Hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant on Long Island! Every dish bursts with authentic flavors -- fresh ingredients, rich broths, and perfectly balanced seasonings. From the pho to the rice vermicelli, everything tastes homemade and full of heart. A true gem for anyone craving real Vietnamese cuisine! Love the owner, he does everything by himself and it's truly admirable.

Impromptu lunch with the hubby! We usually pick up to eat at home but decided we had time for a bite there. The owner is the chef and has always been very friendly. We actually had a moment to chat after our food was all served and it was very pleasant. Instead of the usual Hi, Thank you, See you soon. Everything is made from scratch and of course you can tell if you've had real Vietnamese food...not a restaurant where they are Chinese owned trying to sell Viet food. Forgot to take pictures as we were in the moment. Summer roll Spring rolls Pork bahn mi Beef bahn me 2 iced Vietnamese coffee The only complaint is the iced coffee is usually hit or miss depending on who makes it.

Menu - back side

Best pho spot in Long Island! They have summer rolls, bánh mì sandwiches, pho, etc. It's located towards the back of the Boston Market off Hempstead Turnpike. You may not be able to see it from the road but if you pull in, you'll see it on the corner. I highly recommend their hot Vietnamese coffee and pho. It really hits the spot on a cold rainy day and you can actually see the coffee being made in a phin filter. It can be on the sweeter side due to the condensed milk but you can ask them to give you less if you prefer.

Beef Round & Tendon Pho 12-2-2021
Christina J.

I was excited to try this place. It's down the road from one of my work yards. The reviews sounded promising...... and I truly hate to leave a bad review. Buuuut I'm not sure who has had other Pho as a reference but my Pho tasted nothing like pho. Very bland. And I asked for beef & tendon. I received 3 small pieces of tendon. The beef was ample. Noodles were broken but ok. Neither the hoisin or the sriracha helped. Then I wanted to order a Banh Mi with extra pate. But they informed me they don't have pate. Whaaat?! No pate?! That's like spaghetti & meatballs without the sauce. Who does that?! I understand if you don't want the pate and ask for it without. But to not have it at all?! Stunned! So I only left with Pho hoping it was worth the trip. Yeah, sorry I can't recommend nor will I be returning. 12-2-2021

This Vietnamese place is more like a take out place with a few small tables, not good for big groups. There was only one girl who served as both cashier and waitress. Unlike a traditional pho restaurant, this place has limited pho options. The portion of the pho is very small. We ordered the combination pho, two grilled pork phos and the pick-2, but none of us was full at the time we walked out of the restaurant. There were only a few slices of meat in my pick-2 pho, and they cut the grilled pork very tiny. The overall food quality was okay, just very small portion. Some of the utensils had oily marks on them. Big parking lot in the front.

Pho with meatballs and rib eye
Joe P.

Pho 34 is an appropriate name because I wanted to give it between 3 and 4 stars. We ordered summer rolls and spring rolls as apps and I had pho with meatballs and rib eye while my wife had pho with meatballs and brisket. The rolls were pretty good although the shrimp in the summer rolls were grilled, which is unusual but still tasted good and the peanut sauce was very good. The spring rolls were also very good but they need to give more of the fish sauce. We had to ration, which is never good. Note that they give you 4 spring rolls even though the picture on the window showed 3. The pho was ok although there is a strange and powerful minty flavor that is unusual. Some complained about the amount of meat and while it is far from generous, it was not ridiculous. Overall, there were small issues with all of the dishes but still solid.

Outside. It's in a strip mall.

I can't put into words how happy I am to have found this authentic little Vietnamese restaurant on Long Island, thanks to it being mentioned in Newsday. We were so excited to have Vietnamese food that we ordered a lot - Beef Banh Mi Sandwich, House Special Fried Rice, Pho Special Combination soup, Pho soup with meatballs. It is 4% cheaper if you pay cash/debit instead of credit card. Thanks to other reviewers I knew to ask for tendon and tripe to be added in the pho soup (they didn't have tripe but did have the tendon). For takeout the broth is in its own container, the noodles and meats are in a separate container, the sprouts/jalapeno etc are in a plastic bag, and then sriracha and hoisin sauce packets are included with the plastic spoons. The broth is phenomenal! The grilled pork with broken rice was cooked perfectly, marinated well and very tender. The fried spring rolls were also perfect. They come 2 or 4 per order - we ordered 6 pieces. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Excellent pho, flank meat

Place is nice and clean and excellent customer service from the girl working there. On a chilly night this Pho hit the spot!! Excellent pho with flank meat. Tasty and good size. There is hot sauce and hosin sauce to add if you like. Definitely come try it out.

PHO night! Good broth, good noodles, good meat! I added basil and lime. The husband added bean sprouts AND #sriracha like usual! Absolutely #nomnom #delicious #yum #yummy #loveit #sogood I also LOVE that the pho is always packed up properly with the broth being in one container, noodle and meat in a different container plus a bag of fresh basil, bean sprouts, lime and jalapeño! Not to mention good portion! Thanks to the husband for always helping me finish! #heart

Vegetarian summer rolls
Todd S.

