I took my parents here to eat for the first time and heard about this place through a Vietnamese friend. She said this place served really authentic Vietnamese food compared to the other pho places in NYC.
I got #4 which i thought was pretty good, the broth was flavorful and the meat tasted pretty normal. But after a while my mom said that her’s (#5) did not taste fresh, and some of the meat tasted sour. My dad also said his pho (#2) broth was very bland, the meat tasted sour.
Probably won’t come back again, if i do I’ll probably be getting #4 cuz it was the only one that tasted normal.

Order:
Pho – $17.50
Fried Dough Sticks – $3.50
☕ Vietnamese Iced Coffee – $6.95
Total (with tax): $30.43
Combination Pho
Broth: On the lighter, clearer side. It’s well-seasoned and flavorful, but it lacked that deep, beefy richness I usually look for in pho. Drinkable and clean, just not very bold.
Protein: Comes with both flank and brisket. Unfortunately, the flank was noticeably dry, while the brisket leaned extremely fatty—almost an 80/20 fat ratio with the pieces I got. I understand the balance they’re going for, but it didn’t quite work for me. They do offer an all-flank option, though I personally wish there were an all-brisket option instead.
Veggies: Very minimal—just blanched onions and cilantro. Scallions for some garnish before serving. No bean sprouts or extra herbs, which made the bowl feel a bit flat.
Noodles: Easily the highlight of the dish. I love wider, thicker rice noodles in noodle soups, and these had a great texture and chew.
Fried Dough Sticks
Didn’t taste very fresh. They weren’t crispy and lacked that light, airy crunch I expect. It seems like they’re lightly seasoned with black pepper, but overall they didn’t add much to the meal. At about $1 per piece, I wouldn’t recommend this—maybe okay for sharing, but for solo dining, I’d skip it. I mostly ordered it just for the experience.
Vietnamese Iced Coffee
Nothing stood out here. I’m not sure if this leans more North or South Vietnamese style, but it tasted pretty standard. If you’re craving really good Vietnamese iced coffee, I’d honestly recommend walking a few blocks to Hien from Vietnam instead.
Overall Thoughts
My experience wasn’t the best—not to say the food is bad, just not my preference, especially given the higher price point. The pho felt like it was missing that umph you get from Southern-style pho. I found myself wishing for bean sprouts for crunch and hoisin sauce to help balance out the dryness of the flank. If you enjoy a lighter, cleaner broth, this might be your spot—but for me, it didn’t quite hit.

This is a small pho spot in chinatown. They have 3-4 tables. You order at the counter and wait around 10-15min for food.
I got 2 bowls of pho. I love the original version (No. 1 on their menu). The soup is hearty. They do not skimp on the meat. Although I think the noodles are a bit too mushy, the soup base is one of the best. Fried rolls really add more texture to your normal pho.

TL;DR – From a Vietnamese person who has lived in Hà Nội and strongly prefers Northern-style phở over Southern, I was thrilled when a Hà Nội-style shop opened in NYC. I came in here with positive and high expectations, but the long wait, lukewarm broth, and inauthentic flavor left me really disappointed.
High prices ($20 including taxes) and a long wait (about 25 minutes for 1 bowl of phở) despite not a full house, and the worst part was the broth was not even piping hot. My seat mate had to wait about 25 minutes as well, and his broth was also not hot. To illustrate this, the bánh phở (noodles) arrived slightly clumpy and hard, showing that the broth was not hot enough. Phở broth really should be piping hot and this just was not. If they are taking that long with each order, why is the broth not hot? Phở in Việt Nam is served extremely quickly, within 60-90 seconds after ordering. It should not take 25 minutes, particularly for meats that include thịt tái (basically raw meat that cooks in the bowl when served). It is just nonsensical why it takes so long, and other customers from other reviews have also identified these same problems.
The broth is always the most important part of phở. The broth unfortunately is not true to Hà Nội style and is clearly a fusion between Northern and Southern styles. Yes, I know there are some different ways to prepare phở even among HN’s most storied and long-running restaurants from Phở Thìn to Lý Quốc Sư, and many more, but the unifying factor is Northern phở should be airy and light, but the broth was fattier than it should have been. The meat they served was too fatty (yes, even for tái gầu) and cut too thick (other people have said this too).
The staff are clearly either from miền Bắc or family members of Northern Vietnamese people, and it pains me that they are serving this under the marketing of authentic northern phở. I know that they know better, and I know that they have the same amazing memories of Hà Nội phở as I do, but it’s disappointing that this eatery just cannot come close to reproducing that taste. Obviously, foods prepared in different regions of the world will taste different based on ingredients or staffing, but the recipe they are using just is not cutting it. It just…fell flat considering the expectations that were set up. Spoons were disposable and out of stock at my table so we had to ask for more, but the spoons were tiny and made of plastic — like to-go spoons. They need to invest in better utensils.
In summary, I really, REALLY wanted to love this place. It was supposed to be a taste of home far from home, but instead I just left disappointed and feeling like I had been fooled. I will say that if you are looking for a warm or ‘comforting’ bowl of phở, then this will do – but there are cheaper options elsewhere. But if you are coming with the expectations of a reminder of Hà Nội phở, or if you KNOW what Hà Nội phở should taste like, and if you know the taste you expect, I do not think you will find it here. I’m not saying that they are tantalizingly close to the food they promise and market to serve; I would be sympathetic in that case. I am saying that the taste is just not good and really flawed. I
I support small businesses and want them to succeed, but I just left with disappointment lingering in my mouth. I want to see this business thrive in the future and would be back if they made substantial changes to their recipe, made sure the broth was piping hot, and cut down on wait times.

