Cloud Vietnamese Restaurant

Delicious food, but wings is kind of salty or too much fish sauce. Love the Pho. Service is good but the server is kind of not friendly, probably because he work alone, bar tender and server. AC is not working that time we’re having lunch.

The spot open recently and I love it! I came with my friend during lunch hour and we got the lunch special. We both got the summer roll with the entree Pho beef noodle. It was great. Super fulfilling. I was greedy and got wings for appetizer. I got a black coffee which I love too. I would so come back again. Keep up the amazing food and vibe.

I was skeptical at first bc I've never seen Cloud Vietnamese before even though I pass this area all the time, so I asked the server he said the restaurant has just launched less than a week. I ordered chicken bún and diced steak, their fish sauce served with bún was complex in a good way, the diced steak was aromatic served on the sizzling pan which accentuated beef aroma, cooked in medium well, but to my surprise, the beef was still tender enough for my tongue to enjoy. I also liked the vibes, decor, especially the clouds. Overall was great. I'll definitely come back.

really cute, cozy restaurant. very nice decor which gives it its signature name. the ribs were simply amazing, hot and sticky and sweet. mouthwatering. the chicken bùn was very refreshing, like a nice summer salad. i demolished the entire meal! will be back again.

First of all this restaurant’ s location is really great only 4-6 min walk from Essex station ( 2 min if you run). Come back to main topic, our favorite dish is mackarel roll (summer roll w/ mackarel) and Bahn Canh ( dried squid broth really made me miss my home town), Pork chop is well Marinated and their calamari is the best I ever have, not too crispy not too soft also they have a jalapeño to spice thing up Last but not least the price is not expensive, affordable meal with really good taste, their service also great and you can bring your own bottle, And Enjoy your time at Cloud Vietnamese the best Vietnam restaurant in the area.

On a whim and in need of a quick dinner we stumbled upon this fine establishment. We stared with the spring rolls which were fresh and sizable. My wife had the Chicken Bun and the plate was perfectly portioned between chicken, noodles and greens. The accompanying peanut sauce really brought all the flavors in the dish together. I had the Banh Canh Cua seafood broth with noodles and shrimp and crab meat. The soup was tasty and with a good amount of shrimp and crab throughout. The staff were kind and courteous and service was quick and professional. Highly recommend!!

I passed by this new Vietnamese restaurant and saw very interesting varieties on the menu that I wanted to try. The decor looked fun and welcoming. I tried Bahn Xeo which was so tasty. The lemonade was very refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. Will definitely go back to try more dishes.

I would say this restaurant is awesome beautiful inside and the the food is amazing I tried the popular appetizer and Pho noodles it’s was so so good you guys should try and the price it’s not that expensive I heard about they have Vietnamese coffee but I haven’t try it yet I’m sure I’ll comeback to try next time ☺️🤤

I liked this restaurant a lot! I was really surprised by how delicious all the food was. We got the dry, stir-fried noodles and the chicken dish with a side of egg. Both were really reasonably priced and super flavorful. I didn't expect each dish to have so much flavoring. We also got the egg rolls, which were good, but nothing spectacular. I actually was trying to order the deep-fried, rice paper roll, but I think the server might have gotten confused. Overall though, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come again!

If you want Thai food you go to a Thai restaurant, and if you want Vietnamese you go to a Vietnamese place. Cloud Vietnamese's menu has flavors that were tailored to suit Thai preferences. This is not the place to eat authentic Vietnamese but they did have a tangy fish dipping sauce, bursting of umami. Banh Xeo, a savory turmeric fried pancake made of rice flour and water (aka Vietnamese crepe), was heavy, not crispy, and super bloated with shallots at Cloud Vietnamese Restaurant. The unappealing Corn Salad -definitely a Thai dish - was simply not the best, made with canned corn, and the overpowering taste of it was soapy. The Shrimp Spring Rolls Rice Vermicelli Bowl (Bun) had some very good vermicelli noodles but was missing equally good Spring Rolls- their undelightful rendition of Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls filled with shrimp tails, not Vietnamese style, and I did find it weird tasting and confused, unfamiliar looking.

A welcome addition to the Lower East Side, Cloud makes some pretty good Vietnamese food. I've been to Cloud a handful of times and for the most part, really enjoyed the food. The beef pho, while probably not the most authentic rendition (though I'm admittedly not an expert so I could be wrong), is fragrant and comforting. I also really like the pork chop and stir fried noodles. I wouldn't say it's anything mind blowing but I find myself coming back often. Service is very friendly and prices are reasonable. New York City isn't particularly known to have a bunch of good Vietnamese options so it's nice having this one in the neighborhood.

