Suggestions for Vietnamese Restaurant near Alphabet City, New York

Polina W. • March 12, 2022Lovely low-key spot! It's a modern take on Vietnamese food. The Pho Grilled cheese sandwich with the Pho shot is a must. Also great papaya salad. The cocktails were superb and service was great.

Tom J. • May 8, 2015The vegetarian sandwich is delicious - rich mushroom flavour balanced by fresh grated carrots and cilantro

Alex • May 20, 2017as a vietnamese person constantly searching for good vietnamese food in the city, this place is worth it despite constant long waits. pho bac and bun cha are my top picks here.

Malcolm R. • July 14, 2015Awesome bahn mi, preferred the sidecar over the original. Iced Vietnamese coffee is tasty, leaning towards sweet.

Jani • December 11, 2017The best Vietnamese cuisine I have ever had. All the dishes in the menu are prepared with a great taste and are all very eye pleasing too! Amazing very welcoming stuff.

James L. • May 23, 2021The Bon Bo Hue is a perfect blend of beef and pork with a spice that tickles the throat.

Ni L. • October 15, 2021Crab &tomato noodle soup is delicious! And Grilled Maitake as well!!

Village Voice • May 31, 2012Robert Sietsema is convinced that Sao Mai may be the best Vietnamese restaurant New Yorkers have. Keep an eye out for the goi bo, banh cuon, and for all you naysayers, give the pho a shot.

Burt L. • September 17, 2013Small place for eat in or take away. Seats about 10. Cash only. Tried the classic Vietnamese sandwich...very yummy. The Jelly Iced Lychee drink is refreshing and fun to drink. And free wi-Fi to boot.

Louis D. • February 3, 2018Really nice Vietnamese restaurant, the autumn rolls are super good, the madame pho is also really good, the caramelized spare ribs aren’t easy to eat though.

Jo • July 26, 2019Hanoi Soup Shop has a rotating menu of daily special pho bowls

Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.

s@m • May 22, 2021Delicious and modernized Vietnamese food! Highly recommended!

Ray L. • October 5, 2012One of the rare quality banh mis you can find for under $5. Next to the dumplings nearby, the best cheap eats in the area.

Alex • May 24, 2018beautiful interior, lots o plants! design well done. pho thin hanoi was a novel find. focus here in noodle soups and harder to find vietnamese dishes with modern flair. promising new spot overall

John A. • July 30, 2015Clean fast Vietnamese food. Carnivores: try the Bun Bo Hue, one of better in Chinatown. Vegetarians: try the Rau Maoung. Yes it grows in swamps, but stir fried with garlic its tasty!

Edward D. • September 6, 2010Love the ice coffees and the summer rolls though this is generally one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in town with great value for the money.

Bram H. • August 31, 2018Best bánh mi in Manhattan with great vegan options. I love the curried mock chicken

Jennifer Y. • December 30, 2020A newcomer who opened during the pandemic but starting to become a staple. Had the #5 (pork) banh mi and did not disappoint

Brian G. • July 4, 2017The Chipotle fast casual concept applied to Vietnamese food. Good bahn mi sandwiches!! Nice interior design too.

Christen D. • February 28, 2012Great roast duck. The noodle soups are hard to come by, Cho Lon, Chinese-Vietnamese style. Worth trying if you haven't, though full of MSG (just like it is in Vietnam).
