Very Americanized, but the fish sauce was surprisingly pretty authentic. First of all, why are there tomatoes and carrots in my vermicelli bowl... And where is the chargrilled chicken...this was sautéed chicken atop a bed of noodles. I had also ordered iced viet coffee and it was weak. Seems like it was premade prior and just poured into a cup for me. Staff was really friendly and quick to give me my to go order. read more

This was pretty middle of the road pho-- I got the super bowl pho. There wasn't a lot of meat but the noodles were pretty good! The restaurant was tucked away and it was nice and roomy, but I didn't particularly love it or find it very standout. read more

What a letdown! I like pho and dd likes Bahn Mi, so having a place in the nabe that does both was exciting, the food was meh. The chicken pho broth had no flavor. There were very few vegetables, I didn't even see the coriander. The chix was okay. My daughter had the shrimp bahn mi. The shrimp were nicely flavored but the vegetables were cut too thick and weren't marinated, Finally the chix wings. They aren't whole wings, they are chopped pieces of wings in a heavy batter. The delivery was quick, accurate and well packed. Maybe there are other offerings that are better. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Ordered online delivery and the app automatically changed to pickup. Went to pickup and when I got home the key item was missing from the order. When I called to complain and asked if they could then deliver it, they refused. Will not be ordering from this restaurant again. Terrible service. read more

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! read more

We came here because it was freezing outside and was right across the street from the hotel we were staying at. We wanted some Pho. I ordered the vegetarian with tofu and hubby had the beef. We also had an appetizer of grilled bok choy which was in a delicious sauce. Hubby had a Saigon beer and I had a cocktail with sake, pineapple, and cranberry that was not too sweet, just right. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was very helpful, kind, and attentive. The place is small but clean. We got there early enough so it wasn't a problem but when we left all the tables were taken. I would absolutely recommend this place. The food was fresh and filling. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This review's just for takeout. Prompt delivery, delicious fried dumplings, and flavorful, fresh ingredients. But like others here, I have high expectations for Vietnamese food...you don't even have to downgrade expectations from the west coast for NYC, as Brooklyn's Hanco chain is terrific. But that's also why, in addition to being disappointed that these guys don't have even the standard classic mystery meat banh mi let alone a sardine version (trust me, both are epic), I was let down by the beef bun. No cilantro -- I had to add it at home. And this should be quality grilled beef, not just the boiled ends that are ok for pho and nothing else. Please invest a little more and I'll be loyal! read more

I stumbled upon this cute and cozy spot while searching for Vietnamese restaurants in the UWS and am glad I made the visit! I dined in on the later end of a Monday night and it wasn't too busy, so it was a great place to catch up with a friend without having to chat over any noise or next to other people. As an homage to the restaurant name, I ordered the plum wine, which was sweet and delightful. I normally would have ordered pho, but was in the mood for a rice dish instead, and was surprisingly impressed by the spicy duck curry. It was thankfully (depending on who you ask) not too spicy and the panang curry was delicious and beautifully balanced with the addition of lychee. The duck was also moist but still had crispy skin, which was my favorite part. The highlight of my experience was definitely the staff, however. They were so attentive and gracious enough to not rush us while eating (we did respectfully left at their closing time though). The level of care extended to even after the meal, when our waitress ran to catch up with us after I had accidentally left my purse behind. I am very grateful, not only to still be in possession of my wallet but also for the kindness that was extended during my entire interaction with Plum. I would highly recommend for a smooth time that leaves you satisfied and smiling. read more

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. read more

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 read more

We had several different dishes -- pho and a curry. The curry was okay, but the chicken in it was all in a large clump, as though it was cooked and being held, cold, rather than freshly cooked. The pho had the same issue. But the broth was also nearly flavorless. And the greens that usually come with pho -- peppers, basil, lime-- were almost not there. Two baby basil leaves and a lime wedge in one of those tiny plastic containers that you get when you get salsa to go at a Mexican restaurant. All this for a $20 pho. I would not go back. read more

Pleasant server Nice curry sauce, a little sweet Chicken didn't taste fresh Charged for red chili oil (was not told it costs $3 for this condiment)--just tell the customer in advance (though apparently was in the menu; but I didn't have the menu when I ordered it after meal arrive) Leftovers not packed well, spilled on way home read more

Service and pho was really good. It was happy hour so a glass of wine was about $8 or $9 dollars. I would go again

Unfortunately, the broth in the pho does not taste like it was boiled for 12 hours. I had the chicken pho with the chicken broth. The chicken breast was also very bland and dry. The ambience is lovely, clean and modern. I loved sitting there. The service was also perfect, low touch but enough to not feel left out. Portion was also just enough to fill you up for then, but doesn't take you too far as a meal. I'd probably be okay to go again to try the banh mis to see if they would help redeem the place. read more

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. read more

Quaint spot that's easy to miss but everything that's good in NY. Great pho but several other options that were all top quality including the proteins which are key to a good dish. We had the mixed steak pho but saw the chicken looked great and plan to try that as well. Service was god, is a small place so easy to call them when needed but not intrusive. Highly recommend. read more

