Nhà Mình

We had a 10 out of 10 meal last night at Nha Minh! We started off with delicious drinks which were lychee margarita and lemonade, I loved both. You can’t do Vietnamese without the Pho soup and it didn’t disappoint- it was flavorful and hearty with chicken, turkey and duck meat. The portion is big enough to split for two, if you are getting other food like we did. My favorite were the spring rolls both fresh with pork and shrimp and fried - with shrimp and crab. They have a selection of house made sauces and my favorite one was cilantro pineapple- I could drink it straight from the large bottle. I couldn’t believe how generously the food was dressed with ample amount of mint and fresh herbs and as the owner Fred explained, it’s meant to reflect the tradition, hospitality and richness of the Vietnamese culture. They also have an outdoor area in the back and we were told of upcoming events in the spring and summer so looking forward to enjoying this delicious fresh food again on their outdoor patio. Can’t wait to be back for food and vibes ✨

One of the best spots in the area. Been going here for many years. Can’t recommend enough! Quality and taste are top notch and they are super consistent. They make their own amazing selection of in-house sauces that vary daily. Would recommend the catch of the day and/or their lemongrass chicken. Bahn mi or bowl, you can’t go wrong!

Ive been coming to this restaurant for sometime as I live right across, one of my favorites!! Sadly today I ordered french fries like usual but this time they were so bad and came with no seasoning and very soggy and soft, asked the server about them and that they are not seasoned so she added pepper to it and thats it. I really loved the french fries here but for 10$ to get an oily fries without seasoning was really annoying. The rest of the food was honeatly good as usual !

Positives: I love the name of the place. Nhà Mình is such a cute and welcoming name. The decor was nice and the support/kitchen staff seemed friendly. Their ­banh mi dac biet was ok. Negatives: The pho is bland. Even after adding more fish sauce, the broth just tasted like water-diluted fish sauce and star anise. It lacks the sweetness and umami flavor usually in southern Vietnamese-style pho. They do have a sauce bar but none of those sauces are traditionally added to pho so I skipped them. The chicken and turkey meat inside was dry and tough. The server/owner lady had a bit of an edge to her. I had politely requested at the register to not have additional onions in my orders. When she brought the food to me, she made sure to comment "Just so you know, banh mi NEVER has onions in it" which is not true because there are so many different variations of banh mi. As a Viet-American growing up in San Jose where there's a huge Viet population, sometimes pickled onions are mixed into the pickled carrots and daikon so I just try to note my request whenever I'm eating out.

Google should create negative review options specifically for this restaurant. They have the worst pho I’ve ever had in my life: it tastes like a lukewarm bowl of water. Huge noodles that are mushy, overcooked and slimy. Broth wasn’t hot - warm at best. Chicken that you have to slice yourself in order to eat. All for $20?! Chicken and shrimp summer rolls suck too. Not sure if other things on their menu aren’t disgusting but the pho absolutely is. DO NOT ORDER THE PHO! Also the chef should be embarrassed to serve this to people. In my opinion, they’d be better off cutting the price in half or removing it from the menu completely. PS - after reading reviews and seeing how the owners respond to customers that give them feedback and valid critique, I wish I had asked for a refund before leaving. Save yourself time and money! Or at least read the reviews before visiting so you know what you’re getting. Also no one that ate there while we were there finished their food and I think that’s telling. PSS (responding to the incredibly childish + petty owner): I came here with the hopes of finding a bare-minimumly decent pho spot, and my hopes actually weren’t very high, which made the disappointment even steeper. It felt like a bad joke when it came out since I’ve been craving pho since moving to NYC. Hoping that you learn how to receive + incorporate feedback instead of responding like a 2 year old, tantrum-throwing toddler who doesn’t get their way. That pho sucks and I know you know it.
