Gabriel H. • August 13, 2015Awesome Vietnamese food in the village right on Macdougal. Great bánh mì and pho.
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!
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.
Bram H. • August 31, 2018Best bánh mi in Manhattan with great vegan options. I love the curried mock chicken
Nate B. • November 3, 2015Really delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. Get anything with prawns
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
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.
Malcolm R. • July 14, 2015Awesome bahn mi, preferred the sidecar over the original. Iced Vietnamese coffee is tasty, leaning towards sweet.
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).
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
Brent B. • May 22, 2021Best place ever! Ignore the other Vietnamese places on the block. Come here!!! So good.
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.
Tom J. • May 8, 2015The vegetarian sandwich is delicious - rich mushroom flavour balanced by fresh grated carrots and cilantro
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.
Matt P. • September 16, 2022BBH Beef Shank is a must! Banh Mi Platter is genius and don't forget some Beef Tartare too.
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.
