Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 6 Super excited that this restaurant opened in NYC because I love their other location in Falls Church, VA. They specialize in Pho Ga, which is quite unspectacular in NYC overall. This was a much needed injection of a Vietnamese staple to our city. However, my expectations might have been too high. While the chicken and noodles were fine, the soup felt underwhelming as if it wasn't cooked properly. It was nowhere near as flavorful as what I had at their other location. Maybe it was an off day, I will give it another try down the road. read more

It's hard to find good chicken pho in NYC. This place definitely hits the spot, being a mini chain from the east coast, it brings good quality chicken pho at an affordable price. I recommend getting the classic chicken pho, which has delicious cuts of chicken. I recommend asking for the ginger fish sauce that normally comes with the rice version for your pho, adds a nice extra taste. This is also one of the few places that sell young chicken eggs with the chicken pho, so if you're craving that you can grab some here as well as the organ meats which they sell separately or combined with the young chicken eggs. read more

Let me paint a picture: it's a gloomy, rainy, cold Saturday afternoon in NYC and all you want is a hearty, comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup. Enter: Pho Ga Vang. Their chicken pho is one of the best chicken phos we've had in the city - we always get an order of their plain rice noodles ($9.99) and a plate of their half chicken ($17.99) to share. The rice noodles and soup has all of the garnishes (think onion, cilantro, scallion) and the broth is aromatic, flavorful, and savory. The chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy. They also give you two different sauces to dip your chicken in, which is a nice addition. Overall this is a solid spot if you're ever in the market for some authentic, affordable, no frills chicken pho. Highly recommend! read more

Ducked into this spot one day for lunch. I was the only person there, the kid who helped me was really friendly. Sat down to some lemongrass chicken pho. It was really tasty and warmed me up on a rainy day. Decor was standard, nothing special. Kind of off the beaten path but a solid place with really good service. I I'll be back for sure, the flavors were really good. read more

This is the first time I've had a chicken pho that's better than a beef pho! My favorite was the lemongrass grill chicken pho, but the traditional chopped chicken pho is also good. The beef combo pho was good, but the meat was not as tender as expected. The chicken phos are really their specialty! The staff are friendly, and the food came quickly. The restaurant has a casual and cozy vibe, lots of seats. read more

Pho Ga Vang - chicken pho with cut up chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

This place is new, a year old as I checked. Located not close to Tourist area but more like local shops. They do the real broth for the Chicken as I can taste and real Yellow chicken like in Philadelphia originally. I definitely recommend if you're into real Vietnamese food, especially the chicken. Absolutely for Vietnamese. I ordered the chicken rice home and it's pretty much the same quality. They have young eggs and chicken gizzards as well. Hopefully will try the salads next time. Just one star left for the set up and cleaning. It's kinda not well attentional keeping by the owner read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two chicken phos at Pho Ga Vang, for which they are particularly famous. Specifically we ordered the traditional chicken pho ($14.99), which comes with rice noodles, and the lemongrass grilled chicken pho ($15.99). Although the latter also comes with rice noodles, to change it up we opted for egg noodles for an extra $1. Both noodle soups were excellent. Each had a generous portion of tender chicken and flavorful broth. It's hard to say which was better, because they each had their merits. I loved the tenderness and classic flavor of the poached chicken in the traditional pho, although I also really appreciated the lemongrass flavor and contrasting texture of the lemongrass grilled chicken pho. The broth was a tad oily, but still wonderfully savory and scrumptious. There was a high chair available and the interior was pretty large and spacious. The restaurant was clean and service was decent. I would definitely be interested in returning to try other items like the acclaimed cho gia and their beef phos. read more

Overview: I highly recommend Pho Ga Vang! An affordable, authentic and awesomely delicious udining experience! Food: 5/5 The food was solid. The Pho Tony Special was extremely flavorful and delicious. The healthy portion is big enough for two. The grilled pork & egg roll vermechille noodles was tasty as well. Plenty of succulent meat with fresh crispy lettuce and sprouts are a perfect mix with the cold noodles. Add the fish sauce on top and you're in business. Everything is fresh and filling. Service: 4/5 Service is prompt and effective. Ambiance: 3.5/5 Very chill and laid back. I love the chicken artwork. It's bright and clean. read more

Passing by Pho Ga Vang, I saved it for later and thankfully had a chance to try them out. Reading about it, I see chicken based Pho ? hmm. The eatery has been mentioned in a few articles, I suppose the chef is a well known individual. I selected the Pho Tony Special, which is 4 types of protein. It was very good. Not too salty, as Pho can be sometimes. I had taken it to go. The restaurant had several patrons at 430 on a Wednesday afternoon, and more then several to-go orders prepped and ready to be picked up. I plan on trying some other dishes, the chicken based ones, as it is the specialty. They offer rice platters and glass noodles dishes as well. The staff was super nice and the restaurant is well lit. read more

