And, on top of all the flavor, you could tell it was salty--a lot less of a sweet pho--and it was amazing! More salt= ("Thumbs up baby") ...that's a Project Hail Mary reference... basically it had more salt and it was amazing! The noodles were the thinner kind but really good, not too clumpy but still had enough stick so that you could chop-stick a good bite down the hatch. Beef... amazing! Meat balls, stellar as always (though I wish there was more in it) and the tripe was good like tripe should be. Beautifully done. I haven't had pho in a while but I know good pho and I know bad pho and this really good pho with its own signature, unique flavor! The venue wasn't tiny but it definitely was limited. My brother and I went on a Friday night at the end of May and there were about 4 or 5 parties ahead of us waiting. We had maybe a 30 or 35 minute wait ...definitely worth it though. I wonder what the business is on a weekday evening in a different, more colder month...? Friendly staff. I'm not sure if this is standard cultural practice or not but my brother and I noticed someone from a family at one table pour what looked like a dark-reddish drink from their wine glass into one of the sauce bottles that belonged to the restaurant and placed it back in the center of the table... perhaps my eyes deceived me but I know they poured their drink back into the sauce bottle that I'm pretty sure they placed back at the center of the table... maybe they didn't end up leaving it at the table and it was a family brought sauce thing but I'm almost certain it belonged to the restaurant. (Maybe also it was completely empty and that's why they poured their drink down it... I have no idea why or what but it was weird. ...if you as the customer are at all concerned about stranger's backwash in your table sauce I would recommend avoiding the table sauces altogether... The decorations inside were homy. I'd give this restaurant an 8&1/2 or 9 out of ten.

The pho itself was underwhelming because the brisket was tough and I couldn't finish it. The soup was just okay, I've had better in Brooklyn and Manhattan. My family ordered the rice dishes as they have come here before and had advised the rice was better than the pho. The grilled pork chop on rice was pretty good. It was fragrant, delicious, and the portion size was decent. The grilled chicken on rice was also good.

The place is quiet and welcoming and just loved this place! Can't wait to go back so that I can take pics! Please stop by here if you're in the mood for delicious authentic Vietnamese food!

Been searching for a solid bowl of hu tieu kho, which is virtually impossible and nonexistent in…read moreNYC. Had Em bookmarked for the longest time, because they seemed to be one of the few places that had it. I can attest that this place absolutely hits the nail on the head. We arrived as soon as they opened and it was rather empty, but customers slowly trickled in. The space is pretty small and tight -- probably fits ~20 people total. We were almost elbow to elbow with the table next to us, but don't let that deter you from a good meal. Service is quite fast, because our food was brought out almost immediately after we ordered. They serve hu tieu wet and dry, but I usually gravitate towards the dry noodle with soup on the side. The hu tieu could use a little more meat and toppings, but overall still a very solid and flavorful bowl with a lot of freshness from the herbs. The broth, served with a hefty chunk of pork bone, was very comforting and I usually like slowly mixing spoonfuls of the broth with my noodles to coat them a little more for flavor. Also ordered cha gio and nem nuong cuon for the table to share. Loved how refreshing the nem nuong cuon was and portion size of the nem nuong. I could've done without the cha gio; it was a bit on the smaller side and didn't really stand out to me much. Overall pretty authentic spot that has answered my calling for a solid bowl of hu tieu that I can't find anywhere else in the city.

My bf and I shared a family-style Bo Kho (Beef stew), and it was tasty, but it wasn't really family-style. I could've easily eaten it myself, and they didn't give much food. Maybe I'm just a big back. We even had to order extra rice because it wasn't enough-- they said the stew came with banh mi, but they didn't even give a full piece of bread, like, bruhhhhh rationing I also felt like the soup wasn't thick enough to be called a stew; it was more like a broth. The workers also kind of ignore you, which is a double-edged sword because either you could be busy talking, or you could be waiting to order...

This took me 30 mins of waiting when I was the only person in store (after 10 someone came in for a milkshake and still got theirs first) because of the lack of organization and staffing in store. Then I find o it uber charged me for the order that was "cancelled" and when I contacted uber they said that poke bowl station completed the order in their end and that since I reached out after 48 hours I could not be refunded because the order was completed. The fact that the order was cancelled then the store proceeded to "complete" an order that obviously wasn't completed because it was never picked up is shady. It is on them and uber that I got double charged by trying to try a new spot. I got scammed and paid double for a sub par meal that I had to work extra hard to get? Shame. Glad you like to scam money from customers to hire an incompetent staff.