Walked in on a Friday night around 7PM and found the place to be almost empty. The server was very welcoming, and when asked to be seated at the used table, he immediately cleaned it for us. Given the lighting and interior design, it does give off dream vibes. Moving to the food.. We tried a bit of everything, from the animals that fly to the ones in the sea. We ordered the ribs, calamari, pork sausage roll, mango salad, diced steak, and pho to share amongst three people. Of the appetizers and roll, our top two were the calamari and the ribs. Be mindful, if you don't like fish sauce, you might not enjoy the ribs as much as we did. The diced steak was okay, a tad overdone to be honest. The pho was also a nice choice. Overall, the meal was enjoyable. If only they had a liquor license... Also, commenting on the bathroom, it's quite an interesting place, sorta feels like a daytime chamber.

It's Vietnamese with a Thai twist in my opinion. The mango salad came with the king fish steak was very refreshing. If you're looking for authentic viet, this's not the place. I believe they used instant soup base for their pho. I could understand cuz they're not pho focused. Will I come back, probably not.

Haven't dine in before so this review is just for lunch take out. Food portions were great and packing was attentive and thoughtful. The pho soup and noodles were separated and they wrote "VERY HOT" on the container to ensure customers don't burn their hand. The lunch menu only have three entree and I've tried both the pho and marinated pork shop over rice. The pho was lacking the traditional pho taste but will still pass if you're looking for comfort food. The pork chop was a bit hard and also lacking the traditional taste you find at more authentic pho restaurants. My favorite was the crispy spring roll appetizers - crunchy and delicious. Definitely worth it if you stop by during the lunch special.

The mackerel summer rolls here were divine. I didn't think I would like it better than shrimp rolls. The vibe was relaxing, the service was attentive, and the bathroom is handicapped accessible. The waiter said that while they're waiting for their liquor license to be approved, they're fine with Byob - which is a plus.

Service - good when done is available. Friday night at 730pm and understaffed... Food - mediocre 3/5 No meat on ribs and no flavor Wings were good 7/10 Beef cube 6/10

Popped in on a whim while visiting New York and was craving a bowl of pho....boy did cloud hit the spot. Delicious beef pho, really friendly service and the right price!

I was so surprised this place just opened! I was craving for Asian food and found this place by accident on Google. The ambience is very welcoming and very cute decorated with the clouds floating around. I sat on very comfortable couch by the window. I had bo luc lac ( diced steak) served w/ over easy egg in sizzling pan. The steak cooked on point I mixed it up w/ egg to cook everything throughly. I'm a huge fan of steaks this is so gooodd. Shout out to Cloud vietnamese! Let's get this place on fireee

This is one fabulous place! We went yesterday for a late lunch and were so impressed by the ambience, comfort, service, and especially the delicious food! We both had the $14.95 lunch special- the vegetarian pho with appetizer of summer roll for my husband, and the grilled chicken with salad and rice, and shrimp rolls as appetizer for me. the portions were very generous, so i had the rest of my chicken dish as dinner! We will definately be coming again to this lovey spot!!

Cute cloud ambience & spacious! The food was authentic and delicious, the waitress was nice and helpful. They also have BYOB option. Will definitely return, happy to have a good vietnamese spot in Lower East Side!

I walked by and noticed that there was a new restaurant. I decided to eat there with my friend. We had Pho, Banh Canh pork, Ribs and calamari. I'm sad that I was hungry and forgot to take a photo of the food. They're gone when I realized. Lol anyway, the food was very tasty. I could smell the balance herbs in the soup. Calamari and ribs were really good too. I heard that their shaking beef steak is very very good from their customers also, but we're full at that time. I'll mark it as my next plate. As far as I have tried, the food here is worth to eat. Trust me, I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food. The restaurant is very beautiful and cozy, especially in the bathroom. I love it so much. The staffs were nice and friendly. They offered me 20% off and free Thai tea for their first month opening. What a nice deal. I definitely come back soon for trying the shaking beef.

I always love Vietnamese restaurants that have both the typical dishes and unique dishes, and if you go with friends, you can get greedy and try classics and new flavors. The salmon was flavorful and the mango salad was refreshing and crisp. Loved the fun decor too!

