Walk into this Greenpoint hotspot and you’ll immediately understand why everyone’s talking about it. The space is filled with lush plants, soft pastel pink accents, and sleek Scandinavian-inspired furniture that makes you want to linger. But don’t let the Instagram-worthy decor fool you—people aren’t just here for the aesthetics. They’re here because the food is genuinely outstanding.

The menu spans the full spectrum of Vietnamese cooking, from traditional dishes to creative reinventions. The beef pho Hanoi-style is a standout: a soul-warming bowl loaded with silky brisket, springy noodles, and an abundance of fresh scallions, all crowned with a golden egg yolk that melts into the broth. The crispy crepes arrive at the table begging to be wrapped in lettuce and dunked in sauce, while the Vietnamese “pizzas” on grilled rice crust—particularly the clam version—are unlike anything you’ve had before.

The vibe is undeniably energetic. You’ll find families, tourists, couples on first dates, and solo diners all crowded in together, with an open kitchen adding to the buzz. If the wait seems long, grab a drink at one of the excellent nearby bars and let anticipation build. When you finally sit down, order generously—the dishes are meant to be shared, and the homemade sauces that arrive in a carousel deserve to meet every plate on your table.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable date spot, a place to impress visiting friends, or just a really great bowl of soup on a Tuesday night, this is the kind of restaurant that leaves you thinking about your next visit before you’ve even paid the check.
