Monsieur Vo

Come with a big group of people so you can try basically every dish. We’ve been to Madame Vo so we had high expectations of this place. We didn’t get the braised beef shank because it was $125 and we opted to try more variety. Might be down to come back and get the beef shank. Chicken salad was good and the platter stood out. Crispy pork belly was also very good. A lot of these dishes they bring over rice paper so you make rolls yourself which was also an excellent experience. Was slightly surprised by the crab fried rice because it was on the sweeter side. Would skip the curry and other appetizers next time. Good for family style!

Enjoyed this restaurant thoroughly, we arrived early and were directed to the bar. Nice drinks, we all tried the drinks with Sake and were strong and delicious but smooth at the same time. Service is fast and staff is very attentive, we ordered appetizers and the beef tartare which I tried was incredible. There was plenty of dishes to choose which were gluten free also. For my main dish I ordered the while sea bass MP $95 and it was perfectly cooked, great to share and it comes with ingredients to put together your own spring rolls. Can't wait to be back, highly recommend to make a reservation.

Went into this dinner without much info on the place and left very happy + full. Incredible food and large portions - highly recommend going with a group of 4-6 people to try as many dishes as you can. The beef shank is amazing and is a must order. Sure, it’s $125, but not bad split between a larger group. It’s like 3 lbs of meat that falls right off the bone and we even had leftovers to bring home for sandwiches. Plenty of other great dishes too and the sake was flowing. Highly recommend!

Go here! All around awesome restaurant, with great food and awesome service. The beef shank is worth the hype, super delicious and a large portion, even good as leftovers. Beef tartare was good, I don’t remember the name of our other apps, but everything tasted great. Drinks were also refreshing and delicious. Check this place out, definitely a must try place in the city.

Nice specialty Vietnamese restaurant with some authentic and good twisted dishes. Resonably priced and great date-night kind of place, not a pho kinda place, but a cool intro to unique dishes place. Blue crab, beef shank, squab, bone marrow, fried fish 🐟 and many other unique bites bring the meal together perfectly. Good experience ~

The food was amazing. It is evident that a lot of thought goes into every dish -- the different flavors match perfectly. I enjoyed everything we ordered (and we ordered almost all items on the menu!). If I had to pick two favorites, I would say the steak tartare (very different from any tartare I had) and the beef shank (very, very tasty and just right spicy). The service is also superb. I will come back!

As a Vietnamese person, I was looking forward to trying this place… I saw so many Instagram posts from my friends who came here and of the singer Thủy who also posted them on her story. We went on a Tuesday evening around 7pm with no reservations… Thankfully, we got a seat right away! The hostess was very warm and friendly. Her energy really made us feel welcome and at ease. The waiter was accommodating as well as efficient. We ordered the fried okra in a spicy mint sauce as our appetizer. It came quickly and was delectable! The perfect start to our meal! The sauce was tangy and slightly spicy which complemented the okra so well! For mains, we got the fried tofu on top of rice, unfortunately the only vegetarian main on the menu for now and the pork belly which is eaten rolled in lettuce with vermicelli and shredded pickled carrots. The portions were generous, enough for one person to feel full and satisfied at the end. Our meals did not disappoint! The dishes bursted with authentic Vietnamese flavours and they were also aesthetically presented! Bravo to the kitchen staff! We also shared a lychee drink which was sweet and refreshing! The vibes were also immaculate! Very modern and elegant! Tasteful music selection which was at a decent volume…. Great place to go with your date! ;)

Had 7 people. Paid about $65 per person. Food is pretty good. A fancy style viet restaurant which is a bit different from the typical pho noodle soup. They also have beer and sake cocktails which we did not try. Service is pretty fast and staff are friendly. The beef shank was $125 and feeds about 8 people. If you order that ask for it to come out first.

From the team behind the fantastic Madame Vo, Monsieur Vo is also a great spot for Vietnamese fusion. My friend and I walked in at 8:12 PM on a Thursday and got a table. We shared the com chien cua, BBH beef shank, and goi su hao. The beef shank was amazing, and also huge and $$$ (bring 5 friends if you're going to get that lol). No regrets though. Had leftovers for dayyyys. There was a long gap between our app and mains, but the food was overall great and I would return for the rice and other (non-beef shank) dishes. The goi su hao was also a standout.

Excellent addition to the "family". I have been to the sister restaurant, Madame Vo, and absolutely loved it, so I was excited to try Monsieur Vo. A couple of things were off, unfortunately: - The noise levels: depending on the parties, it can get VERY loud in here. After a couple large parties left, it got to medium level noise. But my Aunt, who has a hearing aid, found it very difficult to hear our conversation at the table, because her hearing aid was picking up all the ambient noise from other parties. - The service. Our main server was great, but then a different woman came to take our order, which I found strange. Our main server had great communication, but this woman took our order incorrectly. I ordered for the table and started by telling her, verbatim: "We'll have 2 courses, for the 1st course, we'll have xyz..., for the 2nd course, we'll have xyz..." All 5 dishes came out at the same time, which was disappointing. I understand there could be a language barrier at play here, but coursing is such a fundamental part of restaurant operations, especially in NYC. There was no reason they should have gotten this wrong. Now to the good parts: the FOOD! Oh wow, everything we had was phenomenal, except I do wish they had more gluten-free options, as I came with my cousin, who has Celiac Disease. - We ordered the Com Chien Cua, which we asked if the kitchen could make this gluten-free, since it was a rice-based dish. The server told us the only thing in the dish that contained gluten was the soy sauce, so we ordered it. I thought the kitchen might use a gluten-free soy sauce instead, but the dish came out with no soy sauce at all, which resulted in it lacking a bit of flavor. I asked if the kitchen has a gluten-free soy sauce, as most NYC restaurants do, and they said they did not have that, which was disappointing. I added some gravy from the Beef Shank, which helped give the rice more flavor. - The beef shank: wow what a phenomenal dish in terms of flavor and presentation. PLEASE NOTE a few things: this dish easily serves 4 people, the price is $125 (the menu says market price), which is INCREDIBLY expensive, given that it's the only gluten-free main dish on the menu. This is discrimination against those with Celiac Disease making them pay 5x the normal price of a main dish just because they have a disease. - The Monsieur Platter was also delicious and thankfully most items on the platter except one were gluten-free. We loved that it came with woven vermicelli on the side. The cocktails we got were great as well. Overall, I would say this restaurant is worth trying, although I don't know if I'll be back.