Ten Ten Pho, New York City
Star Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
At Ten Ten Pho, pho is treated with restraint—and confidence. You order and pay at the register first, a streamlined ritual that signals what’s to come: clarity, efficiency, and a bowl that quietly defies expectations.
This is not the richly spiced, opaque pho many New Yorkers are accustomed to. Instead, Ten Ten’s broth arrives crystal clear, almost tea-like, with a gentle savoriness that feels intentional rather than indulgent. It’s light, clean, and remarkably composed—pho distilled to its essence.
The standout is #5, the house favorite and an easy recommendation. It best captures the kitchen’s philosophy: a pristine broth that leads, with noodles and protein playing supporting roles rather than competing for attention. Each sip feels measured and calming, the kind of bowl you finish feeling refreshed, not weighed down.
Don’t skip the Tamarind Drink. Bright, lightly tart, and subtly sweet, it’s the perfect counterpoint to the warmth of the soup—cutting through with just enough acidity to reset the palate. Together, #5 and the tamarind drink form a balanced, almost elegant pairing.
The space itself mirrors the food: minimal, unfussy, and quietly self-assured. Ten Ten Pho isn’t trying to replace your go-to late-night comfort bowl. Instead, it offers a refined alternative—pho for those who appreciate nuance, clarity, and the idea that less, when done well, can be deeply satisfying

I’m Viet and grew up eating delicious pho every Sunday. I‘ve also been to Hanoi to enjoy northern style pho, which Tènten specializes in. I was really excited to try this place, but unfortunately the customer service and food quality is really lacking.
The pho was not worth the 1.5 hour wait. I think it’s best to order it online or call in advance and order to go. I came in on Friday at 3 pm for the happy hour special. It took about 20 minutes for a staff member to greet me, an hour to get seated, and another 30 minutes from the time I was seated for the pho to arrive at the table. There was only one staff member running the food from the kitchen, cleaning tables, refilling condiments, and taking orders. When I was seated, someone’s used pho bowl was still on the table, and it took another 10 minutes for a staff member to take the dirty dish away. My table wasn’t even wiped clean after the used dish was removed. Several customers including myself had to get up and grab napkins, chopsticks, chili sauce, and garlic from other seated tables because the condiments were empty or running low at all the tables.
When the pho did arrive, the tai (eye round steak) was very tough to chew because it was too thickly sliced and roughly chopped. The noodles were fresh and the broth tasted almost authentic, but those were the only highlights of the bowl. The fried dough came out another 10 minutes after the pho when I was already halfway done, and it was over cooked and nearly burned.

Overall a decent Pho, the beef broth was unique but overall the quality for the price was disappointing. Very little meat comparatively to other spots I have had so for that and the lack of spice/punch in the flavoring it was disappointing. Not much variety in the menu to try anything else so not even worth coming back since.

small shop but you just order by the cashier and they bring the food to you!
I got Number 2 and it was very comparable to the best pho I had. Full of flavor, not too salty/sweet, with just the right amount of depth
Worth trying with dipping the fried sticks too!

Rich, flavorful broth with tender, fatty beef that’s well-cooked and aromatic. The broth could be slightly more spiced, but overall it’s well-balanced and satisfying. Garlic vinegar complements the dish nicely, the fried dough is crisp and not greasy, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
