This place is to die for! It just has a little bit of everything that you're looking for in a restaurant. Cool vibe, great decor, awesome music, friendly wait staff and great food! A friend took me here and there was tons of options for everyone which I really appreciated! We ended up chatting a while with our amazing waiter and he even was nice enough to share the badass playlist that was on. You feel very welcome, never rushed (which so many places in NY you are) and comfortable here. We didn't want to leave! Also, LOVED the cocktails oh my LORD! Amazing.

They had a lot of seats for the customers ,but couldn’t make any reservations, finally came here for walk-in. We got the table at 6.30pm with permission having dinner till 8.15pm. Who gonna have diner for long time like that. We ate fast. The hostess is not professional. However the food is good enough. The waiter is so nice and gentle.

This place exceeded our expectations! We went in the evening and I felt like I was going into Narnia when I opened the second door. You’ll know what I mean… The manager and waiters were all so sweet! Haven’t had such great service in a long time. The food is a bit on the pricey end, but the quality and amount of meat that is given makes up for it! It also seemed like there was a meat dry aging station in the front too. Spring rolls were nicely wrapped. Peanut sauce was not too peanuty which was so tasty. Chicken curry was very warm and good. Smoked brisket pho - the meat in this was impressive. Banh mi - the meat. IMPRESSIVE. A whole stack of meat evenly put on the banh mi. Vietnamese coffee was very concentrated and not watered down. The interior is very aesthetic! Definitely a place to go for a date out or to try something new!

At first I was lost on finding the entrance because it was a bit hidden behind the plants, however I was delighted to see how spacious and clean the inside of the restaurant was. The server was friendly and informative on the food. The food was good but my favorite was the summer rolls. It include all my favorite food in a roll (shrimp, duck, noodles, etc). And the dessert was light and well balanced. I usually don't eat fruits in my dessert but the chocolate mousse was an exeception. It had just the right amount of guava and the cake wasn't too sweet. Overall, I plan to come back again.

Really good Vietnamese food. We ordered spring rolls, papaya salad, banh xeo, grilled lemongrass Berkshire pork, chicken curry and the special for the day which as fried whole fish with some sauce (amazing). I forgot to take photos of some of our dishes as well as our drinks but were all excellent.

First time here and it was a great experience. We ordered the summer rolls and spring rolls for starters and both were delicious and fresh. I ordered the lemongrass chicken thigh over jasmine rice which came with a fried egg on top. I also tried my friend's chicken curry and both were very delicious! The limeade was very refreshing, and I thought it contained Chia seeds, but they were actually basil seeds, which I've never had before, but was very good. They also have an alcoholic version of this, which some of my other friends had. Will def come back again!

Friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming environment. Vibrant decor. They have Vietnamese coffee. Vegan pancakes so good (eating with hands fun). Oh and dip your bahn mi in the sauce that comes with the pancakes for some added flavor.

Seriously. Probably the best food I've ever tasted. Everything I've ever eaten from here just tastes amazing. The starters, entree and dessert are full of flavor no matter what you pick. Zero gravity beer tasted good. The comfortable atmosphere made it that much better. Love this spot.

We have been eating at Bunker from its original Metropolitan Ave hole in the wall location which had a limited menu that was amazing. As any successful small business they upgraded to this larger space to fit more goodies. In our recent lunch visit, the menu was more extensive offering lots of varieties, it’s gone a long way from when it first opened. Overall good solid Vietnamese food.

This place is a but if a trek unless you live in Bushwick but it is definitely worth it. The spicy lamb curry alone is worth it. Might be the best lamb curry dish I have ever had. The cocktails are solid but on the pricier side for where the restaurant is. I would go back jna heartbeat though just for the lamb curry.

This was legit the best Vietnamese food I ever had in the United States. It's actually unlike any Vietnamese food I've ever had so I'm going to guess that the food had a lot of fusion elements. Every dish had a ton of flavor and the fried rice which I normally do not like was absolutely delicious and well-cooked. I ordered the mushroom fried rice. please do yourself a favor and get this. I also ordered ribs which were so tender that they were literally falling off the bone as I was picking it up. These are stewed ribs and the broth that they're in is so delicious and you have to pour it over the bowl of rice that you get.

I’ve been here three times and it’s still as good as the first. I had just come back from Hanoi where I tried the famous cha ca la vong, and I was skeptical about having it in New York. All the dishes are interpretations but capture the taste and spirit of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Although served very different than in Vietnam, they fully harnessed the taste of Hanoi turmeric fish with dill. I’ve had other fish and veggie options. My friends who have tried the meat dishes rave about them too. The atmosphere is reflective of the location and overall, it’s a fun and delicious time.

Best Vietnamese food I've had in NYC in a while. Almost as good as Little Saigon in Fairfax VA. Great tiki bar type of decor, nice and light hearted funkiness in the middle of a pretty bleak industrial warehouse wasteland. Great fresh ingredients. They even grow their own mushrooms now and get their Vietnamese style coffee especially roasted for them by a local roaster. Must try! Fried tumeric fish is awesome and the crepe is amazing. Went there for lunch. 😄

A hidden place. If you like to try out new places, this may be one of them. The atmosphere is good, good music, cool waiters, food is fine. I would say the Pho was not the best we had (usually the soup base is very tasty), but the sandwich was nicely flavored. I can understand why many people have rated this place well.