As fans of Madame Vo, we were excited to find out that they opened Monsieur Vo in the location that used to be Madame Vo BBQ restaurant. Monsieur Vo offers Vietnamese favorites, but overall, I found the cuisine leaning a bit more toward its French heritage. We started the dinner with their Banh Mi board, which included Le Fournil baguette, house pâté and garlic mayo, Vietnamese ham, pickled carrots, and cucumber, together with a nice bottle of Beaujolais. The board was appetizing, and the presentation was nicely done. Following that, we had the tamarind BBQ ribs, which consisted of 4 pieces of baby back ribs marinated with tamarind honey and kaffir lime leaf, served with cucumber and sesame seeds. The dish was flavorful, although we thought that we over-ordered since our main entree was the Monsieur platter. The platter came with short ribs, beef in betel leaves, lemongrass BBQ pork, sugar cane shrimp, served with woven vermicelli, roasted peanuts, lettuce, pickled carrots, herbs, and Goi Cuon (rice paper roll). We enjoyed the platter, as we had to fill and roll it ourselves with protein and veggies, and then dunk it with two different sauces. With awesome customer service, delicious food, and a reasonable price point, this place comes highly recommended.

I was invited here to celebrate my birthday and I was very intrigued by Monsieur Vo's unique dishes. I didn't realize that it was associated with Madame Vo, which seems to serve more fast casual food. We had a party of 6 and ordered 5 dishes to share. We got the bahn knot first and it was a perfect bite of shrimp and crispy pancake. We also got the monsieur platter, bbh beef shank, crab fried rice, and steamed fish. The monsieur platter was definitely the crowd favorite since it featured delicious samples of meats and veggies to fill in our own DIY spring roll. I just wished there was more of each meat for everyone to try everything. The crab fried rice was good but nothing to write home about. The steamed fish was also a bit underwhelming as the portion was quite small and lacked flavor. The beef shank was the last dish to arrive and was certainly a bit intimidating due to its size. The meat was falling off the bone and was super tender. Of course it was extremely heavy and we couldn't finish it all in one sitting but it was worth trying. Overall, I had a great meal here with my friends and would recommend it to all. One major turnoff here is the prices, which are pretty high.

Came here for the bone marrow and it did not disappoint. It's been a few months since I'd been here and I don't recall the service so it must have not been great or not been terrible. My seat was bench was shared next to this douche to my left who couldn't sit still in his seat. It messed with my vibe and I'm sure the person we shared the bench with to my right.

Overall 4.5/5 They def exceeded my expectations b/c I'm not like a crazy fan of madam vo. But everything we got here was very good Bone marrow app 4.5/5: not a lot but very tasty and goes very well with the baguette Monsieur platter 5/5: love love this even though I couldn't wrap properly until my 3rd try! It's a fun exp to wrap your own summer roll! Tamarind fried rice 4.5/5: this was very flavorful - slightly on the sweeter end but overall very delish Flan dessert 4/5: my friend really liked this but I thought it was slightly too sweet for me Would def come back to try others since they do have a seasonal menu!

I came on a Monday night and was able to get seating immediately without a reservation. The servers were friendly and fast. The prices were on the higher side so I would say this place is good for a special occasion. I loved the way the restaurant was decorated with the fun wallpaper and arched walkways. I ordered three dishes: * Roasted Bone Marrow - 9/10 - The bone marrow was so flavorful and fatty! I appreciate that they toasted the bread well, so it was extra crispy with the smooth marrow. * Monsieur Platter - 8/10 - The steak was my favorite meat and it was cooked rare with a green onion and cilantro sauce on top. The pork was my second favorite and it had a good umami taste too. The meatballs were a bit dry and the sugar cane shrimp was just ok. I liked the interactive aspect of this dish. It was nice to choose what to put in the rolls (putting the crab fried rice in the rolls was very good too) * Com Chien Cua - 8.5/10 - I liked the flavor of this fried rice, but I wish there was a bit more crab for the price of the dish. The runny egg yolk and spicy peppers were a nice touch to round out the dish.

