Crystal M.

Stop by on a Sunday afternoon as I was in the area. Cute little place, intimate, has bar seatng as well. Hostess was very nice. I was able to sit immediately with no reservation. I decided to start with the ginger ale, the crispy spring rolls and the steak and brisket pho, which was phenomenal. The broth had an amazing depth of flavor. Noodles were cooked to perfection, the crispy spring rolls were hot and crunchy. The sauce that came with it was great. I'd stop by again.

Steak and Brisket Pho (tough brisket)
Christine L.

Came for dinner on a weeknight with a friend around 6, there was no wait which was great. Service was quick and attentive and we both ordered the Steak and Brisket Pho which came out within a couple minutes. The broth was good, but the brisket itself was inedible from how tough and chewy it was. The thinner meat (steak?) was okay but not flavorful and still a bit tough. Noodles were fine but overall the serving size was also on the small size given the price

Pho: Steak and Brisket
Lori C.

Hidden gem on the UWS. Had their beef brisket pho and it's comforting to have during the winter. The broth is very tasty! Also their kimchi fries are amazing. The restaurant is nice and quick service when you dine in. I will be back and would get the same thing and even try more things on their menu!

Chicken curry that looks like a 4 year old prepared
Jannelle P.

I just ordered food here tonight and was highly disappointed with the portion that I received for what I paid. The $9 fries were literally thrown in a service tray and messy, the shrimp soup was decent, but it had a weird aftertaste. And I got the the curry chicken for my Dad, I was embarrassed by how the presentation looked to give to him and more so pissed by spending over $20 for that. Don't order from here hungry, you'll be pissed you wasted your money like I did.

Tofu curry
Dimpie S.

This place has amazing and kind service! They stayed open late for me to catch up with my friends and were so pleasant. Honestly 5/5 for service. The restaurant is very homely with limited seating but it's a classic Vietnamese restaurant. The food was above average with plenty of vegetarian options. The curry puffs not pictured were really good. The curry was good too with flavor. Normally vegetarian Vietnamese food lacks flavor but I was pleasantly surprised. The dessert wasn't the best but would definitely come back for dinner!

Broth
Macarena O.

I'm a little disappointed with this Vietnamese spot.. it's very pricey for the amount of food they give you (maybe I'm used to California portions when it comes to Pho). We got the veggie pho with a side of tofu, a side of beef and extra noodles. Everything was ok, the service was fast and nice and the restaurant look cute, but again very little amount - especially the broth.

Plum Vietnamese for me falls in between 3 and 4 stars. The ambiance is nice and staff were great but the food was alright. Not bad and not great at the same time. Missing the usual side of condiments that go with pho and the broth itself was somewhat bland and missing the aromatics you'd expect like star anise. I think a few tweaks, Plum could be in the 4 star range. I'll give it 3.9

Chicken Pho
Allen L.

If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, this isn't exactly the place. The food is, however, okay and I appreciate any restaurant that takes on creating Vietnamese dishes We dined in and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I went with the chicken pho. With the cold day lingering around, the soup was much needed. The chicken pho's broth was extremely light. I swore it was just water, at first look. The soup had a light brine and chicken taste, but this contrasts starkly from other pho places. I'm used to chicken pho with a dense broth and richer chicken profile. I'm open to trying other items again, but I'm in no hurry.

Is this place dog-friendly?

It's tiny so I would think it would be uncomfortable to have a dog. I don't know what their indoor dining schedule Is like, I ate outside.

Popped into this new Vietnamese spot by Herald Square for a quick weekday lunch. The place is fresh…read moreand clean, with a modern self-serve setup where you order via iPad. I got the pho ($21.78), which is steep for pho, but I guess that's Midtown prices for you. The wait was a slog--over 20 minutes for a bowl of pho, which other Yelp reviews warned about. When it finally arrived, the soup lacked that authentic pho aroma, which was a letdown. On the plus side, the beef was fresh, and the reusable to-go bag was a nice touch. Decent, but the wait and price make it hard to love. Might try again if they speed things up.

Okay, so I came back after a couple weeks from my first visit and had the most perplexing…read moreexperience. I ordered "Plain Pho", which is described as just broth and noodles, no garnish or meat. After waiting 30 minutes, for what is literally the simplest item on the menu, the bowl is brought out and it's a bowl of broth with a couple slices of chicken. No noodles. When I inquired, the server told me it's because I ordered the Plain Pho... yea and I said it comes with noodles and broth. They told me they could get me noodles, but acted like they were doing me a favor by fetching noodles for me, which was quite offputting because the noodles were quite literally half of the dish I actually ordered. How does one wait half-an-hour at a very casual fast Vietnamese food place, for premade soup and noodles, and still have the order wrong? In the end, I did get my noodles and broth, but the fact that I had to spend this much time and also justify my request for noodles (which are part of the dish) is quite insane. I put this at 2 stars for now, because I enjoyed my first time. Hopefully the service will improve.

