Takeout, lamb fried rice.
Mike C.

Went around 5:30pm and was not busy at all. Very quick, and friendly service. Ordered takeout but might try sit down next time. The lamb fried rice was flavorful and delicious. The signature beef pho was also good, and tasty broth but the brisket was a little on the chewy side...nice, thinly sliced pieces but still a little too chewy for me. Might pay more and try the beef short rib pho next time.

Signature beef pho
Anna L.

3.5 stars Halal pho restaurant located in a strip mall with a small menu of pho, rice, and appetizers. The staff/owner is actually Chinese and not Vietnamese. The beef pho was ok but a tad on the sweet side. I also had the chicken wings but didn't enjoy them. There was too much breading and the meat itself was bland/dry. The sauce was a bit too cloyingly sweet and tangy. It was interesting that the fortune cookies also had arabic on them.

Cumin Lamb Fried Rice to go
Chun M.

This little corner in the back of the Electchester mall is pretty busy with this new sleeper Vietnamese restaurant. My son found this place a few months ago on social media and the word has gotten out because there are plenty of people dining in, while hunched over steaming bowls of Vietnamese noodles. My first time was for takeout but we decided to dine in to try out more of the menu. There are not a lot of menu items, but what they do have, they do well. The Peppered Calamari is easily the best dish. The breading has great seasoning with a satisfying crunch, while the squid rings are both tender and have a pop when you bite into them. Swish them in the spicy/sweet dipping sauce and I was sad when the last ring was gone. My son and I both got the Signature Beef Pho, which was decent sized with plenty of slices of eye round & brisket. I like that they put in plenty of green onions and cilantro and also give you a side plate of bean sprouts, fresh basil, sliced jalapenos & lime wedges to garnish to your liking. My wife got the Curry Chicken & Rice with a big mound of fragrant Jasmine rice. The chicken though was diced very small and the potatoes were kind of mushy, but with good flavor. I had gotten the Cumin Lamb Fried Rice last time for takeout and it was super flavorful and spicy and maybe a little overseasoned. If you like the taste of cumin and lamb, this is a great dish. The parking lot is large and busy by the entrance from Jewel Ave, but just go to the back where the restaurant is and there are plenty of open spots. They used to charge to park in here and you had to get your ticket validated at each store, but now the gates are wide open and you can come and go as you please.

Beef banh mi

After having a great meal at the newly opened New York Pho House in Bayside, I was excited to try their original location. We arrived around lunch time on a Sunday and the restaurant was empty. The menu here is more extensive than Bayside but we opted for their classics - Beef short rib pho and beef banh mi. The pho came out first and the short rib was huge. They even gave us a pair of scissors to cut the beef. The short rib was quite tender and cooked well but a bit too heavy after a few bites. The broth was saltier than the Bayside location but still hit the spot. The beef banh mi was decent as the veggies brought it to life. The bread didn't taste like it was freshly baked, which is a make or break for me. Overall, it was a pretty unsatisfying meal but I am interested in seeing if their lamb fried rice is good.

Beef rib pho

Came here to try their original location after trying their latest location and while this location offers more menu items, the items here didnt exactly blow me away. Ordered their banh mi and their beef rib pho, banh mi is a definite skip, everything that makes for a good banh mi, such as great bread, good filling, they completely miss, what I got instead was stale ish bread, pickled vegetables and a mystery meat patty, not exactly appetizing. The bone rib pho was, okay. The rib meat was a bit tough and a little on the bland side, but the broth was good and portions decent. The best thing about this pho franchise honestly is the broth for their pho, otherwise there is nothing really standout about it and only warrants a visit if youre really really in the mood for pho

Took over Kobe Ramen a couple months ago. It is in a shopping center, so there's a parking lot. They have a lot of seating, and I saw a lot of takeout orders. They are halal, so if that's a dietary restriction for you, this is the place to go. The service is helpful and friendly. We were sharing everything, so they brought us out bowls to share. The Beef Pho had a flavorful broth, though a little on the salty side. The meat was a bit overdone. Everything else had a good bite. The Peppered Calamari is peppered indeed. I love the fish sauce/sweet & sour dip, which balances the friedness. The calamari was good quality. The Cumin Lamb Fried Rice a bit dry too, but good flavor. I heated up the leftovers with a splash of water and it was less dry. Maybe add some broth to this if you get the pho too. The Thai Iced tea is well balanced, a little sweet for me, but that was expected. Got a fortune cookie at the end of the meal, which was nice. Everything came out pretty quick, so definitely a good spot to hit for a quick tasty meal.

Service is hit or miss - I came in early on and they do move you around sometimes while eating to adjust the seating. The quality is great and this time service was fast. Big supporter of unique halal spots and so happy to have this in queens.

This place is a great example of "not judging a book by its cover" The parking lot is large and busy, and you'd never think there was a restaurant here you'd want to visit. lol. I heard good things about this place. So, I Stopped in to grab pho to go. I got the Short rib pho. I also got the lamb sewers. The Short rib pho was so good. I love how they put everything in separate containers so it doesn't get the noodles mushy. The skewers were good. I wished i had time to sit there and dine in. The place has a nice vibe. I will definitely be back!

