The place is pretty small and dark. They also charge for additional condiments/sauce (if you order lime, chili, etc for $0.5 each!!) Food rating: 1. Beef pho - 3.5/5 soup was good, portion was decent, meat was very hard to chew 2. Shrimp vermicelli - 4/5 great shrimp! The shrimp was cooked in a way that it absorbed the sauce to its core!Highly recommend ordering this one. 3. Papaya salad - 3/5 4. Softshell crab salad - 3.5/5

One of the best pho places I have ever been to. I always go for the classic beef for soup. The flavor is amazing. And the meat is very tender. I wish they had more noodles in the soup for the price, but the portion is enough for most people.

Shout out to Raul! I am an old fan since 2018. Always recommend this place to my UN colleagues and they love it! It small but delicate and decent. Special shout out to the cute waiter Raul! He is super friendly, helpful and passionate ~ Raul knows well about this restaurant and introduce us about the 26hrs- broth. We really enjoyed our stay here and felt welcomed with Raul’s friendly service ❤️ Will comeback for Raul and the food 😂

Came here for dinner. A bit far out of my usual path when in Manhattan so location is sort of a con but wanted to try since the chicken pho is being raved about. We tried almost everything on the dinner menu. Chicken pho was great. Usually at other places it's very bland as it's a Caucasian option mostly to appease blander palates but theirs is very flavorful. Beef pho is not too bad either. The rolls are delicious. Very small inside so come early if you want to try with a big group. Prices are a little higher than Chinatown but the food isn't watered down. Service is great and attentive. My only complaint is we came on their first dinner opening night and at 5:30 when they opened up but they were out of a lot of things on the menu like the tomahawk steak which we were looking forward to and the balut. Hopefully we can try again and come back although it being a little out of the way.

Went with a group of friends to this spot , my first time trying Vietnamese cuisine . It’s a small spot in Murray Hill , but they were able to cater a group of 8. From the sign outside they claim to have the best PHO, and it actually was really good . We good few appetizers and also decided to try their Special Tomahawk. That’s what I was really excited for. It was actually cooked to perfection and was paired with bore marrow. Overall the food was great . It was a great experience!! Ambiance- 8/10 WiFi - Not Sure Service - 10/10 Reservation- Yes Large Parties - Call to Ask Parking - Good Luck

Nice little pho spot on the East Side. I had the pork summer rolls and chicken pho, their specialty. The rolls were fresh and flavorful. The pho had nice pieces of chicken and an egg yolk on top which added some nice richness. I did find the condiments a little lacking - where are the chopped chiles and culantro? Overall decent though if you’re in the neighborhood.

Hidden Gem! don’t be fooled by the exterior front. It’s very tastefully designed inside. Cozy intimate sitting area. We ordered like 7 different dishes and we cannot fault any single one. That banh mi on the special menu is a must must order! For vegans, the beets mango summer rolls are simply refreshing and packed with freshness! Cherry on the top, Elizabeth, the waitress was such a delight! She was so appreciative and happy we were there even though we came an hour before closing. Smiles and such positivity! She deserve an award!

I came here in Dec 2020 when restaurants were limited and we had the entire place to ourselves. So obviously service was on point 😁. Very delicious Pho especially the bone barrow option. All appetizers we had were also great. No complaints here.
