5ive Spice - Gramercy

“Great Pho spot! Had the classic beef pho and spring rolls to start. The Pho just hits the spot especially during these frigid winter days. I also had a glass of ginjo sake with a Ho Chi Minh beer. For dessert I had their Nguyen Dynasty cocktail. It's a Scotch based cocktail, with ginger and anise infusion. The Pandan was really nice and floral. I dined in for lunch on a Saturday. It was a cool vibe. I sat at the bar . Cool music playlist. Nice ambiance. Lucky to have this spot just 7 minute walk from my apartment. Service was informative, attentive, very chill and quick and they paced everything perfectly...it was A++! Bravo chefs and FOH teams!”

“Two of us had a really delicious and affordable lunch with cocktails. Loved the atmosphere. Definitely want to return for happy hour!”

“Everything’s alright. Appetizers (two different rolls; summer and regular) were really delicious. But the main course was a bit disappointing. Not truly ‘Vietnamese’ if you will. A bit more ‘gourmet’. The meat for instance could’ve been better and stronger marinated. Now it’s too plain. Pho broth was not ‘beefy’ enough. Portion was ok if appetizers were ordered. If not, it’s not enough to make you feel ‘full’. Service was profesional and quick. Atmosphere was good. Other clients weren’t too loud. And the place was clean.”

“Delicious and fresh dishes with yummy cocktails! We had a main and cocktail each for our dinner. The food come in a big portion and very good. I had a braised pork belly on rice while my husband had a tofu vermicelli noodles salad. The restaurant was very nice and got a comfortable sofa seating.”

“We both ordered the lemongrass chicken bowl over rice/salad, standard Vietnamese dishes nothing too crazy! Wish the salad portion was more and the pickled mustard greens gave it kind of an odd/different taste.”
