“I came here after seeing the Bing Buzz review this place and it definitely lived up to the hype! We got the spicy ham and pate sandwhich and the spicy bbq pork sandwhich and both were so delicious for just under $10 bucks each. There’s a small standing section where you can eat your food, but we took it to go since it was such a nice day out. They also speak chinese!“

“EXCELLENT Vietnamese food. Best in the neighborhood and many more unique offerings than I see at most Vietnamese restaurants. I am very appreciative to the staff at Banh for being so kind and accommodating. I placed a delivery order through Square and there was an issue due to an error on Relay (the delivery app). It was not at all the fault of the restaurant but they still resent my order at no additional cost. They are wonderful!“

“Hands down one of my favorite spots! The sandwiches are always fresh, packed with flavor, and made with bread that has the perfect crunch. The fillings are generous and balanced, never skimpy like some other places.
I also have to shout out their Vietnamese iced coffee! It’s strong, smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. I’m not even a big coffee person, but this is one I find myself craving again and again.
Great food, quick service, and fair prices. If you’re looking for a solid banh mi and an amazing coffee, this is the place to go.“

“(Almost) perfect northern style Bun dau mam tom. Should add lime to the sauce. Price is high. But in general, good option for northern people who miss home 😂
Dont expect good service tho 😂 they will forget whatever u ask them.
Appetizers dont have much to bring home about“

“The Banh Mi's could be the best in the City. Worth the trip! Had a Boneless Chicken Thigh banh mi and a Classic bahn mi. Both great! I have been here at least 10 times and it is always consistant. This is a take out place only. Buy a banh mi walk a couple of blocks to Central Park and sit in the shade and enjoy.“

“Sao Mai is my go-to Vietnamese restaurant and has been for the past seven years. My favorite dish is the cơm bù lúc lắc (beef cubes)—absolutely delicious. Their pho tai is incredible, and the shrimp summer roll is a must-try (I just add a dash of hot sauce to the sauce they provide). I love that it’s family-owned with a warm, friendly small-business atmosphere, and their prices are fantastic.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a cute and cozy spot! The food was super yummy, the vibe was chill and comfortable, and the staff were so kind—especially Pim, who made us feel really welcome 💕
I had the crunchy spring rolls and shrimp summer rolls (no pics because I was way too hungry 😅), then the Pho Dặc Biệt, Hanoi-style Banh Mi, and finished with the most perfect Flan Cà Phê.
💥 I dare you to try the Pho—the portion is HUGE and totally worth it! Trust me, you’ll leave full and happy 😊“

“Saigon Social is an amazing Vietnamese restaurant in the LES of Manhattan. Owned and operated by Helen Nguyen who uses her wonderful restaurant to prepare food for those in need for various organizations in NYC. She is a wonderful person and an amazing chef using her classical training to prepare amazingly authentic and forward thinking Vietnamese dishes. It’s a must visit!!!!“

“They take res via Yelp, FYI! We did a walk in for a party of 2 at 3pm on a rainy day and it was pretty empty. I had to wait for my friend and was allowed to sit and wait for her at our table. Staff here is very attentive and friendly.
The Pho here is more so like Northern pho, with the fatter vermicelli noodles. I enjoyed my Beef Pho and the broth was good. I was asked if I wanted fresh noodles or not, which was a question I was never asked at other viet spots before. I requested fresh noodles, which were a bit softer in my broth. Their fresh noodles are made daily vs their other kind of noodles made a day before - idk how much of a difference it would've been toh.
We also got their Spring Rolls to share, which were standard. It also came with pickled radishes on the side, which were nice and crunchy.
Overall, a decent neighborhood spot with good, yummy options. I've tried other apps here before (Banh Xeo and Chicken Wings) and they were great as well. Would recommend to others for a comfortable meal.“

“I had the beef pho, and it was tasty. The broth was flavorful, meat was tender, and I absolutely devoured it. (If you’ve never had pho, the beef is rare at first, but it cooks in the soup. That’s why it’s pink in the photo). The two friends I went with both ordered the chicken pho which they also loved.
I docked one star because the restaurant was sooo busy on the Monday evening when we went. We waited outside for 40 minutes, and I was getting hangry. In my opinion if you just want a plain bowl of beef or chicken pho it might be worth it to go somewhere less busy. As for their more specialized dishes, I would have to go back to try them!“

“Great introduction to Vietnamese dishes across multiple regions of Vietnam not commonly found elsewhere (bánh cuốn, bún riêu, or xôi). Overall tasty & well-executed, but less than excellent versions of these dishes. Come ~ half an hour early to make the first seating.“

“We had been searching for a go-to Vietnamese place ahead of winter pho season and boy did we not have to look very far! Plum went above and beyond on all accounts. The plum platter appetizer was a must, especially if you’re bringing littles. The spring rolls were so incredibly fresh both inside and out, and the curry dumplings had perfect flaky dough that still held everything together.
Both the chicken and duck curry were hits. The perfect amount of spice for me (I enjoy mild to medium levels of spice but don’t seek out extra). The chicken was tender but could probably have been more so, but I’m just searching so something for them to improve at this point. It was all really well done.
Our wait staff was exceptional; they were cognizant of timing for our mains relative to when we finished our apps, and didn’t over-stay. They even provided an entire kid’s place setting for our two year old. A clean space, homey atmosphere, pleasant music, and DELICIOUS food. Coming again soon!“

