Small hole in the wall Vietnamese spot along 8th avenue. Don't skip out on this. It's hidden under a lot of construction at the moment. They serve the usuals of Banh mi, summer and spring rolls, vermicelli dry noodles, and pho with an assortment of ingredients. I've only tried the pho soup so far but it was so delicious with both the flank and brisket, tons of fresh bean sprouts, herbs, lime, sriracha, chili oil, and hoisin sauce. The bowl it comes served in is enormous. I literally had another huge meal for the next day after I left. I think the only complaints I have is that there were a few fruit flies the day I came in but it may have just been a random circumstance. Also, I wish they were open a tiny bit later. I think they close at 9pm most nights. Definitely will be back to try more stuff off of the menu.

The food at this place is pretty decent compared with many pho restaurants around the area. Service varies depending on how busy it is but most of the customers coming in are usually students. The ambience is a hit or miss as there is currently construction outside so the area is a bit inconvenient to walk around.

Staffs are friendly, there were two staffs there when we ate. Ordered special combo banh mi which includes pork roll, pork belly, pate, and butter. I also ordered l ginger ale soda which was $2 per can. The crust on the baguette was just the right amount of crisp. It was a little on the dry end. Overall, it was very filling. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5

Was looking for Pho and stumbled across this gem. Beef pho was perfect and very filling, also got a side of spring rolls (comes with 4pc) count finish it all. Small on the inside so would recommend for either solo or for a couple. Great service and attentive staff.

Really enjoy this cozy Pho spot! Generous pho portions and tasty broth. I typically have gotten the brisket pho. I've also tried the grilled pork banh mi and it is delicious! Make sure to ask for the spicy mayo with the sandwich/banh mi. They are great with modifications even on to-go orders as well!

I really enjoy Vietnamese style catfish so I was excited when I saw it on the menu at Pho 2. While I'm guessing the big draw here is the pho because of the name, they also had some other interesting rice and noodle dishes on their menu, even tacos. I've gotten in the routine lately of ordering extra protein whenever it's an option on the takeout menu (just as a precaution in case the portion is small). I can fortunately say here I didn't need the extra portion. The regular portion is more than enough and I was very happy with it. I liked that they compartmentalized the food when they packed it. Usually I ask for my rice on the side but thi was really neat. The catfish itself was nicely and not too greasy which I enjoyed. The best catfish I had in recent memory was actually at a Vietnamese places called Le's in Cambridge, MA. This didn't match Le's - I was hoping for something more like a caramalized fish which is usually how I see this dish prepared, but it was still really solid and I would eat here again. Overall, I was a happy customer.

I was meeting a friend for a quick weeknight dinner. We arrived pretty close to closing but the staff was nice to let us order quickly and our food came out immediately as well. We had a couple Thai teas which were super good and not overly sweet. I had a beef flank and brisket pho and my friend had the chicken pho. The pho was pretty good, but did get cold pretty quickly. It had pretty good flavors and I loved how cozy the restaurant was. Overall, decent spot for a quick dinner.

Pretty good and authentic Vietnamese place in Chelsea, NYC! Not so many choices of Asian restaurants around but here is a decent place to be comfortable! Clean and nice atmosphere. Waitresses are nice and trustworthy :) It was Friday afternoon but the place was lively. Ordered Beef Broth Pho with Flank and Brisket! It was delicious and great potion. The meat was very fresh and amazing broth. Table set was good also. I would definitely come back for sure!

Was kind of skeptical of trying this place out as the reviews on Yelp weren't too great, but this place honestly surprised me quite a bit. Walked in on a weekday night during peak dinnertime and was able to get a seat very quickly. Was kind of surprised how many people were there eating alone, which made me very happy. - Flank and Brisket Noodle Soup - This won't be the best pho you've ever had but maybe one of the biggest bowls of pho you ever had. I was so surprised when they brought out a gigantic bowl full of noodles and soup. The soup was rich which I appreciated but I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles as they weren't able to grab a lot of the flavor of the broth. The beef wasn't the most tender thing in the world, but a little of sriracha will help you forget all of that. - Grilled Shrimp Vermicelli Noodles - I love how many different kinds of vegetables they put in this dish, it felt like you were eating a salad. The star of the dish though was definitely the grilled shrimp as it was incredibly tender and had a distinct charred flavor. Overall, not a bad Vietnamese food place in NYC especially if you're looking for something fast and filling. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.
