You know the food is gonna be good when the reviews are mainly low because of the service. 10/10 food. No notes to be honest. I'm viet and this place is legit. The pho is bomb. Ngon qua if you know what I mean. The com ga/suong nuong is also really flavorful and well prepared. My absolute personal favorite is the bun bo hue, real knows real. It's delicious here. The service as many complain about is as usual as any other delicious tasting Asian restaurant. They know their food is good so what else is left to say. 10/10 no notes read more

Fast service. Delicious food. Authentic Vietnamese flavors. You pay and tip up at the front desk. The Canh Chua Ca (choice of salmon or catfish) is very nice but this is more of a dish to share. It won't fill you. It's a bit random they give you a bowl of rice with this. The rice is not needed. It's a soup. read more

Haven't been here in a while and this cold day was perfect for some hot soup! I had the beef and brisket Pho. We arrived after lunchtime and there were a few tables seated. Our server took our order and our food didn't take very long to come out. The pho was very hot and we were served bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime and hot peppers on the side. There was hot chili oil on the table. The broth was full of flavor and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. I added the basil, the bean sprouts and just a little chili oil. There is a lower price for cash, that was nice and the gentleman (owner?) at the counter explained they added a 15% tip to the bill. read more

We've been to this restaurant twice, and on the whole our experience was disappointing on both occasions. The pho was okay, but was obviously not made in the traditional fashion... I could make it better myself. The cha gio also were okay, but I've had better. As others have mentioned, there could have been more filling as the rolls were a little on the skimpy side for the price. And don't even get me started on the ca phe sua da. This was by far the worst version of Vietnamese iced coffee I've ever had. It's made in advance, not fresh at the table as it should be, and taste like old socks. Stick to tradition please; it's traditional for a reason. As it stands now, well probably not be returning to this establishment. Maybe if they had more competition they would be inclined to make better food, until then, dam biet mai mai. read more

New Century is our go to for Vietnamese food even though we live wicked close to another very popular restaurant lol. We mostly do take out and never had an issue. A couple months ago my husband and I decided to stop in for lunch. The service is the same as I remembered, leaves not much to be desired. It's not the best but not horrible, just meh. But the food is always outstanding. Favorite Items to order: Appetizers: Ginger Chicken Wings #4 (my little one's favorite) Spring Rolls #6 - Spring rolls (2): Steamed Shrimp, Pork, Vermicelli, fresh Lettuce, Bean Sprouts, and Mint wrapped in Rice Paper.

I should have read reviews before, but alas, I did not. Like another reviewer said, I also appreciate the vegetarian section of the menu but #96 (stir fired noodles) was just ok, half steamed, half stir fried. The portion was large, so I'll be taking half of it home and seasoning it a bit . I really like it that they have Yao's Vietnamese style soy milk and they have fruit shakes (Maybe I'll stop by just to have one!) I might also give the menu another try for one of their noodle soups when the weather is a little cooler. Service was a bit distracted even though they had a stream of customers coming in this Friday afternoon. Side note: they add tips to all bills, doesn't bother me but I know some people are really not into that. read more

The food had incredible flavor, from the subtle flavors of the peanut sauce that was provided for the spring rolls to the incredibly meaty yet light flavor of the pho broth. The servers were prompt in receiving and handing out orders. Incredible home cooked meal feeling in the restaurant would absolutely go back. read more

5/5. Visited the restaurant with my badminton club and are always pleased to be seated and fed quickly. Service is consistently impeccable and friendly. Host is a kind man who prioritizes guests above all else. We ordered 3 #16 (Rare Beef Pho) and one #16 with beef meatballs. Portions are generous, broth was authentic and perfectly balanced, and order comes with a side of bean sprouts, thai basil, peppers, and lime. Phil likes things spicy hot and appreciated the chili oil and siracha at the table. This place has been here for over 20 years and it's clear to see why. This is the best meal I (Phil) have had in Syracuse and recommend to people seeking authentic Vietnamese pho, a hearty warm meal, or anyone looking to try a new cuisine! We recommend bringing cash to avoid the credit card fee read more

My favorite place to get pho in Syracuse. Food is amazing every time. Truly heals the soul.

