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.
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.
Raphael L. • July 23, 2015The Banh mi is exactly what you want. And the spicy lambretta - awesome. They deliver, too - fast and pretty cheap. This place is 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.
Valentin G. • September 26, 2021Fried rolls, banh mi and vermicelli were great! Get a fresh coconut too.
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.
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.
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
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!
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.
Karen C. • November 13, 2016Yummy! I get lemongrass beef every time. Cash only. Try the canned lychee juice
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
Brent B. • May 22, 2021Best place ever! Ignore the other Vietnamese places on the block. Come here!!! So good.
Lewis L. • April 26, 2011They have the best pork chops on rice ever and great country style duck and everything else on the menu. Great prices too!
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
