My family and I came in from Boston for a first day in New York. Kitchen closes at 9 and overall at 9:30, which is important to the review considering we got to the restaurant at 8:35-8:40. I promise you when I say get whatever and it'll have you wanting more the next day. I know I'll be back tomorrow for some more Pad Kee Mao!! read more

On Northern Blvd a few blocks down from Flushing High School is the newest Vietnamese restaurant in that area, Pho Tan. The dining room was spacious, the wait staff was attentive, the food came out within 15 minutes, and overall the Vietnamese food was almost 100% authentic. The best items would be their signature pho and sugarcane shrimp. The prices for the items on the menu are at least 20% less than the usual rate for the Vietnamese restaurants in Flushing, which is an incredibly great value for the quality of food that you are getting. The tricolor ice is very basic and not reminiscent of true Vietnamese desserts but the other items made up for that. The nuoc cham or fish sauce was very bland but the rice noodle vermicelli bowls are well balanced with lots of veggies and protein. Overall, great restaurant to dine in and would be even better if they had additional parking for customers. read more

Food is decent, but piece of hair in my pho, and you know how that can ruin a meal, so I won't elaborate. I informed waiter and he first offered a discount on the pho (I thought it should have been free), and later said store policy does not allow for discount. Was there previously when another customer had hair in her food, so I think it happens too often. Needless to say, I won't go back. read more

Let me just say in advance, that I love pho! Sometimes I travel all the way to Chinatown just to have some good pho with delicious authentic boiled for hours broth. So, when I found Pho Tan nearby, I wanted to try it. The prices were decent, and the reviews were pretty good so I was really hopeful, but this place did NOT hit! We ordered the House Special Pho, Beef ball Pho, spring rolls, and crispy shrimp rolls. The broth was lacking flavor, and even my boyfriend who is not picky about food did not enjoy his pho. He said the beef balls weren't good either. The spring rolls were mediocre at best even when wrapped in the lettuce and dipped with the fish sauce. The shrimp in the crispy shrimp rolls was a little mushy and still had the intestine and waste inside... The only thing positive I can say about both rolls were that they were still crispy despite sitting in the takeout box. This was the first time I could not finish a pho bowl and my half of the spring rolls, and by the end of the meal I felt so uncomfortably bloated. We can't see ourselves coming here again. read more

New Pho place in the neighborhood! This is a very new place and overall I will rate this 5 stars The soup base is very rich and the meat are in a good amount of quantity! The spring roll are good as well, very crispy! The pork chop is the best. Highly recommended! Food are pretty good here but service can be improved. All waitresses here are very nice but they seems very busy too. Just need to be patient! read more

Been driving by it a couple of times and set a time to go and try today. I was not disappointed. The last couple of Pho spots that have opened really has not been great, this place was very good. I love how nice and spacious it is inside. Clean and simple set up. Service was very friendly and food came out super fast. For my first visit obviously I had to order a good amount to try. My wife and I had ordered one of the pork chop pho and one rare ribeye pho. I really loved the broth in my ribeye pho. It was smooth and not overly salty. I actually drink most of it which I normally do not. The filet mignon cubes over rice was super tasty and tender. The pork chops were as tender as pork can get really and was a perfect seasoning. I also had the chicken satay, which here I really enjoyed. They use chicken thigh so it came out perfectly grilled and soft. I liked the peanut sauce that they provided. Now for the fried chicken wings, these were lightly fried and not over cooked. So the in was super moist and tender. I let them sit for a bit because I know they would be super hot. Even after like 5-10 mins they were still super hot. The batter that they used was gave it some extra crispy bit but not hard. Will always be getting these. As far as the drinks I had a Thai ice tea which they did a very good job. My wife especially liked her drink which was some honey calamansi drink. I personally did not like it much but I'm more basic with my drinks. She said it reminded her of this drink she would always get when we traveled to Shanghai. Overall I think this restaurant has lots of potential and next week I will bring my family and friends to try! read more

The best Vietnamese rice noodle I've ever had here Often eaten at Vietnamese rice noodle restaurants run by Koreans This restaurant is opened by Chinese, it is very suitable for Chinese taste I ordered 5 today, Spring Rolls, Fish Tofu, Cane Shrimp, Satay Beef, Locomotive all very tasty Among them, the sand beef is the best, tender and delicious! The heart of the cane shrimp is a cane sugar rod, the outside is wrapped with shrimp, and the charcoal is delicious. This is also amazing! Locomotive, this is noodles. Sufficient quantity, fresh soup! Ordered so much for 37 dollars, I can eat so I ordered more One person can order a noodle and a small snack, and the per capita consumption should be less than 20 dollars. This one is cheap! want to give 10 stars read more

