Fried Catfish Noodle Soup
Gianna S.

As a lover of pho and someone who works in FiDi, this is a great lunch or post-work spot. It is small inside with only a few tables, but they have a quick take-out counter as well. They do try and turn over the tables quickly. It is usually quite hot inside as well - which is pro/con depending on the season! The pho bowls are around $18 which is on par with most locations in NYC. The portions are very large. We got the flank & brisket, and the catfish. The catfish was unfortunately very soggy rather than crispy and the broth was really oily, but the beef as well as chicken pho I really enjoy. It is not as flavorful as other pho I have had around the city or travelling, but it's a solid lunch spot if you're nearby. We also had the summer roll on this lunch trip (shrimp with veggies, $9)

Flank & Brisket Noodle Soup
Cyrus A.

No frills, no problem. Show up at Pho Maiden Lane and you'll get a tiny space with a few wooden tables suited mostly for pairs or solo diners. Put in your order from the simple menu of Vietnamese staples, and your food will come out in five minutes. Simple menu executed very well, my pho was delicious. I got the brisket and flank, and was very satisfied with the broth, the noodles, and the meat. The broth had that complex collection of pho flavors that had me slurping from a spoon before I even touched the noodles (which were also delicious). Great option for a quicker lunch in the area that doesn't compromise on quality or taste!

This is one of three (I believe) locations of this chain in Fidi. There's also Pho Fulton and Pho John St. The menus and quality are all identical, just less or more seating. So happy to have pho in the neighborhood. It's always consistent and the people are nice.

Flank pho

As a an avid pho consumer, I have high standards for what I would consider a good bowl of pho. The bowl was large, but I think the portion size was to compensate for the lack of authenticity and flavor. The broth lacked a majority of the aromatics that makes pho flavorful. It was watery and bland. The noodles were overcooked and started disintegrating into the soup. I was disappointed because I wanted to like this place so much. The pho was also $21 after tip. Not worth it. The staff were friendly though. There also isn't much seating, I would advise avoiding this restaurant.

Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Noodle

Pho Maiden Lane never disappoints when it comes to lunch and dinner! Today we tried something new and got the fried Catfish Bahn Mi, and let me tell you it was everything! I added the sauce they provided and added the perfect kick. I ordered and maybe a 5 min wait, it's a small place with some seating but it's the perfect little spot. Prices are always a deal so how could you not come in!

Pho soup and a Bahn mi
Renata G.

It's a tiny spot with huge pho soup bowls. Pho Maiden Lane is pretty good.. it's not my fav Vietnamese restaurant but it reminds me of the place I used to go with my family in California. Pho broth is full of msg but it's also full of meat and noodles. So it'll do the job..you're going to be very full. The sandwich is okay as well. I think I got the special Bahn mi but inside there was not much there. I could've skipped the sandwich for sure. Very busy during lunch as it's a neighborhood favorite. Make sure to tell the waiter if you want to stay or go. Because they're overwhelmed with orders and just assume people want take out.

shrimp spring roll

- terrible pho - would not come back - the spring rolls felt like they premade them and took them out of the fridge - the rice paper was very chewy and had very little shrimp - soup was p flavorless and very little beef

Bun Cha Vermicelli Noodle
Brittany T.

Dear god where do I even begin? Finding Bun Cha Hanoi or any northern Vietnamese dish in the states is very difficult. Finally, I found a place with it on the menu so I had to come by. Although slightly more expensive than usual, I cannot complain because this meal was worth every penny spent. I am coming back tomorrow for more! The restaurant itself is small and cozy -- there was no wait. Our server was kind and attentive as well.

Sofia L.

small, comforting restaurant with extremely fast service. took less than 30 min to order, eat, and pay. was in the wall street area and didn't want to travel too far for pho. this place is very close to wtc and had decent prices, so I was very happy to try! no music, but very clean. their portions are insanely massive, but flavor was lacking, unfortunately. the pho broth tasted watered down, and the limes/sriracha didn't help much. appreciated the amount of meatballs, however!

Pho Beef Ball Noodle Soup
Christine L.

Cozy Pho spot on Maiden Lane! Got the Beef Ball Pho ($16) which came out quickly and had a generous portion of noodles and meatballs. Noodles were nice and chewy but the broth itself doesn't have much flavor. The addition of cilantro, bean sprouts, lime etc definitely makes it better. Not much seating, so either grab to-go, or try and go early.

Grilled Pork Chop Vermicelli Noodle
Macy T.

Really enjoyed the beef pho and the spring rolls. The food came out quickly once you are able to get your order in. The challenge with this place is that it's small and only has a free seats for dine in which means they get swamped with to go orders and food pick up so they neglect the diners at the table. They haven't been able to nail down service in coverage during prime lunch time... With that said, go early so you can get your food and leave with in your lunch hour or order to go and pick it up if you don't have more than an hour lunch. Look forward to returning to try other menu items because the food was hot and good portioned.

Grilled Pork Bahn Mi
Melissa N.

The five stars review is strictly for their Banh mi sandwich. Pho Maiden Lane is a small yet cozy Vietnamese restaurant. I am currently obssessed with their grilled pork banh mi. It's one of the best I have ever had! It has so many flavors. The baguette stood out. It was fresh and crispy. The bahn mi had plenty of meat and pickled veggies. The grilled pork was flavorful. They offer many other Vietnamese dishes, but the banh mi is great!

Interesting decor
Misty D.

I found an affordable banh mi place near my work! The sandwich was about 11 bucks (I went for the catfish sandwich). The sandwich was OK although I do get a little concerned when I eat fish during a work day. Service was quick and it was very filling. I liked that this place accepted credit cards. The place is small, but it does have seating available. I wish they offered shrimp banh mi, which I didn't see.

