I realized I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years and have never left a review. In my opinion, the Tofu Steak is the best plate you’ll find in Albany. Consistently perfect and a massive portion. Amazing staff as well. My wife and I usually split the tofu steak and fried vegetable spring rolls over vermicelli. The Pho is very good as well.

I go once a week. So fresh, and delicious. Portions are never skimpy. And everyone is so nice! Best Vietnamese food in the Capital Region for sure.

Just had the most authentic and comforting Vietnamese meal at Van's! Their Pho was a masterpiece - rich, flavorful broth brimming with tender beef and noodles. The spring rolls were crispy and bursting with fresh flavors. What truly made the experience special was the warmth and hospitality of the owners. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel like part of their family. Van's is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious and authentic Vietnamese food in Albany.

Love this place. Delicious food, enough for a second meal. I was with two other people and loved it. I had a form of roll wrapped in rice paper over rice noodles with veggies and a great sauce. One dinner companion had tofu steak, and the other had tofu curry. We started with tofu salad. Staff super friendly, prompt. Plenty of tables. Will return.

Amazing and authentic Vietnamese food. Their Pho is so good, especially during cold days. The portions are big, the price is good and the staff is nice & attentive. Note: if you are allergic to peanuts, let them know because a lot of the food and sauces come with peanuts.

Traveling West through New York state stoped by based on reviews.. let me tell you when somone says " u could kiss the chef" we had the Comb Beef Pho & Salmon in BBQ sauce both best ever! Everything was on 👉

The place is understaffed and is unable to serve customers well. While I was seated right away, it took 15-20 minutes to take my order. If u order any specialized meal, it will take much longer to get ur order. The staff do their best and try to be friendly and polite, but the long waits cannot overcome this. Food is above average.

Yummy! They serve authentic Vietnamese dishes. I ordered pho and pork with vermicelli. The pho is not too salty nor overly flavorful, but it's just right to enjoy. The vermicelli dish with pork is really huge with a nice Vietnamese flavor (lemongrass and a bit of fish sauce). I love this vermicelli dish!! Iced coffee with condensed milk is awesome as well. Highly recommended!

Pho soup 🍜 was a The soup was unsweetened, not salty, excellent traditional soup, the meat was ok, the sprouted women were not very fresh. The siera sauce was good, the waiter ignored us for 5 minutes but then they still came to our table, which we really didn’t like, and the service itself is good for a lover of true and real pho, you should visit this place

While the food here is good, they seem to do a mandatory gratuity of more than 20% even though this isnt listed in the menu. The receipt doesnt tell you how much each item was or how much the tip was, and this needs to be more transparent. When calculating it seems like the tip was more like 29 or 30%… very strange. They need to list the automatic gratuity policy AND the percentage tip on the menu, and I will reconsider my rating The pho is very good, the broth is delicious and you will want to drink it all. The lemongrass spicy beef I also recommend, its fragrant and a large portion size, but its fairly expensive to account for this. I appreciate that they will package your leftovers for you, and fill your water. The Vietnamese coffee and thai tea here are standard If the tip situation becomes more clear (they need to post the policy, and maybe make it a more reasonable %) then I will adjust my review

We were loving the Pho until we came across a secret ingredient. We won’t go back.

I had always enjoyed the tofu steak which was accompanied by asparagus and pickled daikon,carrot and cucumbers. The steak was grilled and tasty with peanut sauce. What I received on November 13 was disappointing, if not downright awful. The tofu steak was redolent of oil from what could only have been all all fry cook,the asparagus was non existent, and the side veggies were replaced with tasteless, steamed broccoli and bok choy. The entire meal was a far departure from the good dish I used to enjoy.
