What to order: 5 Spice Special Pho · Braised Short Ribs Pho · Bánh Xèo Tacos · Classic Vietnamese Banh MiFrom Google Maps reviews.
4.5 rounded up to 5 stars. Short rib Pho was great and filling. HUGE chunk of short ribs. Mexican corn was good and weird considering I'm eating at a Vietnamese joint. Watermelon drink was very refreshing.
5ive Spice is easily my go to spot for pho in Brooklyn. There are a few other options in the area, but nothing really comes close to this. The space is small but cozy, which honestly makes it perfect for a cold day when all you want is a hot, comforting bowl of soup. And that is exactly what you get here. The pho is rich, flavorful, and hits every time. They also have a pretty big menu with lots of options, so there is plenty to explore beyond just pho. One thing to note, it is cash only, so c
Portions here are big and tasty, good value for money. Tried the Bun Shaking Beef vermicelli but the 5ive special pho is the king! And its rooster wings are crispy and tasty! The vietnamese iced coffee & thai ice tea are strong , super good! But their iced tea is mild flavored as its a teabag infused col drink.
