3.5 stars. We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the place was packed. The restaurant is on the smallish side and the décor is pretty basic. Here’s what we ordered:
The classic banh mi which comes with grilled pork belly, cha (Vietnamese cold cut) and the house special pate along with cucumbers, carrots and pickled daikon on a French baguette. The bread was really good, crusty and crunchy and held all of the items without falling apart. As far as taste, I thought the banh mi was decent. Not the best I’ve had but good.
We got an order of spring rolls which were yummy. I liked that they perfectly cut the lettuce so that it was easier to wrap the spring rolls in. The vinaigrette that you were supposed to dip the rolls in were kind of bland which was disappointing.
We got a big bowl of Pho Bo. It came with sliced beef, beef brisket and meatballs. The broth was very light. I was expecting it to be beefier in taste, but it wasn’t bad.
We also ordered Angus beef short ribs and lemongrass chicken. The Angus beef short ribs were the best dish from our lunch. The meat was tender, thinly sliced and grilled perfectly. It had a nice grilled aroma. The lemongrass chicken was nothing special. Chicken was tender but lacking in flavor.
Both the chicken and short ribs came with a small bowl of white rice. And I must say, I was slightly disappointed by the white rice served here. White rice should be fluffy and slightly moist with a little bit of a sticky texture. The rice we got was a little dry and bland.
For drinks, we ordered the café du monde which was served pipping hot with condensed milk. It was very strong and sweet, exactly how I like my coffee. No complaints there.
Based on the reviews and high ratings, I really was expecting more from this restaurant. I thought the food overall was decent, but I’ve had better.

The best viet food on Long Island. Everything is so good. We had the Pho, spring rolls, banh mi, and wings. Personal favorite was the wings. The sauce is a sweet garlicy soy sauce.

Clean, nice, small Vietnamese place. When seated you are encouraged to scan the bar code for the menu and order through there. I was feeling a little under the weather, and you know what they say, pho helps with that. So I ended up going with the traditional Pho Bo. Comes with sliced beef, beef brisket & meatballs (opted out the meatballs). Red onions & scallions on top. Bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños & wedge of lime on the side. The broth does have a very strong beefy flavor so if that’s not your thing then maybe consider trying something else. I personally enjoyed my meal, especially with the siracha on the side. All the ingredients complimented each other & came together to create wonderful flavors. You get spicy & fresh at the same time. Now I did also get to try the Tan Binh chicken wings. Even though they were glazed with a hot chili sauce they remained crispy. They were one of the best non-american traditional wings I’ve had. You do pay on your phone as well. It seems like more contactless service is implemented in this spot. Which personally I like interaction but hey to each there own. Understandable.

The OG location. Their second is in Syosset, has a larger menu and bigger dining room, as well as a bar. I’ve been here several times, both locations and I love it. The prices are fair for Long Island since it’s very hard to find Vietnamese food and and sometimes Flushing/Chinatown is just too far of a drive. It’s still cheap though compared to other dinner spots and the food is great. Hits the spot if you’re craving Vietnamese and don’t want to drive out to Queens or the city. Their spring rolls are the best! Even the vegetarian ones are good. I always take a banh mi to go to have for a late night snack or lunch the next day. The owner is also super nice -he remembers you too, which is a nice touch for a restaurant- and the staff is great. Small restaurant but they do an excellent job.

I went around 3pm on a Sunday and had no trouble getting a seat. I got an xl beef and left feeling full, but I think that was mainly cause of the spring rolls I split. Didn’t feel there was a ton of meat in the pho especially for almost 17$. I’ve been here a few times and I do enjoy the food, but kind of feel like the portions are kind of small.

FYI, I’m vegetarian and ordered for delivery, so your experience might vary.
Ordered the following:
1. Vegetarian Pho
2. Tofu Banh Mi
Food:
Uhhh, I’m really disappointed. Maybe the experience might’ve been different dining in, but I just was not a fan of the food.
Vegetarian Pho: soup was good, but the vegetables like the carrots, zucchini, and cauliflower were cut big and undercooked… They ended up being kinda raw and hard when I was eating it. The pho noodles were hard and when I poured the soup in (I even microwaved it so it’s hot much hotter), the noodles were still stuck together. I wonder if there is a better way to prep the noodles for delivery.
Tofu Banh Mi: ehhh, not a fan. Quite typical, came with a little bit of tofu and the usual banh ni veggies. I’d say it was a big okay.
Lackluster experience via delivery. I’d give this place a visit in person next time to see if it’s any different, but food this time was not good via delivery.

I went once and now I’m addicted, great fresh tasting food and the service is impeccable. Been here several times and always a great experience. Thank you (this was reviewed 4 years ago)
Current Review as of 10/1/22:
This is the second time I go and I don’t see any of the old staff. The new staff seems like they can care less. Food and service wasn’t as good anymore. I tried to sit down to have dinner and it was freezing in there. I even mentioned it to the waiter and he said absolutely nothing. It got so cold I only had my appetizers and quickly asked him before he brought my main course meal that to wrap it up to go. Too bad this place went down after they expanded. This will be my last time here used to be a hidden gem.

We stopped in here for lunch on 1/12. I’ve never had Vietnamese food before, so I was looking forward to the new experience.
We started with the pok pok (fish sauce) wings that were pretty awesome.
I had a pork banh mi sandwich, which aside from the sliced mystery meat (pate) that was on it that I had to take off, was also good.
Lahna had the lemongrass chicken bowl, which she also enjoyed.
The food was good. Nothing to rave about. Definitely can’t say that I’m a lover of Vietnamese food now. Would go back again.

A small Asian place in downtown Farmingdale, wow! The atmosphere is almost like a pizzaria, but the pho makes up for it. Tried the summer rolls and beef pho. The summer rolls were nothing special, but the pho was pretty good. Heavily spiced with cloves and star anise, it cuts the greasiness it can sometimes have. The portion seems ok but the price is a bit on the higher side. Service is typical asian service; quick and to the point. Definitely will come back for more!