A New York must try. Modern, thoughtful Vietnamese gastropub food from Chef Jimmy Ly and Yen Vo in the East Village. We enjoyed every bite. You must order the Beef Shank, Con Chien Cua, and the fried okra. They pair so great together. The crab rice was amazing and the okra was fried to perfection. I love that the okra didn't have any breading on it. The waiter was patient and helpful. The vibe was a mix crowd and the decor was fun. Grab a few friends and Go check this place out. What we ordered: Beef Shank Com Chien Cua Fried Okra Banh Flan Monsieur Vo 104 2nd Ave New York, NY 10003

- solid 7/10 for me - feel like you have to get the beef shank and it is a lot of food. MP was $125 for large but we got small (still over $100) for the 6 of us - drinks only $14 sake based which i love - red curry pretty good with taro pieces, had to order white rice - apps did come separately - crab fried rice solid

Very cozy vibes here. Moreso upscale vietnamese food. The beef shank was HUGE it was good, had all the bun bo hue taste all over it. We also enjoyed the at table rolls we made and ate

Contemporary Vietnamese cuisine has never backfired on me so I was pumped up and prepared to eat! For a large party of 13, we were given a minimum spending amount of $850. We were a little worried that we wouldn't meet the requirement, so we went ham on ordering. Everyone got at least one drink, with the group largely staying on the sober side that night. The non-alcoholic beverage section at some restaurants is sometimes non-existent or just three items long, but Monsieur Vo is not "some restaurants." I almost squealed when I discovered a few non-alcoholic bevs I wanted to try. My husband got one of them, of course. The housemade soda was available in two flavors: strawberry and passion fruit. He went with the strawberry, which turned out to be on the sour side but great fizz. I ordered the lychee iced tea and had no regrets because the lychee was slaying. Apps: BANH MI BOARD (Le Fournil baguette, house pâté & mayo, Vietnamese ham, pickled carrots, pickled cucumber) This was like a deconstructed banh mi and you had to put it together yourself, which looked pretty fun. My friend was closest to the board so she was on banh mi duty and made one for a couple of us. Personally, it didn't taste like the banh mis you would find at local Vietnamese sandwiches shops. It was giving elevated banh mi, and while it wasn't a bad thing, I would choose my local Viet sammiches over this any day. We ended up having more toppings than bread left over, so a few extra slices of bread would've been perfect. BANH KHOT *GF (Coconut-scallion mini pancake, mung bean, shrimp, fish sauce reduction, Petrossian caviar) I absolutely loved this but my wallet didn't. Sadly, it's three bite-sized pieces for $21. However, that one bite was delicious; everything came together really well. My favorite part was how the mini pancake looked like a cracker - pure genius. FRIED OKRA *V (Okra with spicy herb dressing) This was only $10 and came with a lot of pieces of okra. It might've been my first time trying okra and I liked it more than I thought I would... mainly because I'm not the biggest fan of vegetables. The dressing is to thank for because it made the okra soo addicting. ROASTED BONE MARROW (Tamarind glaze, Le Fournil baguette) I don't have much to say about this since I didn't try it except that this came with five slices of bread, which was 1-2 too many considering how small the bone marrow was! GOI GA *GF (Grilled lemongrass chicken, banana blossom, red cabbage, ginger-fish sauce dressing, roasted peanuts) This dish surprised me a lot! It reminded me of homecooked steamed fish that's been doused with ginger slices and soy sauce, and that's probably because of the ginger-fish sauce dressing that was used. Even the red cabbage was yummy by itself because of the dressing. I liked this dish but not sure if I would order it a second time. I'd give it a 8/10. Mains: PHO GA KHO *GF (Dry pho noodles, chicken thigh, liver, gizzard, fried chicken skin, herb salad) It was my first time trying dry pho noodles. I'd say that it had the flavor profile of soupy pho noodles, but my brain couldn't comprehend that it didn't come with broth, so my vote goes to the usual pho served with broth. COM CHIEN CUA (Tamarind fried rice, lump crab, runny yolk, rau ram) The yolk was confirmed runny! You'd be surprised at how many restaurants advertise runny yolk but don't actually deliver. I was also quite satisfied with the small pieces of crab meat sprinkled in this dish. It reminded me of the fried rice that you could find at Chinese dim sum restaurants. 10/10 would get again! MONSIEUR PLATTER (Comes with short rib, beef in betel leaf, lemongrass BBQ pork, sugar cane shrimp. Served with woven vermicelli, roasted peanuts, lettuce, pickled carrots and herbs) This was the only letdown of the night. It was basically a deconstructed summer roll with all the ingredients laid out on a board. The rice paper came in a fancy vessel for you to dip in water so that it softens up before you top it with your choice of protein and other toppings. It came with two different dipping sauces, which was appreciated. There was too little rice paper provided for the amount of toppings given, but we just used the lettuce for wrapping when we ran out of rice paper. The rolls were pretty bland without the sauces. I wouldn't get this again. 5/10 TAMARIND BBQ RIBS (4 baby back ribs, tamarind honey, kaffir lime leaf, sesame seeds, pickled cucumber) I wasn't expecting much of the ribs, but sheeesh! they packed quite the flavor. The ribs were pretty big too. I'd love to have it again. BO LUC LAC Presentation was just ok but it tasted delicious, especially when eaten with the veggies and tomatoes. There weren't enough tomatoes though! I never had this dish before so I want to try this at a local Vietnamese eatery now. The menu had a lot of vegan/ gluten-free dishes, yet my taste buds didn't even realize that most of them were gluten-free! Note: $3 cake cutting fee pp

Was pleasantly surprised by Monsieur Vo. A modern take on Vietnamese food. Usually not a big fan of these since most places border on inauthentic and meh with flavors lacking, but Monsieur Vo was the total opposite. Servings were super generous especially for the price. What we got: 1. Fried okra: crispy, fried with that fish sauce on top- yums. Good app if you want something super umami and greasy (but not too greasy). Also if you're a fan of brussel sprouts, this would be your jam 2. Chicken salad thing: omg I loved this dish. Lots of chicken to get that protein in. Fresh salad. Great starter. 3. Dry pho: this was also pho-nomenal. Rice noodles with a light sauce that really tastes and reminds you of pho. Lots of greens and herbs on top. So good! 4. Ribs: meat was tender. Yum. Ribs are usually good if cooked well and this was no exception. Overall, would defo come back here to try out more food - especially their larger form mains like the beef and the platters. If you want something different from the standard Vietnamese and a nice ambience, this place is worth checking out imo. Service was great too.

