Got the "king combo", great stuff, enough for two of us. The pork chops were great, and the grape leaf wrapped rolls were good too, almost tasted like Greek/Turkish dolma. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other stuff on the menu!

I personally enjoyed their #3 beef noodle soup very much, their broth was on point on the flavor. Location was convenient but there was a lack of AC in summer so I was sweating as I’m eating my noodles.

Easily some of the best and most affordable pho in New York City. Coming from people who spend A lot of time in Vietnam...I can honestly say this place makes me happy!

This place has a big menu with a lot of options. I have not tried the pho, but I really liked the banh cuon and spicy frog legs. The banh cuon was not as good as I have had but still hits the spot! I want to come back here and try more tasty Vietnamese classics. The decorations are nice and the service was very friendly and prompt.

I've been coming to this place for almost 20 years, and it's still tasty. I usually get either the sweet & sour soup with shrimp or the crispy calamari. Both are fresh and tasty. I recommend ordering the small size of either. Small is sharable and a very healthy portion. Today, I ordered the soup and split fried rolls and summer rolls with the table.

Really delicious and fast service. Would visit again when I’m in the neighborhood. So warm for a cold winter night.

✨️ Umm...where does one start!? The minute I entered this cozy Viet-diner 🇻🇳 🥰, I felt like I was 10lbs lighter ~ stress and anxiety instantly gone: insane grandmother recipe food ✔️; incredible, kind service (took our pics, genuine) ✔️, atmosphere and super fair prices 😀 ✔️ ✅️ It's a 💎. Cảm ơn rât nhiều!!! ✨️

I have been going to this spot since 2011. Best pho in the city by a mile and I’ve been to many Vietnamese places. And even with inflation and rising food prices is still extremely affordable

Everyone was super nice and friendly. Service was good. appetizers came and then our pho. Everything was delicious. Coming from Seattle, I have been trying to find a reasonably priced Vietnamese spot with good stuff, and this is THE SPOT. I also have to say that I love their egg rolls that they make using rice paper, whereas a lot of viet places take the easy way out using wonton wrappers. Everything was super authentic, reasonably priced, and delicious. Will definitely be a regular customer.

The best pho in NYC, amazing service, ask for Pino he speaks spanish, vietnamese and english. Thanks Thai Son!

Always fresh and always tasty. Pot of tea with every table.

Very nice and tasty experience of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. I warmly recommend.

My go-to combination at this place includes the Bahn Mi Classic, Beef Pho, and 3 or 7 color dessert (I highly recommend the tricolor if you like sweet beans). The Bahn mi bread is crunchy and warm, and the best part is you can customize your flavors with the sriracha and hoisin sauces available at every table. The portions are generous. Don't miss out on the tricolor drink, a coconut milk-based dessert with hard jellies and a mix of smashed mung beans and sweet red beans (Stir well!). While the restaurant is often packed during lunchtime, you'll typically find a seat fairly quickly. Plus, they have an in-house bathroom.

Great place and very nice people work there. Me and my friend met Andy, one of the owners of the place, he was very welcoming and friendly. We were left with the great impression. Food was delicious, healthy and light. I’d come again)) ありがとう👍🏻

Tasty Vietnamese food! The portions are large and they'll fill you up. I always come here with my family whenever we're in the mood for Vietnamese dishes. My family units tend to order noodle soup dishes. Their savory broths are rich in flavor, but clean and light tasting at the same time. I always order the Spring Roll and Pork over Vermicelli Noodle Salad (Bun). It's pretty much a bowl of all my favorite ingredients. The spring rolls are nice and crispy, the slices of grilled pork flavorful, and the vermicelli noodles over lettuce and cucumbers make a refreshing base for a cool summer meal.

