    Lychee black tea with boba and no ice
    Judy F.

    1st time customer... I was wondering by my work, looking for lunch. I was craving banh mi sandwiches and saw this place had combos included by me, spring roll and a beverage for about $20. Of course that sounds like a good deal and it was. I ordered the crispy fish sandwich, lychee black tea with boba and vegan BBQ spring roll. I sat they're waiting for my order aunt to eat my lunch. I can see it's a small staff and they prepare an order at a time. I enjoyed the crispy fish sandwich cuz the tartness of the pickled daikon & carrots and the bit of cilantro balanced each bite. The vegan BBQ meat in the spring roll was delicious, wish there was more of it. The wrap and the noodles... think needed more soaking time or cooking time. The lychee black tea with boba was sweet. I was able to customize 'no ice'. I would order this drink again if they can make it less sweet. It's a beautiful, modern space with high ceilings.

    This place was such a hidden gem on Pearl St! I stayed in a hotel nearby and one late night we were craving some munchies and came in for some treats. I got the caramel macchiato, My sister got the Boba tea and my nephew got a Strawberry milk shake. Then we also got the tiramisu, some sweet potato fries and some chicken nuggets. Everything was absolutely amazing and I regret not going more than once. The cashier was so friendly and helpful.

    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
    Diana Q.

    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!

    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.

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.

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.

It was about 92°F outside and there was no AC. They did have a couple of fans running to help with the heat, but unfortunately, they weren't enough. The restaurant has an open-kitchen concept, which is nice because you can see the kitchen, but you can also feel the heat coming from it. With the front door left open, the summer heat was coming in as well, making it extremely hot inside. There were also quite a few flies circling around, which I'm assuming was partly due to the door being left open. That made the dining experience less comfortable, especially while eating. I would've given 5 stars for the food because it was delicious, but the heat, flies, and overall dining environment really took away from the experience. I'd definitely come back for the food, but I hope they find a better solution for keeping the restaurant cool and comfortable during the summer months.
