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.
Tom J. • May 8, 2015The vegetarian sandwich is delicious - rich mushroom flavour balanced by fresh grated carrots and cilantro
Lizzy S. • July 15, 2015All the sandwiches are fantastic. Especially the classic and the curried lamb.
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.
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.
Valentin G. • September 26, 2021Fried rolls, banh mi and vermicelli were great! Get a fresh coconut too.
Burt L. • September 17, 2013Small place for eat in or take away. Seats about 10. Cash only. Tried the classic Vietnamese sandwich...very yummy. The Jelly Iced Lychee drink is refreshing and fun to drink. And free wi-Fi to boot.
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.
Hee Jung R. • June 15, 2016Best French Vietnamese food. I really enjoyed spicy shrimp, stuffed shrimp, and sole fish wrapped in banana leaf.
Matt P. • September 16, 2022BBH Beef Shank is a must! Banh Mi Platter is genius and don't forget some Beef Tartare too.
Ade L. • September 18, 2017I love Vietnamese food, I had lunch there with my colleagues and it was so delicious. I love the decor and atmosphere.
Philipp N. • January 31, 2018One of my go-to cheap lunch places. Can‘t go wrong with a Banh mi Saigon and a shrimp salad.
John R. • October 25, 2009Great value for lunch - under $4. Don't be shocked - it's a jewelry store, too. Try the pork or meatball. I'm not a big fan of the chicken. Sandwich topped with pickled carrots/cabbage and cilantro.
Adam G. • October 20, 2012This is the best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam. I love this best. Get a large number 8 (pho with eye of round and brisket) and add a little plum sauce, siracha and mint leaves. Quality meal.
Brent B. • May 22, 2021Best place ever! Ignore the other Vietnamese places on the block. Come here!!! So good.
Jennifer Y. • December 30, 2020A newcomer who opened during the pandemic but starting to become a staple. Had the #5 (pork) banh mi and did not disappoint
