"At Nhà Minh in Ridgewood, you can sit down with your laptop, bang out a few hours of work fueled by excellent Vietnamese iced coffee and pandan snickerdoodles, and leave with a painting from the wall (they’re all made by local artists). You might also see one of the owners' kids making use of a new pack of crayons while hanging out in this sweet, calming space. photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute When you need some food, get a classic bánh mi, loaded with cold cuts on a Grimaldi baguette. We prefer these to the rice bowls, which need a big squirt of tomato-fish sauce vinaigrette, or the breakfast sandwich, with eggs that are a bit too salty with Maggi and fish sauce. Nhà Minh is open nearly all day, which is useful if you live in the area. They also regularly host events, like mahjong parties, with neighboring concert hall Trans-Pecos. Food Rundown Classic Bánh Mì A well-constructed, crusty sandwich with pickled carrots and daikon, and herbs. If you’re here around lunchtime, it’s worth an order. Dollop on some pickled chiles to cut the fattiness from the cold cuts. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Will Hartman
"Nha Minh is located on an out-of-the-way section of Morgan Ave but worth the walk. It's a come as you are hang-out with a colorful mural, hopping exposed kitchen, and mini-mezzanine big enough for a couple two-tops. Order at the counter and take a seat, maybe grab a magazine to read while you wait or check out their condiments table with all variety of sauces. It's a chill spot to bring your friends and one of those places where you feel like your eating something authentic yet unconventional, and always delicious." - Radish Lab
"Just over the border from Bushwick (the dividing line runs down the middle of Wyckoff at this point), Nhà Mình is one of the city’s most unique Vietnamese restaurants, located inside the music venue Trans Pecos. At heart it’s a coffee shop and all-day breakfast spot, serving bowls and egg banh mi. As of late, it has evolved into a full-menu Vietnamese restaurant, despite its small size, turning out pho, bun, and the like, with a list of banh mi unique in its range." - Andrew Karpan
"Vietnam has a big coffee culture, so it comes as no surprise that a Vietnamese coffee shop has appeared in Bushwick that sells American and Vietnamese versions of the caffeinated beverage. Nha Minh is located in the front of music club Trans-Pecos, and also sells banh mi, rice-noodle bun, and breakfast rice bowls; many are vegetarian and inspired by Central Vietnamese Buddhist Vietnamese cooking, via chef and owner Fred Hua." - Bao Ong
"Opened to fill a long-empty niche for Vietnamese breakfast in the city, Nha Minh (in the front section of Trans-Pecos) is open at 8 a.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends and offers egg-forward items like an egg-bearing banh mi and a sunnyside trio (one duck, one chicken, one quail) served with Maggi. Best of all is their banh xeo rice crepe ($8), which swaps the usual sprouts and shrimp for egg and bacon and comes with long lettuce leaves, fresh herbs for wrapping, and an orange dipping sauce that brings a bit of heat." - Eater Staff
