    a nice bubble tea spot in the seaport area with an extensive food & drink menu! Love this spot as there's not too many spots like this in the area.... Came here at night almost before closing and grabbed two drinks (taro milk tea & pineapple green tea). Both were good and refreshing but they weren't made with the freshest ingredients, however the drinks were still good, not to mention the prices which were definitely fair for the sizes! I definitely wanna stop by again one day to try their food :) thought the logo and packaging was cool too

    Great little gem on pearl street. Modern Vietnamese spot. They have a variety of options. I love that they have combos. I got the wolf gang combo. It came with a bahn mi sandwich, spring rolls and a bubble tea. I ordered for pick up. The cashier was very nice when I walked in. The order was ready and I was on My way out. The store has some seating but not a lot. The sandwich was delicious but it was not traditional. The sandwich had lettuce and a lot of mayo. That is usually not the case with bahn mi sandwich. It was definitely the first time I had it that way. The chicken was nice and juicy though. With that in mind, I would definitely pass by again.

    Super cute cafe, great bubble teas! They use a real tea base of jasmine green tea or earl grey, not just the blended powder stuff you find at many bubble tea places. We got taro milk tea and rose milk black tea, adding in boba and lychee jelly, respectively, both very good. (Though the add-ins got mixed up, it was fine as we still enjoyed our drinks.) It was a refreshing pick-me-up between our walk from FiDi to the Seaport. Did not get to try the banh mi or other food (Vietnamese and fusion?) so my review does not speak to that.

    Big fan of Wolf Forest Cafe! This place is a fast, casual lunch spot, serving Vietnamese food and boba tea in Financial District. You order at the counter for takeout, but there are a few small tables and individual seats if you'd like to eat there. I've never seen the cafe too crowded so seats are generally open. I usually get the vegetarian chicken summer rolls and it's great if I'm in the mood for a lighter meal. It's also very flavorful and delicious. The staff is super friendly and the service is fast. I will continue to be a regular!

    Marinated Grilled Pork Banh Mi Sandwich
    Tiffany C.

    I ordered one ideal banh mi and one marinated pork banh mi. I wouldn't say this is a traditional banh mi-- it was kinda weird to have lettuce in my sandwich. There was also not enough depth to the sandwich. It was very flat tasting. Although I did enjoy the taste of the marinated pork. The staff was quick to serve me. The interior looks pretty cute. There's not a lot of seating area.

    Hosted a team bubble tea walk to this location and it was fantastic. The finger foods and bubble teas are excellent. I love how they use the 22oz cup - the more the merrier! The staffs were so sweet and timely with the orders! it's incredibly clean and neat in the cafe, lots of space to sit and munch in!

    Spicy pork banh mi

    My husband and I were hungry for some late dinner, and this restaurant was right next door to the courtyard marriot we were staying at. We got a banh mi, summer rolls, and a strawberry smoothie. Everything was so good, and the food was promptly ready for pick up. They do indoor dining as well. The restaurant looked nice and clean, and the staff who handed us our food seemed friendly. I'd definitely come back as we had a great experience!

    During my lunch break, I decided to navigate Pearl Street to get something to eat and came across this new spot. I learned that this new spot opened up two weeks ago. The ambiance is open and friendly with four couch seating areas and a set of high chairs lined along the window. The staff was very friendly and the service was great overall because the person who my order reviewed the order. The menu had a variety of Vietnamese salad bowls, banh mi, summer rolls, air fried snacks, and tortilla rolls, even burgers and crossaint sandwiches. They had a variety of smoothies and bubble teas served for hot and cold. I ordered the Tiger Shrimp Summer Roll, Citron Honey Hot Tea, Air fried shrimp tempura, and air fried spring rolls. Personally, the air fried shrimp tempura and air fried spring rolls were not worth ordering. However, the summer roll and hot tea were worth getting. The summer roll was packed with vermicelli noodles, lettuce, and 2 large shrimps cut in half thinly. The sauce was plain peanut butter sauce. I was already full with one summer roll. I saved the other summer roll for the next meal. I'd definitely return to explore the Smoothie, bubble teas, summer rolls, tortilla rolls, and salad bowls.

    Finally gave this place a try after walking by it several times. I ordered the hungry combo that came with a banh mi, summer roll and bubble tea for $19.99. I selected the grilled pork banh mi (medium spice), tiger shrimp summer roll, and mango green tea with lychee jelly. The staff were very friendly and the order came out quickly. I really enjoyed both dishes, especially the banh mi. The bubble tea was refreshing and thought the combo was a great deal. There's 3 tables that seats 2 people and a long booth near the window. I'll def stop by again to try the other dishes along with their iced coffee.

    Vegetarian chicken summer roll with peanut sauce
    Melissa R.

    I stopped by around 4PM as I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat, and had seen they had multiple vegetarian options. I can only speak to the crispy vegetarian chicken summer roll, as that was the only thing I ordered. It took about 10 minutes to come out. There was nothing special about it, but the taste was OK and it was definitely a large portion. The only ingredients are rice noodles, cucumber, the vegetarian chicken and a piece of iceberg lettuce. The peanut sauce was very tasty, although would have been better at room temperature. The vegetarian chicken was decent for soy-based meat. I ate half there and half at home, which did fill me up. The rice paper was rather sticky which made eating it without utensils difficult. I would stop back by and try a bubble tea, but probably would go elsewhere for a summer roll. I prefer more ingredients in my summer roll to give it more depth. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Side Salad & Nuoc Cham: (Romaine, Cucumber, Pickled Mustard, Grape Tomatoes, Carrots & Daikon). I appreciate the choice of Vermicelli rice noodle, Thai Jasmine rice or Solely Salad. I always choose rice and the packaging is amazing, the beef is kept seperate from the rice and arrives hot and aromatic. My mom also loves this dish but ordered it with the solely salad and opts for double veggies. We have also tried several of the bahn mini including the lemongrass chicken, the brisket and the braised short rib. All are tasty. I do recommend adding the dip for $1 as it really takes it to the next level! I ordered the lychee iced tea sweetened today. It was sweet but not too sweet which I appreciated and as with everything from 5ive spice very thoughtfully packaged in a way that there is no leaking in transit. 5ive spice has some great all day and happy hour specials, I look forward to trying their food in person when I am in the area. Customer service: One time, on a particularly busy weekend in NYC, I received the wrong bahn mi sandwich. I ordered the brisket bahn mi and received the lemongrass chicken. When I called 5ive Spice, I spoke to the manager John who was incredibly apologetic and explained it was a very busy night, without offering excuses. He offered a full refund and invited me to order again and call and he would include a complimentary bahn mi. For what it's worth, it was a very busy night in NYC, all of the restaurants we were trying to get take out or delivery from were quoting 2+ hours, and John handled the situation perfectly. The food we received was tasty and did arrive on time.

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.

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.