I appreciated the separate vegetarian section on the menu. We started with the vegetarian egg rolls. They were a bit greasy but I expect that with this sort of thing. For my entree, I ordered #96 vegetarian stir fry noodles. The vegetables tasted like they had been steamed, not fried. The noodles were cooked perfectly. But the entire dish lacked flavor. Seemed like there was no seasoning or sauce to be found. My partner ordered #57 stir fried chicken and vegetables and said the same thing. His veggies were almost all cauliflower chunks, nothing else. And I found the large glass fish-shaped plates to be very off-putting, especially for someone who doesn't eat meat or seafood. Portion sizes were good for the price but I don't think we'll stop in next time we're in town. read more

It absolutely blows my mind that this place is only rated a 4.0 on here. Yelpers are such elitists. That's actually why I even made a yelp. I want to start leaving good reviews for places that deserve. That all being said lets talk about this restaurant! The food is absolutely incredible. They have the best pho that I have ever had and their char pork is to die for. They also have this yummy beef dish that I get to have everytime I bring my friend with me! I have been coming for years and the decor has continued to get better and better. I still remember when it was pretty rough on the inside, but they continue to put more money into making it look better. Not that it matters because its so good! heads up they have easy parking but the lot is small, you might have to park on the street. read more

I have not been here for years. I finally came back because I took a travel assignment in Syracuse. Happy to come back and bring my boyfriend here to try too. It was busy when we went for lunch but was still able to get seated in 10 mins. I love the food here. They are so good. I tried the new century egg rolls and it was really good. I ordered The Bun Bo Hue and loved it. My boyfriend ordered the Vermicelli Bowl but don't know which one and he really enjoys it too. This place has always been my to go to spot on Syracuse. read more

Ordered some pho (#21) take out here today. It was great! There was one piece of meat I didn't care for but that was just a texture thing for me. The flavor was great. I added a bit too many red chili flakes so it was quite spicy. Everything was fresh. It was a huge bowl of pho that kept me satiated for awhile. The inside is a bit run down but perfect for take out. Order was ready right on time. Staff are nice. read more

No service at all. I asked for a small bowl, but no one returned even after I payed the bill.

Excellent food, large portions, great service. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the restaurant or the location. Best Pho I have ever had. Extra charge for charge cards read more

My husband and I got take out from new century a few weeks ago and it was great. The pho was 10/10, we also got this appetizer that was like an egg roll but like nothing we have had before and I could have eaten 50 of them, so good! Definitely recommend trying their food. read more

I am always skeptical of pho restaurants since I've had my grandma's cooking as well as many cheap, delicious authentic places in California. This restaurant was large and clean. For Syracuse, I was so pleasantly surprised. Tried a pho and bun bo hue. Both were large portions and very tasty. I am usually picky about my bun bo hue but everything was cooked correctly with good flavor. Be prepared to pay in cash and service can be a bit slow, but that's how you know the food is good. read more

We eat Vietnamese all the time. our favorite places are Pho 75 in Philadelphia and Pho Saigon in Tannersville, PA but it recently burned down. Other Asians eating here which is always a good sign. very authentic! Food is very good. Pork chop is flattened unlike the other places that give you a unpounded pork chop. Otherwise so good. Spring rolls and summer rolls (vietnamese rolls) we're good. lots of different options and desserts. we came on sunday about 5pm and we had no problem with service. it was not packed. Place needs an update but we don't care. Our favorite Pho place in philly is just folding tables and metal chairs so the decor here was just fine because the food is good. we will definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

I have been coming to this fine establishment since its inception many years ago! Watched it grow into the popular contemporary restaurant it is today! I loved it then and love it still! The food is second to none and you receive it fast and perfectly displayed. The staff is attentive, friendly and efficient! A well-oiled machine. I never leave disappointed only happy, full, and satisfied and anxious to return! When I cannot eat there I take the 35 - 40 minute drive just to get takeout (which is what I did tonight) If you enjoy authentic, not "Americanized" Vietnamese cuisine, you simply MUST go to New Century! You will keep coming back, I assure you... Thank you Leon and staff for all you do to keep my favorite restaurant in the Syracuse area bustling! If I could give you more than 5 stars I would!

