Gabriel H. • August 13, 2015Awesome Vietnamese food in the village right on Macdougal. Great bánh mì and pho.
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
Seb • June 4, 2015Best Sandwich ever! I tried nbr. 1 bbq spicy pork.
Nate B. • November 3, 2015Really delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. Get anything with prawns
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
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.
Saarim Z. • August 13, 2015Grab the extra spicy banh mi and the heat will feel good
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
Brent B. • May 22, 2021Best place ever! Ignore the other Vietnamese places on the block. Come here!!! So good.
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.
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.
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.
Daniel G. • November 22, 2013Classic is consistently delicious. Pork chop is made to order for the pork chop sandwich. Cash only.
