Tènten

One of the few places that have good pho in NYC! The meat is tender, the broth is well-seasoned. They use the correct noodles, and although it is not over-cooked texture-wise, the noodles are broken into small pieces, which I don't like. I don't really like the áp chảo phở since the soy sauce overwhelms other flavors. The restaurant is quite small.

Cute place, simple menu, I was in a rush so I only got the bowl of pho. I got #2 which was delicious and had fun textures. Broth is clear, and flavorful. I love the onions and green onions in there. The vinegar condiment was 🔥. I’ll come back next time because I def want to try the other offerings and the drinks!

I visited around 2 PM on a weekend, excited for two bowls of pho, but the experience fell short. We ordered two bowls of pho, two poached eggs, and one fried dough. Despite clearly requesting no scallions, both bowls came with them. The noodles were overcooked and falling apart, and the broth was cold. The poached eggs were barely cooked in the chilly broth. At $17 per bowl, it was definitely not worth the price. I can't recommend this place.

Tènten is a vietnamese restaurant serving Northern style pho in Chinatown. Unlike Southern/Saigon style pho, Northern style one has a clearer broth and wider rice noodles. They have a $20 lunch combo on weekdays 12-4pm, which you can get any pho + specialty drink. You can hardly go wrong here as they have a small menu with only four items. It has limited seatings and gets packed fast, so come early!! ＊Tái Cầu #1 $17 ＊Áp Chảo #3 $17 We ordered the two most recommended pho from their menu. Tái Cầu was served with flank beef & brisket, while Áp Chảo came with sauteed beef and garlic. The beef bone broth was so aromatic on its own (no hoisin sauce needed🙅🏻‍♀️). The rich broth was definitely something you can hardly remake at home. Squeeze some lime juice, add garlic vinegar and a little chilli sauce (very spicy) for more depth of flavors. I personally preferred Áp Chảo as the shredded marinated beef was more flavorful. My bf liked Tái Cầu more as the beef was more tender👌🏻 ＊Quay $3 We got some crispy fried dough on the side to dip into the broth. It looked and tasted like chinese fried dough stick (油炸鬼/油條). I would have liked it better if it was served warm. ＊Coco-Nuts For You $6.95 The iced coffee with condensed milk and coconut cream was very coconut-y and creamy. The texture was almost like slushie. The coffee flavor was on the milder side compared to regular viet coffee. ＊Daily Refresher $6.5 Daily refresher was perfect for non-coffee drinkers. It was a lemongrass peach tea with fresh peach and orange slices. Very refreshing.

@tenten_nyc is a vietnamese restaurant that specializes in northern style pho! there are four options you can choose from. they also sell coffee and other drinks! this is the perfect place to go to on a cold winter day. ft: -#2: rice noodle with beef shin and brisket: the main thing i noticed was that the noodles were wider. the broth was very delicious in terms of flavoring and was perfectly salted. the beef was insanely tender. overall, a pretty good bowl of pho. i got fried dough sticks on the side and i really recommend it. fried dough sticks were a large part of my childhood! -#3: rice noodle with sauteed beef and garlic: the broth in this bowl was noticeably different from the other bowl, and it was quite delicious. it was definitely not the "normal" pho broth flavor that i was imagining, but nevertheless, really delicious. the sautéed beef was seasoned nicely, and definitely added more flavor to the broth. -lemongrass peach tea with fresh peach and orange slices: wow!!! i really loved this drink! the peach was the most prevalent flavor, but mixed well with everything else. it isn't too too peachy which i like. super refreshing! 📍tènten 119 Baxter St Unit B, New York, NY 10013 follow @rebeccatakesnyc for more nyc content!

It’s always a pleasant surprise whenever I find a northern Vietnamese place and this was tucked away in Chinatown! It has a super cute storefront, captivating you to come in. The inside is on the smaller, I wish we had more space but nevertheless it was such a lovely meal to have here. My friend and I are both northern Vietnamese so we’re always happy to see places that fit our palates better! She got the #1 and I got the #2. I also got the chanh muoi and I was so suprised it came in a bottle!!! It turned out to be sparkly, it was so yummy! My friend got the salty coffee and it was also delicious. My bowl (pho Bo ap chao) was on the oilier side but it comes at no surprise as it is stir fried before the broth, it’s the first time I’ve seen this dish at a restaurant so I was so happy to get it. Would definitely come again and try their pho Bo sot vang (it was sold out when we came).

There was a pho Hanoi place in Manhattan that closed down during pandemic, for years there hasn’t been a good Hanoi pho place in Manhattan. To my surprise, I saw this place on uber eats, didn’t hesitate to try it out. Hanoi pho has a special place in my heart since I spent 1/3of my life there. The flavor is a bit on the weaker side but with the fresh noodle and crispy quay, they’ve earned the 5 stars. I didnt have nuoc mam at home,but if i did I would put a lil bit more just to complete the savory balance. Can’t wait to try it at the resto with the Banh mi.

Second time here: - They had a special pop-up for this week, bún riêu cua. The dish consisted of crab fat, beef, fried tofu, and a few other kinds of meat. The broth was made from tomato and crab, taste even better on a hot day. The portion was so generous that I almost couldn't finish 1 bowl, and it only cost 19$ (definitely worth more than that). Even in Vietnam this level of flavor is hard to find, 10/10, love it! First time here: - Price: 21 for the Hanoian + the Salt-mate, the quality and quantity was definitely worth the price - Wait time: ~9 minutes - Friendly and helpful staffs - Very easy to find, right off the J train - Highly recommend Stumble upon this amazing Vietnamese-owned restaurant while walking around Chinatown. Got myself the Hanoian and the Salt-mate, both were very delicious. They happened to have phở pop-up later that day, so ofcourse I had to come back and tried it. And their phở far exceeded my expectation. Phở was 17$ and the taste was 10/10, very similar to phở in Hà Nội.