What a disappointment; went in hoping to find a good Vietnamese place, left still hungry and with a much lighter wallet. The grilled pork and egg roll over vermicelli had about 1.5 oz. of pork and one tiny (and chewy) fried spring roll. No mint, no pickled vegetables, just a lot of bean sprouts, lettuce and noodles in a bowl, for $17.00. My partner's marinated tofu over rice was just pre-fried tofu from the supermarket marinated and laid over rice next to a slice of tomato and a couple of lettuce leaves - that was like $16.00. The summer rolls were terrible, again no mint or usual vegetables. Hard pass for the future, especially since really overpriced for the quality and portions.

Some of the top Pho I have definitely had thus far. I will definitely be back!!! Everything was perfection here- I'm excited to see what else they have in my next visit. 5/5 recommend!!!

Same great service from the one & only server who does the job of three ppl- forgive me for not even knowing his name after all these years. This has become my go-to spot for the best Vietnamese spring rolls, summer rolls & bánh xèo. I absolutely love their perfectly fried vegetable spring rolls with peanut sauce, their pork & shrimp summer rolls taste fresh and their bánh xèo, which I request it to be made extra crispy- so freakin' good. Just found out in 2026 that it's actually not made with eggs, it's rice flour batter, oops. I also like their grilled angus beef satay with vermicelli noodles- very tasty. Not really a fan of their phở though my other half always get the xl size phở bò. Their classic bánh mì is not bad- I ask for extra pate & bread to be more toasted but it still has too many veggies, too little meat.

This is a AUTHENTIC and delicious pho place. I used to have to drive all the way to queens for pho…read moreI found palatable because a lot of other pho places were americanized and the soup bases simply didn't fit my tastes. But the soup here is amazing, aromatic, flavorful but not overwhelming or oily. The noodles are cooked to the perfect consistency and the portion is just right for me. The meat can be a little overcooked but easily solved, next time I will just ask for it raw and cook myself. Nice ambiance, not a big place but quaint, homey and best of all clean. The waitress/cashier was nice and the wait time reasonable, I wish they had a few more options for appetizers but their entrees are so good that I could just overlook it. I really hope that they stick around and expand, they've got great authentic tastes and at decent prices. Give this place a chance! A great hidden gem.

The menu has also been updated: Salt Pepper Frog Legs - it is said that frog legs taste like chicken. In this case, I have to agree that the fried frog legs tasted like chicken wings, which is a good thing. 4/5 Beef Stew - unlike the tomatoey beef stews at some other Vietnamese places, the beef stew here is a little starchy from the potatoes and reminded me of Colombian Oxtail stew. It came with a sliced roll to dip. 4/5

Delicious! We…read moreordered pickup from here after battling allergies and sinus infections. When we went to pick it up we were greeted by the delicious smell of pho. The layout is a bit strange with a counter towards the back where you pay but it's also a small space so they make it work. Our pho took a while. When we called they said 20 minutes but it ended up being about 40 minutes. They did allow us to sit in a booth while we waited, though. Once the food was ready we left with huge smiles as you could just smell how delicious this was going to be. The chicken pho did not disappoint. So much flavor! The broth was incredible. Noodles were good. Everything is sent home a la carte where you add the chicken, bean sprouts, sauce, etc. I could have just ate the broth and noodles but the chicken was also good.

Top Pho was... pretty good, but not exactly pho-nomenal…read more The broth had a nice depth of flavor, but the fish sauce was a little too overpowering for my taste. The tendon was also disappointing--it came in huge chunks, was tough, and I spent more time wrestling with it than enjoying it. Service could definitely use some work. I mentioned I have a shrimp allergy, but our server still brought me shrimp... and then charged me for it anyway. Not exactly the seafood surprise I was hoping for. Overall, it wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't a place that wowed me either. I'd probably give it another shot someday, hoping for a better experience, but it's not at the top of my pho list.

The banana dessert - one word - yum! We came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon in May. The vibe of place is exactly as pictured. We live in Nassau County and found this nice strip of restaurants a few weeks ago, and saw this pho restaurant and decided to try it. I like that there are parking lots in the area and very convenient on Sunday when parking is free. When we entered this place, it was empty. It was like walking into a cave. The tv was on and music playing lightly in the background. On tv was a baseball game or documentary of some sort. The server greeted us but in general you didn't get a warm and friendly greeting. Seems like a nice guy, and perhaps he was busy. Not sure. Eventually a few customers came in. I highly recommend shut the tv off and play the music a bit louder. The menu is good but we were surprised that they had a limited pho selection and no curry or stew dishes. If I lived or worked in the area and needed a quick meal or takeout, I'd definitely order here. But if you're looking for a pleasant place to have a meal, then the vibe of this place is not it. Seems more like a Chinese takeout vibe. Now I know what you're going to say - it's called Pho Xpress - duh. But honestly with just a little bit more effort with lighting, decor and music, they could up there game. Will I likely come back again - possibly, but if I'm looking for a nice place to go with a friend or on a date, probably not. If I lived or worked in this area, I'd definitely would be a regular.
