I had dinner with a group of four other friends today at this place. It’s a busy establishment that requires the full party to be present before seating, but we were seated promptly once the time came. The atmosphere inside was warmly lit, quite welcoming, and the climate was very comfortable (though one friend had to put on a coat from sitting under the draft of the air conditioner). During our stay, there was upbeat music complimenting the entire experience.
The service was very swift, responsive, and reasonably respectful. We quickly ordered a couple of appetizers after sitting down, received drinking water, and were able to order our entrées shortly after. The appetizers arrived after minimal idling and the entrées arrived before the appetizers were finished, which was a welcome surprise. Massive thanks to Ken for providing the excellent service.
My entrée dish was the Drunken Noodles, which were without exaggeration, extremely delicious. The flat rice noodles had soaked up lots of flavor from the tomatoes and dried Thai basil, which was complimented by a well-balanced spiciness that made it hard to resist shoveling bite after bite (experience varies with spice tolerance). For the appetizers, the Kimchee Fries were moderately crispy and well seasoned while the Papaya Salad tasted fresh and surprisingly sweet.
Overall, I found this establishment to offer great food for reasonable prices and able to accommodate for individuals and small groups. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I’ve been going here for years and it’s one of my favorite spots in the city. Everything is fresh and full of flavor, and if it says crispy, it’s actually crispy.
The tamarind glazed ribs are some of the best I’ve ever had, crispy outside and juicy inside. I also love their happy hour drinks. I wasn’t greeted right away once, but the service after that was totally fine. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Had a great experience at OBAO!
We started with Chamisul Original soju which is one of my favorite Korean sojus and was only $15. Surprised to see it on the menu but paired well (to me) with the Vietnamese dishes we ordered.
For dishes, we ordered the summer rolls, pho bo, and the ka prao kai khai dao. Everything was flavorful and well executed. The pho broth was clean and they gave a hearty amount of meat. The ka prao kai khai dao tasted like a comforting hug and was what I needed on a Sunday night before the work week.
The food was good, but the service made the experience even better. Jennie took great care of us and really elevated the whole night.
We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect spot especially when you are wanting to be satisfied! The ambiance makes you feel comfortable, the food so flavorful and we ate ever bit of it! Jennie by far is the sweetest server, super graceful and could be a model if she isn’t already! Highly recommended!

Great experience at OBAO. The Bún Bò Huế was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful broth with the perfect balance of spice and depth. You can tell a lot of care goes into the dish.
The service was also incredibly accommodating and attentive, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. On top of that, the spare ribs were on point — tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly.
Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re craving authentic Vietnamese flavors and good service. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Came for lunch and got the short rib massaman curry, drunken noodles and tomyum soup. Everything was tasty and delicious. Our server Nate was the absolute best, attentive and helpful. We would definitely return.

It was a cold, rainy day and hot soup sounded like a fantastic idea. Obao is spacious and has a bar. Mona was a very attentive server, she recommended great specials and menu items. We came earlier during the beginning of happy hour which was discounted beer, wine and cocktails included in the dining room. We had summer rolls and Pho. Delicious and warming. Will definitely be coming back to try all the other items on their menu.

Our first dinner in New York, we came without a booking but were seated in 5 minutes. The restaurant was clean, not too noisy. We ordered no rum, no problem, obao platter bun, and pho bo. The pineapple mocktail was refreshing while the food was good; the broth was rich and flavorful. We would love to return in the future.

Just had my birthday dinner with friends here. The vibe was genuinely inviting—relaxed, stylish, and perfect for enjoying a good meal. Our server, Jennie, made the night even better with friendly energy, attentive service, and a great sense of timing. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt overlooked. We all agreed we’re coming back with our families for next time.
