John A. • October 14, 2015Tasty and fresh Vietnamese food. Vegetarian options.. Including vegetarian pho. Recommend crab cakes. Fun environment, be prepared to wait for a seat.
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
Wesley B. • August 23, 2014Seriously the best Vietnamese food I've had in Manhattan, and inexpensive & friendly too. The black rice dessert is extra special, but the coffee, banh mid, and pho also excel.
Anna F. • December 19, 2012Meat lovers - please please please get the Cub Classic, and make it spicy. It's definitely not a traditional bahn mi but that's what makes it even better.
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.
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.
Jeffrey G. • May 7, 2022Pork banh-mi and the Pate banh mi from this hole in the wall spot are fantastic, with fresh bread. Vietnamese good and cheap.
Serious Eats • April 23, 2013The archetypical bành mí baguette: ultra-crisp and crackly with a blistered surface and soft, tender crumb plus perfectly fresh fillings make this bahn mi our favorite in NYC.
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.
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.
Tracey C. • April 13, 2014$5 Authentic bahn mi sandwiches. Easily only of the best and cheapest lunches in the area. Cash only but there's an ATM inside.
Adam G. • October 20, 2012This is the best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam. I love this best. Get a large number 8 (pho with eye of round and brisket) and add a little plum sauce, siracha and mint leaves. Quality meal.
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
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.
Richa R. • November 12, 2013one of my favorite Vietnamese places in the city, been frequenting since 2010. cannot go wrong with the kalbi, pad see ew or pho
Paul T. • May 7, 2010#11 spicy, vegan lemongrass tofu, rocks. Simple, tasty, pretty light for a big banh mi.
Ernesto G. • November 30, 2019Their pho is something else. With four meats to choose from and a delicious broth, you are in for a treat. The classic banh mi was good but go for the soup instead.
Matt P. • September 16, 2022BBH Beef Shank is a must! Banh Mi Platter is genius and don't forget some Beef Tartare too.
