Ambiance: (5/5) They had a few seats inside and a few seats outside. Price: (5/5) I got a tofu bhan mi for $9 which is great for NYC. Food: (5/5) I loved the mango in the bhan mi. The tofu and vegetables had a vinegar flavor that I liked, but if you don't like that you might want to try a different dish. Service: (5/5) Food came out quick and the staff was nice. read more

So Pho 88 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Quick service! We came and sat outside on a Monday night. The spring rolls were great - delicious. My friends loved the Banh Mi sandwich and bowl, and said the pork belly was flavorful. The satay was OK but not the best I've ever had. Very generous portions. Overall, quick food in a cute spot in Brooklyn! read more

The portions are huge and I appreciate the convenience of this place in my neighborhood. Sometimes you just want a bowl of pho without having to trek far. The meatballs were really good and the noodles are cooked perfectly. I wished the broth had a stronger pho spice flavor, I wasn't getting much star anise or cinnamon that is typically found in pho. read more

So Pho 88 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here based on some of the reviews, and since I was in the area. This place doesn't have a restroom. Quick place to dine in or take out food. I decided to order the viet sandwich (bahn mi) and the beef pho. Both were good, but nothing amazing. I wonder how it will taste if they were eaten at the place. I'm not sure I would like to go back as there are so many other places to try in Williamsburg. read more

Decent place for Pho on Bedford Av. Prices beat Mama Pho and are well under your typical Williamsburg pricing. The flavor is not bad either, especially if you don't want to make the hike to Chinatown. There's not alot of seating inside so just be aware that this is better suited for rainy days or take out. The service was really nice, the lady in the front provided us water, utensils and other things without us asking. read more

Ordered Delivery So Pho 88 from a meal delivery perspective has been a "Pho"-bulous (fabulous) delight. Focusing on Vietnamese cuisine, So Pho 88 executes well on their Banh Mis and Phos with good quality and consistency, a big recommendation for those ordering via delivery apps. Taste: 5/5 Service: N/A Value for money: 5/5 Ambience: N/A The goto item here is their beef pho for $13.95, the Thai iced tea is $3.50 which is a steal for restaurant pricing especially on delivery apps. Food is on point and the only hiccup is that if the delivery takes too long, might need to heat up the soup more for the meat to fully cook through. read more

So Pho 88 - Raw Beef Pho Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I got delivery, and the food came nicely packaged and fresh. I really liked the Vietnamese spring rolls, they were perfectly crunchy and came with a delicious dipping sauce. They had great texture and was definitely the star of the meal. I also got their raw beef pho. The meat was good and tasted great with the hoisin sauce. The broth flavor was a little lacking tho, but it did its job. Would come back for the spring rolls for sure! read more

Found this small hidden gem among a street of many places to eat and I'm so glad I chose it! I ordered a grilled chicken pho which was very flavorful, a huge portion & a great price of ~$13! There was limited seating but I enjoyed my soup there. The employee that I interacted with was nice. I truly loved this meal and would definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

The Vietnamese food options in Williamsburg have been so bad and I feel like I keep getting disappointed no matter how authentic a place might appear. The spring rolls here had a crappy veggie filling reminiscent of what you get in fake Chinese egg rolls. The bbq meat was spongy and not pleasant at all and the pho just wasn't all that impressive. read more

Cozy place family business they're super friendly & laid back. I've read some negative views, I think there's 2 women by the cashier. I've never met another one. When I go there she's always sweet and calm I feel very comfortable eat in! Food (pho) comes out Quit Quickly (less than 10min) and large bowl, very clean dishes +++ it's very tasty! I wouldn't think of trying another place at all. I'm so happy going there all the time. They let bathroom next door. read more

So Pho 88 - April '23 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Most disappointing pho unfortunately. Got the grilled chicken pho and the chicken was very dry. The soup tasted very watery and not flavorful. I was hoping for a great meal after a night of drinking, so I was desperate for pho. This was not a great hangover cure. Also, the spring rolls aren't the usual Viet ones. More like fried egg rolls. read more

