NónLá Express

The service here is friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The restaurant is also very clean and comfortable. What really stood out to me was their amazing chili sauce! I was told it’s made with five different kinds of peppers, and it truly adds a special kick to every dish. Highly recommend giving it a try! Will definitely be coming back.

The combo for two (2 mains + 1 appetizer + 2 drinks for under $50) is a great deal in NYC. We got the pho and lemongrass ribeye rice — both were delicious. The pho had lots of meat and a clean, flavorful broth. The ribeye was well-marinated, and the pickled radish made it even better. Shrimp rolls were fresh with big shrimp, and the peanut sauce was a highlight. Vietnamese coffee & salted lime soda were both refreshing and well-balanced.

The food from the chicken, beef pho to their dishes are all made to order. The broth is so flavorful and very hot which we love. We also love their homemade sugar cane juice. Delicious and glad it's back. Charlie is always so friendly, kind, helpful and attentive. We've been back a few times because we love it so much and the best part is, you're not thirsty afterwards aka they put no msg in their food. We also love their dipping dish sauce. Very unique. Keep up the amazing work!

NónLá Express provides a fresh taste using natural ingredients by balancing speed with quality. Their dishes capture the rich and aromatic essence of Vietnamese cuisine in a timely manner. The tablet makes it easy for you and your friend(s) to order from their menu. Depending on the time and day, I highly recommend ordering the combo as it gives you many dishes to try. The Summer Roll was delicious. The shrimp, vermicelli, lettuce, and herbs were perfectly balanced. None of the flavors overwhelmed the other. It paired especially well with the savory peanut dipping sauce. The Lemon Grass Chicken Wing was decent. The chicken wings were fried to perfection, although the lemongrass flavor was a bit weak. I do wish the lemongrass and spices were a bit stronger. As for the main dishes, my friends and I tried the Shaking Beef and the Pork Chop. The Shaking Beef is a perfect, packed meal for anyone. The wok-seared beef cubes are tender. Not only that, but you can really taste the garlic, onions, and peppers that were cooked alongside it. Unlike the Lemon Grass Chicken Wing, you can taste the lemongrass that marinates the pork chop. Not only does this add flavor to the pork chop, but it pairs perfectly with the shredded carrots & radishes, tomatoes, and mixed greens. The only main issue I have is the Salted Limeade. The Limeade is made with fresh lime juice, lightly salted, and served over ice. However, rather than lightly salted, it was more heavily salted. I wish they add more lime juice and cut back on the salt so that the sweet-salty taste is more even. Other than that, I do wish to come back to try their Sugarcane Juice. I heard good things and I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Ordered their rice dishes. Food tastes good but the ratio of meat to rice was 1:4. There is excessive amount of rice and not enough meat. For 17 dollars each it's not worth it. Sugarcane juice is great but tastes a little too sweet for my liking. If you enjoy it on the sweeter side it's good. Otherwise it doesn't hit the same as those found in Asia