Saw the grand opening and decided to give it a try. I usually go to Pho Best on Main Street. Ordered their rice noodle soup the first time I came here. Really love the soup, it's not overly salty yet very flavorful. There is a generous amount of beef in the soup as well. Second time coming here I ordered the grilled filet mignon rice vermicelli with no peanuts. The meat was abit tough but flavorful. Always ordered pork chops and they were really good and full of flavor. Definitely recommend it. Their grilled pork Bánh Mi is always really good and I definitely recommend it as well. read more

Wanted to try a new viet spot without realizing how close it was to main flushing. Street parking only. They have a nice open space with plenty of tables that can be converted to handle bigger groups. I liked that the menus were already on the table and the server was ready to take your order. We ordered the spring rolls, chicken satay, hot viet coffee, 2 bowls of the extra large house special pho. Spring rolls- very generous filling with meat and veggies, fish sauce was very lackluster and they gave one lettuce leaf to line the plate Chicken satay- it looks very flavorful but it definitely was not. It was very tender but it had no flavor without the peanut sauce. Pho- huge portions of noodles and meat. The broth itself lacked meat flavor and instead it tastes like it was full of MSG. It did not have a hearty meat flavor like other places. Service was quick and very attentive. The food was lacking a bit but had plenty of potential and the prices were on the cheaper side in comparison to other viet restaurants. read more

Super happy a pho place opened in Flushing that's not near Main Street. I got #2 pho with beef tendon and tripe. The broth was very flavorful and rich but it could use a little less salt or msg. The tendon was way too over cooked cause it was like jello. Personal preference that beef tendon should have some consistency to it. Might ask for a little less salt in the broth next time tho but since it was my first time, I wanted to try it exactly how they make it. The hot jasmine tea they gave was was amazingly aromatic. I also got a Vietnamese drip coffee and it was great as well. I would definitely come back and I encourage people in the neighborhood to try it and support small local businesses!!! read more

Pho tan is a new Vietnamese restaurant in flushing. There's definitely not enough of these in the area so I knew I had to check it out. The seating area is very spacious. Enough seating for all party sizes. I came when they were first opening so it took a while for the staff to check up on you but it was busy. They are probably better about it the longer they're open. Now onto the food. Personally I love banh mi and me and my friends got a chicken and a pork one. Unfortunately they didn't have the kind most places sell with the pate and sliced meat. But there's were pretty good nonetheless. Very generous on the meat portions, and they had their own sauce to add some creaminess to the sandwich. We also had a rice place with pork chop, shredded pork and egg crab patty. This one is just okay. The whole dish was dry but again, it was opening and they were busy so judging it with that in mind. Spring rolls were the thinner ones but they were packed with meat. No filler. Could be a bit more flavorful in my opinion but the fish sauce comes in handy. I personally didn't have the pho (sorry no pic) but I heard it was solid and you just can't go wrong with a bowl of pho. Overall this place is pretty decent. Come check this place out and judge for yourself! read more

Love this new establishment. This neighborhood finally has a new place for local residents to go whenever we feel like eating out and too lazy to cook. This is a very family, cozy, and homey place. It deserves all the positive reviews and raves soon to come. The food tastes like you're eating in the chef's home dining room. Very homey and not greasy or oily. The prices are unbeatable and so affordable. They are very generous with dish size too. I have so much leftovers that I took it home to eat the next day. The pho soup was the best dish. The broth was boiled for 10 hours! You can taste the chef's dedication and hard work. This is a perfect addition to this area. I will definitely be back and it's now my "go-to" place . read more

Food is relatively cheap. We walked at 8:50p (they close at 9:30p) but they did not tell us until we were seated that we had to order quickly because they were closing. That should have been a hint to walk away but we didn't want to be rude. Within 5 minutes of ordering a guy had come with the iPad apologizing but asking us to pay right away. We did. While eating our dinner, there was a rush of activities around us. Lots of loud talking because they're rushing to close. I get it they want to be able to leave on time. But, this isn't service! It's bait and switch! I told the guy that they should have told us they were closing and we would have gladly left. But to subject us to all the clean up activity was just rude. Go to Ginger and Lemongrass or somewhere else but avoid this place. read more

