Yummy! The Vietnamese crepe was delicious. I chose tofu.It comes with two. The middle part is only the vegetable toppings and the tofu. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for me.I loved that the crepe was on the crispy side. It felt almost like a hard shell taco. So fun to eat. And the tofu was slightly fried and tasty.This is a good spot for something casual and relatively inexpensive.

Delicious, flavorful, and fresh. Dishes that I order at other restaurants just taste better here. I wish I lived near by, I would come here all the time. My husband is GF and he had a lovely selection of menu offerings. Casual, quick and great!Dietary restrictions: Multiple gluten-free options

The pictures on their site is what excited me to try their food and I was disappointed with their sandwich and fries. The fries were regular not waffle fries. Food was mediocre. $25 bucks down drain not worth it in my opinion.

We like to eat Pho often, even in different countries. We had the worst experience here. Atmosphere like in a train station, the soup tastes like nothing, I suspect it was a ready-made soup and the waitress behind the counter brings the food and puts it on the table without saying a word... Find another Vietnamese restaurant, we also had very good experiences in other restaurants in New York!!!

Had the meatball pho and chicken banh mi. The broth was delicious, hit the spot, the meatball were homemade not processed. Banh mi baguette was crispy outside and not too starchy inside, perfect. however Seamless delivery was not great, the soup spilled and the delivery person did not pay attention. But will definitely order again, maybe to dine in or pick up.

Such a nice spot to grab some pho or banh mi! They had a special dragonfruit banh mi for valentine’s day, and they were very kind for making an order for us after they had sold out :)) Great service, yummy food, and would highly recommend stopping by.

Extremely displeased with my experience at the store. They let a homeless guy harass customers and both the homeless guy and the host pressured me into buying him food. I am never opposed to buying a person in need a meal but for the host to mishandle the situation and enable the pressure was unacceptable and I felt unsafe. The man was asking for chicken and rice, the store should have at the bare minimum given the man some food and escorted him out instead of the host making me purchase the meal for him. Very shocked with how this was handled and you could tell no one in the store felt comfortable.

I'd give this 4 for if you're on the run and want a hot soup and 2-3 if you're looking for an authentic pho experience. My 16 year old nephew and I had a very decent meal on a very cold day and enjoyed the simple atmosphere. The flavors weren't really out of this world. Generous portions. Friendly service. I had the brisket and he had the chicken. He liked the broth and said the noodles were cooked well.
Two Wheels is a gem in the UWS. My wife and I are loyal customers, and we consistently return for their delicious food. However, our recent experience has left us uncertain about future visits.We decided to come in for a quick lunch, ordered our usuals - Two Wheels Pho (a must in this weather). The food, as always, delicious. But unfortunately, the service that we received were extremely poor.The waitress was extremely rude serving us, rolling her eyes, putting the food down with an attitude, and did not provide us any water even after we have asked for it before sitting down. We're still unsure about the reason for such treatment, and feel very thrown off by it. Customer service should be the top priority to keep any business strong, especially in the restaurant industry.Despite the food being delicious as awlays, we are sad that we won't be returning. Again, customers should be your number one priority. Without good customer service, it's going to be hard to keep customers around.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST Vietnamese place I’ve tried. Love their nuc mam, everything tasted right on point. We ordered a steak banhmi, papaya salad, egg roll and a deluxe pho. The pho is so rich and the veggies are very fresh. The papaya salad is my fav it’s so flavorful and again fresh crunchy veg!!! But I got to say they have the best bamhmi!!! I can’t wait for them to open one in queens!!!!! Definitely go try them if you are in the area.

I had high hopes when I chose to lunch at Two Wheels on A'Dam. It all sorta spiraled from there...I ordered the crispy spring rolls "with lettuce" as i love the traditional manner of wrapping the rolls in lettuce. I was given option or chicken or vegetable rolls. I chose veggie option. I also got the traditional Bahn Mi and asked for water. I paid but didn't leave a prepaid tip just then. I wonder in hindsight if this irked the person behind the register. In "self-serve" places I sometimes leave tips either to the end or keep them on the smaller side as the service is almost non-existent (I was a waiter for almost 20 years so give me some slack here...)Ok so the spring rolls started the spiral effect. No lettuce (and a bit too greasy). I brought them up to register and the person said they don't do that anymore, despite the mention in menu. I said I only got them because of how they were described on menu. She offered a refund which i declined. I should have accepted offer as at first bit they were awful. A paste of bland mush that seemed to strike me of chicken. I got back up and apologized for my repeated inquiries but was this chicken? I ordered vegetable. She gave me some lack luster explanation of puréed veggies and tofu. Weird and I've never encountered that so i retreated with the rolls due to my hunger. The Bahn Mi. Tasty and fine but weirdly long and not cut in two. Before i get grief about "mommy cutting your food" jokes-- this object was objectively long, like 17-18" and would have been appreciated cut in twain. I did not complain about this.....BUT The spiral continues. The water glass was like 1/2 full. Again i wondered in a semi-paranoid way if she was miffed at not being tipped. I dont like making up stories. I dont like being distracted by petty stuff while dining. It's all on me. But the number of strikes against this experience was mounting. I finished my water in .005 of a second and went BACK up to the counter for more (I believe it was at this point I contemplated something i NEVER do which is not to tip at all..) I asked EXTRA politely for more water and she filled up a glass brimming with luke warm and cloudy water from nearby sink, not even bothering with any ice. I was so put-off by it all- the sense of attitude, the cloudy water, the food, that i contemplated tossing the water out on the sidewalk. but I simply turned and returned it silently and took an empty glass from their counter rack. I filled it with my own water from my water bottle. This self-service restaurant experience was earning its name and then some. I ate and left. I'm still pondering what to leave as a tip.

Good, consistent, and reasonably priced traditional Vietnamese food. The storefront and space is small but it's like having a quality Vietnamese food truck on the UWS. If you like traditional Vietnamese dishes like bon me and pho, definitely give Two Wheels a try.
