Best Pho!
I've been to all the Viet restaurants and this pho is my favorite. I haven't tried much else here, except for the vietnamese desserts and coffee. I know pho and Pgo Bang makes it the way I like it.

Very good!
The pho is very good and very reasonably priced. However, I felt my chicken was awfully sweet and overseasoned -- I'm sure it pleases some people. Also, I must say, it's cheap but more expensive than similar restaurants three blocks away in Chinatown. It appeals to the Nolita crowd, I'd say. But it was very delicious, cheap, and easy. I'd recommend trying it, for sure.

Best Pho in the city!
I've definitely had my share of pho, and this is by far the best in Manhattan. The best broth, the best noodles, perfectly fresh herbs and sprouts. I eat here at least once a week. Be sure to try the Vietnamese spring rolls, they're fantastic. If you're not in the mood for pho, try #45 beef and lettuce with peanuts and rice noodles, it's soooo good. Dishes here range from 4-8$, it doesn't get much better.

Even mom liked it!
Took my mom here recently. A very discerning and picky eater when it comes to dining out - and not familiar with Vietnamese food. Can't personally say if Pho Bang is the most authentic of the Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown - but my mom had the pho - and loved the flavor of the soup, complimented the texture of the noodles and enjoyed the fresh flavors the garnishments added. The grilled pork chops we had on the side could have been more tender - but overall, with competent, courteous staff the experience was positive!

pho-bulous!
Great place to go when you're craving a steaming hot bowl of pho. I'm so glad I discovered this little restaurant! My favorite is the #1, and it always comes out perfectly -- the broth is never salty, and they always put in a ton of meat. Throw in some bean sprouts and hot sauce, and you can't get a better meal for under $5. Definitely food for the soul. Try the fried spring rolls too -- they're delicious wrapped in the lettuce leaves. The service is really quick (I don't think we've ever waited more than 15 minutes for our food), and the staff is always cheery and polite. And I can't stress what great value it is -- two bowls of pho plus spring rolls comes out to less than $20. I love this place :)

Not the best pho in New York
I tried the pho (the standard with all the beefy pieces) and I was satisfied but it was not the best I have had in Chinatown. Mainly the meat itself was not rare enough and just not that good. The broth was great and the portion was huge. For my money, it's gotta be Pho Grand but this is a good place and certainly worth trying.
