Kathy Lin: Pho, banh mi, vermicelli bun are all wonderful
Village Voice: You won’t find more perfect Pho anywhere else in this hood. The broth is delicately scented with sweet spices and so good, you might end up forgetting about the actual noodles.
N Xu: The bun with grilled chicken is so delicious and reasonably priced! They should have seamless delivery option, Seriously!

Mark Bramhill: Their whole menu is great, but their Pad Thai is perfect. Not too sweet, flavorful. Great as a lunch special.
Village Voice: Decorated like a Southeast Asian market this place has the quirk of one too - Here that means food far hotter, sauces more tart and even portions more generous.
Matthew: A good selection of two-course lunch specials is available for $8 (before tax and gratuity) between noon and 3:30 pm everyday, including weekend.

Marc Schiller: Excellent quality sushi. Their home made soy sauce and eel sauce are incredible.
EArchitect: There's additional seating in the rear, which IMO is the better section to dine, especially with a large group of friends.
Ken S: ask for a table in the back

J.R. Reed: Pad thai and green curry chicken must-haves! And shrimp and curry puff appetizers!
The Wall Street Journal: Worth trying at this posh but low-key place: the two-course prix-fixe lunch ($8) with vegetable dumplings stuffed with shiitake mushroom, sweet corn and peanut, plus steaming pad see ew with beef. Read more.
New York Habitat: Good prices with unique and tasty options. Start with the vegetable dumplings and then move on to the drunken noodle. Get it extra spicy!
