lit rooms, lots of plants that give the restaurant a bohemian feel, and fairly clean.

I come to this spot a few times after long nights out or if I need to make it to bushwick but need some pho on an odd hour! I have a few experiences here but the last one was so bad I had to make a review. Originally coming here after nights in Bushwick was great and we got good service with curing pho and amazing sandwiches. 4am is a great time to come here along with the day after on a Sunday mid day afternoon when you're hung over and need life. We have ordered the banh mi before and the ribeye pho countless times. We see the same workers all the time and while they can't speak too much English they try their best and usually food comes at the table at the correct time and Thai tea tastes fine! I recently went during peak hours because I went to rave at an early show after Illenium (12am) - popular dj for the Asian crowd and we found practically half the restaurant came from the same place and on top of that it was already busy and people were already upset at the service. There were so many people lined up and upset when we got in that I was quite overwhelmed already. Since we all went out we were quite tired and hungry so I think we ordered the mama pho, ribeye pho, Thai tea bubble tea, spring rolls and summer rolls. Pretty easy order but this time one of the spring rolls were frozen cold so we had to send it back to them but nobody answered our bell on the table. The Thai bubble tea really lacked any flavor and the bubbles were atrocious - I don't recommend. We asked the two Asian people who look like they're supervising for help but they didn't seem to care about helping us and try to redirect us to the workers which were the same 3 we always see. It made me sad to see one of the workers were going to cry when we needed to exchange a few things and asked for a new drink because it tasted like no flavor. On top of that we also ordered the Mango salad which seemed to take up most of their time and it came beautifully crafted. So I think that took up a lot of time so if you need to order the mango salad I suggest you have an extra hour to wait. The ribeye pho and summer rolls came out super fast while the mama pho came out much later which made our friends really upset because they were super hungry at this point and we had no napkins or chopsticks. I think this place definitely needs more workers during peak time. I was honestly so sad about the workers and how they're being treated at this establishment I sort of don't really want to support this place anymore. The people supervising didn't lift up a finger even when workers were about to cry or lose it from the amount of people coming in I really think they make enough money for more people. It's open 24 hours and food here is quite expensive we literally pay almost 20 dollars for a bowl of pho. The pho quality is fine and I think that it's not a bad choice after a long night out but I would suggest to treat the workers kindly.

Ordered chicken pho via doordash because I was sick. This is the first time I've ever seen braised chicken used in pho vs a more neutral flavored chicken breast. Not a fan, it's too salty and the texture of the fat was so off it was inedible. The broth alone wasn't bad, but not that great either.

24 hours...again 24 hours...This God Send of a location is clutch for winter night especially for first responders. The broth is so damn delicious, the meat is cooked amazingly, the seafood cooks in the solid broth. I couldnt eat it all and I was craving it after being full. I will be back to tey the bowls and rolls. Im drolling about the broth right now. Some pho places have no flavor and you have to add ...this place ..no its just fine with no add on. They have veggie and plenty of meat options . The location is perfectly cozy and big. I'm legit anticipating my next day here. Definitely go.

After going to a concert in Bklyn with my son and daughter, he recommended we hit up the late-night pho at Mama Pho. So good. I love that it's open all night. The tofu banh mi is also killer.

Katherine G.

As soon as you come in you can sit and scan a QR code and order. They had good music playing and you can see the cooks doing their thang. The PORTIONS ARE HUGE SO YOU BETTER BRING AN EMPTY STOMACH WITH YOU. I had a tofu banh mi sandwich and a vegetable pho the wait wasn't too long and I couldn't believe my eyes! The sandwich was amazing and comes with a small broth on the side which was different. They had siracha , a thick soy sauce? , and Jamaican red pepper sauce as condiments on the table. I loved how chopsticks and soup spoon was right there with me. The plating was beautiful and the food was great! The chefs there were very helpful and accommodating

They just changed their interior. Now it is much more simple looking when you go inside. There used to be a trendy bamboo seating area by the entrance and it is no longer there. The food is good. I ordered the chicken pho and the spice and seasoning was just right, a hint of spice in the broth to add that zest. The portion was also filling.

Eric K.

This place has the best banh mi in NYC hands down. I had the ham and pate and it was filled with both. The baguette was crispy but also chewy. And the whole thing was HUGE! 10/10

This is the place. I ate the food first. Before i took the pic.

This is a great restaurant. One of the best dining experiences i ever had. Staff was great and welcoming. And the food was real good. And get this. ITS OPEN 24 hours ! What more van you ask for

Nikita I.

Best pho in Brooklyn and I'm very picky... the broths are super flavorful and they have all the choices of meat (tendon, meatball, tripe, etc.) The Mama Pho that has all the meats is big enough for two to share. Even the vegetarian broth is flavor packed. The bahn mi is perfect as well, with pate and pickled vegetables. It's a huge sandwich for only ~$10. They recently redecorates and the vibe is chill and soothing. I'm pretty convinced anything on their menu would be great at this point.