Went in for a quick coffee back in January 2025, ended up ordering Pho and pork and shrimp spring rolls. It took a while for the food to come out but I would say it was worth it. Good portions and prices too! Server was kind as well

It's been a minute since I've been here, but this was my go to viet spot in Chinatown, back in the days. Food was always solid, whether it was the pho or rice dishes. Took my viet gf from our of town, and we ordered the pho and Bo luc lac with fried rice, and both were delicious and reminded me why I love this restaurant! She approved and thought the bo luc lac was better than the pho (she's a certified pho snob).

There are not many good Vietnamese restaurants in NYC but this is one of the few that is good with pricing comparable to other places in the country. Highly recommend.

Has been my number 1 Vietnamese restaurant in NYC for the past 18 years. The food tastes authentic to Vietnamese restaurants my family and I use to dine at. So many dishes I can't find in most Vietnamese restaurants, and so good that I could eat there every day lol. I always recommend this restaurant because it has been part of my life for so long. Dishes i will always recommend: Pork spring rolls with vermicelli noodles, The grilled pork chops and white rice, and The classic pho with beef, meatballs and tripe.

Pretty good Vietnamese food here. I ordered Vietnamese fried noodles (Mì xào giòn) and some chè (pudding). It is very delicious and authentic. The waiters are friendly and pleasant. You should try this place if you are looking for Vietnamese eats in New York.

I have been here several times and it never disappoints. The food is feels light but never fails to satisfy. The first time I came here, I had a bowl of pho which was piping hot and tasty. The broth wasn't too strong or too salty. The next time, I ordered the spring rolls over vermicelli. The spring rolls are filled with flavorful pork and have a thin, crispy wrap. It comes with a sauce made of fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar. That sauce comes with most of their dry dishes and it tastes amazing: tangy, sweet, and salty! Most recently, I had the beef rice rolls with pork slices. It was tasty but the rolls fell apart very easily and could be improved by adding more beef in them.

I love the food here. One portion is huge.

Consistently decent Vietnamese food in the area. Can get busy at times which is great for them, but the wait isn’t too long usually. Service is prompt and helpful. Favorites are the grilled pork chop, bo luc lac (beef cubes), and the beef wrapped in grape leaves. Also love their spring rolls cause I think they use rice paper so it’s got some extra texture to it. The pho is always satisfying. Nothing like a hot bowl of noodles and soup.

Great spot for some comfort noodles. I got #2 on the menu. It was a medium bowl of beef noodle soup with beef balls, beef tendons and sliced meat. It was very hearty. I would recommend getting the cold noodles on a hot summer day. I also tried their grilled pork which was flavorful, thin and crisp.

Best taste of bun dau mam tom in china town New York so far ,, I don’t need travel so long to my hometown to eat this dish cause Thai Son have exactly same taste as home ,,, must try and you will not disappointed,, one of the shrimp paste fan ever !!!

Initially…. Great atmosphere of fresh dishes being served softly chatting among each table about the awesome dishes served . When our turn , same experience with no disappointments of services , waiter , dishes , atmosphere among other guests

Formidable. Top 5 for certain. One of my go to Vietnamese joints.

Me and my husband love this place!!! Amazing food, served very fast, price is just mind blowing, size of portions are crazy. Never felt disappointed in here. God bless Thai Son 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Food was amazing! Really savory broths for the pho and Bun Bo Hue, with hearty of meat/tendon/tripe for a VERY cheap price. The lettuce wrap platter had huge portions of meaty spring rolls, meatballs, and juice grilled pork chops. Excellent service. Despite being located in an unappealing street in Chinatown, the outdoor seating was very spacious and clean. Definitely coming back here soon

Food is great and at affordable prices! The service is speedy and good! The food is yummy! If you’re looking for Vietnamese food in Chinatown then I highly recommend this place! Food is delicious.

We love this location as well as Jackson Heights location. THE BEST Vietnamese restaurant in the US for sure! We always order #1, #45 and #48. :)

Vietnamese restaurant with many kind of vn foods. I like spring roll and special triangle spring roll. Com phan (Vietnamese rice with kind of food with soup, stir vegetables, caramel fish, grilled pork chops…) very delicious and fresh. Broken rice served with grilled porkchop delicious too. Highly recommend to come here to try authentic taste of Vietnamese foods. Valuables food with nice price. Staff kindly and quickly served. Nhà hàng Việt nam ngon ở china town new york.

