Ly Ly Vietnam Cookhouse

The best Vietnamese food I've had in NY so far. It was hard to decide what we wanted...but we shared the pho, the banh xeo, the banh mi and the chicken wings. I wanted to try a little bit of everything, but there is still so much left on the menu! I can't wait to back to try more! The restaurant is so cute and the staff are kind! Definitely try this place!

This was an amazing Vietnamese restaurant. I loved the UES pho. So flavorful with big portions. They give you a giant rib in the pho. They say the soup was cooked for over 20 hours and I believe them. The service was great. We got our food quickly. Overall it was a great experience. No problems whatsoever.

I think bc it's michelin guided, I subconsciously just had higher expectations on the quality. We ordered the hanoi pho, lump crab noodles, saigon shaken beef, and bun cha hanoi (mothers day special). Hanoi pho -- rich and beefy broth with flat white noodles; i personally rlly liked this dish and thought the noodles were perfect and soup had good flavor, but my mom and aunts did find it a bit salty for their liking. Lump crab noodles -- on the lighter side which i rlly enjoyed; it tasted like a light garlic noodle with some hints of parmesan. They do use real crab, but you can taste that it's made with frozen crab. I did find myself drinking a lot of water after a few bites and felt it was a lil saltier than my preference. Saigon shaking beef -- get this! Beef is so tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce and pairing with the arugula and veggies were so delicious. This was also my mom and aunts fav! The sauce was so good we used it on the crab noodles. Bun cha hanoi -- the grilled pork patties that come in a separate small bowl were the highlight of this dish. The main dish did lack fresh ingredients imo; half the veggies were wilted and the lettuce had some bitterness to it ind

This pho restaurant is truly amazing! The quality and flavor of the pho taste just like back home in Vietnam. Being recognized by the Michelin Guide 2025 is absolutely well deserved. It's impressive to find such an authentic Vietnamese pho spot right in the heart of New York City. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Helsey. She took great care of me and the other guests with genuine kindness and hospitality that truly reflects Vietnamese culture. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic pho and warm service. Definitely worth coming back to and recommending to friends and family!

I stopped in a few days ago while visiting NYC, and this was the BEST pho I've ever had. The broth was so flavorful, which is really hard to find with a vegan broth. For some added context, I used to eat meat, so I'm judging this based on all of the pho I've had in my lifetime. The tofu summer rolls were also fantastic and perfect for sharing. The Vietnamese coffee was also delicious, and I loved the fun glasses the drinks were served in. Everyone was so friendly, and the service was great. I really loved the laid back atmosphere and the decor. It was a really clean and homey space with AMAZING food. I wished there was a soup/sandwich combo, because the banh mi looked amazing. I will definitely be back!
