    (This is a 4.5 star review) I dropped by WonderPho during a work from home say for a quick and chill Thai meal. I love Thai food and am always excited to try new places out. I happen to pass by this place often when I'm watching my coworkers cats nearby, and figured it was a super convenient time to finally try it out. I was very pleased! It was pretty empty when I arrived a bit early for lunch, around 11:45, which was really nice, but this place got pretty busy with takeout orders throughout my stay which was a bit overwhelming. I love the vibes here. It's trendy. There are neon signs. The waiter/guy behind the desk was taking on a lot of work himself, but he was super nice and made it a point to work as quickly as possible. I ended up getting the grilled chicken pho ($15) which was delectable. The chicken was noteworthy. It was cooked and spiced really well. You get all the fix-ins for the pho, which in my opinion, tasted better when I added some of the basil and lime. They also give you a free gelatin dessert. To be honest, no idea what it is, but I really liked it. It was cool, sweet, and refreshing on a super hot day. One negative though, I did notice a bit of a tin taste in the water. Not sure why that was, but it wasn't enough to turn me off from the place. I still recommend it!

    The beef in the famous beef pho was way too grisly and fatty, also a little tough. Granted I tried something new so that was my mistake but the service was way lacking. Again it might be my fault for coming so close to 3pm, but honestly I had to ask for water refill, and they only came once in my 45 min late lunch. The shrimp summer rolls were just alright, the peanut sauce was lacking in some taste. I got the mango condensed milk shave ice to go and they didn't put a spoon or anything to eat this with. So it'll be fun trying to find something at my hotel room which doesn't come stocked with any kitchen items. Only redeeming quality from here was their offer of free coconut cake. That was good.

    shrimp curry noodles

    I was craving hot soupy noodles and stopped by Wonder Pho for a late dinner. Staff members were attentive but their noodles were just fine. Started off with the grilled lemongrass chicken. The lemongrass came through but wish the chicken was more tender. I got the curry noodles were pretty decent. The shrimp curry soup was a tad too sweet for me but I appreciated how the curry flavors were present and strong, despite being in soup form (vs sauce/paste form). The pho noodles were al dente and shrimp pieces were pretty fresh. The pho, on the other hand, was a little disappointing. The pho broth was mostly salt/MSG and lacked true beef flavors. The beef and tripe pieces were fine, not of the best quality but ok for a quick meal. I also wish they gave us more herbs. I liked the viet pop music that they were playing. Would come back if I was feeling curious about their other non-noodle menu items!

    Crispy veggie spring rolls

    We did take out from here and had such a great experience. It's a local stop that's been open for less than a year and I highly recommend you check it out if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food. Also, they have good veggie options which can be hard to find for Vietnamese food in NYC. Note: when we went to pick up the other, we saw that the dine in seating was really nice and the restaurant has a casual but comfortable vibe Food: the veggie banh mi was pretty good. Felt close to California Little Vietnam food. It was perfectly spiced based on our preferences and the tofu was nicely marinated. The bread was crispy and hard as it should be as in a banh mi sandwich. I also really enjoyed the veggie crispy rolls. It came with the fresh lettuce that you're supposed to wrap around them when eating authentic Vietnamese food. And sauce it came with was just a soy sauce. The spring rolls were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Price: food was very reasonably priced. We got 2 veggie banh mi sandwiches and 1 veggie crispy spring roll and our total was less than $40.

    Delicious pho and great service! The curry noodle with chicken was full of flavor. The restaurant itself is cute and they have a deal on two dishes, appetizers and drinks.

    I've been living on the upper Eastside for 35 years and never knew about this wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. It was fabulous. The environment was beautiful and very relaxing and Ajimi and the staff was so over the top and wonderful to us and we had such a nice time and the food was beyond delicious.

    This place is decent enough but there are some better places in the neighborhood. The service was FAST and the servers were very helpful with recommendations.

    Pork chop combo
    Sharon J.

    I was so happy with the grilled pork chop combo. It came with two freshly fried spring rolls cut in half and some sweet dipping sauce. They were piping hot and the meat filling was so juicy! The pork chops were moist and marinated very well, cut into thin strips. Because of this it was easy to get a bite combining the fresh veggies, pickled daikon, and the meat. The service was very prompt and attentive, I was seated immediately on a Tuesday around dinner time and got my plate just as quick. Overall this is a really nice casual sit down spot (also works to take the food to go) for a weekday dinner.

    VERY GOOD! Just stopped in while visiting NYC. Seafood curry bowl is amazing- highly recommend.

    The best I've had here in New York! I'm from California, and this is my second time coming out here just to eat. I'll definitely keep coming back -- highly recommend this place!

    Summer roll (vegan)
    Lauren C.

    Delicious Vietnamese food with tons of vegan options! We had to consult with our server to make sure we didn't get anything that had fish sauce, but he was extremely helpful and guided us through an awesome order. When we asked what the vegan protein options were, they were pushing the fried tofu but also offered "white tofu" (presumably steamed) as well as another option not listed on the menu similar to mock duck. It was packed with flavor and savoriness. Super chewy and juicy. We got it on our summer rolls, papaya salad, banh mi, and pho and could not get enough. Everything was fresh and lived up to our expectations and service was excellent.

    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.

The viet bao stood out--really flavorful and probably the best thing we had. The pho was okay, but coming from LA, it's hard not to compare, and Little Saigon still does it better. My daughter got the famous wings and those were solid. The kids especially liked the prawn chips that came with them--ended up finishing those pretty quickly. Good spot to recharge after a long day out, especially if you're with family and want something satisfying without overthinking it.

Beef melts on your tongue and the marinade is slightly sweet and smoky. - Summer rolls: small portions but the flavor is there. Super refreshing and special bc they pickle the vegetables inside. - Crispy pork belly: reminds me of the crispy pork I had in Vietnam. Really well done, pairs well with the lettuce and herbs. That green sauce is so addicting. - Papaya salad: super refreshing, nice fish sauce. - Crab fried rice: reminds me of the din tai fung fried rice bc of how clean the flavor is.

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.

It isn't massive but you can finish it and not want to fall asleep at your desk afterwards which is ideal (for me). I walked in maybe 10 mins after I ordered and was greeted with smiles. My sandwich was ready for me too which was great, in and out, easy. The sandwich itself is delicious! It comes with a small ramekin of very spicy rooster sauce. I would definitely order for pickup from here again for the days I want to grab a quick lunch and get right back to work!
