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.
Saarim Z. • August 13, 2015Grab the extra spicy banh mi and the heat will feel good
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.
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.
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.
Rick N. • September 3, 2020The BBQ pork banh mi is tasty! Well seasoned grilled meat, crispy, but still soft bread, and fresh vegetables
Sharon T. • June 18, 2014love this place! best banhmi I've had in the city so far. This place DOES open a little late. Was here at 12 and had to wait for 15 min.
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.
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!
Jon C. • August 6, 2011Awesome sandwiches. Come here for spicy number 1
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
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.
Seb • June 4, 2015Best Sandwich ever! I tried nbr. 1 bbq spicy pork.