This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant that is flavorful and intimate so it's perfect to go to for a special occasion or a date night. The staff were all really helpful in explaining the dishes. We really enjoyed the okra - it was a nice texture and lots of different flavors. The mixed platter with the rice roll paper was perfect to try a little of everything. The only thing I would skip is the dessert- it wasn't balanced with the boba and it was way too sweet. Looking forward to coming back with enough people to try the shank.

If you're looking for an intimate dining experience with a Vietnamese twist, Monsieur Vo in the East Village is the place to go. With its darker setting and cozy atmosphere, it's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a date night or a special celebration. Especially with the attentive staff that even taught us how each dish was meant to be eaten. Start your meal with the Vietnamese-style oysters--they're a must-try. The peanut topping adds a perfect crunch and flavor that will leave you wanting more. The bánh bèo was also a pleasant surprise, served as one big piece instead of the usual plate of small ones, but still delicious. We also had the quail legs which sounds weird but a tasty Vietnamese delicacy. It's just like frog legs. If you never had frog legs it's just like chicken. The Bo Ne platter is a fun and interactive experience, where you get to roll your own bites with rice paper. The dip sauce that comes with it is amazing and ties everything together perfectly. Finish off your meal with the brûlée flan for a sweet ending. Monsieur Vo is a bit pricier than your typical Vietnamese spot, but the unique flavors and intimate setting make it well worth the splurge.

The decor in this restaurant is beautiful. Graceful semi-circle archways frame floral papered walls and delicately glowing lamps. The menu is not the most vegetarian-friendly. There were a couple of veggie appetizers and just one option for the main course. To start, we shared the canh chua salad. It was light but tasty. I was a little hesitant about the grilled pineapple, but it was actually delicious with a nice, hearty texture. I really enjoyed the dressing and wish I could've soaked up more of it. For my entree, I had the tofu luc lac. This dish is typically made with beef so be sure to specify when ordering to avoid a surprise. I loved the sauce. It was sweet and rich and felt like an indulgence when paired with the rice. The tofu was crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. Very satisfying. Servers were notably attentive with refilling our water glasses. They have some very pricey items on the menu including the beef shank and sea bass which were market priced so the prices were not printed. Overall, it was a good meal!

Solid upscale Vietnamese place in the East Village. We ordered the Goi Su Hao, which was nice and refreshing, along with the Monsieur Platter (with came with a side of rice paper so you make your own rolls) and the Com Chien Cua (tamarind fried rice). The flavors all around were great but the prices were definitely a bit up there. We were only a party of two so we didn't get the beef shank - I know it's a popular dish so might have to come back and try it later!

My partner and I had such a delicious meal here. Monsier Vo has been on our radar for a couple months now, so we were very pleased when it worked out that we could go. We made a same day reservation on a Sunday for fairly early, and when we arrived, most tables were already filled! We opted to split a bunch of appetizers, my favorite likely being the banh mi board. Their house made pate and mayo were both so rich and divine, paired really well with the meat and pickled veggies. It was also such a fun experience building ourselves! Tartare and bone marrow were also really delicious. I would recommend really any of the dishes we got! Other menu items that came out of the kitchen looked divine as well. I have a feeling you can't go wrong here, between the yummy food and friendly/quick service!

- came here specifically for the beef shank and it did not disappoint (it's enough for 4 people easily, especially if you plan on ordering other items) - the staff was kind and patient with my questions - ordered a side of rice (feel like it should come with it but that's neither here nor there) - was going to order the bone marrow app but assumed there would be some within the giant bone (I was wrong and disappointed, the bone is cleaned out of marrow before it gets to you) - had enough leftovers for both of us to have lunch the next day - tender, fatty, highly recommend - it's pricey for a single item but not when you figure how many meals you'll get out of it/or split between dinner companions - would return to try other items (tho I would also order the shank again), the fried fish at the table over looked tasty as well

The interior is just as delicious as the food. The decor and ambiance is snazzy and upscale. For dinner there was a bit of mood lighting. There's a bar you can sit at too. The staff was friendly and service was speedy. The fried fish was good but the best part of this dish was the DIY spring rolls with the noodles + veggie dish. You can ask for more wrappers and veggies too. The bone marrow app was very fatty but good flavor. The okra was really good for a vegetable side option. The crispy rice dish was also delicious.

Decent but severely overpriced for the quality of the food. Banh khot was okay, overfried and lacking flavor. The dry chicken pho was okay but tasted like pad thai. Scorched rice was nice and crispy, but lacked brightness. Ribs flavor was good but not as tender as expected. Only the drinks were pretty good and nothing to complain about there. For $120 bill for 2 people before tip, would've expected a more phenomenal meal. Overall wouldn't recommend for the pricepoint.

Great Vietnamese restaurant with wonderful service and decor. The ribeye beef tartar was so tender and flavorful and the roasted okra was dressed perfectly with a nice blend of spice and acid in the dressing. The crab fried rice was loaded with crab meat. Mixed platter was fun to put together table side making your own rolls.