Thai Son Vietnamese is a rare gem in NYC and one of those places that instantly feels right the moment you walk in. The pho is exceptional—deep, clean, patiently simmered broth with real soul behind it. You can taste the care and tradition in every bowl. The spring rolls are fresh, balanced, and perfectly textured, making them an ideal companion to the soups. Add in the drink specials, and it becomes a place you can comfortably linger or refuel quickly, depending on your mood. The decor carries a beautiful traditional essence—warm tones, classic Vietnamese touches, and paintings that quietly tell a story without trying too hard. It feels authentic, grounded, and welcoming, not manufactured. What truly sets Thai Son apart is the service: fast, attentive, and genuinely professional. The staff move with purpose and kindness, making the entire experience smooth and effortless—even during busy hours. In a city overflowing with options, Thai Son stands out for doing things the right way. Honest food, strong flavors, great energy, and consistency. A Chinatown staple and a place I’ll keep coming back to.

Food was delicious. Friendly, attentive staff. Complimentary tea with the meal. The sautéed steak was very tasty

Jon Ramos

Thai Son in New York City is a hidden gem serving incredible Vietnamese food. The grilled chicken is juicy and perfectly charred, the grilled pork chop is tender and flavorful with a sweet-savory glaze, and the Vietnamese spring rolls are fresh, crisp, and delicious. Great flavors, friendly service, and excellent value — a must-try spot in the city.

Ana

I absolutely LOVE Thai Son. They have some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever eaten, and I could not recommend it more. I come here every year for my birthday because of how delicious it is. My favorite dish is the number 47, noodles with spring rolls. The food also comes out within 10 minutes of ordering.

David Chastain

Delicious Vietnamese on the edge of Chinatown. Many people were eating pho. I'll have that next time. The spring rolls were fresh. Egg roll and pork vermicelli was incredible. The little fried eggs rolls mixed up with noodles is out of this world if you've never tried it!! We really enjoyed kicking off our day at Thai Son

Roque Azcona

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants every time I come to the city, I make sure to stop by! I always order the beef cubes with a side of egg rolls, and it’s consistently delicious. I recently brought a couple of my good friends here, and they loved it too. Definitely a 10/10 experience!

Belle

My family's favorite Vietnamese spot, and I completely agree with them. Additionally, it's in a great location. The pho is delicious, and the spring roll is totally crispy. I was surprised by the generous portion of soup served in a large bowl lol, but overall experience and the service were good.

Super quick service, yummy food, good portions! Fried chicken thigh was crunchy and moist. Grilled pork in the vermicelli was charred nicely and flavorful. I would come back!

Good value for Vietnamese Pho with all the traditional toppings. Large bowls appear to be a good value, but you might find much more noodles than cuts of meat. I tried the Che Ba Mau/Rainbow Ice, but not up to par - unless you enjoy the dessert stacked with peanuts.

Great pho soup. Absolutely awesome calamari appetizer. The service was quick and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Very authentic viet restaurant in Chinatown. Everything's good but also the viet restaurant next door sells the same stuff w half the price.

This is one of those solid quick service Thai restaurants in Chinatown that you go to if you want a nice bowl of Pho and spring/summer rolls. Go in, get a table, ask for a # 1, and in a few minutes you'll get your nice big flavorful bowl of noodle soup. Nothing fancy, just fast service, generous portions, and very reasonable price. A great place to grab a quick lunch without denting your wallet.

I like the Vietnamese cold noodle with the spring roll and pork chop! Their Vietnamese coffee is good, too.

The beef vermicelli salad was good, and the Vietnamese coffee was very rich and strong.

