Came here on a for an early dinner tonight and was extremely happy with everything. The place was pretty and decorated. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly. I ordered the wonder pho and it was awesome, great taste of the broth and freshness of the vegetables. Shrimp summer roll was great as well. Overall would definitely come back here. Some of the greats in UES pho. read more

I vacillate between three and four stars. Wonder Pho is okay. Not great -- it lacks authenticity -- but okay. A former colleague joined me for lunch. She ordered com (rice) with a grilled pork chop, once they assured her it's prepared with lemongrass. I went with bun (vermicelli) with grilled lemongrass chicken and spring rolls. The food was under-seasoned, my chicken not as flavorful as when I had it with pho. It was also over-cooked. My friend thought the same. The staff is very nice. With the restaurant quiet at an off hour, we were welcome to sit and chat undisturbed. While I wouldn't go running to Wonder Pho, I suspect I'll be back when "okay" is good enough. And sometimes it is! read more

Ambiance (5/5): It's a nicely open, clean space. This used to be 'Pho Shop' which was shut down. The set up and furniture didn't feel like it changed. Service (5/5): I went on a Sunday around 8:30pm and was surprised that there were 4 other dining parties. 2 servers for the late shift and felt like I was serviced very quickly and was in and out within 15 min. Pho (2/5): The standard beef pho broth tasted super bland and watery. The beef slices were dry and tough, of low quality. Portions were large. Overall, sadly would not recommend the pho. Maybe the other options on the menu are the way to go. The high reviews I suspect are due to the incentive of leaving a high review for a FREE coconut dessert. read more

(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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wonder Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

First time trying Wonderpho after it rebranded. My friend and I actually got a pick up order instead of dinning in. Two of us got the pho tai and one of us got the pho cari with chicken. We ordered on DoorDash and were able to pick it up in around 10-15min. The food was packed very well with the noodle, toppings, and broth separated. The broth very flavorful and there was a lot of noodle but there was barely any beef and hence the 4 star. Given that the pho was $16, I would expect more meat with the pho. Overall, I think it was pretty good flavor wise. Just wish they would give more protein! read more

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. read more

Wonder Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Placed a takeout order here and when I walked in more than five minutes after the app I used told me the order was ready for pickup, it wasn't. When someone emerged from the kitchen with a bag, I asked about my order and gave my name. He looks at the receipt stapled to the bag and barks at me, "Not ready." I'm confused, so as he helps someone else I walk over to have a look for myself, thinking perhaps that is my order and he misheard my name (which is uncommon and regularly misheard). It's not my order, so I ask why the app says it's ready when clearly it isn't. "I told you it's not ready," he barks at me. When my order does emerge and I pick up my bag, I turn around and let him know, "the way you spoke to me was very rude." To which he responds, "I told you it wasn't ready! You don't trust me." I debate this with him for a minute, but it's clear that he's having a bad day and isn't receptive to the idea that he was being an a**. To be clear, the food was great. But the attitude isn't something I've ever experienced in 30 years of living in this city. Feel free to make up your own mind, but I won't be coming back. read more

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! read more

Wonder Pho - L13E. Pho Cari Seafood - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Met friends at this hole in the wall Vietnamese place. The staff were very nice. They have a rotating $5 beer each night. There are deals on 2 course dinners for 1, 2 and 4. We started off with papaya and mango salad, which was good. The Vietnamese chicken wings were simply fried and the dipping sauce was aioli adjacent. I splashed them with Sriracha sauce. Our friends liked their entrees more than my wife and I did. They had the pork chops (big portion) and the salt and pepper fried seafood combo. My wife had the fried sole, which she characterized as "bready and gloppy." I had the Wonder Pho, which I found to be underwhelming. Our friends really like this place and go often. We will be sticking with LyLy. read more

We ordered take out: the Wonder Pho, chicken with ginger and scallions, the summer roll, and skewered beef - latter two are appetizers. The Pho was way too salty, and the "fixings" a bit sparse. The chicken dish was full of onions and there were not many scallions. The beef skewers were very nice, as were the summer rolls. The staff were nice. Overall, they can do better. read more

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. read more

Huge amount of food for a great value. The service was expedient and kind, and the quiet, chill vibe was amazing. Great day-date spot. We both had Pho, and I neither of us could finish our dish. Had to take it home. Coconut Jelly was light and wonderful. Would definitely recommend. They have cheap specials for every day of the weeks and I had a couple Singha for $5 each on a Monday-- excellent. read more

Sadly, in decline. Used to be very good. Missing ingredients in staples of their menu. Mushy rice. Hope it can be fixed.

Wonder Pho - C. Pork Belly Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - New York, New York

Similar to its name, WONDER pho, I started wondering what kind of ingredients were in the "Bún Bò Huế" they delivered. It looked like Sichuan noodles and tasted like the ketchup Pad Thai I had at "Royal Thai," a tourist restaurant in Big Bear Lake -- complete with meatballs. It was nothing like the advertised pictures. I rarely leave reviews online, but this place deserves to sell something else -- definitely not Vietnamese food. Thanks for the terrible dinner. read more

Not just good, EXCEPTIONAL. A hidden gem, may be the best Vietnamese food in NYC, not just the upper east side. The shrimp rolls to start, Bon Bo Hue as main (AMAZING) or the lemongrass stir fry. Diet Coke on the side, it's in glass bottles, perfectly chilled. The staff are kind, attentive and professionals - the chef clearly cooking with immense care. GO TODAY. read more

The service is fantastic and attentive. The place is clean, bright and welcoming. The water is infused with mint or citrus or both, very refreshing. I had the WonderPHO. The broth was just okay, mild in flavor. If you're craving for pho, it will definitely hit the spot. Since I'm in the neighborhood, I will definitely come back. But honestly, I've had better. Update, my partner and I came back and he had the laska and it was delicious. I still feel the same about the beef pho broth. This place is definitely worth a try, especially if you live in the neighborhood. read more

After a long day at work, I came to this place just for relaxation. What better way to relax than with a bowl of pho? This place has a very warm atmosphere and the tables are very comfortable. As for my meal, I went for Bun Bo Hue and Grilled Steak Green Salad. My food was very tasty and refreshing. It's a pity that we can give only five stars because they are really worth at least ten. read more