This places is great! I love pho so being able to find a pho spot close to me is amazing! I order the dumplings which were delicious they're steamed and you can get either 2 or 4 they were very delicious and the dip it came with was so good ! I also tried their Thai iced tea with bubble and it was super yummy not too sweet very delicious! I ordered their Ryb eye steak pho it was delicious you get a great portion for the price and it was filling not too heavy either for the broth sometimes I have pho and I be stuffed bc of how heavy the broth is but this was great. The service was amazing and fast they bring everything to your table. And the inside was super clean and pretty the way it was set up loved it here will be coming back for more pho now that I know it's located walking distance from me. read more

I'm from South Brooklyn. Came up North to visit some shops and enjoy a casual rainy Sunday. Decided we wanted Pho around the area and found Mamas. The Interior is alright. I sat in the back with all the greens, etc. I don't hate it but I also don't really like it. Had the Mama Pho. Broth was decent, but it was loaded with protein which I really appreciate. Papaya Salad was decent. Missing some spice. Not bad tho. Overall, decent experience. Would I come back? Nah. read more

I know this operates mostly as a take-out restaurant right now (February 2022) but you can still dine in. I had a great experience eating in today. Yes the pho is still served in a paper bowl for now and the utensils are disposable, but I'm sure that will change with time as Coronavirus becomes less severe. Don't be afraid to stop in for lunch or dinner if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to sit down for pho. The rib eye pho was excellent and the indoor vibes are not bad at all. It felt warm and cozy. If you are very hungry definitely get the "big bowl" of pho for an extra $3. I would absolutely come back here if I were in the area, and probably order take out. But dining in for pho is by far my favorite choice. The fact that this restaurant is open 24/7 is absolutely incredible. read more

One of they few Pho restaurants in Williamsburg. Avoid dining in because you'll get the same experience if you took the food to go. They are operating as a take out place, so your experience will not differ. The broth was flavorful, the noodles were of perfect consistency, and the meat was not overdone. The only issue I had was the portion size. The food was gone in two bites, so the value isn't there. You might need two order two or three portions to call it a meal. Might come back when they up their portions. read more

LITERALLY A CRAP SHOOT. *delivery review* They say you get a following from consistency, and you can see that (or the opposite of that) in effect here, because the product is great but the execution is poor. The pho is GREAT during the day. Really great broth and the noodles are cooked to the right point for delivery and self-heated broth (they say that you're supposed to reheat the broth on their site). But if you order something like ribeye and brisket, you might get two slivers of rib eye and a ton of chewy ol' brisket. You would THINK you'd get the normal rib eye order and an additional order of brisket, since you paid an ADDITION. But nah. If you order past, I don't know, 11pm, you'll get whatever they want to give you in exchange for things, because apparently instead of changing the menus in late night, they take your money and just decide to give you whatever they have. Change your menu for late night!!!!!!! I am sure the people that work for you don't like getting calls for botched orders when they're not equipped to fulfill them! This is an example of good food with bad management and care. read more

My experience at this restaurant is actually a zero out of 5 the server was extremely rude after receiving my order which I realized was wrong he insisted that it wasn't wrong and decided to start huffing and sighing and having an attitude when I asked him to change it. He continued to show me the receipt of my order, insisting that no this is exactly what I ordered when I told him over and over that it wasn't I was extremely patient because the food did take a long time to come out but I was understanding of the wait time. Another party at the restaurant had the same issue with him when he insisted that their order was correct, and indeed was wrong. He was telling the parties that no this is what you ordered. I didn't eat the food because it wasn't my correct order and I ask for a refund and he continued to have an attitude. I don't recommend this restaurant at all because the customer service is bottom tier, and the wait time is extremely long. read more

Omg. We've ordered Mama pho dozens of times from different locations and our past 2 apartments have been near them and it's always been good to great. Tonight was the worst. If I hadn't had meals before I would be leaving 1 star. We ordered and it came and we got everything together and um... I've never eaten frostburnt noodles before but the noodles they send were clearly improperly stored in dry air that wasn't vacuum sealed and frozen in a bad way. I looked it up and it is food safe but OH MY GOD it tasted horrible. I took a bite of my husbands after I took my noodles out (he had left his in) and I couldn't even take a bite of it.

