We went there around noon on the weekday. Ordered a Bun Rieu and Hu tieu nam vang dry noodle. Can’t imagine how tasty it is, portions are big too. The Bun Rieu and Hu tieu is over our expectations and even more delicious than what we ate in Vietnam. As a Vietnamese i can tell. We absolutely will come back to try other dishes. This restaurant is my first choice option since now.

This is a great place to grab some yummy pho and chat with friends. The soup was really flavorful and it permeated the noodles to the point the noodles tasted like the soup. I really enjoyed the beef brisket and the spring rolls were a tasty appetizer.

I don’t think I’ve had Vietnamese food beyond pho, so I love it when a restaurant expands my horizon and this one surely does. The Vietnamese condense milk yogurt is so delicious that I devour two back to back. The rice noodles with roasted beef and Vietnamese spring rolls are out of this world! The spring rolls add a nice crunchiness to the silky smooth noodles soaked in nicely seasoned sesame oil. The beef gives a nice charred flavor to the slightly sweet noodles. It’s so so delicious. And the moody atmosphere certainly makes you yearn for more. I devour my whole meal in 15 minutes, not because I am hungry, but because it’s THAT good! 😊

Wow, this pho spot is amazing! The prices were super affordable—everything on the menu was reasonably priced. We were honestly shocked that a full meal for four people, including drinks and appetizers, came out to under $100. There was no wait, and we were seated right away. The food was authentic and full of flavor. Overall, a fantastic experience—I’ll definitely be back!

It has a great variety of Vietnamese food and delicacies. We ordered the crab meat noodles, which were soft tapioca noodles in a rich starchy broth, and the vegetable curry vermicelli. The latter was a pleasant surprise where the vegetable ingredients were separately seared before being added to the broth, which made it less of an afterthought as is typical for vegetarian dishes and more of a dish in its own right. I would come back to try other items.

the variety at this vietnamese restaurant is unmatched, it has a lot of the authentic dishes you would only find in saigon, including bun bo hue, banh knot, bun thit nuong cha gio, ca phe sua da. a lot of the patrons were also vietnamese and also the staff was very kind and attentive. great vibe overall and the portion size were as huge but we can notch the quality up. just a tiny bit

One of the few Vietnamese restaurants I have been to so far and great for its price. I went twice, as a duo and then a trio. Never too busy and an amazing atmosphere. I would recommend the Pho Bo CO UT and the Ga Nuong Sa if you are not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. The service was wonderful and added to the overall cozy atmosphere. Overall a hidden casual spot to go with friends and casually dine. A perfect place for not breaking the bank too. I look forward to being back here more often.

Yvonne meets Food

This place is probably the most authentic and delicious Vietnamese restaurant in all of Manhattan Chinatown. Everything we got was super fresh. The fried items (banh xeo and cha gio spring rolls) were freshly fried to order and insanely flavorful. Cha gio were stuffed to the brim, wrapped in rice paper (the best!), and so flavorful. The filling was one of the best I’ve had in NYC. Though I did think it was odd the banh xeo was stuffed with more white sliced onions than bean sprouts, but it was still so crispy and so delicious. The bun cha Hanoi was the best we’ve had in NYC - flavorful, charred well, and huge portion. We also got the thit kho and egg pork stew with rice (lunch special), which came with a delicious soup and rice. Thit kho was like homemade - delicious deep pork flavor with coconut water, and very tender meat. Avocado shake and Viet iced coffee were delicious and satisfying. Prices are moderate - you get what you pay for. This quality and portion of food is more than worth the price. Ambience of the place is nice and relaxing with images of Vietnam on the walls. Service gets you what you need, but to be honest, they aren’t the most friendly. But since the food is this good, who cares as long as they aren’t rude?