If you are craving GOOD pho in flushing, come here! I used to live near a Thai Son before I moved and was craving pho badly. After trying around 4 other places around flushing, I was almost out of hope. None of them had anything worth going back for. But then I discovered this gem. The pho tastes the best in the flushing area. I still prefer Thai Son if they were next to each other, but it his the spot when the cravings hit. The portions are great, and it's a bit pricey but it's not too expensive. I always order the house special big bowl pho (sometimes with fish balls) and spring rolls. I wish they gave more spring rolls in the order (those are a bit pricey because they're really small and have 4pcs for almost $6 or 8 for $10), but I have returned to order here at least 6 times in the past few months. Everytime I ordered it was to-go, and they haven't disappointed yet. I spoke with the owner when they first opened and she was very nice. The staff in general are very friendly and it looks clean inside from what i see during pickups. I haven't had a chance to eat here yet, but I definitely will one day. They're not on any delivery app but I enjoy it so I go for pickup when I can. read more

No frills neighborhood pho place. Pho is pretty good! A pretty good portion. The bahn mi sandwich is also great! On the sweet side, but their bread is crispy outside and soft inside. We usually also get shrimp summer rolls which has always been fresh. I think the only thing we didn't really enjoy was the lemongrass chicken over rice, which didn't have much meat, but beef cubes over rice was good. We've also eaten here a couple of times, and have not gotten sick yet - which is always a concern for me when I get raw vegetables at a restaurant. Servers are not there to give you a run down of today's specials, but they have always been courteous and efficient. read more

This place was close to me compared to Thai Terminal . Which was such a great experience. This place was also great ! The food and service was very quick and nice. I tried my go tos and they were pretty good. I will say the ambiance was very bright and welcoming but the servers were as welcoming. I felt like i was kinda bothering them which isn't a fun feeling in a restaurant. Never the less i had good meal . read more

Honestly they don't have the best tasting broth, BUT I love this place! The food portions are huge, the price is amazing, and I love the staff! They are really nice and the space is very spacious and large. Can accommodate large parties and it's very clean. We usually get the number 1 pho, the grilled pork chop (2 pork chops!) over rice, and the summer rolls! All super good! The Thai ice tea is also very good! I would always recommend this place for the value, space, and service! read more

Love this place!! We tried two different types of pho and the grill chicken Vietnamese sandwich. They all turned out to be so so so delicious!!! The prices were super reasonable! It's hard to find a restaurant with great value like Pho Tan! Great service and the tables were super clean. They take credit cards as well.

House specialCombo to go, this is the color of pho soup ??? Looks like the beef broth powder I buy at the Korean super market. No pho aroma , hard no for me. Been here in the past and was definitely not like this. Call the establishment to tell them this, and the response I got was ridiculous, "oh today broth is was like this because we simmer it for too long" I rather you not sell this and loose a customer. Thanks for the response and so called letting the kitchen know BS. read more

Solid viet food! Got take out both times and the food tasted great. House combo pho was affordable and had a good meat to noodle ratio. Soup was a tad less flavorful than I prefer, but I added some fish sauce and all was well. Tendon was a little too mushy imo but the other meats were nice and tender. Bonus points for having piping hot broth for to go orders. I do wish they gave more basil and less cilantro in the herb pack. The next time I went, I tried the grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli bowl. Grilled pork tasted delicious! It would be nice if they gave more sauce to pour over the noodles. Overall, I'd definitely come back. read more

NYC does not have great Vietnamese restaurants in general and this place follows suit but at least comes at a decent price. The pho is decent. The pork chop can vary in quality, sometimes it's thick and tastes great, sometimes you're given a skinny piece and and it's mediocre. I like their egg rolls. The summer roll sauce is a little different than expected, it's not typical. And the crab spring roll was not the best, the soft shell crab was a bit fishy. There's also Thai food here, which is not very good. Overall decent and well priced. read more

Food: Pretty good! I've gotten the pad thai and the beef pho from here before and both are pretty good options. Portion sizes are huge and will definitely fill you up The service is a bit lacking. Even during non-rush hours, it feels like there aren't enough servers. They're often forgetful of our requests. The service isn't bad enough to outweigh the food though. 5/5 read more

Im half viet so Ive eaten lots of vietnamese food and can say im a good judge of good viet food. This spot has really good pho. the soup is good. their other stuff isnt as good, but still pretty good. They have a large variety of selections, also has thai food. So its like a viet/thai fusion place. Service is not bad either. Can be better. only bad point is they close early. 9pm. Every other viet place around flushing closes at least 10pm. Most of my friends and family likes it too so if youre near by, come give it a try. read more

We ordered a large Pho Noodle. As I am using my spoon to scoop the soup, I noticed a piece of hair. I figured it's just one hair so I took it out. At this point I did not call the waiter over since I do not like to be petty. Unfortunately after finding 5+ hair, it was necessary to bring it to the waiter's attention. We were told it is tendon hair coming from the cow. It did not look like animal hair to me. It looked like an employee had gotten a haircut prior to starting his shift and did not wear a hairnet causing the hair to fall into my soup. The waiter apologized but did not offer a solution. It is unacceptable whether it is tendon hair or human hair. There should be no hair in any meal. Period. I am disappointed in my dining experience as I am a regular here. This is my 5th visit and have always ordered the Pho Noodle soup here. I hope Pho Tam will do better next time handling a hair situation. read more