My goodness, where to start? Hands down, this is the best pho I've had in NY. I've tried Nha Trang One in Chinatown and Mama Pho blows this place outta the water. The broth is SUPER flavorful and beefy. You know it's good when you save the broth for later and the fat becomes super solid. They give plenty of meat. Meat to noodle ratio is on point. Even the meatballs are to die for. The best thing? It's open 24/7. If you're looking for pho, this place should be your #1 pick. read more

Food: 4/5 Their pho is delicious. The broth might be one of the best I've ever had. You have the option to add bone marrow, tripe, etc or anything else of your liking. The broth is very rich and full of flavor. This place is called Mama Pho for a reason. Get their pho. Everything else on the menu is sub par. Service: 5/5 The small Asian lady working here is very nice and sweet. She's very accommodating and attentive. Ambiance: 3/5 The establishment is pretty small.

Unfortunately their quality has really taken a turn for the worst. My boyfriend and I have been loyal customers for the past year and sometimes we'd even order twice a week! The portion has dramatically changed since we first discovered this place. For the past couple of months, we've noticed the portion changes but stuck with it anyway because their broth does something to my soul. But, today I ordered the Mama Pho which comes with beef balls, tripe, beef shin, marrow, and ribeye. What I received was just ribeye and the noodles. The beef shin is in the soup. Also it seems the noodle portion is getting smaller while the bean sprout portion is growing. A bit disappointed as this really used to be our favorite place. read more

I got the classic bunh mi has a soup as a side, my wife got the pho with rib eye. It felt more fusion, my soup was straight pepper water. The bunh mi was not the usual, it was stuff with roast pork and ham which I knew. The pho was not as strong as a regular pho, the noodle was tough & the meat wasn't as tender as the authentic pho. They do have a bathroom and it's decent. I would not go back as it didn't taste good, because I rather leave half of the bunh mi than to take it home. For the price, you could have gotten authentic pho that taste good and have extra money for coffee. read more

I think NYC must have lacking Vietnamese food. I don't think I've ever had amazing Eden Center or Los Angeles level Vietnamese. Anyways I ordered "noodle salad" (bun) and I seriously got like maybe 1/3 cup of noodles and 4 shrimp. It's a noodle-based dish, so I'm unsure of why there were basically no noodles. They also charge you for extra fish sauce (weird theft flex because a giant bottle is like 2 dollars.) So, overall not good. Please let me know where the good Vietnamese is around here and not the white people, tiny portion stuff. Craving a huge dish of luscious noodles. read more

Easily the worst Vietnamese food I've ever eaten. Completely flavorless. The meat was over cooked and yet somehow still very fatty.

I really like good pho so this place is did not have really good pho but it's not too horrible. Their pho is also pre-made with everything already in the bowl. I like having the beansprouts, basil and jalapeños etc on the side because I like adding it in myself. What is nice is that they have a lot of different options for people. My friend that I went with does not eat beef and pho is usually with beef. This place had a lot of seafood, veggie and chicken options for her. Their menu is also very interesting and has many non-generic ways to eat pho. There was a sautéed pho option which seemed very interesting to me. read more

As a Vietnamese person, don't understand why this place has bad reviews. This is the only good pho spot I've found in NY, and it has all the goodies: tendon, tripe, marrow - yum. The broth has also been consistently flavorful as well, and the best thing is that they provide culantro (not to be mistaken with cilantro). I think my only gripe is that for the price, there could be more beansprouts and greens without the additional $. But NY rent is no joke. read more

Too expensive for no reason. Their broth that they boast about is sub-par, at best. Their sandwiches have very little meat and their try to overcompensate this by filling it with way more radishes than a banh mi calls for. Baguettes are hard as a rock and they still choose to serve them. I've been waiting to review this place for a while since I wanted to give them a chance, but when I went in and asked if I could have extra cilantro on one banh mi, and no cilantro on a 2nd banh mi-- they told me there would be an extra charge.... Where's the logic in that? I proceeded to just order the regular amount on each, went home, and had to pick out the cilantro myself from one sandwich to place it on the other. Overall, would not recommend to others. Go a few blocks further and grab something from the hole-in-the-wall spot, Nam Nam instead. read more

Thought I would leave a positive review as I got the chicken pho and fresh rolls last night on a recommendation from my Filipino friend and it was really good. The broth was delicious and helped me recoup after feeling generally queasy the past few days--so big thank you Mama Pho. Chicken was yummy and fresh. Lots of herbs. The service was great too for late night delivery. To be fair the fresh rolls were not my favorite but not worth avoiding by any means--they just go a little too heavy on the veggie stuff in my opinion so I felt it was a little bland. But that being said I got a tofu roll so it's probably my fault. Definitely will order again though. Comforting. read more

Swallow Cafe

Swallow Cafe makes a potent cup of coffee with an industrial Brooklyn vibe. The service is direct,…read moreblunt, and they cuss freely. But they also LOVE their regulars, kids and pups alike, and make sure the delivery guys get a warm cup too. Prices fair for Brooklyn. Menu includes pastries, Bagelsmith bagels, hot chocolate, chai, tea, and matcha. Coffee is Counter Culture. There are seats for about 25-30 people and most tables have outlets. Lighting is a little dim and moody. They are more laptop friendly than other shops in the area and have free wifi. Note that you have to climb stairs to get into the shop, so it's not ADA or stroller friendly.