My sister and I really enjoyed the kimchi fries from this place. I don't know what's in them but they are so addictive. We also tried the chicken banh mi sandwich. It's flavorful and good. Although we really enjoyed the duck curry as well, I don't care for the steep price of $25. That's high for the amount of duck you get. I'm not sure I would order that again just because of the price. Looking forward to trying other dishes from this place... hopefully they don't break the bank as well. read more

I ordered chicken pho. The broth was good but very few vegetables. I was expecting to be wowed because my last remembrance of eating a pho was in a Chinatown mix area. This is located in the UES. It was just okay but for a bowl of $17 soup, it's overrated. Sadly, I won't be back here. The ambiance is beautiful. Quiet and good for a date perhaps. The service was quick and the staff were very nice. read more

Plum Vietnamese Restaurant - Chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Not bad, it's certainly fancy, but I personally have had better pho for cheaper. It's very clean and comfy inside, though it's better suited for couples rather than parties. The pho itself was good and consistent with standard Vietnamese fare. To be honest, while the portions will fill most people, you don't get much for your dollar. I'd probably come back, but not when I'm famished. read more

The worse pho bowl I ever had. I know NYC is known to have bad viet food everywhere but so far this was the worse pho noodle period. I got it delivered tonight and the moment I opened the soup, it doesn't smell like pho at all. It smells like American beef broth. I got the Super Bowl pho for $19 and it came with steak chunks that was very hard to chew. What an embarrassment. The noodles were falling apart so it's like eating pieces of noodles in bland American beef broth. Also got the egg roll and it taste like those cheap lunch special frozen egg rolls. If you like true Asian food, avoid this place at all cost. read more

Plum is a hidden gem on the Upper West Side! Their pho is some of the best in the city, with a super flavorful broth that needs no corrections... but if you're feeling bold, their home made spice bomb is incredible (and truly truly spicy!). Our favorites are the Super Bowl pho, the chicken wings, spring rolls, and the lychee soda. The restaurant is chic and has wonderful and fast service, highly recommend! read more

Cute & yummy find in the UWS! Came here on a Saturday night around 8pm with a friend and we were quickly seated - the inside was pretty empty with 2 other tables of customers. There's a small dining area and a restroom. Servers were nice, service was fast. We wanted to try a little bit of a variation and got the PLUM Platters (love the curry puffs) - I HIGHLY recommend! We also shared a chicken pho, super delicious with hoisin. This portion was perfect for 2. And this place is super close to the 1 train. Excited to come back to try their other selections!! read more

Plum Vietnamese Restaurant - Plum platter and chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Plum is a cozy Vietnamese restaurant on W 94th at Broadway. Stepping through the door yesterday I was impressed by the charming, modern decorations and the clean orderliness of the layout. My date and I received a comfortable two-top next to the counter. We used our Yelp check-in offers for a free lychee soda and thai iced tea. I also ordered a happy hour cocktail upon noticing that happy hour runs every day of the week from open to 7:00 PM. That's quite a persuasive argument, and the cocktail was pleasant, a sweet wet treat. Food: outstanding. Get the curry puffs (vegetarian), baked in a flaky pastry, served hot: don't burn your tongue! So good. I considered a banh mi but went for the What's a Bun, the signature combo vermicelli bowl topped with grilled chicken, spring rolls, and a fried egg. Tons of fresh veggies, you practically get a full salad within the bowl. Filling and nutritious. We also ordered the Super Bowl pho,which has a lot of meat in it: the thick brisket was my favorite, followed by the thinly sliced round steak and the chewy pieces of grilled steak. The broth deserves recognition for its flavor and clarity. This is that classic bowl of pho to seek out when you get the craving. Overall, Plum is awesome. Service was great, prices are normal, clean bathroom, lovely interior design and decor. Next time, I'm curious to try a banh mi and the kimchi loaded fries. If you're for real about pho, this spot is worth a visit to the Upper West Side. read more

The food was delicious and the vibe was chill and relaxing. I had the spicy duck curry, which was very tasty.

We loved this little gem on the upper west side. Soft ambiance, clean and welcoming and friendly staff. Menu is varied and I'd say catered for a more western audience. We started with the steamed dumplings which were flavorful with a hint of spice. Really nice. Then came the pho chicken which was also delicious with ample noodles and veggies and nice white meat chicken without bones and skin. The size of the bowl is perfect- not overwhelming. Finish with a Vietnamese ice coffee and voila! Enjoy!! read more

Growing up in San Jose, CA I think my standards for Viet food are different lol but out of the viet places I've tried in NYC, I think Plum was solid! I got the fish cakes and vietnamese crepe which were both decent but nothing special. However, I do like how fast the service is here! Even though it was busy, we got our food in 5-10 minutes. The interior is also very modern and clean. read more

We loved it! The place was cozy and quiet. We went during weekend lunch and it was moderately full, no wait. Both got bun, 1 person got "what's a bun" and another the beef bun. Both great, but preferred the "what's a bun" for good value. Fairly healthy meal that was definitely very filling. Also got the Lychee soda as part of yelp check-in, which was good, but probably will try something different next time. Will have to try other things on the menu next time, but would recommend the Bun menu. read more
