Visiting NYC, we were staying in downtown and chanced upon this restaurant and were very happy to have found this place. The food was great and service was excellent and prices were reasonable (compared to London so not sure how this fairs with other NY restaurant). Will definitely go back if we are back in NYC.

I am reading a lot of reviews here that its too expensive for Asian and Vietnamese food. Thats just Bollocks !!! Why should Asian food be cheap and French, American and Italian can charge whatever they can? As an Asian myself, I think its rather racist and derogatory to just expect any and everything coming out of Asia or Asian restaurant has to be cheap. This whole Chinatown and everything Asian has be cheap is something I would expect of only small minded cheap sort of people. I believe the prices and food should be judged independently without the connotation of it being Asian or not. On that note, I have to say I found this restaurant FANTASTIC. The decor is nice and the location in Tribeca brings about a crowd thats pretty eclectic. The drinks are great though i loved the Vietnamese beer 33 and Saigon. I am a vegetarian but my date was not and both of us couldn't agree more that both our individual dishes - appetizers and mains were GREAT. I ordered the Veggie crab cakes they were super (crisp golden brown on the outside with a great dipping sauce) and then as a main I had this chilli Seitain dish which was spicy, the way I like my food. The food was flavorful and yummy. My date got chilli calamari which she mentioned was uniquely done and was really good. For her main, she got a fish (snapper I believe) which was also cooked in spices and sauce which made it look really good and she agreed it was indeed really good. All in all, a great place in NYC to get some GREAT Vietnamese food.

Lovely place, amazing food! Definitely should try skewers, chilly calamari, crab cakes and desserts (coconut and green tea cakes) - delicious!

Funny that you are required to rate the atmosphere as I have never been there, only ordered delivery.. Same for Service. gave it a high rating cause they delivered FAST in the snow storm... ordered the Chicken Fried Rice.. Standard. My co-worker ofered the Pho Ga (chicken soup broth..): appears: standard. Portions are fine. lots of bad reviews on the site. I would probably order from here again, but not in a rush

This place..while they do have a few tasty options, is completely over priced and is a prime example of utterly poor staffing. If you feel like ordering another diet coke is a real hinderance on your waiters personal life, go here. If you enjoy paying $25 for 6 small pieces of duck fat- Viet is for you. Tacky interior- over-rated food- bothered and slow service.( Though i’m sure you can eat healthy as they don’t give you anything)…)

ate there last wk with my son and we loved it - sat at the bar and the food came out fast. the service was amazing and the waiters were friendly...so much so that my wife is taking both of my boys there tonight again. the food was fresh and tasty !

The best things about this place are the beautiful roomy dining room and off the beaten path location. A reservation for 10 on a Friday night was a breeze. Because the place was half empty, we were able to hang out long after dinner was done. Which is too bad, the place should get more business. The food is very good and portions generous. It is overpriced for Vietnamese. But I'd rather pay more for ambience and quality, rather than go to one of those stark and dirty places in Chinatown. My one major beef is the bartender. I ordered a $11 cocktail that was supposed to be made with cointreau, according to the menu. But I caught the bartender trying to substitute Bols, a cheap gross triple sec instead. When I called him out, he acted like he had no idea there was a difference between a $45 bottle of cointreau and a $7 bottle of Bols. Also, almost every cocktail we tasted was pretty bad. Order beer, wine or a straight drink instead and be sure to call your liquor.
