Probably best Vietnamese in NYC.
Fast service. Courteous staff. Excellent food.
Loved the wings, pho, bun bo hue, and desserts. The coconut ice cream was delicious. I got a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was excellent. Worth getting to go.
Everything tasted good including the cocktails. Threw in some Tito’s also to add a punch.
Corkage fee was only $20.
Phenomenal service. Book early.

Gorgeous restaurant with the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in NYC. Elevated takes on regional specialties. Loved the crab cake wrapped in lettuce leaf special appetizer, the bun Bo hue (very rich, deep herbal flavor) and the beef Hanoi pho. The cocktails were also executed at a high level and the Vietnamese coffee was perfectly strong, sweet, and large portion. The space has beautiful Vietnamese details, buzzy atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff.

La Dong was an amazing dinner experience! I would recommend coming with a large group so you can try the different dishes. The food tasted fresh and rich. We tried appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The decor is giving cozy Vietnamese boat vibes. Highly recommended and I would reserve a table unless you don’t mind waiting.

This place is such a solid neighborhood spot. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully done and full of flavor.
The Pate and Bone was a great starter. The chicken liver mousse was smooth and rich, and the bone marrow with toasted baguette made it extra indulgent without being too heavy.
I really loved the Pomelo Salad. It was fresh and bright, with grilled shrimp and a nice balance of citrus, herbs, and a slightly spicy tamarind dressing. Super refreshing, especially with the crispy rice cracker.
The Wagyu Pho was excellent. The broth was fragrant and well seasoned, and the wagyu was incredibly tender and comforting.
We finished with the avocado coconut ice cream, which was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. The crispy sliced banana a really nice texture.
Comfortable, well-executed food. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

This was my first time trying Vietnamese cuisine, and overall it was a great experience, I’d definitely come back. Went for lunch without a reservation and waited about 10 minutes, which wasn’t bad. The restaurant is nicely decorated and feels warm and welcoming. Staff were very attentive and friendly.
As a welcome snack, they served rice crackers with a spicy paste (not sure of the name), which tasted really good. We ordered the tofu and mushroom banh mi and the crab fried rice. The banh mi is a good shareable option, though it could use a bit more sauce to enhance the flavors since tofu can be on the milder side. It came with a house truffle soup on the side, which was absolutely delicious.
The crab fried rice, however, had an unusual smell and taste, possibly from the way the egg and crab were cooked together. We’ve had this dish elsewhere without any issues, so this stood out.
Despite that, I’d still like to return and try other items on the menu.

I haven’t been to New York in over 10yrs and had to find a Pho spot. Google showed 4.8 stars so I had to come try it for myself. The place was full so reservations and queues are a given. Came alone so I was able to get a seat at the bar fairly quick since someone cancelled. I had the Wagyu Pho (flavorful and no additives needed) with added meatballs (soft and juicy), the Sugarcane Shrimp (tastes like shrimp patty), and Steamed Rice Cake (a little on the oily side but amazing!!). Amazingly delicious!!!! The services provided by both bartenders Sophia and Nikki were amazing and had great recommendations on what to try. They made it feel like I was with friends and didn’t feel like I was having dinner alone! Truly love the food and atmosphere here!!! Highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed all the food we got here. Their bon bo hue is very authentic, I rarely have places serving with all the ingredients it supposed to come. This place does it. They are on the fancier side but everything tastes fantastic. I highly recommend this place. I especially loved the morning glory and sauteed mussels. Definitely give it a go if you are in the area it is also very easy to get there it’s right outside metro not even a block. Vietnamese coffee was also great we had several of them. Overall I really love this place will definitely come back for sure.

Highly mediocre and over priced.
The Bun bo heu was particularly bad, especially at a $26 price point. The dish was incredibly flat. Needed more acid, heat, salt. All the proteins were tough. The beef brisket was jerky-hard.
Despite the constant table cleaning they never came by to ask how the food was so unfortunately I would say the service was poor. If I’m paying $75/person you better come by and ask how the food is.
While the apps were good, I was pretty disappointed at an entree being so bad, especially at that price point (almost $300 for 4 people, we also got 5 mocktails). If you’re paying that much for dinner, every dish needs to be good.
Wouldn’t come back unless someone else was paying and I didn’t mind if they threw away a couple of hundred dollars.
Dishes that were good
Bun cha
Papaya salad
Ban Xeo
Crab fried rice
Dishes to avoid
Bun bo hue
Dry noodle duck (also flat and boring)
Sugarcane shrimp (cloyingly sweet)

Had a great dinner. Came when they opened at 4:30 and had a pretty long line already. We made reservations so we were seatee right away. I would def recommend making reservations or come early.
The apps were great, loved the bone marrow and pate with the Vietnamese baguette. Cha gio egg rolls were one of the best I’ve tried. The Hanoi pho was also amazing, esp in December with the cold weather. Service was very good as well. I would come back again to try different items.