This is one of new favorite go to places for Vietnamese food. I think when considering both the…read morecost and the flavor, it is the best I have found. It is usually packed during meal times so expect a wait or choose to order take out to save on wait times. I personally love when the Bahn mi is stuffed with both the meat and veggies, it has the perfect ratio. Sometimes there's not enough filling and it feels like you are only eating bread, but at Nom Nam that is definitely not the case. The Pho was also pretty flavorful and it wasn't the best I have had but it was still really good given that I haven't found too many Pho places that I love in nyc. I definitely recommend adding Nom Nam to your lists of places to try!

I'm not in the area very often so this review is for first impressions…read more Naturally how I heard about this place is how any of us hear about anywhere now... TikTok. Do I agree it's "the best pho in nyc"? Hell no. Would I say it's a pretty damn solid pho? *bleep* yeah. I think it also helped that there was a surprising amount of Vietnamese people dining there. For perspective, we're a bit of a rare breed in nyc itself and much less in this pocket of Manhattan. Suffice it to say, it's a Viet restaurant worth going out of your way for. So-- here are the things I unexpectedly like about Nom Nam: * I love love love the diner homage. It's common for new restaurants to play it safe or create an environment of grandeur, that people are often adverse to have fun. This checkered multi-colored menu, neon sign having, is unapologetically fun. The sign on the wall "troi dat oi" is a passive aggressive phrase all Vietnamese moms say. I could do with a different name than "Nom Nam" but it is easy to remember. * The pho: SOLID! Can we take a minute and celebrate reliability without admonishing mediocrity? I like eating upscale obscured ingredients more than the next guy but I'd much prefer a consistent reliably good savory pho or a cold/hungover/sick night. * The Bo Luc Lac: look... or luc (hehe don't kill me-- my gf just sneered at me), the BLL did not have that desired wok hay seared outside but the meat-- tender, the sauce-- immaculate, my stomach-- happy. Honestly I'd buy that sauce alone. Things I didn't like (or care for really): * The cocktail: I like a place with a dedicated cocktail list bespoke to them but they played it safe here. There was one item that could be considered the most Vietnamese but it came off generic. I mean it's a good cocktail but lacks that special flair the rest of the restaurant is doing great at. * The wings: the wings were good. In fact, they tasted exactly how my mom makes them and she's considered the best cook out of 7 siblings. That being said, 4 wings? I know, you probably don't wanna do that either; I blame the economy... and a certain party making the economy worse as we speak. * The pho descriptions on the menu: as a Viet, I even had a hard time discerning what makes each one distinct. I feel like ai would be a good use case here to help Things I'll be coming back for: * Them Banh Mis * The coffees * The homemade limeade & salted plum I appreciate the waitress admitting the limeade was really sweet, so I'll go on a day where I had a good gym sesh or something

Drinks are awesome too and there is happy hour after 9pm with draft beer only at $5, very good deal. However the service upstairs was so bad that I almost made a scene. I waited a long time to get my check which I was already a little annoyed as the two servers including our server made eye contact with me several times and they ignored us. Once we got the check we asked for a to go box which they say they'll get us right away. However, they proceed to work on not important task like placing napkins and utensils on empty tables ( im sure it's not an urgent task since there is lots of empty tables with napkins and utensils) so I waited like 5 mins more while making multiple eye contact with him and he still didn't get the box for me. I had to walk to him and ask can I get my box please to finally get my thing. The very nice gentlemen next table even asked if I were ok and offer to buy me beer. And the ironic part is that they ordered beer like 20 mins ago and that didn't came so I kindly said no thanks.

Midtown New York is not exactly known for quiet, intimate dining experiences. It is known for…read morecrowds, noise, and restaurants that seat you next to a stranger close enough to accidentally share an appetizer. So when my family stumbled into Pho 39, a tiny spot with just a handful of tables tucked away from the chaos outside, it felt less like finding a restaurant and more like discovering a Rebel outpost that somehow survived undetected in the middle of Imperial territory. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a solid Vietnamese spot: pho, combination rice plates, the usual lineup. We were ready to order and move on with our lives. Then we saw the tacos. Vietnamese tacos. On the menu. Sitting right there between the banh mi and the spring rolls like they'd always belonged. Nobody in my family said anything for a full three seconds, which for us is basically a standing ovation. We ordered the duck spring rolls to start, which were fresh, well packed, and disappeared faster than a starfighter in hyperspace. For the mains we went with the beef flank pho and the banh mi combination special. The pho had a clean, well developed broth that clearly had some time put into it, and the beef flank was tender enough to make you slow down and pay attention. The banh mi combo was solid, balanced, and hit all the right notes. We did not get the tacos this visit, which means we have a built in reason to return and nobody can argue with that logic. For a small room in the middle of one of the busiest cities on the planet, Pho 39 manages to feel genuinely calm and focused. Good food, good value, and a menu with enough surprises to keep things interesting. The Force is strong with this little spot.

I sat down for pho. You get a lot of noodles but that doesn't make it worth it.