The coffee here is more simplistic, but that's because the flavor is in the bean itself, not in all the sugary additives that you get at most cafes. This is more for the purists, and I love that. Funny enough, I can't drink a ton of caffeine as I'm sensitive, but their decaf espresso had a ton of depth. It made me actually enjoy sipping and savoring. The sparkling water that comes along side your drink wakes up the senses in between sips, and I found that oddly refreshing. It made each sip taste like the first. Aaron and the other staff were super friendly too. I enjoyed sipping and reading during my stay. It made for the perfect recharge. Hope this helps!

There's the main seating area and then two offshoot lounges, which aren't quite as cozy but offer different levels of quiet and ambience. I love all the random décor, antique signs, old arcade games as tables, a million lamps. It's like what nook is going for but you can actually sit down on a comfy couch most of the time. The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.

PHO is disgusting and so is the service. Th guy with the glasses is very rude and gave me attitude for just asking a simple question? He knows nothing about service like who gives water in a dirty glass and gets a attitude about it? Also i heard the guy talk crap in CHINESE not VIETNAMESE about the couple with the little kid in front of me to someone i think is the head cook that smelled like liquour by the way and also say something rude about me that i wish to not repeat out of disgust. The worst miserable rude server and counter person i have yet to encounter in my life. Why you yelling at your customers like they are beneath you? Don't blame your customers because your life is miserable? I also peaked into the back out of curiosity and benefit of the doubt that they were clean but it was soooo dirty back there like they never clean or something, I saw some indian guy pour a very very large bucket of what i know is MSG into the PHO stock which is outrageous and cheap which explains the taste!!! The meat tastes a week old and microwaved and freezer burnt. If i was the owner i would fire the guy in the front cause he is hurting your business and losing your customers. Yes i told the couple what you said also you racist ass!!!! Overall I would go back to give it a second try but i will not be going back there because of the ass in the front.Maybe if hes not there ill try it again since who can be worse than him, right? If my boyfriend sees the guy with glasses outside he will have a little talk about his manners on how to treat women and children!!! I hope the and the owners read this cause the place has some potential to be a low key summer roll spot which was the only thing that was decent. read more

I work for a Restaurant and try to always have an open mind when eating other restaurants food. When there is a mishap with food or delay I always approach the situation with an understanding. However, I have tried this place a total of three times and been disappointed. This third time is my final time. I want local restaurants to survive and be supported but there is only so many times. Order the Lemongrass pho and Bon mi sandwich. All three times the following. Food is delivered iced cold and the veggies are welted. When asking to speak to a manager there is never one to get on the phone and staff handles guest resolution. I am told the following, " These items are sent cold and that you are suppose to heat them up" folks not making this up.. Twice I had to complain to Grub hub and the "manager" of the restaurant gave me 20% off my orders. Kinda gesture but I was only seeking to be heard and to the establishment to take ownership. Sending out cold food, soup during the colder months is just ridiculous. read more

Ordered some food online... 30min later (about the time the food was supposed to be delivered), I got a call from a woman who tells me that they have to cancel the order, then she changes her mind and says she was going to call us back. 20 min after that, we gets a call from a man who says that they ran out of bread, and asked if we want to substitute our sandwiches to something else. We tell him that soup/pho would be fine. We mention that it looks like the order is canceled on Seamless and we recommend him to call Seamless to fix the situation. He says ok and tells us our food should be on our way soon. 30min later (or almost 1hour and half after our initial order), still no food. We call them back, and the man say that the order was canceled. No apologies, no real explanation. Very inconsiderate people. Never again. read more

I'm just so fed up with ordering from this place. They have screwed up so many countless times ie forgetting straws with bubble tea portions of orders running out of half the menu....... pretty crucial stuff. The girl who works in the front is beyond incompetent it's border line comical she's had a job longer than a month let alone the past three years? She must be sleeping with the Mgmt or works for no pay. In conclusion I have no idea how a business like this stays afloat with out old money compensating for these owners idiocy! The food has fallen off so far in the last few years. Fire some ppl kick in some doors take some names do what ever you need to do to get this place back on track. read more

I never write reviews and I wish I can leave a review regarding the food but my exp. was unacceptable. Ordered on Grubhub and after 45 minutes, Grubhub called me to tell me that my order has been canceled. Restaurant didn't even have the decency to call me when they received the order to let me know they cannot fulfill the order. Than for some reason, I tried to leave a review to warn other customers on Grubhub but for some reason, it does not allow me. I wish there was an option to leave negative stars because that's what they deserve. read more