The food here was amazing as well as the service! The space would be similar to an extended Asian restaurant. Nothing fancy about the decor/ seating/ etc. but def worth a try if in the area and unsure where to go. We ordered the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Sautéed Shrimp w/ Mixed Veggies and the Seafood Chow Fun. We wish our waiter would’ve informed us the plate were similar but nonetheless it was tasty.

Good place to eat in China town, I like the taste and ambiance of this restaurant. The only drawback is that they charge extra if you pay with credit card, but that's a relief as 90% of places in China town are cash only.

Ok, first things first, I have been going to this place for about 12 years now. in the past 2 months alone i have been here at least 6 times. The food is amazing. But can we please talk about the spring rolls??? By far the BEST spring rolls. If you have not checked this place out yet please do. Prices are definitely on budget. It is a very cozy spot. The tea is also very soothing. My favorite dish is the beef cubes with white rice. In the winter I usually get the pho and those are also delicious.

Usually food is amazing here but not sure what happened since COVID. Prices went up, different taste and service seemed to reduce.

Pretty good. The seasoning is a little bit strong but the broth lacks depth of flavor.(That’s New York style Pho.) Cha gio is really good. Another little disappointment is the lemon. I prefer lime than lemon for Pho as any other places. Besides, a sticker on a lemon is not acceptable.

Thai Son is one of my favorite restaurants! I've never had a bad meal here. The grills chicken with rice or grilled pork chop with rice are my usual choices, but the pho and vermicelli are delicious too. And no meal is complete without Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Spring Rolls!

A local favorite; I've been to this restaurant since childhood. Authentic Vietnamese dishes and noodle soups- the crispy spring rolls are the staple appetizer to complete your meal. Tonight's chilly weather called for a bowl of hot soup and I went for the seafood egg noodle pho. Admittedly my bowl this time was a disappointment: egg noodles were a bit tough and the soup tasted flat. The upside is the ingredients were plenty and varied. Hindsight I should have stuck with the original rice noodles. Service was speedy and typical.

Great pho with beef balls for $12. A roomy restaurant with both big and small tables. Lots of waiters and they all help you! Very good experience!

Thai Son never disappoints! Love the phó, spring rolls, grilled chicken rice dish, etc. I’ll definitely be back soon enough ☺️

The food here was beyond refreshing! It felt like eating a tropical island in every bite! The shrimp salad was so satisfying and sweet, like nothing I've ever eaten! #37 is the best thing to order over all. Their pho has a familiar classic taste. When they are too busy, the service is a bit rushed or too busy to handle your requests asap. They also serve an interesting avocado milk shake!

Haven't been here in over a year. Food prices like the economy have shot up. The Vietnamese dishes are authentic and have good flavor. Decided to do take out since this was during lunch. The egg rolls were just right and not overly burnt as when I had this dish in the past.

The food is good for comfort but nothing amazing. I’ve come here for many years now and the flavors remain the same. As in, the broth for Pho is a semi-thick meat broth that is quite one-dimensional in flavor. It would be nice to taste some other spices and herbs. Overall, good for the price 😃.

Tasty Vietnamese food at good price point in NYC. We order the beef pho, bun, and Vietnamese spring roll, and they taste good. Food is quickly served.

The food here is pretty decent for the price. Always get their large combo one which has beef, tendon, and some tripe. The portions are quite good for the pho but I think that the toppings are sometimes a little skimpy. We also got the spring rolls and there was only two piece of lettuce for four rolls which didn’t really make a lot of sense. The service was good and they got our orders pretty quickly. If I can recommend anything, try the avocado smoothie because that is like the best things to get here as well. I saw them make it and they actually use fresh avocados, condensed milk, and that is amazing.