Popped into this new Vietnamese spot by Herald Square for a quick weekday lunch. The place is fresh…read moreand clean, with a modern self-serve setup where you order via iPad. I got the pho ($21.78), which is steep for pho, but I guess that's Midtown prices for you. The wait was a slog--over 20 minutes for a bowl of pho, which other Yelp reviews warned about. When it finally arrived, the soup lacked that authentic pho aroma, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the beef was fresh, and the reusable to-go bag was a nice touch. Decent, but the wait and price make it hard to love. Might try again if they speed things up.

Okay, so I came back after a couple weeks from my first visit and had the most perplexing…read moreexperience. I ordered "Plain Pho", which is described as just broth and noodles, no garnish or meat. After waiting 30 minutes, for what is literally the simplest item on the menu, the bowl is brought out and it's a bowl of broth with a couple slices of chicken. No noodles. When I inquired, the server told me it's because I ordered the Plain Pho... yea and I said it comes with noodles and broth. They told me they could get me noodles, but acted like they were doing me a favor by fetching noodles for me, which was quite offputting because the noodles were quite literally half of the dish I actually ordered. How does one wait half-an-hour at a very casual fast Vietnamese food place, for premade soup and noodles, and still have the order wrong? In the end, I did get my noodles and broth, but the fact that I had to spend this much time and also justify my request for noodles (which are part of the dish) is quite insane. I put this at 2 stars for now, because I enjoyed my first time. Hopefully the service will improve.

This is one of new favorite go to places for Vietnamese food. I think when considering both the…read morecost and the flavor, it is the best I have found. It is usually packed during meal times so expect a wait or choose to order take out to save on wait times. I personally love when the Bahn mi is stuffed with both the meat and veggies, it has the perfect ratio. Sometimes there's not enough filling and it feels like you are only eating bread, but at Nom Nam that is definitely not the case. The Pho was also pretty flavorful and it wasn't the best I have had but it was still really good given that I haven't found too many Pho places that I love in nyc. I definitely recommend adding Nom Nam to your lists of places to try!

I'm not in the area very often so this review is for first impressions…read more Naturally how I heard about this place is how any of us hear about anywhere now... TikTok. Do I agree it's "the best pho in nyc"? Hell no. Would I say it's a pretty damn solid pho? *bleep* yeah. I think it also helped that there was a surprising amount of Vietnamese people dining there. For perspective, we're a bit of a rare breed in nyc itself and much less in this pocket of Manhattan. Suffice it to say, it's a Viet restaurant worth going out of your way for. So-- here are the things I unexpectedly like about Nom Nam: * I love love love the diner homage. It's common for new restaurants to play it safe or create an environment of grandeur, that people are often adverse to have fun. This checkered multi-colored menu, neon sign having, is unapologetically fun. The sign on the wall "troi dat oi" is a passive aggressive phrase all Vietnamese moms say. I could do with a different name than "Nom Nam" but it is easy to remember. * The pho: SOLID! Can we take a minute and celebrate reliability without admonishing mediocrity? I like eating upscale obscured ingredients more than the next guy but I'd much prefer a consistent reliably good savory pho or a cold/hungover/sick night. * The Bo Luc Lac: look... or luc (hehe don't kill me-- my gf just sneered at me), the BLL did not have that desired wok hay seared outside but the meat-- tender, the sauce-- immaculate, my stomach-- happy. Honestly I'd buy that sauce alone. Things I didn't like (or care for really): * The cocktail: I like a place with a dedicated cocktail list bespoke to them but they played it safe here. There was one item that could be considered the most Vietnamese but it came off generic. I mean it's a good cocktail but lacks that special flair the rest of the restaurant is doing great at. * The wings: the wings were good. In fact, they tasted exactly how my mom makes them and she's considered the best cook out of 7 siblings. That being said, 4 wings? I know, you probably don't wanna do that either; I blame the economy... and a certain party making the economy worse as we speak. * The pho descriptions on the menu: as a Viet, I even had a hard time discerning what makes each one distinct. I feel like ai would be a good use case here to help Things I'll be coming back for: * Them Banh Mis * The coffees * The homemade limeade & salted plum I appreciate the waitress admitting the limeade was really sweet, so I'll go on a day where I had a good gym sesh or something

It is known for…read morecrowds, noise, and restaurants that seat you next to a stranger close enough to accidentally share an appetizer. So when my family stumbled into Pho 39, a tiny spot with just a handful of tables tucked away from the chaos outside, it felt less like finding a restaurant and more like discovering a Rebel outpost that somehow survived undetected in the middle of Imperial territory. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a solid Vietnamese spot: pho, combination rice plates, the usual lineup. We were ready to order and move on with our lives. Then we saw the tacos. Vietnamese tacos. On the menu. Sitting right there between the banh mi and the spring rolls like they'd always belonged. Nobody in my family said anything for a full three seconds, which for us is basically a standing ovation. We ordered the duck spring rolls to start, which were fresh, well packed, and disappeared faster than a starfighter in hyperspace. For the mains we went with the beef flank pho and the banh mi combination special. The pho had a clean, well developed broth that clearly had some time put into it, and the beef flank was tender enough to make you slow down and pay attention. The banh mi combo was solid, balanced, and hit all the right notes. We did not get the tacos this visit, which means we have a built in reason to return and nobody can argue with that logic. For a small room in the middle of one of the busiest cities on the planet, Pho 39 manages to feel genuinely calm and focused. Good food, good value, and a menu with enough surprises to keep things interesting. The Force is strong with this little spot.

I sat down for pho. You get a lot of noodles but that doesn't make it worth it.
