Pho Hoai Bay Ridge Restaurant

We come here often because it's near home and also because of the food. We are lucky to have a Viet spot that satisfies our taste buds so close to home. My husband usually gets either #1, bun bo hue, or the banh mi. I usually get #6, curry with bread, or banh mi. We've tried their vermicelli, rice dishes and soups before and we've enjoyed them too - just that we get our usuals most of the time. To share, we usually get summer roll (either shrimp or tofu) - we really enjoy the peanut sauce. We also get the mussels and water spinach to share, which we also really like. We would try new things on the menu but our favorites are always so good, so we stick with our favorites. Overall, their food and service has not disappointed us out of the many times we have been here and that's why we keep coming back.

This is my go-to Vietnamese spot in Brooklyn. My mom used to take me and my siblings here when we were younger, and I remember her having conversations with the same staff still there today. Whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants nowadays, I don't really hear people speaking Vietnamese, so this place brings me comfort. I've had multiple dishes from their menu and enjoyed them all. I always start with Goi Cuon and end with Che Ba Mau every visit. Some of my favorite dishes are Goi Tom, Bun Bo Luc Lac, Bun Tom Nuong, Com Suon Bi Cha, Pho Do Bien, and Pho Bo Kho. I'm a creature of habit, but maybe I'll branch out and try a different dish each time I revisit going forward.

Food is great. Hence, picture of the empty bowls/plates. One was grilled chicken, they add a little bit of sweetness to it, the other was a soup, and the last one.......I don't recall the name of it. But my wife got full so she couldn't finish it. Service it's what you'd expect from this kind of place. We're leaving New York and wanted to make sure this is one of the places we came back to before we left.

A lovely place with authentic food. The staff are very sweet. I hope people take advantage of this efficient restaurant, which offers a cuisine that is not typical for this neighborhood. The crispy squid with garlic sauce was perfectly cooked and crunchy, the cha gio (spring rolls) were generously sized and the Pho was exactly what we were looking for. We ate it too fast and didn’t get any photos. 🙄 I will be back!

I come here quite often since this is the closest viet spot I have near me in Brooklyn. I got the beef cube with rice, the calamari , the spring rolls, the pork bread and the veggie noodle broth with pork chop on the side. It’s a decent price. Food was fabulous. I loved it. My daughter loved it so that’s a A plus plus. It does not get busy. Def will come back if I am craving pho.