3.6 🌟 #24 spring rolls of 4 - $8.75 cash / $9.06 card #2 medium bowl w/ fixins - $14.95 cash / $15.47 card #9 grilled pork chop noodle soup - $14.50 cash / $15.01 card *NOTE - This place and Pasteur on the same block are the only ones open on a Monday The amount of food given was good. The broth came hot but it felt more oily. It was definitely a less clean tasting broth and more beefy in a oily-coat-your-throat way. I like that the #2 bowl has eye of round, brisket, tripe, tendon and beef balls. #3 has everything BUT beef balls. There was a good amount of noodles, but I prefer the cleaner tasting broth next door at Nha Trang. The spring rolls were good. They show both cash and card price here which was interesting. It made the menu chaotic to look at but it definitely was helpful to see price differences. Price wise, it is in the middle between the three viet spots on this block. I would come here again if Nha trang was closed for a quick viet meal.

The spring rolls were delicious! I love when they give you the lettuce and basil to wrap it in. On the downside, limited air conditioning 🥵, but that's almost always the case in Chinatown.

Veronica Leong

Thai Son gets the job done. Perhaps it used to be better. I like that this spot is spacious and bright. The pho is alright, not the best, but, again, gets the job done. I recently ordered their BBQ Pork Banh Mi, which came out to ~$15.50! (A bit pricey for a banh mi, if you ask me.) However, I was so hungry that I devoured it - it was delicious! The bread was nice and crispy and pork was grilled nicely. The staff here is meh. I ordered my banh mi to go, sat on the side for over 10 min, and had to go up to the counter to ask for it. The banh mi had been sitting there, but I wasn't made aware that it was ready.. Anyway, I personally prefer Nha Trang One a bit more, right next door, for their pho, imo.

Jonathan S

As far as restaurants go, this wasn't bad. On the pricier side as well, but not over the top. For starters, the chicken dish didn't have much flavor and also had that "chickeny not-fresh" taste to it, but luckily they had siracha, a chili sauce, and some sort of brown sauce on the table which really helped the dish out. The beef dish was really good, but still could have done with more spice as well so I added some of the brown sauce and a bit of siracha. After doing that, I thought the dish was perfect. I didn't try the soup dish for myself but I was told it was good. The service itself was fine, but it's worth noting that we specifically had to call someone after waiting roughly ~10 minutes for the bill. Not a big deal though because they seemed to be very busy. Also, I usually use a restroom at a restaurant to judge how clean the restaurant in general might be and happy to say that the restroom passed inspection. And for anyone reading this review and wondering, there are TWO single-person restrooms available for customers. So overall, not bad food or a bad restaurant, but personally wouldn't visit again because the food was pretty mediocre and there's no need to settle for mediocre food in NYC of all places.

Just ok. I think we ordered maybe the wrong things. Had the #15 mixed seafood on crispy noodles (turns out I prefer non crispy noodles and don't care for fish balls) and the #43 Vietnamese crepe with shrimp and pork (had much better in Ho Chi Minh City, the pork had a weird burnt taste). Wouldn't order either again.

3/5. The 3 stars came from the food the place had. The broth and noodles were unique and delicious in the fact that they had unique ingredients included within. The restaurant is missing 2 stars due to the service and overall surroundings. I asked for extra ingredients but they did not come back at all. The restaurant was also obnoxiously hot. This was especially saddening since it is the summer time.

Standard Vietnamese but nothing fancy. My pork was tough and the vermicelli bowl didn’t have a ton of flavor. I went at lunch during jury duty & it was packed. They ended up putting 3 single diners at a shared round table to seat us faster. They charge extra for using a credit card. I would go somewhere else next time.

Have been going to another location for 20 years. It closed so I started coming to this location from Queens. I will not come again. They changed the broth of the soup. I should know , I've had it hundreds of times. No flavor at all.

Please note that Thai Son has a 3% surcharge for credit card orders. The pho (item #1 on the menu) has an interesting combination of textures, with the beef, tendons and tripe, but the taste is just average. For more reasonable prices and a better-looking interior, I recommend going instead to Pasteur, just next door.

