    I am Vietnamese and I have to say -- the Vietnamese iced coffee was really good and it was a very reasonable price. It was just over $5 and it comes with a lot of iced coffee and a reasonable amount of ice. It is perfect for road trips. They take Apple Pay too which is a really good plus! The staff was nice.

    Shrimp Summer Rolls & Chicken Satay Skewers
    Chun M.

    There are plenty of Vietnamese Pho places to visit in Flushing and I'm making my way through all of them. The latest on the list is Pho Tan on Northern Blvd and we're here for dinner. The dining room is spacious and on a Tuesday night, we have no problem getting a table. We start with some Shrimp Summer Rolls that come with a tangy sesame sauce and Chicken Satay with a sweet & savory peanut sauce, both good appetizers. My wife also had the Thai Glass Noodle Salad with Chicken, normally as an appetizer but as her entrée. Be careful of those tiny slices of red chili pepper because they are deadly spicy! Pho Tan's #1 火車頭 Locomotive Beef Pho bowl is the BiGGeSt I've ever encountered! And I have never met a pho bowl I didn't like. The #1 is an XL bowl that is a full 10" in diameter! The way the server balances 2 full bowls of hot liquid is impressive. I judge all pho places by their Locomotives. They might go by different names with slight variations, but it all "boils" down to the broth, rice noodles and sliced beef. It is filled with fragrant broth, generous portion of noodles, tasty & tender slices of eye round, brisket, tendon, tripe and garnished with plenty of green & white onions. At other places, the flavor of the beef usually gets lost in the broth, but these slices had distinct flavors all their own. They also give you even more garnishes on a plate with lemon wedges, bean sprouts, fresh sprigs of basil and cilantro to customize the flavor & texture. For an added $2, you can even add a quartet of fish balls. Enjoy it while it is steaming hot!

    Very good experience at Pho Tan with one of my best friends for dinner on a Wednesday. We were able to pick our own table which was nice. We shared the soft shell crab spring rolls which were very tasty. My friend recommended I try the traditional Vietnamese drink called Calamansi which is made out of kumquats. It was very fruity and refreshing. I had the big bowl combo pho with rare rib eye, brisket, tendon, and tripe. So flavorful and worth the money.

    I got off the Murray Hill LIRR and was looking for a cheap restaurant. As I walked around Northern Blvd, I saw that this place was almost full and reviewed the menu outside. After ensuring it would be less than $20 I walked in! Food: 4/5 I ordered the Rare ribeye pho and a summer roll. The summer roll had fresh shrimp and was tasty but was missing the thai basil I love. This seeemed to be replaced by iceberg lettuce. The peanut dip that companies it was okay not my favorite. My beef pho had a generous amount of beef in the bowl - like the most meat in pho I have every had. However, the broth was not super hot and quite flat flavor wise. But for the cost, this was most definitely worth it. Once I sat down they were very quick to take my order and send the food out. I appreciated it especially since it was a cold day. All in all, I would go back if I am in the area and need some cheap eats. However, I am not going out of my way to come back here.

    Grilled beef 9/10 The meat was very juicy and sweet! Big bowl house special combo 8/10 Good amount of meat for a reasonable price. The downsides are: light flavor in the broth, and the fat in some of the meat was not removed Vietnamese Drip Coffee 8/10 It has the right flavor and was not too sweet Pad Thai shrimp 7/10 Sweet noodles. Lots of big shrimp. I counted around 6 in there.

    First time trying this spot. Food was overall good and nicely presented. The pho broth was a bit lighter in flavor than we are used so we were a bit disappointed. Portions were great for the value. The restaurant was bright, clean and fairly spacious. Staff was friendly and service was great (but we dined in between the lunch and dinner rush).

    This is our go to pho place. The place is a good size restaurant with many 2 and 4 tables but only one large table for 10. Can't bring a large group during dinner hour or it's going to be a long wait. We like starting with the shrimp rolls as an appetizer. They use whole, large shrimps. Then hubby usually gets the large bowl with assorted beef, tendon, tripe in a soup broth. The #1. They bring basil, lemon, and bean sprouts on the side that you can add, there are various condiments on the table in a caddy you can use to spice up the taste. I had the pork on vermicelli noodles. It was loaded with carrots, peanuts,tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts and grilled pork slices, vermicelli in a little bit or sauce and a cup full so you can add more. The pork was nicely grilled but a little too fatty this time. Hopefully it won't happen again. Otherwise we had a good meal

    Reasonably priced menu but pho broth was a bit bland and lacking flavor. Nice portions but service was really dismal where guests were served their dish every 15 minutes? I was practically finished when my seatmate just got his meal. A group of 11 and each was served about 10-15 mins apart. The best eat was the fried shrimp roll. Even then the 2 orders came 10- minutes apart. Luckily the company was good and made the wait bearable.

