Em Vietnamese Kitchen is a place I frequent and order uber eats from. It could be a bit costly but the flavor of the broth is relatively clean. Although it's clean, it's still very good. It's clean enough that I wouldn't mind drinking it and it wouldn't make me hate myself afterwards. I recommend the chicken pho! But the beef bone one is great too. It's very warming for the soul on a cold wintry day. If you go in the summer, I recommend the watermelon cooler or strawberry fields. They are delicious!

EM Vietnamese restaurant has a really nice authentic bowl of pho. The taste of the soup and fresh ingredients in the pho is like home cooking with a side of love. The restaurant is small, holds about 12 people but packed with delicious food. This place is worth many repeats.

Just scrolling on Uber Eats I found this spot and my husband and I decided to try it. We ordered it for delivery and it came pretty quick and was still warm when it arrived. We both ordered the Hu Tieu Kho and it was delicious! So much flavor! The broth was great and all the things added to the noodles went together really well. We also got the Ly's chicken wings which were delicious also. The buttery sauce was really yummy. The spring rolls were good too. This will definitely be my go to Vietnamese spot from now on. I'm satisfied.

a decent viet restaurant - the owner comes up with new dishes every now and then and the flavors are there. I enjoy their bahn mi and their pork sausage rolls. the chicken pho (pho ga) is my fav and it's a good place to dine with friends and family.

YUM! A necessary stop on the way home from Coney Island. The pho broth was deliciously light and fragrant, the noodles and meat cooked perfectly. Dishes take a while to come out so I would recommend ordering a smoothie to sip on while you wait. I enjoyed the coconut one, although it was quite a bit smaller than pictures show. Cafe was cute but small inside.

I was in the area visiting a friend, and we both were craving some good Vietnamese food. Em popped up on both of our searches, and it was only 5 minutes away. Parking was a bit tricky, but we found a spot in front after a short wait. The space itself is bright, cute and quaint.Seeming to be operating with a small staff.The lady we encountered was very friendly.We were seated quickly and given our menus to check out the offbrings.Seeing that a lot of the dishes had pork it limited the options for my friend and I who's a vegetarian and I am allergic to pork. Yet, and still we found some great choices. We will definitely be back as I'm still thinking about that chicken pho.

This local, cozy neighborhood spot in Brooklyn stands out among the many Vietnamese options in the area, which usually have almost identical menus. Unlike the rest, this restaurant features a smaller, more modern menu with unique offerings like chicken pho and northern-style pho, usually I'm used to the classic beef broth. This time I tried their Bo Kho and was pleasantly surprised. The Bo Kho broth was incredibly beefy without being too salty--a common complaint I've heard about other pho broths. As good as they might be, some broths leave you feeling like you've had a ton of salt, making you feel dehydrated for the rest of the day. This Bo Kho, though, doesn't have that problem. It doesn't come with noodles, which means you get a bigger serving of beef. Most pho bowls are filled with noodles and broth, so it's easier to hide when they skimp on the beef. Here, the focus is really on the beef. The dish also has just-cooked, still-crunchy onions that add a nice texture if you're into that. Plus, there's a generous amount of fresh herbs to balance out the rich broth. The beef itself comes with bits of tendon throughout, which adds some nice variation in texture. If you're looking for a Vietnamese spot in Brooklyn that offers something a little different, this place is definitely worth checking out.

I've always ordered through Uber Eats and thought the food was quite decent so I visited the restaurant for a quick little reunion with my 3 friends and sure didn't disappoint! We were exceptionally quiet the entire dinner despite not having seen each other in months, but that's your tell-tale sign that the food SLAPPED. 100% worth the wait. Restaurant was nice, a bit like HK cafe style. Limited seats so come early!

Small viet restaurant in Bensonhurst area. There's only about 4 tables and counter seats for dine-in. I've been to their newer location in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where the prices are significantly higher, so I was interested in trying this location out. The prices are here are more on par with local viet restaurants. I ordered the beef pho, spring rolls, and a coconut smoothie. The broth of the beef pho was delicious. Everything else was on par with viet spots like Gia Lam. The spring rolls were a bit lacking in my opinion. It was thinner and less meaty than I preferred. Add the short ribs to your pho for $10. The short rib is huge and tender -- definitely a good plus if you need extra to fill you up. Good viet restaurant in the neighborhood.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon as a group of three around 2 pm and there was seating available. The space did get filled throughout the day and we thankfully weren't rushed out. I ordered the Pho Bo Em, which is their classic beef pho + it was fine. Not my favorite beef pho broth, but I know lots of viet spots have their own broth recipes. I really liked the beef variations in my pho tho - beef ball, well done beef, and rare beef. I also ordered a Viet Iced Coffee (8 oz) which was just ok too. Not as strong as I'm used to, but refreshing nonetheless. I heard that this location is known for their Banh Mis, so I'm open to coming back for them next time! Overall, nice service, bright interior, and calm neighborhood vibes!
