5ive Spice

Hands down my favorite chain for pho in the city! You can't go wrong with the 5ive spice special - it comes with braised beef, beef balls, beef, all the works. The broth is just so flavorful and has natural sweetness. Their banh mis are also really good - I recommend the classic and the braised beef ones!The bathroom is hidden behind a wall which is super cool and a nice feature across all the different 5ive spice restaurants.

I made an Ubereats delivery since I was craving some heartwarming pho on a cold, chilly night. The order was well packaged and prepared in a timely manner. I ordered the 5 Spice Special Pho ($22), 6 pcs Rooster Wings ($13), and Summer Rolls ($12). While a bit pricey, the pho did includes lots of toppings and ingredients. The special had a variety of meats like sliced raw angus round eye, sliced angus brisket, braised boneless beef ribs, and Vietnamese beef balls. The broth is flavorful and it was a delicious bowl of pho. I also enjoyed the wings, which were crispy and covered in a garlic chili dressing. The summer rolls were also fresh, but the rice paper was on the thicker side.Overall, my meal here was delicious and definitely satisfied my Vietnamese cravings. It is on the pricey side though.

Went here after NYE to take the edge off our hangovers. The wait was LONG, close to an hour and they are cash only! It would've been faster to sit outside, I'm sure, but it was cold, so I didn't want to, even though they have heaters. The food was absolutely worth it though - the short rib pho is phenomenal and the brussel sprouts were scrumptious. I ordered a thai tea as well and it was good.Recently ordered take out and it was just as bomb, though the portion felt smaller. I'd eat here again again again if I lived in BK. Also, they have a really cool hidden bathroom.

Hard to find the entrance lol. Like the hidden door that leads to the restroom. The pho was very sad. Lacking in flavor and variety. Seating was a bit tight.

Stumbled in here midday on a Sunday and there was no wait. Good vibes inside. Cool hidden book case bathroom, nice staff, and fun ambiance. Loved the "tacos" aka mini Vietnamese crepes. They were so fresh and delicious. Also enjoyed the Vietnamese iced coffee. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Also, FYI - Cash only.

Love 5ive Spice!! They're such a great casual restaurant perfect for cold winter nights when you just want a good bowl of Pho. One of the reasons I really like them is that their food is affordable AND they have solid vegetarian options (that have protein too!). The one thing to note is that they're cash only! So many sure you come with cash in hand and if it's peak dinner time there may be a small wait.

Came in on a very cold day and was not disappointed! Ordered the house special pho which comes with a few different meats. Service was very quick and the broth was very flavorful. The restaurant is fairly small though so prepare to be cozy. Highly recommend, cash only as well.

The pho here is phenomenal especially after a cold night. I've also tried the bahn mi and it also just as good. The portions here are generous and the service is kind and speedy. It can get crowded here but people shuffle in and out quickly. The interior is cozy and intimate and love the door to the bathroom. This is a cash only spot but I've also definitely gotten delivery.

LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm such a taco fiend and these delivered in such a unique way. The flavors are outrageous and really pack a punch. Nothing boring here.I'd recommend curry puffs and beef tacos. You really should dine in and eat these fresh. Tried to do takeout once and the shells got a little soggy and fell apart. Chicken tacos are good but not as flavorful as the beef or pork.Cash only, FYI! (as of Sep 2024)

My favorite grab and go spot before a Barclay's concert or game! Come at least an hour before you need to leave (even for to-go) because they're always swamped. I've tried the banh mis which are heavenly, and the bread is so crisp that it does cut up your mouth. I recently tried the fish tacos which are also incredible, albeit a little soggy from the sauce. They just really know their seasonings/herbs/spices here and always serve you with a smile on their face.BRING CASH!!