Our first time here was a winner. Our daughter used to come here before she moved to Seattle and during a visit home, she took us out for lunch at New Century. Clean, spacious and in a quiet area of the city, we were surprised to find ourselves transported via food to Vietnam. Excellent pho, stir fry and beverages. Service was great. And we were highly encouraged by the number of diners enjoying their meals while we were there. Really great, and a true hidden gem in Syracuse. read more

I'm not an expert on Vietnamese food and I've only had Pho once before while visiting California but this restaurant was recommended by my friend Erica who is also a yelper and I trust her judgement. Well myself and 2 friends went last week on a brisk day after we had walked 2 miles so we were really ready for soup. We were greeted promptly and seated. All 3 of us ordered the Pho with rare steak and had the egg rolls for an appetizer. The egg rolls came out right away and they were really tasty! I could have eaten the whole plate myself but we shared the 5 small egg rolls. The pho came out shortly after with sides of fresh thai basil, spouts, and peppers. The aroma from the soup was amazing and the taste just as good. I have to say it was much better than the Pho I had in California. I'm a spice girl so I loved the spice in the soup. I have to admit I had a hard time with the chop sticks and the noodles but it was quite comical. I also tried the hot Vietnamese coffee and loved it. It was creamy and almost like a hot chocolate. I will definitely be back here. read more

This past Saturday was the first time my husband and I ate in the restaurant and had a nice experience. The food was still just as delicious and the service was efficient and friendly. Love the new century rolls! Wish you could get those everywhere! Picked up takeout here for the first time after reading the yummy reviews. The new century rolls were amazing! Also their regular spring rolls were also good! Loved the lemongrass chicken, very good flavor. Didn't really care for their fresh summer rolls. Not bad but I just have had better. The inside of the restaurant is nothing special but their food is good! Picked up takeout again here since we had gone to a Syracuse Mets game and is just a mile down the road from the stadium! The new century rolls were just as good as the last time and the spring rolls were also still good! Tried #39 and love making my own lettuce wrap, as well as really good sausage and read more

My husband and I have been going to this place since college, so it's about 7 or 8 years by now. It was good food with reasonable price. There's a lot of space for fiend to eat and hangout. It was one of our favorite for many years. But recently, it's all changed. Food is still good, but it's not necessary properly cooked. Husband ordered a cold noodle dish which we almost ordered every time we came in the past. Started of with weird tasting pho - hubby said he tasted residual of dishwasher soap but I just think it tastes weird and powdery. And then found out one of the pork meatball is raw. Boss came over and checked, replaced the raw meatball with two delicious fresh meatballs (I mean this is addictive!). Alright. I thought usually restaurant would replace the whole dish to avoid contamination, but whatever. The noodle tasted super weird anyway, so we did not eat any after discovering the raw meatball. no further harm was done. When we checked out, we learnt that 15% tips has been automatically added to the bill while service is almost not there (you would know what I meant if you've ever been there). I mean, I would of tipping 15% or more anyway, but I don't like to be forced to tip.... That is something new to us, but maybe because we've been ordering takeouts in past couple years. Also, with the raw meat incident, we are charged FULL price for the meal (and forced 15% tips on us). So, although food is still good, it's not irreplaceable in Syracuse (ok, they have the best meatball in the area....). We are probably not gonna be there for a while. I mean, there's nothing special anymore. It just zapped all our favor. read more

Went to Syracuse for lacrosse tournament. We brought sandwiches but we came across this restaurant so we thought why not. They have a good menu options. We want something that we don't normally get so we choose frog legs! We also bought regular combo pho and seafood noodles. My son did not like the seafood noodles. It doesn't taste as good as pho 99, our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in buffalo. Our frog legs is good and spicy but not wow not enough justify the trip there. The rice that came with the frog legs, had some hard pieces. Overall just ok. Would I come back, no , it was too faraway. If I'm on the area, maybe... oh apparently it's cash only? Or maybe the card machine down. Good thing I have enough cash. read more

I'm going to start off by saying that I am new to Syracuse from Atlanta! I had a lot of expectations for new century, due to great reviews/friend recommendations: I came here at noon on Memorial Day (Monday) with my beau who is visiting from SoCal, there were about 15 other patrons when we arrived. The restaurant seems to be employed by the owner and his family. We both ordered a noodle dish: bun dac biet and hu tieu kho. Also an order of NC spring roll. The man who took our order (possibly the owner) was very pleasant and friendly. We were brought our drinks within 5 minutes, however our appetizer took another 20 minutes and our meal another 15. Although that means that the food is freshly made to order, It's a lot of waiting!!! I'm not sure if the bussing cart and the food delivery cart is the same cart or not but it made me a little uncomfortable that there wasn't a clear difference. The rolls were so tasty but. Bit pricey for portion size And size. My vermicelli dish wasn't anything to rave about, the other noodle dish was also mediocre. The cafe sua da was a bit too sweet, upon dilution of the ice melting, it was a little more tolerable. *Water was never refilled Our whole meal cost us $45 Which leads me to 3 stars. The quality of food was not worth the price we paid. But those eggrolls were pretty tasty! read more

