Wonder Pho New York Reviews
Everything here was incredible, amazing gem and more reason why I love NYC so much. They were playing some Vietnamese bangers in there too lol. I loved the pho, the short rib was so tender and meaty, the dumpling texture was amazing with the right chew and perfectly seasoned and also their sauces really stood out. I got the dessert to go since they were closing soon and it blew me away. So simple yet so delicious, great quality mangoes and perfectly sweetened. I will definitely add this to one of my go to spots for pho. The server was also really chill and attentive.
My First time trying Vietnamese food and I was not disappointed. I had the spring rolls with peanut sauce and the shrimp and pork dumplings as an appetizer, it was so food and light I went in and forgot to take a picture. As a main course I went with the Wonder Pho. The way it hit the spot is behond words. To finish off I had the coconut jello. 10/10. The staff was so sweet, excellent service and food. I look forward to going back.
Jeff was such an amazing host and took really care of me and my friends and the Pho was amazing! I had the WonderPho with a beef brisket instead of the beef meatball. Jeff also gave us these coconut jello and it was soo good! The pecking deck steamed bun was good
Delicious pho! Service was great. Walked in and immediately got seated, and our order was taken quickly. Food arrived and it was a very generous portion of pho, perfect to combat the winter snow! Even got a complimentary treat after our meal. Will be back!
I visit here quite often and haven’t been able to a few months. We had Jeff as our server for the first time and he was amazing. Very personable and attentive. Will always come back *famous beef pho(23) is a great option if you’re indecisive*
WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country. The portion sizes are excellent, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are rich and delicious! The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!
The loveliest restaurant!. Excellent, excellent food. I got the Chicken Pho Noodle which was perfectly seasoned and hot. Delicious. Jeff was a wonderful server. This is now a go to spot for me! Run don’t walk.
Tried this place randomly with wife and we left in a way better mood! The aesthetics were beautiful and peaceful inside, and the staff very polite, attentive, and professional. We ordered Pho King and the Famous Beef Pho and because of the rainy weather and it really warmed the soul. Ingredients were fresh and the broth had deep, savory flavors. We also met the owner who was very kind and generous with the desert. A lot of options for lunch special deals <$18, will be back again!
WonderPho is hands-down one of the best Vietnamese spots around! The pho is rich and flavorful, the curry noodles are incredible, and every dish tastes super fresh. The portions are generous and always hit the spot. The vibe is calm and welcoming, it's perfect. But what really makes this place special is the service. Jeff is the best: attentive, friendly, and always goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. He makes every visit feel personal. Highly recommend this place! Thank you leg Jeff!
All the food items came out wonderfully! The popcorn chicken is crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the sizzling steak is tender! The grilled pork is sweet with a generous portion, and the noodle soup is chewy with rich flavor. Service is really quick and attentive. Bubble tea and cold noodles were also amazing
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.

Clean , welcoming restaurant with mild music for you to enjoy with company, friends, love ones or just having a one on one with yourself for lunch etc. That coconut jello at the end of my meal add me craving for more. This spot is small but it’s packed with flavor and much more let’s show them some love and support them go try any item on the menu I’m sure you will enjoy it all!!!
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.
Very disappointing Vietnamese food. This restaurant has a high google rating and a fair few customers so we decided to try it out. Ordered the spicy pho which is a staple, however it was very bland and tasted like watery siratcha. The food was not great. On the plus the service was good. They did have a sign saying free jelly if you did a google review so maybe this is contributing to the high rating.
Unfortunately my beloved restaurant has been hijacked by new owners and the pho that was once sublime and as delicious as the bowl my aunts once made, is now just a big brown bowl of beef flavored slop. How can I tell? No depth, no fat, not clear, and completely dense with impurities floating in the broth. This is not how pho should taste like. I ate, I paid, and vowed never to return, despite patronizing this place for years. Sad.
Have never written a bad review but this was really disappointing. Ordered curry noodles after looking at the amazing reviews and pictures ….however what I got was not only nothing like the pictures in the reviews or restaurants own menu but it also was very bad in taste - so watered down, no flavor, no substance, and just overall horrible. Nothing about the dish was redeemable. (Last picture is for reference, what I expected the order to resemble)
