“ Pho Maiden Lane for my first experience was great !!! The location is kinda small but the staff is very accommodating if you have to wait a little but to be seated. The staff service was extremely nice & prompt . I had the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings & Beef Stew Pho and they were both amazing & delicious. Of all the establishments in the 5 boros where i have had Pho i will say they had the best & most fulfilling bowl. This location will definitely be top priority on my list if i am in the area or if i would like the same dishes or to try something different on the menu . I am a very tough person to please & this place definitely exceeded my expectations ”

“ Cute small place in the heart of New York. Really good pho the flavor was great and exactly what i was craving. Service was a little awkward but the food was good so that's all that matters. Would return ! ”

“ Cozy Pho spot on Maiden Lane! Got the Beef Ball Pho ($16) which came out quickly and had a generous portion of noodles and meatballs. Noodles were nice and chewy but the broth itself doesn't have much flavor. The addition of cilantro, bean sprouts, lime etc definitely makes it better. Not much seating, so either grab to-go, or try and go early. ”

“ Dropped by for a quick meal and was promptly seated. I wanted something light, so I went with the chicken tacos, while my wife ordered the chicken pho. Both dishes were fantastic! The chicken was grilled to perfection, and the flavors in both meals were absolutely amazing. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable. A great spot for a satisfying and affordable meal--highly recommend! ”

“ Really enjoyed the beef pho and the spring rolls. The food came out quickly once you are able to get your order in. The challenge with this place is that it's small and only has a free seats for dine in which means they get swamped with to go orders and food pick up so they neglect the diners at the table. They haven't been able to nail down service in coverage during prime lunch time... With that said, go early so you can get your food and leave with in your lunch hour or order to go and pick it up if you don't have more than an hour lunch. Look forward to returning to try other menu items because the food was hot and good portioned. ”

“ I found an affordable banh mi place near my work! The sandwich was about 11 bucks (I went for the catfish sandwich). The sandwich was OK although I do get a little concerned when I eat fish during a work day. Service was quick and it was very filling. I liked that this place accepted credit cards. The place is small, but it does have seating available. I wish they offered shrimp banh mi, which I didn't see. ”

“ The five stars review is strictly for their Banh mi sandwich. Pho Maiden Lane is a small yet cozy Vietnamese restaurant. I am currently obssessed with their grilled pork banh mi. It's one of the best I have ever had! It has so many flavors. The baguette stood out. It was fresh and crispy. The bahn mi had plenty of meat and pickled veggies. The grilled pork was flavorful. They offer many other Vietnamese dishes, but the banh mi is great! ”

“ Phenomenal place for a quick lunch. Hearty if you're looking for hearty, light, refreshing, flavorful if you're not into needing a nap afterwards. Service is hyper efficient. Inside is a bit sparse, but tailor-made for the quick, value packed bite near the 9/11 Memorial. Being a tourist from a place with a lack of southeastern Asian fare, Vietnamese sounded like a solid choice. We found a seat and poured over the menu. I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to over order cheap eats, so we went with two apps, two mains for the meal. The bahn mi was fantastic. A nice edge of spice with some sweet savor gave a nice contrast; the contrast theme, as would be expected, continued with the light bread to crunchy vegetation and the density of the meat. Nor was it a short portion; the sandwich in itself was more than enough to satisfy my hunger. The best offering was the spring rolls (truth be told, I wish I had gotten the duck, but veered and went with the standard, pork). Most notably, other than it being rocket exhaust hot, was the incredibly light, crispy outer. To say these were fried to perfection is a lazy expression. The normal sweet chili sauce was presented. The summer rolls with shrimp were average. Generally, if you've had a decent summer roll, then you've had these. All in all, highly recommended. Hard to say if the service or the meal was better, but both very, very good. ”