Cozy place for chicken pho! I ordered half a chicken and a bowl of rice noodles. The chicken was incredibly tender and the broth for the chicken pho was hearty. I nearly drank all the broth and didn't even leave a bite of chicken. It was a great price for fantastic chicken pho. The portions for the half chicken was very generous. The accompanied tangy and salty sauce paired well with the chicken. There was also a sweet chili sauce that wasn't overbearingingly sweet like other sweet chili sauces. They also include gizzard and liver! Some places give the blood as well but not this place. I definitely recommend this place for a no frills and simple chicken pho. The workers were very kind. I definitely plan to come again to try the other items in their menu. read more

The lemongrass chicken was definitely on the blander side. The broth on the side was just ok. Good size portion and friendly service, however. read more

Pho Ga Vang is a restaurant near Chinatown that focuses on chicken-based pho, as opposed to the more popular beef version. The restaurant is no-thrills, and features a pretty simple menu. They do actually sell the beef version of pho, though you should stick to the chicken pho. The chicken pho was very fragrant and comforting. The chicken itself was fairly tender and flavorful as well. It's a great thing to order on a cold, windy day. The rest of the menu was just OK. To some extent I think Pho Ga Vang is a bit of a one-trick pony. That doesn't mean you shouldn't stop by though. read more

Earlier today I stopped by here, got a lemongrass chicken and steak pho. Lemongrass chicken pho- Meh, broth was too oily. No lemongrass flavor whatsoever. Chicken was only ok. Overall the dish left alot to be desired. The steak pho is much better. The beef was tender and the broth wasn't bad. I would have liked more star anise and other flavors in the broth because it was a little on the bland side. Service: friendly Overall: Likely won't go back, neither dish was really that great, with the abundance of good chinese restaurants in the area to compete with i'll pick them over a only ok pho place. read more

On a side street in chinatown we found this restaurant and decided to give it a try. The place itself has a good amount of space for people and with fast service. The lemon grass chicken pho was pretty good, we ordered it because we knew they were more known for their chicken items. The beef and egg roll combo was pretty good/standard. The price wasn't too bad either. Their viet coffee was delicious and super strong. Would come here again next time i'm craving chicken pho! read more

Pho Ga Vang - Lemongrass Grill Chicken Pho Beef and Grill Pork & Egg Roll Vermicelli Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

It's nice to have a Vietnamese option close to the residential area where we don't have venture into the busy streets of Mott and all. Saw that this restaurant was spacious and had a few seats so decided to grab lunch here. The guy who is tall and slim was helpful and kind. Food isn't bad. Their specialty is the soup and that's all I would recommend getting. Egg rolls - here I am thinking of the traditional spring rolls you get at Viet spots but this ain't that. It's an egg roll with some sort of resemblance to the meat in spring rolls. Tried it and will pass on it next time. Pork rice platter - no, just no. Obviously not listed as pork chop, just pork. It looks delicious but this was insanely sweet and salty. Makes it tough to eat, quite challenging on the palette. Pass. Chicken rice platter - not bad. They use a different type of rice. Their rice dishes came with a broth that was different from the pho. Guessing it's the clear broth they have offered with their plain noodles. Steak and brisket pho - their phos are large with plenty of noodles. Although if you're a bean sprout fan, prepare to be disappointed. It's a small dish but I guess you can ask for more. This was good and I loved the broth. Really the saving grace for my experience here. Broth was clear, flavorful, lightly salted, and just delicious. Traditional chopped chicken pho and shredded chicken pho - depends on the type of chicken lover you are - you get two choices, bone or no bone. Either way, broth is solid and comes with lots of noodles. I'd be remiss to say that at least service was friendly and the soup was their winning dish. Although while selecting our seats with our little kids, be mindful that in the winter, it gets cold because the door doesn't shut well and you are on the second level. We opted to seat our larger group of five by the center and I heard the staff whispers behind me about problems sitting there. Being me, I asked if we needed to move. I would prefer staff be more upfront about things from the get go. Aside from that little tiff, food was fine. Skip the rice dishes and appetizers and stick to the noodle soup. read more

This area in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge is getting some new places to dine. Pho Ga Vang is ine of them, as tge name implies, a place for pho, specializing in chicken. The staff is made up of young persons. The space is shiny and new, open for a month or so. Be aware, the front steps up are a bit steep, and that makes it not fully accessible. We were seated and hot tea was offered to us. There is seating and tables for maybe 50 patrons in total. We had lunch on a Saturday, and the atmosphere was simple, casual. Out egg rolls were nice and crispy with some meat inside. The pho I had came with beef slices and meatballs. The broth was chicken based, with a lught flavor. My wife had the lemongrass roasted chicken I found was delicious. The chicken, in my opinion, is the dish to order here. read more

A cute restaurant located near East Broadway of Chinatown. They offer a variety of pho if you want beef based instead of the chicken base they are known for as well as a variety of noodles. My family and I each ordered a bowl of the plain rice noodles ($10 each) and a full chicken ($34). The noodles were one size but it was relatively big and a perfect sized meal if you eat with meat. The noodles came in a hot soup filled almost to the brim and the noodles were still sort of crispy rather than soggy when it came out which I like. The chicken was cooked to perfection - very tender and included the internal organs except blood (which is my favorite). They provided two different sauces - a huge bowl of a sweet garlic sauce and the classic salted pepper sauce which is my family's favorite. The place is modernly decorated and has one unisex restroom behind the bar but before the kitchen. It is cheaper if you pay in cash as well. My family and I used to drive all the way to Philadelphia just for Pho Ga, but not anymore. This place is better, closer, and more reasonably priced! Can't wait to come back for more. read more

