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.
Jeffrey K. • November 17, 2014Great sandwiches. Get the sidecar. Spicy!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ekaterina K. • August 10, 2020Roasted chicken leg! Fried chicken sandwich! Banh Mi with soft shell crab! Spinach sautéed with garlic! Garlic noodles with shrimp! Everything’s AMAZING! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
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!
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.
Karen C. • November 13, 2016Yummy! I get lemongrass beef every time. Cash only. Try the canned lychee juice
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
Dan Y. • October 20, 2011Veggie tip: 6a - mock chicken curry banh mi is awesome good - must have if you're veg* - can be vegan without vietnamese mayo.
Nate B. • November 3, 2015Really delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. Get anything with prawns
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.