The bun bo hue is pretty good, but it could be a bit punchier/spicier. I would say the broth is slightly anemic compared to other restaurants I've been to. They didn't include any cabbage or herbs to add, which was a downer since BBH is really great when you can eat the fresh greens with the fragrant broth. Also, they charge extra for cha lua which seems silly to me since that's not a premium ingredient. The com tam was good with a flavorful nuoc mam and well cooked broken rice. They have a lot of dishes that a lot of Vietnamese restaurants don't have around here, which is nice. The lunch specials also are a great deal.

Long and his crew make pho very lovingly, the bo vien are well seasoned and springy and the tai just chewy enough and generously portioned. There isn’t enough rau thom and when asked for they only brought a small cup, and I think the bowl could do with more noodles. The noodles were also undercooked. Overall, a good bowl of pho that could be great with some changes. Special thanks to Mandy and Nhien for the service!

Tried the Bún Bò Huế here, and it was okay overall. The presentation was nice and the portion generous, but the flavor leaned on the mild side for a dish that’s usually known for its bold, spicy broth. The lemongrass and chili aroma were there, just not as deep or complex as expected. The beef slices and shank were tender, and the noodles had a good chew, which helped balance things out.

Vietnamese restaurant on Christie St. Its has a slightly different and more unique menu than your usual standard Vietnamese restaurants. It has a bit of a flair of a fusion restaurant. The place has a poppy vibe, the taste of the food while not bad, didn't really stand out to me. All in all, if you're in the mood for Vietnamese, it is ok. 8/7/2025, recently visited and the review is pretty spot on, decent Vietnamese cuisine, nothing fantastic, but solid.

Standard Viet food here, like all the other Viet restaurants in Chinatown. This spot is rightfully busy throughout the day, but no problem in getting a table still, and is located ~2 blocks from their sister spot - Banh Mi Co Ut! What we got: - Banh Khot: YUMM - small, Viet shrimp pancakes with a hint of coconut milk flavor. Basically the yummy bite size version of a Banh Xeo! - Pho Bo Co Ut: Standard bowl of pho - Com Tam Suon Bi Cha: Love a good Pork Chop Rice dish! It comes with a meat patty, which is best paired with their fish sauce, yum! - Banh Uot Cuon Thit Nuong: First time having Wrapped Grilled Pork Chops Rolls + it was pretty good! The sauce paired with it is basically sweet sauce. - Viet Iced Coffee: Good, sweet, and refreshing! If I'm ever in this part of LEs, I'd stop by! Otherwise, there are tons of Viet spots in Chinatown with the same sentiment.

Authentic regional Vietnamese menu, but felt the execution was a bit bland! It's definitely more interesting than the standard casual Vietnamese joints in the neighborhood, but they really should increase the flavor and spice! Cute casual environment, cheap, fast service, nice for a quick bite!

Update 11/9: They sent me the shorted amount, but only after I pushed back. Hours later, they reversed course and sent me some messages taking back that it was their mistake even though they fully admitted to giving me the wrong change. I looked for reasons to believe it was accidental, but facts didn’t line up: 1. Long delay before returning my change when the restaurant was empty 2. Hovering around my table but avoided all eye contact. Easy to wave down before paying, but not after paying 3. Change should’ve been $85, but I got: 1×$20, 3×$10, 6×$5, 3×$1. The low denominations felt designed to distract from the discrepancy. 4. The apology I got over the phone when I asked for a receipt — I didn’t mention the issue here 5. The claim that the woman who shorted me is the “captain” with years of experience counting cash _________________ Original visit (11/6): Came solo for pho. Food was fine, portions small. Service initially friendly. I paid $101 on a $15.19 bill. The older lady in the green shirt took a long time to return and shorted me: $83.56 instead of $85.81. No receipt was given until I called, and the one I got was labeled as“copy,” meaning the original was printed and tossed. See photo attached. Her behavior after giving me the wrong change felt off: hovering around my table while avoiding eye contact, repeatedly walking past while I counted my money but the restaurant was empty. The $2.25 wasn’t the issue, but the strangely low denominations in cash (I got mostly 5’s and 10’s and one 20 bill) and the behavior felt very dishonest I regret paying cash — ended up costing 16% more and ruined an otherwise decent meal.