Passed by this place randomly and had a craving for pho! Place is no frills nothing fancy kind of restaurant and the food was overall pretty good. Cha gio (egg rolls) - 5/5 were on point and really enjoyed these with the lettuce and picked veggies Pho Tai with Bo Vein- 4/5 always my go to way for having pho and while the overall dish was good, I'd say theyre close to getting the broth clear. A little under seasoned, but with a Sriracha, hoison, and fish sauce on the side, you can make adjustments. Overall a good option for a bowl of pho for about 15 bucks read more

My current go-to spot for pho in NYC. I've tried the lemongrass chicken pho and the pho tony special, both were very good and I drank all the broth lol. They give you a salt pepper lemon (muoi tieu chanh) dipping sauce which you will find as a staple dipping dish in Vietnam. The nuoc mam (fish sauce) was also very good and paired nicely with the lemongrass chicken vermicelli. read more

The restaurant is pretty large. It can accomodate large groups, probably up to 8 people. There were a lot of kids here. We got the traditional Chicken Pho and the Lemon Grass Grill Chicken Pho. The pho was so on point. The Chicken Pho was light and the chicken was moist. They do offer a side of noodles for $2. (Great for little kids!) The Lemon Grass Grill Chicken had a very interesting smokey flavor and aroma. I really liked the flavor, but it was a little salty for me. I wouldn't be able to finish it on my own. I would definitely come bacK! read more

Sooo good! My friend and I shared a lemon grass chicken pho and beef stew pho, and both were delicious. They were a great complement to each other too; the beef stew was thick and the lemongrass and lime balanced well with it. The portions were generous, so we left feeling very satisfied. The place is spacious and clean, with an assortment of funny chicken decor all over the restaurant. The staff was friendly as well. I consider it a gem in Chinatown! read more

Needed lunch while I was volunteering and this was only 2 blocks away. I ordered for pickup and 10 minutes later (including my 5 min walk over) the food was ready. If you pay with cash you get a discount. I got the lemongrass grilled chicken pho and my friend got the shredded boneless white meat chicken pho. While I got a whole slab of chicken which tasted great, my friend's shredded white meat was only a few pieces which we didn't think was worth it. The soup also very much made me super thirsty. I drank a whole bottle of water after. read more

Pho Ga Vang's surprised me. I was skeptical of chicken pho, but it was actually quite good.

Kind of no frills place in a remote section of Chinatown, don't think anyone would come to this area if they didn't know about the place. We drove here so it's fine, but it's really in an area of Chinatown that's not convenient / close to anything much. The service was good and prompt, and the food was good and solid. The egg rolls looked like Chinese egg rolls with the Chinese wrappers, but they did taste like Vietnamese egg rolls. The chicken broth was good, and probably the best I've had in NYC. For that reason alone I'd come back. read more

Food was good, probably one of the better/best pho spots I've had in Manhattan. We came on a Fri night with a party of 3 at 7pm and waited about 15-20 min. We were a little confused/upset that they seemed to seat others that came after us quicker, but that was the only downside of our experience. Chicken was done well, felt the broth could've been a bit more flavorful but overall pretty good! I liked the salt sauce they gave us to go along with the chicken, that was probably my favorite part. Def want to try the rice dishes next time if I come back! read more

This is not the first time to visit Pho Ga Vang. Perfect place to enjoy a quick simple meal. Food is delicious. Service is friendly and speedy. They are playing the 50's to 70's music during the evening hours. We got there around 7:30pm and it's quiet. Give us a feel of relax. It's a clean and modern hop with some hilarious chicken related poster. Both chicken and beef broth are pretty good. I really enjoy all their beef pho dishes. Definitely will be back for the rice dish next time. read more

We came here for dinner and got seated immediately. This place is pretty popular and a lot of customers dine in. I got the lemongrass chicken pho and the broth was super flavorful. The slices of grilled lemongrass chicken were pretty good. They were thick and juicy slices. There is a dipping sauce for the chicken which gave it a sour and spicy kick to it. The pho itself was super flavorful and delicious. The dish is a little pricey compared to other Vietnamese pho places around the area. Overall I would definitely come back to try the other pho noddles. read more

Came here to try the new pho place around the neighborhood. Always want to try new places around. But was super disappointed here. The staff were super friendly. The place looks fast casual with their disposable chopsticks. The broth for the chicken and beef pho has a weird aftertaste. The spring rolls were not good the skin and the meat were not good. The liver and gizzard has absolutely no flavor or seasoning. If I wanted this I could have just boiled liver and gizzard myself at home. My chicken leg skin is done well. But the chicken itself was a little on the chewy side, overcooked. The rice wasn't bad. The lemon grass chicken was pretty tasteless and the portion size of the protein is so tiny compare to the rice. First time and last time here. read more
