I really liked this place! Bf and I were trying to snag something at WenWen but they were booked for the night so our next stop was here. We previously had had Madame Vo and really enjoyed the modern/fusion take on Viet food and thought why not. For a Friday night, the wait was around 1 1/2 hours but we had plenty to do in Greenpoint so it was no biggie (this was around 6:30pm). They texted us when our table was ready and only hold it for 10 minutes so be sure to be close by otherwise 10 minutes is TIGHT lol We had gone to Nura to get drinks so we called them to let them know we were about ~15 away but would be there ASAP. Super understanding and had a table ready when we got there. We ordered the crispy spring rolls, rice paper salad and the chicken pho. I loved the spring rolls! They were so flavorful and delicious. The basil was extremely fresh and the crunch from the lettuce was the cherry on top. The rice paper salad was interesting, definitely different for me. I didn't love the texture of the rice paper but I loved the flavoring (lime, fish saucey) and the jerky was delicious. The chicken pho was exactly what you would expect, true comfort. The portion was rather large although it looked small initially. Overall a really lovely meal! The bar area is pretty small but they have lots of tables and space. The decor is fun and welcoming. Would try it out for a casual bite! It gave off a dinner with friends atmosphere or a casual Viet dining spot.

The dishes are more expensive than your usual Vietnamese restaurant. But it's because they are trying a modern take on traditional dishes. The lamb belly was amazing. The dish is so flavorful - the meat tender and moist, sizzling with vegetables when it came out. You wrap it yourself with rice wrap and veggies. Also tried their pho with the raw egg. To be honest, I didn't really see what the raw egg added to it and the broth needed more spice and flavor. It wasn't bad for the experience but if you're going for pho I would go somewhere cheaper with better broth.

The upside: literally everything else. The restaurant is adorable and covered in greenery. The staff is nice and helpful. And the food is incredible. I highly recommend the crispy spring rolls and the Chá Cá Là Vong (smoked turmeric hake with rice paper). The drinks were delicious too. Definitely get the relief, recovery, reform cocktail.

My friend and I ordered the beef pho and the Vietnamese bun with lemongrass pork. Both dishes were delicious. I note that the pho is a little untraditional; I'm used to raw sliced beef being served with pho but Di and Di's pho serves it with fully cooked beef. Di and Di's pho also comes with a homemade sauce that's a little different than the standard seafood sauce/sriracha. Definitely worth a try!

Best modern #Vietnamese food I've had so far in NYC! We started off with the mango chili cocktail and their hot toddy with Ube whipped cream, which was very unique and delicious. In terms of appetizers we got their spring rolls which was good, but the start of the show was definitely the lamb belly (incredibly tender and fun to eat in the wraps) and the beef pho whose soup was so well developed that I didn't even add any of their housemate sauces to it. 5/5, would definitely come back

The only establishment in maybe all of New York that would not let me...stand at the bar?It wasn't even packed? Just a typical Thursday night? I simply asked if I could join some friends at the bar and at first they "couldn't find their reservation" and then once I physically pointed to my friends they had another excuse lined up about "no standing room". Lol, literally such a strange excuse. Anyways.

was so excited to try this restaurant after hearing so many good reviews from my friends. It definitely did not disappoint!! Firstly the hostess and overall wait staff were so nice and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful, love the fresh: modern tropic vibe. We sat at the bar and was great to see the bartenders at work. Had the gin passion fruit, which was super refreshing and the vodka/cold brew/condensed milk which reminded me of a coffee liquor... was like a spiked milk tea. Also really good! Started with the grilled rice paper mushrooms, soo good. Mushrooms were so fragrant. And the spring rolls.. it was also good but not out of the world. I think I prefer the basic spring rolls you can get at your local viet place. Also had the sizzling lamb belly.. wish the lemongrass was more prominent but the execution was great. You're encouraged to build your own rice paper/ lettuce wrap etc. Finished with a beef pho and the soup was delicious. Careful as the homemade hot sauce/sriracha was sooo spicy!!! will def be back!

The beef was pre-cooked/grilled and semi-burnt. The noodle was over-cooked and soggy. There's a raw egg yolk in the soup. They don't offer bean sprouts as a veggie to put in the pho.

I'll keep this short by saying just go to any of the Chinatowns in the city instead. The 2 stars are for the ambiance (bright, light, airy) and the lovely service (warm, friendly, helpful).
