Gabriel H. • August 13, 2015Awesome Vietnamese food in the village right on Macdougal. Great bánh mì and pho.
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Julie L. • September 24, 2011Best Banh Mi sammiches around. Get the signature sandwich with a side of Viet iced coffee. Perfect lunch!
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.
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.
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.
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