Disclaimer: Ordered on Uber eats. The food arrived surprisingly quickly. The broth spilled a bit from it's containers before it arrived, but it stayed super hot as well surprisingly. Pouring it on the beef cooked it almost instantaneously. Overall the food was decent. Great prices and good portions of meat and noodles in the pho, but the broth just didn't quite hit the spot like some other restaurants I've ordered it at. read more

So Pho 88 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered delivery from here tonight and found it to be pretty good! The spring rolls very delicious, but a bit greasy. I really liked their steamed rice siomai too! The beef pho on the other hand was kind of disappointing. The broth didn't have much flavor, but all & all, it fulfilled my pho craving and it's still a good value for $13. read more

My friends and I needed a place for quick food for a large group on a cold night. So Pho 88 delivered on hitting the spot when it came to making sure everyone got their food quickly. The value they bring to the table is also very stellar. First and foremost, they encourage you to order online to get 10% off. They have a qr code system, but it did not seem to work for anyone. This link should work to get 10% off: https://order.mealkeyway.com/merchant/435a4c566236584557684976514b496832657a6632413d3d/main?fbclid=IwAR2PcsTa9KO3xPECFwpkOEs62KvnlrCD_SMZFmiSRmmL73RyPzvVTIHwuIs I ordered the Beef pho, the steam pork buns, and the pork pan fried dumplings. The Beef Pho: The portion size was very large and was a great value. Most places do not provide a large amount of beef, while they put a decent portion. When ordering for pickup, it comes deconstructed so the noodles do not get too soft. They were even generous enough to provide sauces, mint, and bean sprouts without me requesting it. I highly reccomend mixing and adding these components to your meal to enhance and change the flavor as you eat it. The broth on its own had an umami flavor with hints of cinnamon, pepper, and other spices--bound to take your taste buds on a trip. Steam Pork Buns: It took 15 minutes to make, but you can tell they were dedicated to putting in lots of tender love and care. This is the one thing I reccomend to order this with any and every meal from this place. It is a savory and delicate thin bun, packed with pork broth and meat. Pork pan fried dumpling: Unfortunately, this is the one thing I cannot reccomend. This felt very tough to bite and chew, had minimal flavor, and was very doughy. The image I posted shows just how doughy it is. Overall: The meal was very generous in portion sizes. I definitely could have shared what I ordered with another person (especially the pho it was huge). The meal hit the spot in terms of taste, flavor, texture, and variety. If you are in the mood for Pho and pork buns, give this place a shot if you're nearby. read more

My friend and I ordered dinner from here via seamless, it took a bit of time more than we expected (maybe because rain?) but it was super good. We got the viet spring rolls and then beef/string beans for her and chicken curry for me. A lot of places I order curry from skimp on the chicken, or don't have a variety of veggies. So I was surprised to see green beans, diff colored peppers, eggplant and onions in my curry alongside tons of chicken :) Appreciate that they poke holes in their fried items so they travel well while being delivered!! would order again read more

SO GOOD!!!!!!! The food was fresh and tasty!! The workers are always really nice there. I have always stayed ordering take out but every thing I'm happy read more

Their pho is delicious. They don't have the typical brisket, tripe kind of pho, unlike other Vietnamese restaurants I'm used to. Instead they offer grilled chicken, grilled pork, beef, and shrimp. It's pricy ($10-12) but for the portion, it's justified. Pho comes separately from the meat. Their Vietnamese spring roll is good for ($8) but not the best I've had. Everything is served in plastic btw. Also, don't expect to be served with water with your food. You have to ask for it. There is also no bathroom inside the restaurant. If you ask, they will let you use the restroom next door, since both restaurants share the same owner. Overall, the food is excellent. It's also cozy. More importantly, you get 10% automatically if you dine in or pick up. read more

So Pho 88 - Pho with grilled pork chop + viet spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Quick service. Ordered a beef pho and shrimp salad and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. Enjoyed the beef pho-- there was ample beef and a ton of noodles, good value! Not the best beef I've ever had and the broth wasn't amazing either, but still pretty good and convenient on a walk to domino park. Also ordered a shrimp salad. It was fresh and tasty, the shrimp was delicious. Again, plenty of food and very filling for a meal and leftovers but nothing spectacular or memorable. read more

So Pho 88 - Beef Pho (Rice Noodle Soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food's pretty good especially the vermicelli. Pho is good but there's been better. Cute and quiet little place.

