Tiffany L. • December 27, 2011The fresh basil soda limeade is delicious! Super refreshing and yummy. The lam'bretta is also really really good. Love this place!
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.
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
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.
Aaron C. • July 12, 2013Finally a Vietnamese restaurant that has the best of everything. Pho, Banh Mi sandwiches, Spring rolls and vermicelli bowls! This is now my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. And they're open late!
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.
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!
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.
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
Roxanne S. • April 11, 2015Best bahn mi in Manhattan. The bread is always hot and crispy, you can't go wrong with any sandwich choice.
Bram H. • August 31, 2018Best bánh mi in Manhattan with great vegan options. I love the curried mock chicken
dawn.in.newyork • September 28, 2016Vietnamese pork chop (Suon Nuong) was prepared well in ample portion. Food here is less salty than other Vietnamese places, so I was very satisfied with it.
Rick N. • September 3, 2020The BBQ pork banh mi is tasty! Well seasoned grilled meat, crispy, but still soft bread, and fresh vegetables
Alexa C. • February 10, 2020Pho broth. For anyone looking for gF spring roll just note that they use wheat spring roll wrappers and not rice wrappers normally used in Vietnamese style spring roll
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.
