You know when a place has a limited menu they take care of all their foods. We ordered a pork bahn mi and a chicken bahn mi. An order of pirk dumplings and 2 drinks. The lychee drink and the taro milk drink with boba. The taro drink was creamy and light when drinking. The lychee drink was like a lychee flavor soda but so refreshing. Definitely get the lychee if you are unsure as that is what the worker recommended when i asked. The dumplings were small but yummy with their homemade sauce. I wish they were bigger but no other complaints. The bahn mi's were delicious i got the prok and the flavoring were juicy with their homemade sauce pickled carrots and cucumbers slices balancing it out. The bread was so crispy i throughly enjoyed. I will stop by again another time for the delicious Pho smell that was at the restaurant.

Loved my Viet coffee and the salted lemonade was so refreshing. Great spot for some casual Vietnamese food in Brooklyn!

The aunties are mentioned often in other reviews, and that's because they're amazing. They'll gladly explain what you need, especially when it comes to the super tasty (and extremely inexpensive) deserts that populate racks and the drink fridges here. Some are sweet, some are sour (the deserts, that is), they'll let you know. Honesty since a cake here is $5, you can afford to try everything! How on to the main reason that you came, the Banh Mi. You literally can't go wrong with any of the eight main sandwiches here. I've tried them all so you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. The bread is crispy, the ingredients are super fresh, and the tastes combine perfectly. The decor is perfect for this kind of spot. No frills. There are three tables and a bunch of chairs. It's exactly what I want in a takeout type place. They concentrate on the food. So, to wrap this one up. Go. I'd say that I'll be back, but I've been coming here for years. If you haven't, it's time to start.

Em…read moreVietnamese Bistro brings Chef Ly Nguyen's take on elevated Vietnamese comfort food and tapas to a bright Front Street corner -- think 24-hour broths, shaking beef, and cocktails that actually match the food. ATMOSPHERE: The space feels modern-cozy, not touristy. White marble tables, teal booths, pendant lighting, and a backlit bar make it bright for lunch and glowy for dinner. It's built for lingering -- solo noodle missions, date night, or a post-Brooklyn Bridge walk catch-up. Locals treat it like their neighborhood living room. SERVICE: Family-owned by Dumbo native Patrick Lin, and the team leans into that hospitality. Servers know the menu cold, especially the gluten-free labeling and the QR visual menu you can scan for allergen transparency. Big love to the staff who check in without hovering -- they walk you through spice levels and broth styles like regulars. FOOD: Comfort food done with precision. Everything tastes slow-cooked because it is. What to get... - Cha Gio - Ly's Chicken Wings - Oc Xao Dua - Com Suon Nuong - Muc Chien Gion DRINKS: The cocktail game is strong, and they have a full bar.

The bun thit nuong/pork vermicelli ($18) was just what I wanted and needed, and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of grilled pork that was provided. And by the overall size of the meal. It was excellent to eat! In addition to the pork and noodles, there were cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon, ground peanuts, and fried shallots. Yum. I'd return when in the area again to try out some of Em's other dishes!

During my…read morelast visit, I sat in the front dining area, so I didn't get a chance to see how far the restaurant extends towards the back. The restrooms are conveniently located in the middle of the space. The staff were all efficient and constantly on the move. We had reservations for 2pm, and the restaurant was already packed when we arrived. We only had to wait a few minutes while our table was being cleared. The staff apologized. For drinks, we kept it non-alcoholic and ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and a lychee fizz. To eat, we shared the papaya salad, rice cake omelette, grilled pork bun bowl, and the wok seared beef pho. Everything we tried was so flavorful and well prepared. One thing to note is that if you're planning to visit on a weekend their banh mi is only available from Friday to Sunday until 6pm. However, we go there on Sunday and ordered around 2:30ish and it was already sold out. So I suggest dining in earlier.

Food: Delicious food! We tried the beef pho, fish lettuce wrap platter, pork skewer platter, and…read morethe spring rolls. All four dishes were delicious, and I would highly recommend the spring rolls and beef pho. The beef pho broth had deep flavor, and the noodles had a great, chewy texture and were different from the typical pho noodles in Vietnamese restaurants. The pho is also served with their homemade sriracha and hoisin sauce. The beef slices in the pho were a bit dry and overcooked, but I would still recommend you try the pho here; it was delicious. The spring rolls were big and packed with filling. We really enjoyed them! The fish lettuce wrap platter and pork skewer platter were exactly the same with the exception of the protein. The platters come with rice paper wrappers that you dip into water for 30 seconds, lettuce, mint, basil, cilantro, pickled radish and carrot, and cucumbers. The platters were good but also seems like something you can easily make yourself at home. The fish was a bit dry and overcooked, but the pork skewers were well made. Although I really enjoyed the food here, it wasn't special enough for me to want to return to dine here. Service: Service was excellent, and staff were friendly. At 5pm, we were the first party of 2 to arrive, and soon after, three other parties came after us. I'm not sure why the hostess chose to seat all four parties in one small corner of the restaurant while the rest of the restaurant was completely empty. Tables were placed very closely together, and seating was a bit tight. It seemed odd to seat everyone in one corner even when the restaurant was clearly not filling up. Ambiance: The ambiance and decor is lovely here. Seating is very comfortable, and the place is beautiful. It's well-lit and has a nice outdoor garden feel with plenty of sunlight. The restaurant is pretty big with tables for both small and large groups. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

I have dined here so many times @5 years and can brag about the consistency of the summer rolls, pho, banh mis and bubble teas. I have savored and loved every meal here. I usually order and take to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Your receipt now has an order number and an automated voice calls it out she. It is ready. The restaurant is small and I usually sit outside on their bench and wait. The place is packed today on a day when it feels like early summer has arrived. I waited @10 minutes for my shredded chicken Banh mi and walked straight to BBG to dine Al fresco.

It's flavorful from all the sauce, but a bit messy to eat. There's decent amount of fillings, but not very even, so you would get a vegetable bite and then a meat bite. It's a decent banh mi and gets the job done though.
