"You can find some of our favorite summer rolls in the city at Hanoi House—a casual Vietnamese restaurant on St. Marks, right by the park. In addition to the summer rolls, we always order the rich beef phở that comes with a combination of filet mignon and brisket. You won’t be able to stop thinking about it for at least 32 hours." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"For a noodle-fueled, casual date night, Hanoi House in the East Village is a great option. The St. Marks Vietnamese restaurant’s phở bac with a 24-hour simmered broth is great to share, and if you opt for two meats it’ll only run you $19. Outside of that, the appetizers here are very good, especially the gỏi cuốn summer rolls with sausage and fried garlic, and the crispy pig ear salad. With loudish music and $17 cocktails, it’s a fun spot for some animated conversation." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Hanoi House serves the best summer rolls in NYC. The paper-thin wrappers holding in pork sausage patties and crunchy wonton bits are reason enough to get to this East Village spot, which is filled with students spending their weekly allowances. But there’s also shaking beef that tastes like it’s coated in maple syrup despite being as savory as the bone marrow it’s served with, and a braised beef bánh mì that you should dunk in its side of phở broth before every bite." - sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, arden shore, carlo mantuano
"Picture the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you in the past year. The only similarity that has with the phở bac at this cozy East Village spot is that you won’t be able to stop thinking about either in excruciating detail. The broth is rich and deep in flavor—made of simmering beef bones, ginger and star anise—the filet mignon and brisket are perfect, and the hefty servings of chopped cilantro and pickled garlic bring this bowl of soup over the top." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
"An East Village restaurant that, since opening, has centered its menu on northern-style phở and contributed to the recent focus on regional phở variations in the city." - Nat Belkov
