Opinions de Saigon Shack New York
Im biased because it was my go to place when I was student at NYU, but 5 years in still the same quality of broth and same delicious food. I love their Summer rolls and Pho selection. Heads up they accept Cash or you can pay from your phone.
Went here after a long day exploring NYC and I was not disappointed! The service was insanely fast and the food was some of the best pho I’ve ever had. We got the lemongrass chicken pho and the vegetaran pho as our main dishes and the vegetable spring rolls as a starter and all of the food surpassed our expectations
I visited Saigon Shack to celebrate a friend’s birthday a couple weeks ago. This cozy and unassuming Vietnamese restaurant delivers big flavors and great ambiance. The hustle and bustle of the restaurant during dinner service combined with the always busy street outside provides you a shelter to enjoy simple but delicious Vietnamese offerings. Make sure that you bring cash, and be prepared to settle into your seat to enjoy good company, this place is a standout among a vibrant restaurant community in the West Village!
I came in here on a cold, windy day, and the Vegetarian Phǒ was just what I needed to warm my bones and soul. The service was absolutely fantastic as well, I felt at home and taken care of in the space. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more of the Soy Protein to the Phǒ, there were only a couple pieces. Either way, I’ll definitely be back!
The lemongrass chicken pho was transcendent! Seriously, I never order chicken pho and it was so satisfying - smoky salty sweet savory. The noodles were perfect and it was a generous portion size. I cannot wait to come back again. The servers were friendly when I arrived and left and I’m glad they mentioned they were cash only when I got there because it can be ambiguous at times. The only thing that could have made the soup better was a larger side of bean sprouts, Thai basil or culantro. I can see why they wouldn’t want to give these out of people don’t use them but if personally could have used more.
Great pho spot. I love their lemon grass chicken it’s sweet, smoky, and incredibly juice. The portion is very big and the price is very affordable especially considering the location. Just to keep in mind that there might be a little wait line. We came here on a Monday 6pm and there were no available seats. Definitely will come again and try their rice dishes :)
I've been coming to Saigon Shack for 10+ years. I rarely get anything but the classic beef pho. It's my favorite in NYC. Big bowl, great service, reasonably priced. My order is always ready within a few minutes regardless if it's busy or not. One of my favorite spots in NYC. Friendly staff and Luisa is pretty awesome.

Decent prices for viet food in manhattan (~$15 for pho and most meals). Great, busy atmosphere and nice location near Wash Sq. Pho broth was flavorful and delicious.
Amazing food and priced well. Cash only . Service was incredible. We were in an out in under an hour. ambiance is cozy.

Tasty lunch, with a nice atmosphere, at an affordable price, and in a great location. Lots of options by Washington Sq. but if you are looking for Asian food, you won’t be disappointed

This place is great. Had the classic beef pho, a banh mi, some summer rolls, and a Vietnamese coffee - all were fantastic! I wish I could have eaten more from the menu, and I would definitely go …
Came here for the first time and had a pork chop banh mi which was normal, the bread wasn’t that crunchy. Had sweet potatoes fries with mayo sauce and it was good. Had fried springs rolls and they were ok. Overall the food was nice but not the best Vietnamese food Ive ever had. I could come here back to try other dishes. Good service and normal atmosphere. Note: They dont accept card and this is a downsize for the customers.
Price is very reasonable, especially given where it is located. Portion was very generous as well - I couldn’t even finish my vermicelli bowl in one setting. However, I do wish the dish would come with more fish sauce. The place was always packed, but we were lucky to score the bar seats. Service was speedy. Oh, and it is cash only!
We waited for about 10 mins for a seat for a table for 7 and made sure to bring cash. Service was fast, and the food came out hot and fresh. We ordered the brisket pho, pork chop with vermicelli, and the pork and shrimp spring rolls. The pork and shrimp spring rolls were smaller than expected, but they were crispy and served piping hot. The flavors were good, though I would’ve liked a slightly larger portion. The brisket pho came with thinner noodles than I’m used to, but it worked well. There was a generous amount of brisket, and the portion was big enough to share with my daughter. It was flavorful without being overly salty. You can definitely taste the MSG—it gives the broth that rich, savory depth that makes it so satisfying. I just wish it had been served hotter; I prefer my soup hot-hot. The pork chop with vermicelli was delicious—according to my partner, who enjoyed every bite. I’d recommend both dishes. The seating is limited and the space is small, so I suggest coming early. There is outdoor and indoor seating available.
Best spring roll vermicelli rice noodles in NYC. Get the works, with shrimp and pork chop - a great meal deal.
Food is great but they only accept cash. The seats are not many so in peak hours, you may have to wait longer. The environment is great.
Good pho and Vietnamese ice coffee. The broth was delicious and the staff was nice. Happy I found this restaurant in Greenwich
Come here for the hot "something" if you're freezing your butt off. Use the bathroom, get warm inside and out before paying cash only for mediocre food. The Vegetarian Pho was ok. It was hot, had some flavor but nowhere near authentic flavors. But we're grateful for getting warm here on a cold day

Personal Opinion Summary: Food Quality: is good!! should go and try Service: There IS a way to pay with CARD!! Even though they say Cash only. Here is the story: I recently visited this restaurant with my partner. While the food was genuinely enjoyable and the atmosphere was pleasant, I feel it’s important to share an issue we experienced so future customers are aware. When we were seated, the server told us that the restaurant accepted cash only and pointed us to an ATM outside. Because of that, one of us naturally went to withdraw cash. However, as we were using the ATM, the same server approached us again and suddenly mentioned that they could actually accept card payments through a QR code if the ATM doesn't work. Which it worked totally fine. This wasn’t just a minor inconvenience, it felt intentionally misleading. We weren’t upset about the ATM fee; what bothered us was the way the information was delivered. Instead of being transparent from the start, we were pushed toward withdrawing cash first and only later told that card payment was an option. That kind of behavior felt disrespectful and unnecessarily deceptive. What made it more concerning was that we watched several other customers go through the exact same confusion. Despite the restaurant listing debit cards as an accepted payment method on Google Maps, the server repeatedly told people that only cash was allowed. The inconsistency and the way it was communicated were genuinely disappointing. That being said, I want to be fair: the food was quite good, and under normal circumstances, I would return. But the way the payment situation was handled left such a negative impression that I’m hesitant to come back despite the quality of the meal. I hope the restaurant can address this issue and provide clear, honest payment information moving forward. Better communication from staff would greatly improve the overall dining experience.
I felt sad after my meal. The place has the feel. It has the clientele. It has the location. The bowl even looks right from the sidewalk. This pho should be straight banging but despite all that it does not live up to the billing. The pho chicken was rubbery. The bag of add ins was sparse. The broth was firmly classifiable as nothing special and where there should be an herbal almost medicinal quality to good pho broth it was just kinda sweet. Good pho should have the same restorative, ease creating, heart opening quality that every other cultures oldest soups share. Matzo ball. Korean chigae, pozole. The woman next to me at the counter said she had been going for 10 years and that they had indeed lost their touch. She said try China town. The bahn mi was alright but similarly nothing special.
Broth lacked authentic Vietnamese flavor. The classic pho broth was pretty bland. The spicy pho, I'm guessing was an attempt at bun bo hue but came really short. The place was also super crowded in t…
