Vietnamese
I understand why Vietnam is Anthony Bourdain’s favorite place to eat. Banh Mi could be the world’s most perfect sandwich. Pho (pronunciation guide) is a deliciously comforting noodle soup. My wife got hooked on Bun (rice vermicelli) dishes and Vietnamese iced coffee (very strong, sweetened with condensed milk) when she worked in lower Manhattan near Chinatown. From what I’ve sampled in this country, I’d love to try the real thing in Saigon or Hanoi.

Thanks: Jing Fong
Little Saigon is at 172 Route 9 North. Haven’t been – still on my list to visit. Here’s a Chowhound thread on Dakilang Lahi: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/566615
I Just ate at Pho Le. I ordered the Pho with meatballs. It was not as good as the the Pho served at Little Saigon in Atlantic City. It did not have lemongrass and the meatballs were bland. It didn’t taste like traditional Pho. It was hotter and seemed to be flavored with chillies. The restaurant was very hectic the staff were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. It is best to call ahead as we had to eat at the counter. I would not go back. Little Saigon in AC is way better.
spoke with the Owners of Pho Le, she told me that the restaurant scheduled to open the end of April – visit the web site at http://www.pholeusa.com – Wi-Fi Enabled Restaurant !!!???
Red Bank’s Pho Le is open and on the map. Looks like Banh Mi are on the menu. Thanks for the tip!
FYI,
The former owners of Saigon in Lincroft are opening a new restaurant in Red Bank called Pho Le. It is scheduled to open sometime in April.
I just ate at Little Saigon in Atlantic City. I ordered the Pho Bo Tian. It was the best meal I have ever had. I also ordered the Vietnamese salad. Best salad I ever had. They make a cool French drip coffee with tapioca that’s delicious. Don’t let the looks fool you. This is a great restaurant.
Good to know. Little Saigon gets excellent reviews.
Looking for good Vietnamese food in or near Ocean or Monmouth Counties.
How about Little Saigon in Englishtown?
My two kids and I love to throw it down Vietnamese style and when our favorite Little Saigon in Montclair closed we were DEVISTATED and were soon walking crooked. We recenty found out the Little Saigon opened as new Huong Viet in Nutley- WAHOO!
I do have to disagree with your Worth a Visit choice of Viet Ai in Florham Park. We went and were disappointed with the Summer Rolls (wimpy in size and content and the peanut dipping sauce was blah), the Spring Rolls were small and lacking flavor. The Pho was too sweet and we left there in an even deeper slump. Since finding Huong Viet I am happy to report that all three of us are now walking straight : )
I agree that Viet Ai is not in the same league as Huong Viet. Catherine, if you have a chance, try Saigon in South Plainfield and let me know what you think. We love Vietnamese and I’m sure there are more places in Jersey we’re missing.