Conclusion: You should DEFINITELY try it while the getting is good. Pho Tan has some standout dishes/items (See below) that are fairly priced and offer tremendous value with respect to quality/portion/taste. Eat in is a fine experience, while the takeout experience is strong with solid/stable packaging and labels on every item. What Pho Tan does very very well: Vietnamese Coffee Pork/Shrimp Banh-Mi Sandwiches Curry (And Curry w/Shrimp Banh-Mi Sandwiches) BBQ Pork Crispy Shrimp Roll (This is a simple yet comparatively top notch dish, try it!) Thai Iced Coffee Local Scene: My favorite local Vietnamese place is just a short walk away in the 156th St Plaza ("156th"), and my favorite local Banh Mi Sandwich place is near the Murray Hill Train Station "Murray Hill". These are established businesses which Pho Tan is directly competing with and I measure Pho Tan against these offerings. Restaurant Experience: I dropped into Pho Tan on a weeknight, placed a big order of all my favorite Viet/Thai dishes and grabbed a seat for some iced Vietnamese Coffee. I love the space and window seats seemed popular. It was surprisingly busy at 9pm. The Vietnamese Coffee came in this cool to go cup that reminded me of the Magic Bullet blender thing with a sealed bubble tea style top. I would stop in just to grab one of those coffees, it was excellent. I tried the Thai Iced Tea on a subsequent visit and will definitely be ordering again. They don't get crazy with the half/half and it has a smooth/light finish. Food: Curry dishes are a bit light base-wise, but portions are generous to say the least. Flavor is quite nice with a good kick, and I would certainly order again. Pork Banh-Mi sandwiches are OUTSTANDING. These challenge my favorite place (Murray Hill) and even my Chinatown place, which is an achievement in itself for a relatively new establishment. I don't know where Pho Tan sources the bread for these, but they should keep that under wraps, as this is the best Banh-Mi bread I have ever tasted. Pork is great and it all comes together with the soft bread and special sauce...They are a bargain at the current price. Shrimp Banh-Mi sandwiches should be paired with Curry, as you can dip the sandwich in the Curry which produces a lovely flavor explosion. This was such a neat surprise and I highly recommend trying at least once. Squid and Pork BBQ dishes were quite good as well. I highly recommend the Pork BBQ, as their pork dishes and pork itself is just awesome. Portions are generous. Try the crispy shrimp appetizer with the dipping sauce. I have had this dish elsewhere and the one they do here is easily number 1. Also a great value at the current price. read more

Pho is always a good idea on a rainy day. Pho Tan was certainly an interesting experience for me. The pho, as seen in the picture, came with rectangular slabs of gelatinous tendon which was a contrast to the irregular shaped cuts you'd normally get. One of my chef friends said it's a French technique, which I thought was pretty unique. I agree with the other reviews on how they do provide you with a good portion of meat for the price. The soup actually made it into my top 3 for NYC pho. The broth was at a desirable thickness and was not overwhelming. My only complaint is that they cooked the noodles for too long because as soon as the reheated soup was poured over, the strands of noodles broke into pieces. The grilled beef entree was not even close to the picture I showed the staff but it still tasted decent. To be honest, I've never had grilled beef in a rolled cigar form - it actually looks cool and the rice was good although it wasn't the traditional cơm tấm ("broken rice") I was looking for but again, it was good. I would most likely return for more pho. read more

Came here for a quick meal on a Friday 2pm and order the large bowl of Pho (No. 1 on menu's in authentic Vietnamese restaurants). Went to wash my hands in the bathroom and saw them bringing out my order just as I was headed to my seat. In all, good portion of meats and they gave basil for the raw vegetables so I was a happy camper. The soup could have been hotter but it cooked the meat and heated the vegetables. However, there is a considerate amount of msg to make up for the savory flavor of the food and I am sensitive to msg. Within an hour of eating, the dehydration and dry irritated throat kicked in, and my stomach felt like it was being prepped for a colonoscopy. I'm not saying everyone will have similar symptoms but might be wise to let the flavors do the work and cut back on the msg. Good healthy food shouldn't need much or any and it would be wise to let the aromatics do their part instead. In all, I would still come back to this new establishment to support the female staff of employees. I hope they can keep up on a weekend as some have stated service is inconsistent. read more