We came here for lunch during a very hot day. All the other nearby restaurants didn't have AC on so, we settled to eat here. The restaurant was packed and we had to wait 10 minutes before being seated. We sat in the back near the bathroom and kitchen. If I were to visit this restaurant again, I wouldn't sit in this same spot again because it had a weird smell that dampened my experience here. Also, I would avoid using their hand sanitizer. It was sticky and a strong chemical smell. I ordered shrimp fried rice ($9) and it was tasty. I feel like its really hard to mess up fried rice which is why I always order it when I am starving. I added some hot sauce to spice up the dish. Farabe has been here several times and usually gets the grilled shrimp on rice vermicelli ($10). They love how well done and charred the shrimps are and the homemade sauce. They finished every single drop in the bowl and wished they had more. One thing, I didn't like was that I wanted to order a banh-mi in addition to my rice but, was told that they use wing and leg meat in their sandwiches. Personally, I find meat in those part of the chicken to be disgusting and I was disappointed because I prefer chicken breast instead. This is was the first time I was ever heard of a restaurant using that kind of meat for sandwiches. The staff was okay as they took our order and left us to our own devices. I would visit again if I am in the area and craving comfort food at affordable prices.

+3

Tried to order steak and tendon (customized) but was asked to order #3 which is the steak, tripe and tendon. Tripe tasted a bit funky and there was only a couple thin slice of tendon. Asked for chili oil but was rather rudely told they had nope. What decent pho joint doesn’t have chili oil!?! And there wasn’t any basil given, only three short straws of sawtooth coriander!

We visited on a holiday and waited about 20 minutes for a table—a standard wait for a busy day, though it felt a bit longer with children in tow. The food was definitely the highlight of the meal: the grilled pork chop with rice, bun bo, and fried spring rolls were all delicious and well-prepared. The curry noodle soup with chicken drumsticks was another standout. ​However, our dining experience was hindered by the logistics of the space. Our party of five was squeezed into a very cramped table directly in the kitchen's path, requiring us to shift our chairs multiple times to stay out of the way of staff. While the restaurant has a spacious "old school" feel, some of the decor—like the synthetic plants—could use a refresh to help the atmosphere match the quality of the kitchen. ​Most concerning was the state of the restrooms; they were quite unkempt, with paper cluttering the floor and no paper towels available to dry hands. I would consider returning for the food, but I would likely request a different table and hope for improved attention to the facilities.

Ph Linh Ng

15$ for a bowl of pho with well-cooked beef. It’s not bad and good either. The broth is quite bland, not rich like Nha Trang One, the Vietnamese restaurant right next door. They both don’t serve fresh rice noodles. But the service is fast unlike Tèn Ten (super understaffed), like you go to the restroom and when you get out the food is already there. The portion is smaller than Nha Trang One. All in all, I’d go for the latter for Pho, of the same price and unauthenticity.

This Vietnamese restaurant has a pretty comprehensive menu with medium to high prices serving up pho with beef, pork or chicken. A variety of drinks and appetizers to tackle those taste buds. I use to visit this establishment in the past and the food and service was great but my visit today the waiter took over 10 minutes to take my order, the appetizers didn’t come our first like it usually does and the grilled chicken was greasy and not flavorful. This is a decent spot for a quick meal. Establishment gets three stars because the service wasn’t great and portions of my meal did not meet expectations.

Nice little viet shop on Baxter street. Selection of various viet soup with different proteins. You also have rice dish’s. There are large selection of drinks. Price has gone up thru the year due to inflation. The soup also seemed not as seasoned due to the increase of cost for ingredients. Still one of the better locations for viet soup but there been a decline. Average 25-30 per person with a drink.

There were bugs in the food. Food was also really greasy. I’m concerned about sanitation overall.

There was hair in my noodles. The staff are rude. Demanding I give them more tip and trying to double charge me for the noodles I sent back with hair in it.

Pho is too greasy. Service doesn’t exist. Had to call for service after 10min of waiting when staff are all walking around. Had to ask for the check. Asking for extra bean sprouts and they come to dump it on your table.