“I absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere was calming and welcoming. The short rib Pho was absolutely amazing. I’ve had many dishes of Pho before and this one is the best I’ve ever had. Both of the people working were so friendly and asked me if I had any questions and gave me recommendations. Highly recommend.“

“Fast service that doesn’t sacrifice quality. New place in the area that was surprisingly delicious. Pho has good broth, meats are flavored, it comes out right away boiling hot so you can flip it and cook it properly. I recommend dine in if you want pho because that’s the best way to eat it but it was still good as takeout.
Edit: I moved away from here a few months ago and I miss it every time I eat Pho somewhere else. This place was so flavorful that it put a lot of other places to shame.“

“Fish banh mi is the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The fish is SUPER fresh and tender/flakey, the fish fillet breading is not too thick, the fresh made house baguette is soft (not stale at all), the pickled carrots also tasted fresh and not like they’ve been sitting around like other banh mi spots. Love they have a wide delivery radius and go downtown. The fried chicken banh mi is flavorful too but spicy.“

“Came for the pho but was pleasantly surprised by the banh mi sandwich. The baguette is crisp and soft, with flavorful fillings like grilled pork or chicken. The pho is also pretty good, especially the brisket which is tender. Prices are reasonable, with sandwiches around $10 and pho $12-15. Service is efficient, and the restaurant is cozy and clean.“

“There was a pho Hanoi place in Manhattan that closed down during pandemic, for years there hasn’t been a good Hanoi pho place in Manhattan. To my surprise, I saw this place on uber eats, didn’t hesitate to try it out. Hanoi pho has a special place in my heart since I spent 1/3of my life there. The flavor is a bit on the weaker side but with the fresh noodle and crispy quay, they’ve earned the 5 stars. I didnt have nuoc mam at home,but if i did I would put a lil bit more just to complete the savory balance.
Can’t wait to try it at the resto with the Banh mi.“

“Small place for takeout. Was craving bahn mi and got bbq pork. Pork was really tasty. would get without mayo next time given fatty pork. Pickled carrots were not very or at all pickled (which the sandwich really needed). I’ve had a lot of banh mis and can’t tell you what is authentic or not but not my favorite type of bread. It’s like an old school French bread. Yes there is a crust but it’s not crusty. So no real crunch from crust, more chewy. Not my favorite style. Not sure about trying other things. Could not find the words “nước chấm” anywhere…“

“This place is absolutely amazing. it’s a tiny little hole in the wall, it feels like a nice cozy family owned restaurant. the food is delicious, the portions are great, and i am so happy i found it. my bf and i went last night and it was so good that we’re going again tonight. i got the drunken noodles and he got the crispy pork, and both of us also got spring rolls as appetizers. 10/10 so so delicious i cannot recommend enough.“

“Large portions and pretty delicious. The pho came in a large bowl. The vegetable spring roll was also good but had only one shrimp per cut roll. The bahn mi was probably my favorite. It was flavorful and filling. For the price, I'd definitely come back.
The service and atmosphere is good too. We went during lunch time and there were only a few other customers there, so it was very nice and quiet.“

“The experience was very cozy, relaxed, no-rush, and memorable. We took the risk of going down the stairs into the dark, non descript restaurant on a cold, breezy day. It was a pleasant surprise to find the ambience and service so pleasant. I'll surely try there evening Jazz sometime soon.“

“$14 pho lunch special, +$2 for spicy. Overall enjoyable! A fairly good bowl. Broth + lime + spicy was enjoyable. The spicy level is fairly low--doesn't really affect flavor but adds a light kick when you drink a spoon of broth. Management offered to make it more spicy if it wasn't enough which was appreciated. It does have a slight additive effect though so I opted not to. They're not giving you a ton of bean sprouts but the bean sprouts you are getting are washed and look to be of good quality. I feel like this applies to the bowl overall--fairly good quality but not overwhelming. I left satisfied but not full.“

“Around 6:30 in the evening on weekdays, the store is almost full, business is pretty good, and the store also takes a lot of takeout orders.
The two of us ordered a bowl of mixed beef pho, a fried spring roll and a pork bun, and were very satisfied with everything. The fried spring rolls were very hot when they were freshly fried. They were crispy on the outside and filled with minced pork. They were delicious with the dipping sauce. There are three pork buns in a portion, and the fillings are crispy pork belly, pickled radish and sweet noodle sauce. This combination is unexpectedly harmonious and very satisfying. It is my favorite. The beef rice noodles contain beef tendons, beef slices and beef balls. There is not much meat but a lot of rice noodles. The soup is sweet and has a bit of Chinese medicine. It is just right for two people to share a bowl.“
