    Classic Banh Mi
    Benedict C.

    I went to Phobar with my family post-Nets game. It's a short walk away from the Barclays Center so it's a solid option for food before or after an event. My cousin made a reservation beforehand so we were seated very quickly. The place is on the smaller side but there are a decent amount of seats. The waitress was pretty quick to take our order and I also noticed she was tending the bar too. I went with the Classic Banh Mi and a hot Vietnamese coffee. Both items were fantastic and I think the Banh Mi was pretty good value. It was less than $9 and it was a really good banh mi. The bread was crunchy without being overly dry. It had all the classic fillings including a generous helping of pate. I tried my girlfriend's pork chop and it was good, nothing amazing. My other companions seemed to enjoy their dishes. I'd come back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    Jasmine Iced Tea

    So I had been hearing the buzz about this pho spot for some time and wanted to try it for while. So happy I chose today to try them out. A nicely lit environment , exposed brick wall bright lights , easy going light hearted music and chill. Diverse crowd and nice vibes. I was seated and my order was taken by one of the owners and she was so sweet. Even helped me choose what to try as it was my first time trying pho! Food4/5: Mama Q Wonton Pho was very fresh and tasty where I could taste the ginger in the broth and other ingredients incorporated. Appetizers: Fried Calamari 10/10 so delish! Drink : Mango Jasmine ice tea fresh and not too sweet but sweet enough. May need to stir it up a bit because the sweetness settles at the bottom. Service : 5/5 I was seated in a timely manner , got a text with my number & that I was on waitlist. The owners took my order , was pleasant and smiles a lot made me feel happy to be here. Ambiance : 3/5 Nice , simple nothing to over the top. Cute vibe.

    Brisket Pho
    Albert H.

    Just remember these three words. Short. Rib. Pho. I give Phobar a warm welcome to Brooklyn as the pho here definitely warms my soul on a cold and rainy day. The short rib pho was excellent, served with bone and all. The rib meat was so soooo tender that i didn't need a knife to cut into it at all. It just melted away in the delicate pho broth and complemented the noodles perfectly. Also, I loved the complemented Vietnamese ice coffee made with coconut milk, which was a nice touch. Overall, the pho here was very solid for the area, and I will be returning if I need my pho fix and to try some of the other dishes.

    Literally amazed!!! I ordered DoorDash from here for a weekday lunch. I tried the lemongrass chicken pho and had to get a Vietnamese iced coffee. Oh my god was I surprised. I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out to me one of the best meals I've had in NYC. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the broth is amazing. They even provided a pho spoon for takeout orders, which there is no better way of enjoying your meal! The iced coffee was also top 3 for me. It was strong but sweet and not overpowering. Did I want to order this again the next day? Yes. I wish they opened a little earlier so I can walk and grab a coffee before I type my life away but for now we wait until 11.

    Grilled Pork Chops Pho

    We came here for brunch on a rainy Sunday. We felt that a warm, savory broth of pho was weather-appropriate. We fell in love right away with the restaurant concept. Although there are regular tables, we opted to dine at the pho bar for the experience. We went straight down to business. My partner ordered classic beef pho, and I had the grilled pork chop pho with rice noodles served with cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, daikon, and Vietnamese chili sauce, topped with scallions and fried shallots. It was so hearty, well-portioned, and freshly prepared, perfect for rainy weather. With the good vibe, great price point, and friendly and attentive staff, this place is a must!

    Fried Spring Rolls

    My second time here, and every bite was as delicious as my first time. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and Thai milk tea for drinks. These drinks had the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. Spring rolls were crispy and bursting with flavor. We also had oxtail pho and short rib vermicelli. The oxtail was very soft and pho was great. Short ribs still fell off the bone, but definitely felt much lighter than having the pho version. Service was great as always. Staff was very attentive. Please note this is a cash only establishment, but prices were very reasonable.

    My daughter is the foodie and she never had Pho ( neither have I) . She wanted to go to park slope to eat . I looked up the place. Extremely hospitable and welcoming! The staff was great and recommended what we would enjoy . Great atmosphere . Cash only .