Overall rating: 4.8 I've been wanting to go here for awhile & wow, it was worth it! After being served a few TikToks, I knew I wanted to try this place. I made a reservation, but don't think it was necessary based on the amount of people that was there during opening time. I've been there twice and got the following items: - fried okra: 5/5 -- sooo good. Very flavorful! - I also got a salad, but can't find it on the menu anymore - stand by me cocktail: 4/5 -- very sweet, but good - roasted bone marrow: 4/5 -- good, but so small portion. Not worth the price in my opinion - crispy five spice quail: 3/5 -- so hard to eat, I thought it was good but eh idk. Seems like a lot of work for something so little. - pho gha ko: 5/5 -- so tasteful!! Mouthwatering. - com chay: 4.5/5 -- if you're concerned about the anchovies don't worry. The sausage overtakes the taste. Pretty good, but I prefer the noodles. - beef shank: 5/5 -- when I went last summer, the price was around ~$95 at market price. Now it's $165! What a jump! I thought it was good but the quantity is for a minimum of 4x people, def not 2x. I would order it again but only this. I'd come back on a paycheck day or if I have friends in town & want to show off. It's a very cute spot & definitely recommend!

Visited on a Friday night with a friend and definitely glad we made reservations as the place was pretty much full when we got there. The ambiance and interior was quite nice. Our server was knowledgable and patient with us as we couldn't decide on what to order for a while. My friend and I basically split everything we ordered. To start, we each got a drink off of their cocktail menu. Their cocktails were unique and had a lot of different flavors mixed into them. Not too strong and not too sweet. Then the banh khot and beef tartare came out. Before we even ate here, I already knew I wanted to try their banh khot because they are not offered everywhere. Monsieur Vo's version did not disappoint; it was small but it was so flavorful. The beef tartare was delicious and fresh. I really liked the pairing of the rice sesame crisps with the tartare; it had a nice mix of textures. For our main, we went for the Monsieur Platter. It was basically a DIY spread where you can make your own rolls with the different meats, vermicelli, and veggies. I will say, it is pretty expensive for what it was, but it was still a fun experience. To be honest, when I sat down and heard the price of some of the market price items, I was really shocked. However, I do believe that you get the quality that you're paying for. Although Monsieur Vo is on the more expensive side, I think it is still worth a visit as they serve quality Vietnamese dishes that you may not see at every Viet spot in NYC.

Monsieur Vo is the second restaurant opened by the husband-wife duo behind Madame Vo, and they specialize in street food and large meat and seafood dishes. Here's what we ordered: - Banh Khot (8/10): These savory mini pancakes were fried to perfection and a crunchy and delicious start to the meal. This was my first time trying banh khot and i'm definitely a fan! The caviar didn't add much to the flavor, so would probably recommend getting these elsewhere for a cheaper price (though the presentation was pretty!!) - Tamarind BBQ Ribs (6/10): Good flavor but could be more tender/fall off the bone. I'm not the biggest fan of ribs as they can be tough to eat, but would still recommend as a nice shareable dish. - Com Chien Kua (Crab Fried Rice) (9/10): I've never gotten crab fried rice at a vietnamese restaurant, but this was so yummy & aesthetic. Something about a good restaurant fried rice always hits different, and this was a savory burst of flavor with each bit. More crab would have been appreciated, but I liked that they added an egg yolk for a more creamy flavor. The ambiance and service of the restaurant was great, though the music can get a bit loud. We unfortunately did not try the popular BBH Beef Shank as it seemed way too large for two people to share, but would highly recommend ordering it if you come with a group!

Madame Vo's brother restaurant, so we decided to check it out. Solid experience here! Canh chua salad - Ordered this to get some freshness and veggies in. The pineapples were juicy and added a nice sweetness to the dish, although I do feel that the sauce could've been a bit more flavorful Bone marrow - Highly recommend this item. The bone marrow is so flavorful and tender, and it comes with crispy baguette slices that can soak up all that flavor! Monsieur Vo platter - Fun item that comes with a variety of proteins, pickled carrots, rice noodles, and lettuce so you can make your own spring rolls! The shrimp and short rib were my favorite items. The shrimp had the texture of a light fish ball and was very flavorful. The short rib was tender and sweet. The beef in betel leaf wasn't my favorite--it tasted a bit bitter and dry to me.

Had a weekend dinner reservation for two. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and found it to be unique and super flavorful. I will definitely be back! My only regret is not coming with more people so that I could order more. Ambiance / Service: beautifully designed restaurant. It's trendy, playing hip hop music, but you can dress as casual as you want. The place is pretty spacious and would be good for larger groups. There was a group of 10 celebrating a birthday. Service was good! Food / Drink: the food was sooo good. There was only one dish I didn't love. You can come with 2 people, but would recommend 4 people if you want to the beef shank. I ordered the below for 2 and it was too much: -Lychee Iced Tea: nonalcoholic. Really liked this! Very refreshing and not too sweet. It also tastes fresh and not artificial. -Canh Chua Salad: I didn't love this and wouldn't order again. It was very fresh, but it didn't have much flavor. All I tasted was tomatoes. -Com Chay: so good. Recommend! Perfectly crispy rice. Goes well with the beef shank. -Monsieur Platter: loved this. You can definitely share amongst 3-4 people. It's unique and a great sampling. -Beef Shank: I couldn't come and not get this. Honestly, this could feed 5-6 people easily. Some reviews say it's lacking in flavor - my experience was the opposite. Sooo flavorfu!! The key is to eat the meat WITH the bun bo hue sauce. There is also a nice layer of intense seasoning on some of the pieces. Mix it all together! If you eat the meat without the seasoning and without the sauce, then yes, it is a bit bland. But mixed together it's delicious and soooo tender.

