One of my 10 favorite restaurants in NYC, now and forever. Same order every time: crispy spring rolls, pork chops, salt/pepper shrimp, whole fish. In season, add soft shell crab. Kaboom.
The decor may be kitschy and the service often perfunctory, but the soft-shell crabs, pho with beef and scallions, and barbecued pork chops are magnificent - a Vietnamese standout in Chinatown.
Here for pho? You'll want to order the Pho Dac Biet (L1), a bowl of tender beef brisket and juicy eyeround paired with chewy tendon. Be sure to applaud the cow who gave so much of himself to the dish. Mehr erfahren
One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Best service and best food. Love these guys. I recommend the 'BBQ beef over vermicelli noodles' and 'salt & pepper squid'. Get a '33' beer as well. Enjoy!!!
This is a Chinatown institution. I've been coming here for over 15 years. Their Pho is one of the best. Try the Pho Dac Biet with beef balls. Their fried frog legs are great too.
if you fix up the spring rolls right, they're among the best I've ever had. add hoisin and the chili/garlic sauce, wrap in lettuce with a mint leaf and douse in fish sauce. bananatown.
Been coming here since 1990 and i still order the same meal -- summer rolls w shrimp, BBQ pork chop, crispy squid & their special iced coffee-- awesome every time!
Had their pho dac biet and cha gio. Friend ordered the pho ga. It was all very decent, didn't have an msg reaction. They did the cha gio right with rice paper wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers.
Before going to Winnie’s to imbibe in booze and karaoke, grab a tasty, cheap and fresh meal here – try a bowl of pho, bo luc lacsalad and soft shell crab. Finish with a café su da.
Been coming here for years. Have the soft shell crabs, sweet & sour fish soup. One of the few places that spring rolls are NOT pork (shrimp & chicken.) sure beef cubes and the regular stuff is good
Shrimp spring rolls, BBQ beef and Shrimp with black mushrooms was our choice. The food didn't disappoint. It was busy for lunch and we had a short wait for a table. Overall a good experience
By far the best Vietnamese in the city. The Pho is wonderful. The broths are flavorful and complicated. You can go for meat, or totally vegitarian if you want, so it's perfect for varied groups!
Decent Vietnamese food in the city. The sweet and sour soup is the best thing they have. Not the friendliest staff :( but the good comes out quick and us inexpensive!
Eat frog legs at this restaurant, they are the second best in NYC (and the absolute best value). The best are at La Grenouille (translation from French: the frog!, how apt)
