Lucy's Vietnamese - Ridgewood — Restaurant in New York

So far I've been here twice. Both times had a vermicelli bowl. So I really can't speak too much else on the menu The shrimp vermicelli was delicious. However, the brisket vermicelli. If you're not sure what to get, get that anything with the brisket absolutely delicious beautifully marinated and seasoned very tender. They are a little pricey but Not unreasonably so . Glad to have a healthier food option in the neighborhood. I have a lot of food allergies and the staff That's kind and accommodating and honored my request to leave certain things out. There packing is great . There to go bags are so cute. I appreciate that there reusable. The only reason I gave atmosphere a 4 is the seating option could be a little better. There a newer location from my knowledge,I'm guessing so hopefully over time they can fix this. The first time I sat outside and I had two kids from the neighborhood fighting with each other running around my table. So this time I decided to stay inside. The larger table seemed to always have more people and the one table they had for a smaller amount of people was kind of towards their entrance to their kitchen area and the chair was a little unstable ( one of the outdoor chairs) I understand they're a small store, It's kind of like healthy, fast food. So I can't grip too much about that. But hopefully over time they can get some better seats . All in all, they're definitely worth...

It was our first time visiting Lucy's and it was ok, I guess. We had the summer roll, lemongrass bahn mi and smoked brisket pho for lunch.

The summer roll is perfect especially with the peanut sauce. The bahn mi needs a little work around the portioning so the flavors will be harmonious. As you can see in the photo, the bahn mi we had was a little overwhelming in size that a bite can be either just protein or pickled veg which is a little frustrating because you want to get all that flavor when you dig into it.

The smoked brisket pho doesn't have the smokey flavor, and leans more on the braised side. Maybe we're not used to this version of Pho, perhaps a northern region version or something, but we'd definitely come back and give it...

Got the tofu bahn mi and shrimp summer rolls. Bahn Mi was ok. Would've been fine with it, but for the expensive price ($14.95) it was very disappointing and small. Had to drench it in hot sauce to make it less bland. But the most disappointing were the summer rolls. Hard, mostly bland vermicili noodles, tiny tiny shrimp, and way smaller than the pictures let on. It was for sure pre-made who knows when and really expensive for the tiny things ($8.99). Spent over $26 in total which is a lot especially compared to all the other great places nearby. Rather go to G&D bodega a few blocks away and get a much more...