The food at this place is incredible but the service has a lot to be desired. I am a regular here but will be no more after today. Don't ask for a table for four if you are a party of 2 even when there are 10 free out of a total 15 tables. The 2s are small and not roomy enough. We have been here before and have had a 4 but for some reason this time they FORCED us into a 2. Then the very young patrons began to cuss and swear at us because I complained about this to the manager and they were not removed. This kind of treatment is not worthy of coming back. I will be eating my last bowl from this place and be visiting the other Pho place It's unfortunate that such a high quality restaurant will lose people because they will not provide good customer service. If I was the dude from DDD I know the service would had been different. read more

This was me second time coming here to dine in. It's a great place to get some authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The prices are slightly on the higher end and they have some dishes that are not commonly seen in other pho restaurants. The new century spring roll is a delicious and is a huge twist from your typical spring roll. The broth for the noodles are full of flavor and is a must have especially for the cold weather. There's plenty of seating inside and when you are done with your meal, you go to the desk at the back of the restaurant to pay. The staff are friendly and quick on their feet. read more

I came here to write that I had the best Bun Dac Biet (rice noodles with spring roll, shrimp, meatball, and shredded pork) I've ever had. This is a huge compliment since I have eaten probably hundreds of Vietnamese rice noodle bowls. This bowl will honor all Vietnamese ancestors LOL. It has lettuce, basil, cilantro, scallions, and a variety of Vietnamese grilled meats mixed with sweet and savory fish sauce. There was only one server and food took about half an hour, but everything was flavorful at New Century Tan The Ky Vietnamese restaurant. The menu has a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and drinks. read more

Favorite restaurant in Syracuse, and still one of my favorite bowls of pho consumed in all of NY state (including back in NYC). After having grown up on copious amounts of legit and tasty Vietnamese food around me in Southern California, I was skeptical when my husband told me that his favorite pho of all time was in his old college town. Now, every time we are in the area, we always make a stop. The portions are gigantic, and maybe I'm used to NYC prices, but it's quite inexpensive. The amount of service (aka minimal) is perfect for the experience I am going for - and that is enjoying my giant bowl of pho in peace. I've tried both the classic Pho Dac Biet (combo with rare steak, meatballs, tendon, and tripe) and Pho Bo Kho (hearty beef stew version, which comes with a generous portion of tender chunks of brisket, tripe, and tendon cooked to the point where all the collagen has turned soft and gelatinous). read more

We decided to try this Vietnamese restaurant while we were in Syracuse. Located in what appeared to be an old bar in what was likely once a blue side of town. Soup sounded pleasant to us at this juncture of our trip. I've had tastier, but the food was authentic, the (Soup Broths) were both delicious. Clear and clean. I had the Beef Pho, and my spouse their Chicken Vegetable Soup. The Spring Rolls were different. There were no crunchy vegetables inside the rolls, which is a preference. Their Peanut Sauce was fantastic. The environment and decor is strange. If you like offbeat and funky, this would be your restaurant. read more

I have been told that this is the best Vietnamese spot in Syracuse. I'm from San Jose, born and raised, and the Vietnamese food there is probably the the best in the nation (alongside Westminster/Orange County). I'm going to judge this place separately from all of those places since folks can't exact choose between this place and a restaurant in San Jose. PROS -huge menu that offers many dishes including vermicelli bowls, smoothies, pho, spring rolls, egg rolls, rice plates, and much more -large restaurant -pho broth was great -food arrived in a timely manner CONS -limited parking -workers don't talk to you or greet you (which isn't too unusual for a Vietnamese place) -the com dac biet (combination rice plate) didn't have as many meat types as most do (ex: shrimp, thit nuong (beef, pork), chicken -less meat in the pho tai nam than other places -interior isn't very appealing. The restaurant layout is strange -New Century egg rolls were just ok. They are special because instead of wonton paper roll on the outside, they used this stringy rice paper wrap instead -fresh spring rolls had no mint read more