The best place to be on a rainy day. Delicious simple pho, amazing thai tea and their iced coffee is really good too!

Wow I really love this place for take out! Ordered on ubereats and it took longer than expected (over 1 hour) but it was worth the wait!! Got two beef pho (such reasonable pricing for nyc-$13/bowl) and the egg rolls were divine!!! Will order from here again! Yum! read more

Ordered 6 steam pork buns and 1 General Tso's lunch special. It was all excellent. The pork buns were super tasty. The broth inside was super flavorful. Great sauce on the General Tso. Neat and concise packaging for delivery. Wish I could give it another half star. 4.5 or 4.6. read more

I don't write reviews often, it must be a terrible or incredible experience to convert my lazy a**. This place falls in that incredible category. I'm surprised some reviewers gave this place 4 stars. I ordered the shrimp pho and curry soup, WOW. This is hands down the best broth I've had in Brooklyn. ALSO, it arrived to my apt in less than 15 mins! I was shocked. Absolutely love this place! read more

Aside from the budget friendly lunch deals, this is just really generic Vietnamese food. I agree with all the not so favorable reviews below. Bland. Bland. Bland. Ingredients that you know are purchased on the cheap. read more

Really good food. Reasonable price. Got take out. Enjoyed the pho and the chicken satay. Would recommend

Probably the most authentic Vietnamese place in Williamsburg right now. We got the grilled chicken bun, the beef cubes, spring rolls, and the Vietnamese hot and sour soup with fish/shrimp. Ordered delivery from seamless. Generally- everything was pretty good. The soup was ok. Needed more tamarind and fish sauce. I also despise cooked salmon. Traditionally, it's supposed to be made with catfish. Good crispiness with the spring rolls. It came with assorted pickled veggies. Would be better if they included aromatics. Typically, you wrap spring rolls in romaine and mint or Thai basil. The grilled chicken and the bun was delicious. They gave you enough fish sauce vinaigrette which is awesome. The steak cubes were delectable. Excited to try the pho although I wish they have the one that comes with all the exotic meats. Review seems harsh but that's just because I'm Asian and grew up with Vietnamese food. Trust me that you can't get better Vietnamese delivered in North Brooklyn though... read more

DELICIOUS!!! We got the beef pho, veggie spring rolls and chicken satay and it was all delicious. The beef in the pho was sliced very thinly and delivered raw (as it's supposed to be), so I heated the broth through on the stove and poured it over everything and the beef cooked perfectly. It also came with all the fixins...I'm delighted to have a new pho place in the neighborhood! read more

Delicious food. The best pho in Brooklyn. And the grill pork chops is so good. Recommend place read more

Perfect. Nothing pretentious and almost awkward since it's on the middle of all those fancy places. Perfect flavor, great pho. Thank you read more

Absolutely best pho in NYC hands down (I am a born and raised NY'r and tried a lot of NYC pho) I order their grilled chicken pho weekly. Actually about to order some right now which is why I'm writing this review. Thank you for your hard work and beautiful, delicately crafted delicious pho. read more

I can only speak to the quality of the pork pho (which I've ordered 10-15 times, so I have plenty of data). Large, flavorful pieces of meat and very tasty broth. Great takeout staple. read more

By far the rudest staff I've ever encountered at a pho restaurant. My GF and I ordered pho at 9:45 to eat in the restaurant. The woman at the counter bagged it up to go and handed us our food at 10 pm. I stated that I wanted to eat it there and she said, "sorry we close at 10:30." Anyone who's eaten pho knows it doesn't take 30+ minutes to eat the pho. If she would've told us that it had to be to go, I would've went and sat down somewhere else. read more