This has become a staple on my lunch break! I absolutely love this place and without exaggeration - it is hands down the BEST pho I've ever had. The flavor of the broth is so delicious. I love that the rice noodles aren't overcooked, the beef is tender, and the portion is very decent size. They put just the right amount of cilantro. The summer rolls are good too. I love the thai iced tea as well, it is sweet but a nice treat once in a while. On top of having amazing food - the service is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. The inside looks great and is very clean. I truly enjoy going in here and I'm happy this place took over. I hope it stays!! The only thing I wish is that they delivered!

Pho

I was hungry and I was craving for pho so I was looking around in the area of kew garden since I was in that area. I am always down to try new pho spots and this spot was the perfect spot because it has high rating in yelps and it will be new to me. Place looks clean and presentable when I walked in. The waiting staffs are very attentive. I ordered the biggest pho . When it came I notice the lemon was dry... the jalapeño were also a bit old, and they barely gave any bean sprouts .... Then I start devouring the pho and I notice the broth was amazing ... before you know not I finished the whole bowl and I am still hungry.. then I notice the portion they gave us extremely small... for a bowl costs $17...

I ordered the lamb fried rice and unfortunately didn't enjoy it. The Vietnamese coffee wasn't great either. That said, I'd probably go back to give their pho a try.

Calamari
Raina R.

This place has the most amazing service. Our waitress was super attentive and polite. The food also came to our table fairly quickly. On a rainy day, the pho was nice, warm, and filling. This place did not disappoint.

The Thai tea and Pho I got here was pretty reasonably priced and delish but I'm almost certain the food poisoning I got was from here:(

The sandwich was good overall, crispy and light flavor, quiet mild in taste actually. The patty was thin but was thick in some parts. I felt like the chicken was good quality. The lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh and brightened the sandwich. The onion rings were too crispy and had no onion in them. They were mostly round shells. They offered to change them for something else but I declined. My main concern is how food is being handled. Most employees had gloves on but were touching all the surfaces with the gloves on and then handling food. All employees were struggling with the order screen and kept touching the screen and then handling the food. I understand that kitchens get busy but there should be better training for using the order system and a better way for them to communicate the orders. Orders were taking longer than expected despite a small crowd. Customer service is friendly. This place is decent but needs some refinement. One smaller detail they can upgrade the brand of condiments they are using.

I thought this place was really cool. You get the impression that it's going to mix halal food with…read moreMexican food together. It's actually separate. They have one side of the menu where it's more gyro and Halal options, and the other side has Mexican food options. The flavor was really good. The best part was that they had at least four different styles of chicken to choose from including spicy, classic and jerk seasoning. The staff was really friendly and quick about preparing food. The restaurant itself is small, but has ample seating. I would go here again and also recommend it.

Decided to stop here since my brother was visiting, and it was close to his hotel. He came past…read more10pm, so it's convenient that they are open late. One thing that makes them stand out is that they offer both Mediterranean and Mexican food, but as two separate menus instead of fusion. We both ordered from the halal Mediterranean side. Not pictured was my lamb gyro platter with rice, lettuce, tomato, white sauce, and hot sauce. The sauces were really good and the meat itself was flavorful and hot, although mine wasn't fresh off the flat top since I got the last batch from under the heat lamp. The platter also came with a small serving of curly fries, which is unexpected and not "traditional"but a unique twist. My brother got the lamb gyro and their "messy fries". We also shared the banana pudding. His gyro was fresh off the grill and he said it was great. Food overall was really good. Seating inside is limited and pretty cramped, so we ended up taking it back to the hotel. The tables were clean and the staff was friendly. Only small complaint is they should either ask if customers need utensils before leaving or have them easily available since having to go back disrupts the flow a bit when it's busy. Overall, I give this place a solid 4 stars. If all the proteins were consistently served fresh, I probably would've given it 5 stars. No major complaints though, just a few things that could be improved.

My friends and I tried to hit up this place a couple of months ago, but making it in just before…read moresundown we found they were closing early for Ramadan. We recently were able to go back where we found the staff fun, accommodating, and the food tasty while reasonably priced. Eater has this place listed as one of the best burgers in the city - specifically the lamb burger. They describe it as thick and juicy, which to me is say no more! I love lamb. I did enjoy the burger, but was hoping it would be cooked to medium (I forgot to specify), but mine was well done. The lamb flavor shined through. I will get this again asking for it medium. The fries were medium cut thickness and crispy. Besides this, our group also tried the Shag Panner (I usually see this spelled saag paaner), which was the sleeper hit. Everyone enjoyed the amount given and thought it was delicious. The lamb biryani was also enjoyed by the group with chunks of lamb meat buried inside the rice it had a good flavor. I like they had a bottle of white sauce on the table which is really delicious on everything. Mango Lassi, or intensely flavored milky tea or cans of soda round out the drink options. We tried the rice pudding which was very thick and creamy with a slight orange tint to it.

It's not often you will see me give 5 stars to a restaurant, but when the food is excellent,…read moreservices are above and beyond the place is super nice and clean - it makes you want to make that exception and give Five The restaurant chef really makes amazing food. The food they make with are Zabiah Halal. This means it's fresh, clean-cut meat with no chemicals, etc, used to grow the animals also its cut in the most humane way possible. I really enjoyed their vegetarian dishes and some authentic Bangladeshi dishes they are well known for If you're at the restaurant, I would highly recommend reaching out or asking for Mr Alomger. He is the best person to order your food with. He makes sure your food served is the way to your liking. Enjoy Halal Diner and thank me later
