Notable Picks
#1
Hanoi House
8.6
A high-energy East Village Vietnamese room that leans modern without losing the comfort-food core. The win here is the depth in the broths and the way the menu balances bright herbs with richer grilled flavors—best when you keep the order tight and noodle-forward.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pho (choose two cuts, go broth-first), Bun cha, Papaya salad (goi du du)
What makes it special: Modern Hanoi-leaning flavors with broth depth that holds up at volume.
#2
V-Nam Cafe
8.1
A small, no-drama neighborhood counter where phở is a reliable cold-weather move—fast turnaround, solid broth, and prices that feel unusually friendly for Manhattan. Treat it like a repeatable routine: pick one phở style, add a simple side only if you’re hungry-hungry.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pho (beef or vegetarian), Classic banh mi, Summer rolls (goi cuon)
What makes it special: Reliable pho-and-banh-mi comfort with a quick neighborhood rhythm.