First time ordering from here although I live very close by. I've walked by the restaurant before on my way down Bedford but it didn't really stand out visually in my mind. Well I'm glad I finally ordered takeout because it was soooooo good. We ordered the chicken satay, shrimp summer rolls and beef and broccoli. The portions were very, very generous and well balanced between veggies and proteins. The chicken satay was perfect and came with two dipping sauces and delicious pickled vegetables. The summer rolls were basically like little vermicelli burritos, I was really impressed. The beef and broccoli was tender and saucy. I will he ordering from here again soon - next on the hit list will be the soup dumplings and pho! Can't wait to be back. read more

Amazing sandwich and pho! The bread was perfectly crunchy but still soft and chewy. I definitely will be ordering from this place again.

Love this place it's my #1 pho spot In Williamsburg. The pork chop addition replacing the beef worth its weight on its own. Everything is fantastic and always fast delivery. This place Rocks!!! read more

In SoCal's Little Saigon you'll find "pho so this" and "pho so that" and it is always followed by digits. That's bc "so" translates to "number"...soooooo it's always 1 for obvious reasons or 79, 82, 88...etc., because these were significant years for Vietnamese people seeking asylum in America. These were the OG pho joints before the days of top chef, instagram, and fusion this and that ruined everything. Pho from one of these places used to cost $5 for a huge bowl filled to the brim in the 90s and has only gone up a few dollars staying under $9-10 today (by the way, if you think this is cheap, banh mi is 3.50 and if you buy two, you get one free--yes folks....bread and cold cuts aren't supposed to be $14s for a single sandwich--and these are the current prices! They used to be a dollar less expensive! Anyway, I digress). 'So Pho 88' is likely not Vietnamese owned but it DOES NOT MATTER. The 'so pho' might be out of order or an attempt at being punny but that does not matter either. In the same vein of old-school OG Pho So yada yada places, So Pho 88 makes no frills, simple, delicious and affordable pho. I mean having a take out pho place this simple and good in this neighborhood is already a blessing but thank goodness for reasonable prices. Also in the same vein as OG pho places in SoCal, dude...get the pho. I read seamless reviews about how this person thinks this was bad and that was bland and the other is too fishy/salty. Yeah people--places with pho in their name--specialize in duh...anyway. Good pho, good, clear broth, fresh ingredients! Also--their pho noodle is PERFECT! Chewy, whole, not brittle like some fancy ass places who do all sorts of crazy crap to their broth and add huge pieces of bone marrow but get the damn noodles wrong with brittle, broken noodles or simply noodles that are way over cooked. I also like how they leave the cilantro whole....that's nice for people who need to pull it out. I like to chop it up all fine and put It back anyway so I just do that when it gets here. One thing I wish so pho 88 would do is have more variety with their beef cuts. Guys--look up pho dac biet or pho xe lua and you'll find so many different cuts of beef ranging from what you already serve to flank, brisket, tripe, tendon, and beef meatballs. At least maybe do us a favor and have a beef and beef meatballs option for now but please please please consider flank, tripe and tendon. Yum yum yum. Sorry to those who hate long reviews. I'm getting warmed up to write a very important speech. Thanks for reading if you got this far! read more

Taste awful The pad thai was super dry and flavorless The summer roll was nothing right read more

Love their veggie pho SO MUCH! They put so many delicious veggies in it like lotus root and it's just great esp on a chilly day! Make sure to add the hoisin sauce to the broth...its sooo good! Also their ginger tea is so addicting WOW it's both spicy and sweet & absolutely revitalizing - wish I could drink it every morning tbh! read more

Really one of the worst Thai food I've ever tried. I ordered the basil shrimp. The shrimp was so over cooked it was inedible. But that's not the worst part. The sauce was so bland, it was like tasting nothing. Don't know if the chef was different or had an off day. But for $18, this was such a waste of money. Won't be returning. read more

Closed due to COVID19. No clue if they're going to open back up after NYC reopens but I hope they do because I love their pho and beef and broccoli. read more