Definitely a place to come with a group. We had fun trying lots of different dishes. My favorites were the banh khot, beef shank, and thit heo quay - definitely get these! I don't think the sea bass was worth it, and the crab fried rice was too salty for me

The service people are kind and attentive. Communication was clear. The place is comfy and cozy but not cramped which is very important. The food is fantastic. It looks good, tastes better. Drinks are okay, lychee lover is the only one that'll make you come back for seconds. You need to try everything at least once but make sure your wallet can handle it!

One of the best Vietnamese spots in nyc. The beef shank is an absolute must. It was cooked to perfection. We also got the tamarind fried rice which was the one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever had. Service was quick and efficient and the space itself looked both date and group friendly.

I'm Vietnamese and have been spoiled with amazing Vietnamese food growing up in San Jose, CA. I have been on the search for good Viet food in NY since moving here 1.5 years ago and have been hearing a lot bout Monsieur Vo so finally decided to try it out. Came here on a Sunday around 6pm without reservation and there were only bar seats available so bf and I went for that. Ambiance is upscale but not dressy. Could be a cute date night spot, solo date, night out with friends or a group. Could dress up or casual. We were pretty casual. Ordered the bánh khọt and Monsieur platter and everything was pretty good. I didn't realize the bánh khọt was $21 because I got excited and just ordered without looking at the price since I haven't had bánh khọt in forever. I realized it's pricey for 3 pieces because it is topped with caviar. The menu said the Monsieur platter comes with short rib, beef in betel leaf, BBQ pork, and sugarcane shrimp but only the BBQ pork (nem nuong) looked familiar to me. I think in my picture, the bottom left is supposed to be the beef in betel leaf because it tasted like it but it didn't look like it. It looks like a meatball but it's normally more sausage shaped and actually wrapped in betel leaf. I think the meat at the top is supposed to be the sugarcane shrimp because it tasted like it too but it's normally presented as a shrimp paste wrapped around an actual piece of sugarcane. The woven vermicelli was good and so were the pickled carrots. It comes with anchovy sauce and fish sauce - the anchovy one was really good. Bf and I cleaned that one. Comes with rice paper and our server was so nice - he saw we ran out but still had a bit of meat left and asked us if we wanted more rice paper (and gave us the right amount to finish it). Overall everything tasted very good. I was impressed since I'm picky with my Vietnamese food. Everything's on the pricier ended but it's a more upscale restaurant. And it's NYC. Presentation is unique - nontraditional but not a bad thing. I think it's nice their presentation is out of the box. I would def come back with friends if I wanted more upscale Viet food.

While Yelping, a random pop up from Monsieur Vo showed up on my app. And I thought, "Could it be??? Another resto from the masterminds of Madame Vo?!" And to my delight, hell yeah it was. So obvi, I had to make ressies here. Since my friend had to cancel NYE plans, I booked a table ASAP at Monsieur Vo. And ladies & gents, the dream team behind Monsieur Vo did not disappoint. 5/5 for all the food. Order the fried okra with a bit of tang. Order the roasted bone marrow dripping with seasoned gold. Order the Com Chien Cua with generous servings of lump crab & a perfectly runny egg to top it off. Order the Monsieur platter full of barbecue goodness, including a ginormous fish all, steak , lemongrass BBQ pork & sausage. And lastly, order the banh flan for a rich, beautiful brown sugar boba in flan form. ORDER IT ALL! Y'all won't be disappointed! Perfect for those date nights, small group celebrations & intimate gathers. 5/5 for amazing food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for epic decor. And I have to say, Monsieur Vo makes my top 5 Viet restos in NYC!

Great restaurant with nice ambiance. Feels like a fusion-y version of Vietnamese cuisine, but of course at an elevated cost. We got the beef tartare, the monsieur platter, and the com chien cua. The beef tartare was super flavorful. Wish it came with more chips. The monsieur platter was solid, but nothing too special. Some of the meat options were better than others. It was nice to wrap our own spring rolls, but this was certainly a dish that would be better and cheaper at a traditional Vietnamese restaurant, but those may be harder to find in NY. The com chien cua (fried rice) was a nice surprise! Really delicious.

Three of us had a reservation so it was easy to seat. The ambiance was kinda date night kinda fancy and the price does reflect that. Our servers were very friendly and attentive. The Banh mi board is a MUST have. Their pate spread was great. Also deserving a mention is the bonemarrow. For these two dishes you can ask for more bread! You might need it :) Salad and fried rice were good too, nice mix of r flavours and textures. The beef shank set us back $125 and it was A LOT of food. Honestly though, the ratio of dry meat to juicer fatty parts was very high so we needed to use the sauce and that itself needed more rice to get through. I probably won't order this again, simply too much mass and over half of it was dry/stringy. Go for some of the other dishes. Great time here nonetheless!

Delicious, and overwhelmingly so. At a friend's suggestion, four of us were able to sample some of the most popular items - fish ($95), combination platter, ribs (full of flavors), and crispy rice. The Okra appetizer is the underachiever item - if you've never tried it or if you had okra but not a fan, this item will change your mind. It's slightly crispy, tangy, sweet and spicy. Unlike the Okra, the shrimp caviar is the overachiever - looks great and pricy ($21 for 3 shrimps). I'd skip this and save my appetite for the house combination platter. Highly recommend for group of 4 or more, and it's strong flavors meant to share dishes with friends and family. Overindulged so we almost had to find a desert place nearby to complete our evening. Monsieur Vo is tastefully decorated inside, although it's small but the well designed seating makes this place look spacious.

Monsieur Vo is a luxury take on Vietnamese food and its fantastic. The cocktails are great and the food even better. We ordered: Bahn mi board Bas grilled shrimp Roasted bone marrow Beef tartare COM CHIEN CUA MONSIEUR PLATTER BBH BEEF SHANK Out of everything i think the beef shank could have used a tiny bit more flavor for the $125 price tag but otherwise everything was amazing.