    Fried Spring Rolls

    Very cute interior with different seating options available. If you're lucky you can get one of the booths. Otherwise there's counter seating that surrounds the bar in the middle of the restaurant or one of larger communal tables. Each seating area has chopsticks, poison sauce, and sriracha there. Service is on point; not coming by too much but often enough you're taken care of. My boyfriend and I were super hungry that day, and we had the bok choy and fried spring rolls as apps. They both tasted great. (Although I may have felt a bit guilty paying $8 for that small portion of bok choy... no regrets!) I ordered the spicy short rib pho. The short rib really falls off the bone and is delicious meat. There were also sooo many noodles in my soup! My boyfriend got the combo - classic beef pho and classic pork banh mi. Both were good and a great deal of $16 when you're feeling indecisive, although it wasn't amazing beef pho nor amazing banh mi. Still great meal though, and I'd go back!

    Phobar seems to be a pretty popular local spot, and I can see why. They are a cash only establishment, but if you did happen to forget to bring any, they do have an ATM (not sure how much the fee is). For my drink, I got the passion fruit soda which was very tasty. My meal was the crispy catfish banh mi. Perfectly hit the spot. I did ask for mine to be spicy and it sure was - I'll probably ask for something milder next time, haha. Wish they gave a few more shrimp chips though, those are always so yummy. Really cute restaurant (their Halloween décor right now is amazing). Totally worth the visit!

    Brisket Pho

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I been here a countless amount of times since October '24. The truth is in the broth okay?! I'll be back with another review because I'll be back at pho bar lol Let me tell you, the best soup for hangover, sickness, or when your stomach just needs a hug. They have great drink options, my favorite is the passion fruit soda. It's been a bit busy for the past few months but spoke with a worker the other day and you have to come at less busy times. We were seated around 4, IMMEDIATELY. Lunch had just finished and it was empty. Plus we finally got our booth seat lol. It gets so busy that you could wait for a few hours, we never had to, maybe 45 min with 2 ppl but if you request a booth, expect longer wait times. I enjoyed being here during the slow time, it was more relaxed and the workers seem more chill too. We'll be back, no matter the weather!

    Sat at the bar with her friends on a cold Tuesday evening. It was still pretty busy which I was impressed with. As everyone is well aware this is cash only. We tried the chili wonton special appetizer and then we each did the half pho half bahn mi (both beef) classic. It was nice to sample both, the pho was good, as expected, nothing spectacular but solid. Bahn mi had good flavor

    Dakota L.

    This place is AMAZING. Literally the best banh mi I've ever had. It's cash only but I would go back a million times if Iived near it. They do have an ATM in the back.

    Spicy Short Rib Pho
    Kaz G.

    I usually prefer ramen to pho, but this place could change my mind. The Spicy Short Rib Pho was PHOnomenal! 10/10 I loved the flavor of the broth, and the meat fell right off that bone. The noodles were so good I wanted another serving. The spring rolls were fine. It's first come seating so make sure to get there earlier than your appetite and bring cash.

    21.90- (2) Spicy Brisket Lunch 10/10 The brisket was flavorful. The Spring Roll was crispy and delicious.

Konditori, Villager, Bakeri, Hidden Grounds, and now Velvette Brew. First, the space: light, airy and I can imagine with their big windows, a sun soaked place on a sunny day. There are plenty of seats: tables and high top tables. Their menu offers a bit of everything from soup, sandwiches, quiche and pastries. There is a nice option of beverages hot/cold. Today, was a bit damp so I ordered a hot chai with bite size checkerboard cookies to dip. The barista was very pleasant and I found a seat while waiting for my chai. I see a lot of patrons working in laptops, some meeting up to talk and sip and even the barista chatted with a local patron. Love it! My chai was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The chai was frothy, rich, the black tea leaves infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, sweetener, and milk. I savored every sip and complimented the barista. It is always great to find a new coffee place. I expect to be a loyal local at Velvette Brew. They also host music events and have a collaboration with Cry Baby Ice Cream.

I would advise not to sit there if possible. FYI, it was not crowded with many open tables but I guess they sat us there due to lack of servers.
