Was Greecian Koukla at Saigon Shack a mag?
Popped into this spot after seeing the high Google ratings and wanted to check it out. This is a CASH only establishment. If you don't have cash, there's the food app you can download to order your food online and pay that way. There is metered parking nearby and just a short walk away. Server was very friendly and personable. Food was delicious! Wish I saved enough room for some Pho. The Short Rib Pho looked amazing... View all feedback.
What vicki dislikes about Saigon Shack:
I always love a bowl of pho, and @saigonshack is one of the hottest spot for Vietnamese food in Manhattan these days. If you’re looking for pho with lots of toppings and ingredients, and also a place to have a nice casual meal with friends, then this might be the place for you to visit! Personally, the star of this meal for me was actually the crab cake! View all feedback.

read moreSaigon Shack in Manhattan is a trendy spot for Vietnamese food, offering a variety of delicious dishes like pho with lots of toppings and ingredients. While service is quick, the restaurant can get busy. The Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Shrimp Fried Spring Rolls are tasty, although some dishes like the spicy short ribs may be on the fatty side. The banh mi received mixed reviews, with some feeling it lacked authenticity. However, the oxtail pho was described as amazing. Customers appreciate the affordable prices and friendly service, making it a popular choice in NYC. The quality of the food, particularly the pho, is highlighted, with the pork chops being a standout dish. Overall, Saigon Shack offers a cozy atmosphere with a family-run feel, making it a highly recommended dining option in the area.
Cool vibe at this place super tasty Banh Mi!! Service was great as well. Loved it- highly recommended!!
