Uh uh what is this. As a self proclaimed banh mi aficionado this was NOT it. First I couldn't get extra meat.. ok yall don't want my money. Second they were kinda rude.. Third.. didn't ask my spice level. I should've known then. this banh mi didn't have no taste at all. Everything put the veggies were bland. Sriracha served on the side. read more

Pho John St - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Centric nice spot offering a straight forward menu of Vietnamese flare. We came for the Pho, and the experience was great. Quick sit, ordering and minutes later an amazingly hearty bowl of goodness. I ordered the flank and brisket and it was tasty. It's a very hidden spot so you'll miss it unless you know you're coming specifically for it as we did. Very lit and cozy inside. read more

This is my first time here and thought I tried it out. Somewhat close by my job. Very modern looking like a hotel when you see Pho John St from outside. Big and very high windows. Once inside, you can feel a lot of space around you. They have very high ceilings! They are really high with lots of wooden planks to make it look industrial like a bar. They have small tables for one or two people. It's very long. I had to go back to work so I did take out and got a flank and brisket pho. They give a lot of noodles in this place. I almost couldn't finish. Also a lot of meat in the bowl. They also gave a lot of soup that was spilling so I had to drink some of the soup before pouring the rest into the noodles. I love the bean sprouts. Very crunchy. Also I cannot forget the mint. Brings out a lot of flavor. read more

The space is narrow but has a nice size room towards the back. Would be good for group since it's semi secluded towards the back. The service is a bit slow as I only ever see one or two servers for the entire place. But it's clean and airy with tall ceilings. Prices are very reasonable for the location in fidi and also considering the giant portion size! So yummy! I love pho and this is a decent spot! The soup is hot and perfect for these colder days leading up to winter. Grab yourself and go, this area was certainly missing a good Vietnamese sit down location. My fave is the beef flank and pork chop! read more

{Overall: 3.5; Food: 3.5} Ambiance: 3; Service: 3 A good spot to grab a quick pho for lunch in FiDi. It's super popular, but it's generally easy to get a table even during peak hours. Food comes out within minutes. The beef pho was solid: a big bowl with good noodles, tender meat, and rich broth. The only option for chicken pho is grilled chicken. Service is fine. Very much focused on keeping everything moving, with a light-touch approach. Works for a quick, satisfying lunch. read more

Pho John St - Flank Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

The pho here hit the spot, especially on a drizzly summer day. The prices were very reasonable given its fidi location. We got the flank and brisket pho with the flank slices on the side to get to the perfect temperature and the combo banh mi to share. The portions were very filling where we saved the 2nd half of the sandwich for layer. The only underwhelming dish was the summer roll where the shrimps were pretty small and the fillings were not too exciting. The restaurant was spacious, with skylights and plants, and very clean. The server was friendly and the food came out very fast. I would highly recommend visiting this spot when you are in the area. read more

I don't walked in during a good rainy day because I desperately needed something soupy to warm me up. Growing up in Chinatown, I wasn't really expecting much from pho John because the pho restaurants in ct are so good. But I was really surprised. The soup was clean tasting and the pho was authentic. I LOVED the duck spring rolls. The waitress left me to myself for the most part but I was grateful for it. read more

I have come to this establishment twice for an hour lunch. They served my food promptly even with a large crowd. There are not many pho restaurants to choose from in the area and this one has pretty large portions. Overall, it's very clean inside. Though the bathroom could use some sprucing up. The pho is very delicious and hearty. I like to stop by when I need something to cure my sinuses or give me a little more energy. I wish they had an option for a smaller portion of soup because I can never finish it all. A smaller portion for a lunch price would be a great addition to the menu. read more

Same consistency that you get at their other locations, Pho Fulton & Pho Maiden Lane! I usually opt for the beef ball pho which is $16. Lots of seating inside as well. read more

I also got the Thai ice tea (not pictured) and it was so sweet, even sipping from the top near the ice didn't help. The fried spring rolls were really good! Finally a place in NYC that uses wonton wrappers instead of rice wrappers. They are filled with meat and fried to the right amount. The pho is $16 which is a really good deal considering the portion was really big. I couldn't finish both the pho and the spring rolls on my own when I could at other places. They give a lot more noodles than meat. The broth isn't super aromatic, but it's there! The restaurant has a lot of seatings. I don't live close to FIDI, but if I'm in the area I'd make sure to swing by :) read more

Pho John St - Tofu Mushroom, Broccoli and Baby Corn Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Went on a Saturday evening. Zero customers. Hmm, but we took a risk anyways. The pho noodles came mostly stuck together. First time I encountered this in a pho restaurant. I thought I was the only one who cannot cook rice noodles right. The bean sprouts looked very sad; they were lonely (only a few of them) and rather brown. The one little sprig of thai basil was all withered. The duck "tacos" (spring roll) was all black. It's not just burnt, but the filling tasted like they were recycled from leftovers. They also don't have Vietnames coffee. Not even Thai coffee. A vietnamese restaurant? Huh?? As if that was not bad enough, the waitress didn't know how to operate their cashier's computer and double charged me. I insisted and saw the Apple Pay machine go "processing... approved" but she demanded that I pay again. Now, I have to walk 30 min to go to ask for a refund of the second (double) payment. Because they don't know how to handle credit card refunds, and my bank has informed me that I was charged twice, all within 3 min. Not planning on going back, except to get my refund. (Will update if they refund me. Otherwise, anyone has any advice?) read more