Salted limeade is delightful and surprising. Highly suggest if you love sweet and savory. The ambiance is warm and cool at the same time. Server asked me for my drink order within 3 minutes of me being seated. Food, food, glorious food! Order the okra! It is expertly fried with no batter and paired with a perfectly spiced vinaigrette. Inhaled it! And the mini pancakes topped with shrimp and caviar were so savory and delicious. Also a must try! Now for the entrees. We went for the Monsieur Plate, which is a selection of differently prepared and well seasoned proteins, with complimenting veggies, to be wrapped in rice paper, which you prepare by soaking in warm water at the table. The presentation is beautiful, but a few of the proteins (mainly the steak and shrimp croquette) left a bit to be desired. We also had the lump crab rice (I wish I remembered the name of the dish), and while I thought the flavor profile was nice (minus the bitterness of the basil), it wasn't as warm as I would have liked and the rice was al dente (which I believe was purposeful). All and all, it was a good dining experience and I'll definitely return, if only for the okra, mini pancakes, and to try another entree.

This new sister restaurant of Madame Vo has opened a few blocks down in the East Village. One of us had gone to a pop up event before, which put this on our radar. It wasn't super busy when we came at around 6-6:30 for our dinner for five. The place was spacious and I appreciated that they spaced out the tables. I also liked that it wasn't too dark and that it was quiet enough for us to hear each other! The cocktails were sake based and they also had wine and beers. For the apps, we got the following: 1) bahn mi bread spread: the concept was cute but we would've preferred just eating an actual bahn mi sandwich 2) bone marrow: not bad! But also nothing super special. I felt like it tasted predominantly of fat. 3) chicken salad: this was very good! 4) beef tartare: also very good and came with interesting chips. For the entrees: 1) dry pho noodles: the noodles felt like it needed to be cooked for a little longer. This wasn't really anything special. Wouldn't get again. 2) tamarind fried rice: the taste was there but it was off putting how wet the rice was. 3) ribs: not bad! I think there was room for improvement but everything was either very good or has potential to be even better! Overall, it was a 3.5/5 experience for sure.

Very cool spot! Great for family style meals. There wasn't a very large selection of food to choose from, but it was delicious. The thit heo quay was my favorite!

It was my friend's birthday and she wanted to come here and celebrate. The vibe and decor was beautifully decorated and the energy was relaxing but buzzing. Immediately we were seated and I like that they did not rush us to order nor rush us to leave when we were done dinning. They let us sit around to catch up. Majority of us ended up ordering the vietnamese coffee and it was good. Though I wish they didn't fill it up with so much ice because I felt like I barely got to enjoy the coffee. As for dinner we did family style and ordered their signature beef shank, ribs and grill platter. The shank definitely delivered but I didn't like that it offered no side to go along with the dish, except or a small plate of silvered cabbage. With that in mind, I felt like I was eating pure meat and after eating too much it felt overwhelming. As for the grilled platter, I hate to say I had better. Sure they used better cuts but at the end of the day, it's all about taste and their shrimp roll was way too starchy and the meat was a bit tough. As for the ribs, it was just more meat with no sides so that was very unattractive. Also there was a $5 surcharge per person if you bring your own cake.

Excellent sister restaurant to Madame Vo for meat heavy dishes. I came with just one friend and opted out of the volcanic beef shank dish that we came for because we saw the table next to us get it, and it was way too much for just 2 people. We did order a bunch of other dishes and they were all amazing, see photos below! The only thing is the price was quite high, as our bill for 2 came out to be over $200 without drinks. Next time, I'd want to come with at least 6 people to try the volcano beef shank!

Great service, and love the aesthetics of the restaurant. Food and drinks came out on time, did not feel like I was waiting for long. I came in a group of 6 and ordered the below (which I would also recommend): - báhn khot - bone marrow - monsieur platter - lychee iced tea - vietnamese iced coffee - cocktails (unfortunately don't remember the name)

I just gotta say wow. Ambience, service, and food 10/10 in my book. Chicken salad (Goi Ga): Very balanced in flavor and I loved that the crispy parts stayed crispy even with the amount of dressing poured over. The dressing was also not overpowering which I find to be hard to master with these kinds of salads that include vinegar and fish sauce. It was the perfect balance for the beef shank. Beef shank: - Absolutely worth the price tag. It's listed at market price, so it fluctuates. I believe we paid roughly $115ish including tax for it. But trust me when I say this thing could feed 4 people easily. The waiter was impressed and mentioned how most parties of two couldn't eat as much of it as we did - Fall off the bone HEAVEN. I mean I would barely touch the meat with my chopsticks and it'd just melt away from the bone on its own. So unbelievably tender and juicy and the (Bun Bo Hue) sauce had just the right amount of that tangy, sweet and spicy profile. Beautiful execution Drinks : Both cocktails were very well crafted with harmonizing ingredients to balance out the bitterness of the alcohol Ambience: Targeted toward the younger adult crowd, so a healthy of amount of contemporary pop/rnb music played. We were seated immediately, no reservation on a Friday night. Most of the restaurant is dim, medium volume levels, pretty chill. (Bf provided light for the photos) Service: Amazing service and a good amount of staff. We had forgotten to mention a peanut allergy to our waiter and had to flag down another. She was very understanding and quickly ran back to the kitchen to make them aware of the situation. They had apologized even though it was not their fault to begin with. Super friendly

Having been to madame vo ages ago, I was very excited to pay the sister restaurant a visit! It is definitely a more modernized Vietnamese restaurant, a great choice if you're looking for a dinner spot with a group of friends. For the food, we got the monsieur platter (my fav!), the bone marrow appetizer, crab fried rice and the huge beef shank. I really enjoyed the platter because of the rice paper wraps provided - you get a different party of flavors in your mouth each time! Being a infrequent bone marrow eater, I also enjoyed that appetizer. I would only recommend the beef shank if you come with 5+ people. As a group of 4, we were really forcing ourselves to finish it towards the end because the taste is pretty repetitive. Drinks were also delish! Will probably be back to try the pho next time.