Been there inspired by a room full of people. Ordered some bbq Chicken with brown rice and a shared dish with sea food and vegetables. After less than 4 minutes everything was on our table, wow, quicker than a very fast food. Our drinks were there 20 mins afterwards. As you can see from the pics, the main course in the middle was as crispy and some old fries. No difference tasting the pork or the chicken. The veggies tasteless. Result: running back home for the toilet. I didn't eat anything in the last 11 ours, just still water. No issues before.

This is some of the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. Do not recommend. It's just like any other cheap Chinese restaurant.

I order the Pho soup. The waiter was terrible and pushy. The soup had more fat than actual meat and leftovers of pork belly. I definitely will not recommend this place to friends or family. Not recommend!

Instead of the $2.25 difference for the large soup, They charged $5.50 and ripped it off. Also, they didn't want to give me a receipt because I paid in cash. Poor management low quality service and food.

After the Thai son in Jackson heights closed down, I wanted to take my friend to this place to try Vietnamese food. When we got there, the waiter was extremely rude and rushed us to place an order not only that he snatched the menu out of my friends hand before she could even order. It took more than 20 minutes for us to get water and when the food came, the dishes we ordered were all wrong and wasn’t even our order. The same waiter forgot to also bring us any type of silverware or napkins, and we have to ask another waiter to do it. When we got our actual order. He gave us the bill and slammed it on the table, spilling some of the food onto us while we were eating he was rushing us to be done when the restaurant closed and over an hour. When I went to pay the bill, I gave a small tip because of how rude he was, and after I paid and sat down, he came aggressively over to my table and demanded a bigger tip when I explained to him why the amount was the amount he started arguing with me about things that were not true. While the food was amazing and just how I remembered the Jackson Heights one being and my friend complimented how good the food was, the waiter definitely ruined the experience. I didn’t get his name since he never gave it, but I would definitely not recommend going to him.

RUDE and NASTY. AVOID at all costs, literally. They demand higher tip than the usual percentage and expect you to lick their shoes. Hair in food, with bugs and rats towards the kitchen. Old balding chinese guy with glasses was very creepy too, im not sure if he’s the manager. But please go somewhere else, i’ve seen UNSANITARY stuff going on when I went to the bathroom in the back. Do yourself a favor and get REAL AUTHENTIC vietnamese food from NEXT DOOR Nha Trang One

I dined in and was highly dissapointed. The staff could be friendlier, the restaurant was freezing cold and the freshness was questionable. I ordered beef and noodles and underneath was brownish wilted lettuce and bean sprouts. To go, I got a chicken stir fry dish that contained large bitter slices of ginger and mushy rice. I have never in my life had food so repulsive. This is really sad.

Staff become aggressive and hostile when you don’t tip!! Tips are earned and my bf didn’t tip based on the mediocre service. The woman server tried to coerce him saying he needed to add something for “taxes”. When he said no, she rolled her eyes and shook her head. Then the staff gathered together and sent the older man waiter to run us down while we were leaving. The older man kept saying “You didn’t leave a tip.” And upon answering him, he just kept saying “Why won’t you tip?” Over and over as if he scolding a young child, while also almost blocking us from leaving. Whoa! This level of shamelessness is disturbing. And from reading the other reviews about their behavior with tipping it’s not uncommon of them to act like this. Definitely won’t be returning here and be careful with them.

Rude even if you tip them or are a regular customer. Do yourself a favor and go right next door to Nha Trang One instead(way more authentic, tastes better by a large margin, better service, cleaner, and more bang for your buck) . Because Thai son is NOT authentic at all, food is filled with grease. Saw a rat around and some bugs fly around near the kitchen. They beg for tip and if you don’t, they show how upset they get. Very unprofessional

Lets start how the service was trash, took them 10 mins to notice us and place us on a table when clearly there are other tables open. Second the Food was Mid. Actually Bad the calamari taste like burnt oil and the pho taste expired. Overall Not Worth it. Doesn't taste authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