Have had the seafood soup numerous times now, but confess that I'm conflicted about how to review the (beef) pho. On the upside, the sliced beef was remarkably tender and the tiny meat ball easily the tastiest, beefiest, I have had. As far as the downsides: the first thing that struck me about the broth was the strong funky scent of fish sauce, a flavor I personally don't like. Fresh basil leaf neutralized this but didn't quite eliminate the first impression. Also, the moist slices of beef brisket, which comprised the majority of the meat, had quite a bit of fat on their edge. Managed to avoid most of it, but took some work. So, for me the beef pho at 5ive Spice Soho still rules.

So pleasantly surprised. Walked into Cloud because I was visiting my niece who was living on that block and the evening was too cold to walk far. We walked in to a warm, welcoming, lovely setting and were met immediately by an equally welcoming wait staff. The next pleasant surprise was the quality of taste of the food. We ordered the shrimp rolls, the mango salad and the seafood noodle soup. Both the mango salad and the seafood soup were outstanding. Will definitely try to make my way to that part of town to enjoy this gem of a restaurant.

Delicious Pho and great service. The fried rice was also delicious. Definitely coming back!

What an amazing new Vietnamese fusion restaurant. Very comfy casual ambiance. Excellent customer service. There were so many beautiful creations but we were happily full on ribs, shrimp/pork roll, grill chicken bun and seafood bun canh cua . Thai ice tea is so good. Not too sweet like most places. Overall, very fresh food. A must try to solo eater, get together with friends or family.

I visited here about a month ago with my mother in law, my toddler and my husband while on vacation. I was 7 months pregnant and not feeling well at all with all the walking, raining and our flight cancellations. The young lady who I believe might have been an owner was nice enough to make me a lemonade since I did not order food and wasn't feeling well. I really appreciated her kind gesture and that lemonade was so good! My husband had a flank steak pho and mother in law had a chicken fried rice. Everything was a 10/10. Wonderful staff, clean restaurant - even the bathroom and terrific ambiance. Lots of instagram worthy decor! We will not forget about this restaurant!

I was really looking forward to trying out this new spot. They have a very exciting menu and the ambiance was very chic. But the noodles I ordered was the most disgusting noodles I've ever had my entire life. They were severely undercooked and barely chewable. When I brought it up to the waiter, he said that's how they meant to serve it. I've had rice noodles many many times, so I know how they're supposed to be texture-wise, this is just plain inedible. If they keep this up there's no way this place is gonna make it. The broth was bad on its own and the meat was very dry. Nothing was cooked right about this dish. I had no desire to try anything else after this. Waste of money. Since the waiter had no intent to remedy this, I'll leave this here. Maybe someone will try to make it better before enough people get disgusted and the place shuts down. I ordered N3 which is the pork noodle

I always order bun and Pho. I like bun because taste so yummy. Pork belly so soft..... love it.

Had a chance to eat at this new Vietnamese restaurant on my visit to NYC. Very cool, modern take on some classic Vietnamese dishes. Don't be fooled by the fancy digs inside - the food more than matches and exceeds the decor. High quality food, including the complex depth of the soup in our pho noodle. Highlights include the fried calamari and fried shrimp appetizers. The entrees we had were the pho and pork chops, which were yummy. The drinks were tasty and good value including the iced coffee and lychee juice drinks. Will be back!

The food was absolutely delicious! Our server was incredibly nice and helpful--he even added our favorite sauces to the leftover bag without us asking. Highly recommend trying the ribs, calamari, and buns. And don't miss out on the amazing homemade sauce provided in a bottle on the table. I really feel like we came at good time, because I'd imagine this place will be getting a lot of business once people hear about it!

This place is so cute and soooo delicious! I am obsessed with the tofu pho xao + summer roll lunch special - so affordable and a great portion size! I've eaten here three times so far & definitely will continue to come!!

We really enjoyed the food here. Every dish was so tasty and fresh. We kept forgetting to take pictures before digging in. The decor was also fun. With 20% off the bill, nothing can beat it. Definitely will go back again.

We are vegetarian and gluten free . And food was delicious and they were able to do our four dishes as gluten free. It's hard to find good Vietnamese that can do both. Would highly recommend!

This was our first time in NY and so we were relying on Yelp. Good food, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable pricing and so we rated 5 *

Varieties of choices; food taste great and authentic; very clean; high end decor - great for party or family gatherings; kids friendly. Love this place!

One of the best place for Pho I have ever been into. I loved the soup and shrimp rolls.

I've always been a bit of a picky eater. Was never really blown away by Vietnamese food. But I loved Cloud! The stir fry noodles were incredible. The vibe is really awesome - the colored clouds on the ceiling is pretty cool. The owner is a great guy! I'll be going pretty regularly!
