Aaron C. • July 12, 2013Finally a Vietnamese restaurant that has the best of everything. Pho, Banh Mi sandwiches, Spring rolls and vermicelli bowls! This is now my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. And they're open late!
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
Ranu R. • December 13, 2014Quick, easy and delicious. Note, cash only. Get the hog or pilot sandwiches and a side of the summer rolls.
Philipp N. • January 31, 2018One of my go-to cheap lunch places. Can‘t go wrong with a Banh mi Saigon and a shrimp salad.
Tom J. • May 8, 2015The vegetarian sandwich is delicious - rich mushroom flavour balanced by fresh grated carrots and cilantro
Kathy S. • December 28, 2014#6 Buddhist spicy! cheap and generously stuffed with many veggie goodies - wood ear, shiitake, baby corn, tofu and your usual banh mi fixings. whole wheat baguettes available
Sarah G. • April 29, 2022Short ribs, crispy fried rice and a soft shell crab Banh Mi were the table favorites! The sautéed greens with garlic, oxtail fried rice and garlic shrimp noodles were also great
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.
Ade L. • September 18, 2017I love Vietnamese food, I had lunch there with my colleagues and it was so delicious. I love the decor and atmosphere.
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.
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.
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.
Brent B. • May 22, 2021Best place ever! Ignore the other Vietnamese places on the block. Come here!!! So good.
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
