Greenwich Village Eatery Named Among Best Vietnamese Spots In NYC

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — It is hard to get named as the best of anything in New York City, but a Greenwich Village restaurant was recently named among the top Vietnamese eateries in the five boroughs.

Eater NY recently published a list of the "32 Outstanding Vietnamese Restaurants in NYC."

"Vietnamese cuisine in New York City has come of age in the past decade or so, going from a series of cafes with similar menus clustered in Chinatowns across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens to a startlingly diverse collection of banh mi shops, bistros, regional specialists, quirky inexpensive cafes, and, yes, pho parlors," wrote the authors of the Eater NY list.

Hello Saigon in Greenwich Village at 180 Bleecker Street was named among the city's best when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine.

The small restaurant is open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. It offers a special pho dish, crispy fried pork spring rolls, grilled pork chop buns, soups, Vietnamese iced coffee, and more.

Here's what the editors from Eater NY had to say about it.

"This breezy greeting is Greenwich Village’s neighborhood Viet restaurant, intent on attracting locals by offering comfortable surroundings and good food. And not just with its pho and banh mi — try hot-and-sour canh chua; or the clay-pot chicken bobbing with quail eggs; or the bun thit heo nuong, an omnibus bowl of rice noodles, grilled pork chops, shrimp crackers, and crisp spring rolls littered with crushed peanuts and fresh chiles."

Hello Saigon was the only restaurant in Greenwich Village to get named among the best Vietnamese eateries in the city.
