The food is good for comfort but nothing amazing. I’ve come here for many years now and the flavors remain the same. As in, the broth for Pho is a semi-thick meat broth that is quite one-dimensional in flavor. It would be nice to taste some other spices and herbs. Overall, good for the price ?.

As far as restaurants go, this wasn't bad. On the pricier side as well, but not over the top. For starters, the chicken dish didn't have much flavor and also had that "chickeny not-fresh" taste to it, but luckily they had siracha, a chili sauce, and some sort of brown sauce on the table which really helped the dish out. The beef dish was really good, but still could have done with more spice as well so I added some of the brown sauce and a bit of siracha. After doing that, I thought the dish was perfect. I didn't try the soup dish for myself but I was told it was good. The service itself was fine, but it's worth noting that we specifically had to call someone after waiting roughly ~10 minutes for the bill. Not a big deal though because they seemed to be very busy. Also, I usually use a restroom at a restaurant to judge how clean the restaurant in general might be and happy to say that the restroom passed inspection. And for anyone reading this review and wondering, there are TWO single-person restrooms available for customers. So overall, not bad food or a bad restaurant, but personally wouldn't visit again because the food was pretty mediocre and there's no need to settle for mediocre food in NYC of all places.

Initially…. Great atmosphere of fresh dishes being served softly chatting among each table about the awesome dishes served . When our turn , same experience with no disappointments of services , waiter , dishes , atmosphere among other guests

Great pho with beef balls for $12. A roomy restaurant with both big and small tables. Lots of waiters and they all help you! Very good experience!

I dined in and was highly dissapointed. The staff could be friendlier, the restaurant was freezing cold and the freshness was questionable. I ordered beef and noodles and underneath was brownish wilted lettuce and bean sprouts. To go, I got a chicken stir fry dish that contained large bitter slices of ginger and mushy rice. I have never in my life had food so repulsive. This is really sad.

Thai Son never disappoints! Love the phó, spring rolls, grilled chicken rice dish, etc. I’ll definitely be back soon enough ☺️

A local favorite; I've been to this restaurant since childhood. Authentic Vietnamese dishes and noodle soups- the crispy spring rolls are the staple appetizer to complete your meal. Tonight's chilly weather called for a bowl of hot soup and I went for the seafood egg noodle pho. Admittedly my bowl this time was a disappointment: egg noodles were a bit tough and the soup tasted flat. The upside is the ingredients were plenty and varied. Hindsight I should have stuck with the original rice noodles. Service was speedy and typical.

3/5. The 3 stars came from the food the place had. The broth and noodles were unique and delicious in the fact that they had unique ingredients included within. The restaurant is missing 2 stars due to the service and overall surroundings. I asked for extra ingredients but they did not come back at all. The restaurant was also obnoxiously hot. This was especially saddening since it is the summer time.