A friend sent me an Instagram video of Monsieur Vo and we both immediately knew we had to go. We originally had reservations for a Friday, but had to cancel due to the fact that we discovered our plans would run over into the reservation. We moved it to the following Thursday for 6pm. I actually messed up and made a reservation for a party of 2 instead of a party of 4. They were so nice about it and moved some tables around to make it work for us. I appreciated that so much and they were so sweet despite my embarrassment. To start, we split the fried okra, on recommendation from our waitress. She was so great and really took the time to walk us through the menu and give us her top picks. The fried okra was bomb and we loved the sauce that came with it. Of course, we had the BBH Beef Shank - Braised then grilled whole beef shank, bone marrow gravy, and Bun Bo Hue sauce. It's market price and I think we paid $125 that day. The meat was SO tender and moist. You didn't even need the knife that they gave you, everything fell apart with just the fork. It was so flavorful and it's truly a huge portion. It comfortably fed the four of us and we had leftovers too. We also had the Com Chien Cua - Tamarind fried rice, lump crab, runny yolk, and rau ram. This was SO GOOD. I think I actually liked this more than the giant meat bone. It had just the right amount of acidity. I would gladly eat this over and over. We were too full for dessert, so I can't comment on that. But everything was so, so good. Service was fantastic and I cannot recommend them more.

Monsieur Vo serves up some tasty modern takes on Vietnamese food, and definitely makes for a great and trendy dinner spot with friends. Came here with a group of 4 over the summer, and was delighted by some of the menu options. Highly recommend the roasted bone marrow, monsieur platter, and the com chien cua (crab fried rice). The roasted bone marrow was buttery smooth and delicious (as expected), and serves as a luxurious appetizer. Monsieur platter is a must in my opinion, and provides an interactive dining experience where your party can create their own rolls. There's a generous portion of meats and veggies, and 1 platter was enough for us. The crab fried rice was also really tasty and well balanced, with the egg yolk providing that perfect unctuousness to the rice. Crab meat was also generous throughout the dish. Lychee iced tea here was by far one of my favorite drinks this summer - super refreshing and not too sweet. BBH Beef Shank was really the only thing that I kind of regret getting. The BBH flavor is evident, and the shank does provide that shock value. However, the meat very quickly gets to be monotonous and heavy, and I was constantly searching for some type of acidity to brighten it up or change the flavors. The slaw and lime helped a little, but it was really just too much after a few bites. A bit on the pricier end for vietnamese food, but worth giving it a try!

Incredible. We missed out on the beef shank, it being a limited dish. However, we opted for the crab fried rice and the bo luc lac (cubed fried rib eye pieces), and let me tell you, we absolutely loved our choices! The fried rice is just excellent, with the runny egg providing moisture perfectly. The portion sizes are generous too, and it's all well-priced. The Bo Luc Lac is a winner, as well. Just amazing, and being a huge watercress person, I was bound to love the garnish on this one. The ambience is casual, yet trendy. The decor is pretty cool, and the service is excellent. I was surprised by how fast our food arrived, especially given the quality.

First time going to a Vietnamese restaurant without ordering the stereotypical pho. Came to Monsieur Vo for an early birthday dinner celebration , and found out it is actually the sister restaurant of Madame Vo. My friend and I opted for the crab fried rice and the platter which both were surprisingly delicious. My favorite out of the two would have to be the crab fried rice though. The service was great and the staff ensured my water was never empty. Overall, I would recommend Monsieur Vo if you are craving some unique Vietnamese dishes other than pho!

The food is good . Love the soup ( just hope it serves hot not room temp) Bone marrow is on point. The table is a bit too small . The seat is okay . Staff is very nice. Great for groups not really for couple or kids .

A good meal but I definitely felt cheated. Everything we ate was cooked well and very flavorful but the pricing was way off what I would consider fair for some dishes. This coming from someone willing to spend upwards of $400 per person on dining. The menu is also very limited. Banh Khot - donned petrossian caviar but it was hardly enough for you to even taste it. The mini pancake was fried with filled with a bean curd that made it oily and relatively tasteless besides a bit of sweetness. The dish needed some acid or a better portion of caviar to balance the bite. Monsieur Plattter - honestly crying now that actually realized I paid $50 for what was essentially a build your own roll. The server said it was enough for two but I beg to differ. Unless the two were middle school children. The price was hardly justifiable both considering the portion and the quality, it wasn't waygu beef. Also the fact I had to put the dish together myself. $30 max would've been more appropriate. In fact, this alone has turned me off from returning here. Although the food tasted great. Tamarind BBQ Ribs - very delicious but too much aromatics on top. The food tasted like perfume. After we scrapped it off, the bite was perfect. The meat was tender but still had a chew to it. Just as I prefer to eat ribs. Com Chien Cua - came out fresh and hot. The rice was cooked very well. It was my favorite thing we ordered for the night. Service was great. The food came out timely, dishes were described in depth and the servers were very friendly.