    Reasonably priced and exactly what I'd expect from a pho place! We got the grilled beef over vermicelli, the grilled pork chop over rice, and my friends got the cubed beef over rice and the pho. The grilled beef and grilled pork chop are seasoned well, no complaints. The cubed beef over rice is a bit hearty, almost like they cooked it in butter. The pho portions are quite large. The restaurant feels spacious and is very family friendly!

    I was so excited to try this new spot that opened in Northern Boulevard but I was disappointed. The service was slow on a Sunday afternoon. I understand they just opened up but they took forever just to bring us water and chopsticks. We had to call the servers a few times to take our order and bring us utensils. The food came out very quickly but the pho was just disappointing. The broth was very dark and warm, but not hot. The meat was overwhelming, it was just way too much meat and it wasn't tender enough to eat. The grilled pork chop was good but small portions and the summer rolls were just ok. I know it's a new establishment but work needs to be done for improvement. I won't be back again.

    Finally a Pho spot near home that actually tastes good and inexpensive with spacious seating. They have been open for 2 weeks already and I got my family to go try it out with me. We all enjoyed our meals, didn't have any leftovers at all. What we ordered: Large spring rolls Watercress in garlic Filet mignon cubes (beef cubes) over rice Grilled beef over rice House special combo pho Beef brisket tendon pho Grilled pork chop, shredded pork, egg crab pork patty over rice Tri color ice The 2 ladies working spoke English, Cantonese and mandarin. Definitely coming back to try their Banh Mi's. Really hoping it's good because everywhere else in Queens isn't like the ones we like from Chinatown.

    I was excited to see a new Pho place opened up near my house! Love trying new places, especially family businesses. I came here back in April when they were still pretty new. Service was.... not the best. We were standing around for awhile until someone noticed and seated us. They were definitely not prepared to be busy! My bf and I ordered the house special combo pho, grilled chicken banh mi, sugercane shrimp, filet mignon cubes, and a viet coffee. The pho was a little more oily than I'm used to, still good though. I actually REALLY enjoyed the banh mi. The bread was sooo good, not too hard and perfectly toasted. Love that they also put a lot of daikon and carrot. Chicken was also super moist. Definitely getting this again. Also $8 is a really good price! The sugercane shrimp was okay, but I'd probably pass on this to try something else next time. Also wasn't a fan of the filet mignon cubes. I wish there was some sort of glaze? Or a better sauce or seasoning. It fell flat. Finally, when we were already mid way, almost done, I realized that our Viet coffee had yet to arrive! I had to ask 2 times and it finally came out at the end. Overall, great place and I will be back! Definitely for the banh mi and to try some other things. Hopefully after a few months, service has improved too.

    Grilled Beef Banh Mi via Uber. They should call it The Carnivore's dream. Absolutely LOADED with hefty amounts of thick grilled beef strips. It also travels well. Fresh baked bread retained its crisp exterior while maintaining warmth within. 10/10. Would order for consecutive meal. See pic for scale

    I can't believe I never wrote a review for Pho Che after dining here multiple times over the years…read more I have been a huge fan of their pho broth and their grilled pork chops. They are both always seasoned very well and make a delicious meal. However, the price seems to have increased tremendously for the side of pork chop (almost doubled since they first opened). We opted to try their spicy pho and BBQ pork banh mi on a Saturday. The entire restaurant was packed with plenty of diners waiting for a table. Our food came out quickly and we were able to share our pho with an extra bowl. The spicy broth was indeed spicy and pretty flavorful. There was plenty of meat and aromatics to accompany the dish. I really enjoyed the dish but towards the end, it was just a bit too spicy. The large bowl also had plenty of noodles for two people. The bbq pork banh mi was not as great as other shops that specialize in freshly made banh mi. The pork was seasoned well but the sandwich felt a bit bare and lacking. Overall, I do love supporting Pho Che as my local pho spot and hope they continue to serve amazing food.

When you pull up during peak hours, the street parking might feel like....a scavenger hunt, but you can find a spot if you're patient. Step inside, and you are instantly enveloped in a warm, genuinely welcoming atmosphere. It's very spacious. The decor carries a 3.5 score because it is a little dated, but it more than makes up for it with the customer service and the comfort of the environment. The kitchen delivers a consistency that never misses. The crown jewel here (at least in my opinion) is the Number 10 Flank Steak Pho, featuring a clean, soul-warming broth packed with tender bits of flank steak.

The summer rolls and calamari were good, you could taste the freshness of the veggies and shrimp. I wish the calamari had been a bit crispier and seasoned with a touch more salt and pepper, but it was still very good. The real reason I'll be coming back is the pho broth. Some people might describe it as slightly sweet, but to me, it had a rich, balanced flavor. I'm not sure if the short rib is available all the time (it does have a lot of fat, as beef short rib often does), but it was flavorful. Definitely coming back to try more.

( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.
