Service is extremely quick and the food does not disappoint! The pho broth is excellent and the tacos are on point. The braised short rib that I got in both was melt away tender and packed with flavor! I love their attention to detail with the food and their restaurant. Even there restroom door blends in with the wall of spices and sauces. Very neat design! Will come back!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Without a doubt, this spot dishes out some of the finest pho you'll find in NYC! The flavors are absolutely phenomenal, and the spring rolls paired with that irresistible peanut sauce are heavenly. The staff's warm and welcoming demeanor never fails to make you feel right at home. Just a friendly reminder, they only accept cash. I'm a frequent visitor, and I'm eagerly counting down the days until my next visit for more of these delectable delights! 🍜🥜😍
I always get the veggie pho when I come here and it is so delicious. Lots of flavor, lots of vegetable.
The staff here is very friendly. The space is small so if you want to dine in I think you should go when it first opens so you can get a seat inside. If you don’t really care about sitting inside they do have outdoor dining.
This place is cash only so make sure you stop by the atm before you go in.

I was craving pho (we usually go to Chinatown) but my husband made date night plans to come here after reading reviews. We both got the 5ive Special Pho ($18 each) which consists of slice raw angus eye round, sliced angus brisket, boneless braised short ribs and viet beef balls. The serving size was really big and we could have just gotten one and both shared it. We had plenty left over and asked the server to pack it to go. The pho was super flavorful and spicy but not overly spicy. The beef balls in the pho was not the best but the rest of the meat was really good. If we do again we would get one bowl and both share it with probably a Banh Mi.
We also got the rooster wings ($11) and thought it was just ok. I wouldn’t get this again.
There was plenty of seating both inside and outside but the tables were small and there wasn’t enough space to comfortably eat. The restaurant was also packed with people and there was little space to move around.
The restaurant also only accepts cash and we didn’t know that. My husband has to get cash from the ATM next door. Overall I do recommend the restaurant and would go back.

The restaurant is cramped and busy but gives a homey vibe as their servers are really friendly.
Their restroom is hidden behind the sauce wall so make sure you check it out (I won’t tell you I came mainly bc of this cute secret restroom lol)
＊ 5ive Special Pho
This signature pho can satisfy all meat lovers’ cravings. Hunks of thinly-sliced raw Angus briskets, eye round and bouncy beef balls swam among the deeply aromatic broth. My favorite was certainly the boneless braised short ribs, which were fall-apart tender. $19 for this quality and portion of beef makes it a true winner over the other phos in the city.
＊ Rooster Wings
We ordered chicken wings to share, recommended by our friendly server. The wings were crisped to perfection, seasoned with minced garlic and chilli. Not impressive but a nice appetizer to kick start your meal.
＊ Spring Rolls (4pcs)
Fresh and hot. I was amazed the fried spring rolls weren’t greasy at all. Each spring roll was filled with minced pork, shrimp and veggies, with pickled carrot on the side. The fish sauce was completed with sweet, savory and zesty flavors, serving as a lovely accompaniment to the rolls.
＊ Shaking Beef Vermicelli
They used angus short ribs and I could really tell the difference as the meat was so tender and braised with black pepper sauce. There was also heaps of beef so I could enjoy my vermicelli with meat until the very last bite. All the veggies were fresh and complement well wish fish sauce. I shared it with my company but it was still hard to finish a bowl.
＊ Lemongrass Porkchop Banh Mi
It was good but not as spectacular as the other two. The baguette was on point with a crispy outer and a soft center. The grilled boneless porkchop was cooked to perfection - desirable meat-fat ratio, juicy and flavorful.

The Noms!
The Park Slope location, the original location really shows how bustling they are. We went on a rainy day for an early dinner and place was packing up as it got closer to dinner time. I sat facing the door and saw non stop orders for to go being picked up. As busy as it was, everyone was still very friendly and smiling.
From the outside, you could smell the pho broth and the richness. Upon tasting, it did not disappoint. The pho broth alone might have been my favorite.
We tried their rooster wings, spring rolls, brussle sprouts, 5ive special pho, beer battered fish tacos, classic banh mi, limeade, and ice coffee. My top three were the pho, brussle sprouts and the wings. I am a sucker for brussle sprouts. There was sooo much more I wanted to try but i was full.
The owner was there and he and the host were both touching tables checking on everything and helping out the team in busy peak hour dinner rush! Great experience overall!
Loved this steamed dumplings and veggie pho! The meat in the beef pho was a bit tough for my liking. But other than that flavors are spot on.
The service here is incredibly fast and the pho is DELICIOUS. This place has the most tender and soft meat that I’ve eaten in pho so far and I can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes. The food came out quickly and we were frequently offered water refills by the staff, so fantastic service!
Really tasty pho. Got the 5ive spice one. Got the shrimp summer roll and wings, both pretty good appetizers. Pho had tasty broth, meat, and the restaurant had a nice vibe. Would go again!
Such a lucky find!
Their food is amazing 🤩
I ordered the Beer Battered Swai, and it was really tasty.
Service is quick, staffs are pleasant.
We also ordered Bahn Mi and vegetarian Pho, highly recommended!