Sister restaurant to pho maiden lane with a much larger dining room. Menu is exactly the same but service here was much slower which was really surprising. $20 with tax and tip inclusive for any bowl of pho.. good if your craving pho. Wish they had all the traditional pho meats and options but at least the flavor is there. read more

Very happy to see this place pop up in the area! Flank & Brisket Pho - soup came out hot (what I love), clean, herbal (but not too much) the soup flavor was well balanced for me. Sold! Spring Roll - thin wrap crispy and served hot. Delicious. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - unfortunately the bread was a bit stale and meat was a bit dry/touch. Picked carrot and daikon were great though. Will make this my regular pho spot downtown! read more

The food was so incredible, the banh mi was so so good and the bread was. The spring rolls were the best ive ever had, absolutely cleaned the plate. Also the best thai tea ive ever had in my life and im from "thai town." The pho was also pretty impressive. The service was quick and to the point. Song choices were questionable but the overall vibe was cool and modern. read more

Big fan of Pho John St. I've visited to dine inside and also got take out. It's nice and quiet inside, plenty of space and the service is fast. The pho broth is rich and hearty and portions are generous. The banh mi is also great! read more

My friend wanted to try Pho John St because it was cold outside and close by. I ordered the flank pho, while she ordered the grilled chicken pho (each $16). It came in a huge bowl. Portion size for noodles and meat was generous, and service was quick. However, we both agreed that the broth was lacking in depth compared to others we have had. read more

Great pho in cute atmosphere! Service is good and lots of tables. Reasonably priced.

Nice to have this very spacious dining room in this area. It's so good to sit and enjoy a meal . Lots of the places in this area ha e a couple seats if you're lucky and are usually crowded. The restaurant is esthetically pleasingand clean. A huge light lit window is above the rear dining area. The pho is good and flavorful- we had the flank and Brisket. Huge bowl with lots of noodles, $16 . Very fair price for the amount of pho. My hubby also had the grilled pork Bahn Mi, the meat was tender and well seasoned and the packed with fresh tasting pickled veggies. The hostess/server was the only one on the floor. It was not busy at the moment we went but it did start filling up while we were there. I guess we had missed the lunch crowd. She was friendly and handled all the tables herself. There was not a long wait for the food to come out. She was on top of her game with refilling water, checking on us , very attentive. Overall a beautiful and delicious experience. Will be back soon. Perfect place for a hot bowl of comfort on these winter days. There is an indoor ramp for easy wheelchair access and the bathroom is also spacious and has accessibility handle bars. read more

Food was delicious & affordable!! There's a very large seating area towards the back of the restaurant, and the ceiling is glass so there's plenty of natural light. The pho is HUGE!! Super affordable for the amount of food you get. I also really enjoyed the flavor of the broth. Their bahn mi was incredible!! Super affordable (I think it was ~$10) and comes generously filled. My favorite part was the bread. It was pillowy soft yet still crunchy!! Awesome option for a lunch spot in the area. read more

Pho John St - Flank and Brisket Noodle Soup & Special Banh Mi | IG & TikTok @territheplatypus.eatz - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

I've been to this restaurant many times. The food is delicious and the service is great. I am a big fan of their pho.

Pork Bhan mi. Meh. The pork was fine and abundant, but the vegetables were lacking. The cilantro seemed senior and there was not a jalapeño or other spicey pepper in site. I liked the bread, but this was otherwise fairly disappointing. Do better. If your veg does not look like it is edible, don't serve it. read more

stopped by for little snacky and drinks during happy hour (3:30-6:30). haven't tried the pho but the duck rolls and satay were yummy. cute space. read more

It was ok, ended up paying nearly $18 for the pho but I guess it's the area. Still hunting for good pho in Fidi.

As a Vietnamese person, I was very unimpressed. The pho is very flavorless and the meat is also just as disappointing. Service was fine, but the rumors remain true that Vietnamese food in New York City is often disappointing. The bun cha noodles came out cold alongside that. read more

While I give the pho a rating of 3.9 out of 5, I give the restaurant an overall rating of 1. I used to dine here pretty often because the broth in the pho was pretty good. Not the best, but good enough for what's in the area. Every time I ordered the beef pho, I would ask to have the beef on the side as I prefer to place the beef in my bowl one slice at a time. The very last time I dined here, they decided to tack on an extra charge. On the receipt, it said "extra meat". When I told the waitress I didn't get extra meat, she says that's how they would ring up the bill since I asked to have the meat on the side. She deemed that as being correct and didn't remove the charge for me. So I paid and left $0 tip. That's what you get for ripping off a frequent customer. Will I miss their food? Not really. There's a really great ramen joint up the block. And I have great pho places around my nabe anyway. read more

Place has so much potential. Feedback is that the phô broth needs more depth of flavor. They should use rare sliced round steak not overcooked sliced beef. Need to have tendon as a menu item. read more

Honestly the exact place we needed in the neighborhood. They haven't been open too long and it hasn't been too crowded yet that I've seen but really hoping they stay around! Incredible pho -- I've had the tofu/mushroom veg pho and the chicken pho and they are so so good. Amazing broth and sriracha/hoisin mix. Will be my go to pho spot in the neighborhood! read more

I love this place, huge portions and delicious. I've already been there 3 times since they opened. I hope they're here to stay.
