"If you're reading this and you still haven’t been to Đi Ăn Đi, we hope you’re having a nice day, and we also hope you stop reading this and go to Đi Ăn Đi. Ideally, you'll bring a few friends to this Vietnamese restaurant in Greenpoint and tackle as much of the menu as you can. But if you don't have anyone who currently wants to eat with you, a bowl of the brisket phở at the bar is an excellent solo dining choice." - team infatuation
"Called out for modern Vietnamese food and presented as part of the neighborhood’s evolution beyond its traditional offerings." - Eater Staff
"Ordering nothing but phở at this breezy Greenpoint spot is like only listening to pre-psychedelics Beatles. You’ll be happy, but oblivious to the fact that it can get even better. That’s why alongside your beef phở with wok-seared brisket, or the lighter version with poached chicken, your order should include a few more things, like crunchy chả giò packed with pork and shrimp. This pastel-colored restaurant has been packed since it opened in 2018, and while you could come here for a cocktail and soup by yourself at the bar, the best way to experience Di An Di is with a few people and a large appetite." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, arden shore, carlo mantuano
"Friday through Sunday, this Greenpoint spot is offering a $70 three-course prix-fixe menu of Vietnamese BBQ dishes, like grilled rice paper with clams and sliced sirloin with lemongrass. The three seatings per night for parties of two can be reserved through their website, or if you’d rather order from their a la carte takeout menu, you can do so any day except Monday, and eat at seat-yourself tables out front Tuesday through Thursday. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - matt tervooren
"Another naturally-lit, verdant Greenpoint favorite is this Vietnamese restaurant that was opened in 2018 by the team behind the Lower East Side’s now-shuttered An Choi. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the noodle soups, which come accompanied by house-made riffs on sriracha and hoisin, but the Hanoi-style pho with fatty brisket, a scattering of scallions, and a single, sunny yolk, stands out. Much of the menu is designed to be shared, and the long tables in the back room are ideal for larger groups." - Emma Orlow
