Lucy's Vietnamese - 649 Grand St — Restaurant in New York

I'm a fan of Vietnamese food and when I saw that is a new Vietnamese place open in the neighborhood, so I want to try. Lucys Vietnamese is more like Vietnamese fast-food take-out restaurant for me. Type of food are more fusion that an authentic Vietnamese food, but I have to admit that their 14 hours cooked Smoke Brisket is excellent! Both Pho and sandwich.

Small restaurant with smaller menu than I expected but I totally understand because of the area is Williamsburg. This is not Queens, so it is hard to have an authentic restaurant like Queens. The food base on ethnicity of the area so on Grand St. is more Latin American people even some Asian, Italian, Caucasian and Arabic but still enflurane by American type of food.

Overall, the restaurant is ok, price is good, quick prepare and super casual. Part self-service by you must go order at the counter then if you want to stay, they will bring your food to your table. There is a water tank counter, and you can get your water from that table. The utensil, bowl and dishes are plastic or paper so you can throw away after you finish your meal. No seating outside so if you have dog with you for pickup it is fine but if you want to dine-in, I'm not sure if the pet is allow. They will probably busy more during winter or cold day because people will want to eat hot...

The food is incredible! The spring rolls are perfection (I had the chicken and will be trying the shrimp next time) and had the brisket pho which was amazing. They have vegan as well with vegan broth! The Vietnamese ice tea is amazing but I think even though the food is amazing, the service is even better! Mae Mae (sorry if I spelled that wrong) the manager of this location, is absolutely fantastic! She is a warm and wonderful person and just made our meal that much better! All of the staff was super friendly and I got myself a super dope hat as well since it was raining outside! All in all 10/10 and will be back again and again! I will also go to their other locations, but will travel to...

I think I found one of the best vegan pho places in NYC.

Nothing comes closer to the flavors than here. I’ve visited other Vietnamese restaurants and their vegan or vegetarian options are either non existent or made sloppily with random chopped up veggies.

However, this place is different. I’ve gotten their Vegan Chick’n Pho multiple times now and the ingredients are just so tasty. The vegan chicken is such a nice ingredient to the dish. The soup is flavorful. And the portion size is just perfect.

The staff are nice and chill too.

This just hits the spot. I crave it every now and then for some yummy pho. As a vegetarian, I’ll be...
