I think it was House special or something like that. It was as rice mixed with chicken and egg that had a really tasty, sweet and filled with spiced roasted pork chop. absolutely delicious!
I’ve been coming to Sao Mai for over 5 years. It’s one of the best Vietnamese spots in town, is in a great neighborhood, and has affordable prices!
pho tai & vegetable spring rolls
The house pho lacked flavor.
Best, reliable, cheap pho in the East Village. Have never waited for a table, service is quick. Try the pork summer rolls and beef eye round pho (nice and lean). Yummm.
Best pho around!
Tasty and affordable! Plenty of condiments, great service and decent prices.
Delicious pho, tasty fresh rolls!
Huge bowls of delicious pho
sao mai has an incredible lunch special monday-friday! $10 will you your choice of appetizer, a huge bowl of pho AND a soft drink! heaven for a pho and diet coke addict! :)
Love the vegetarian pho, lots of fresh veggies.
When in doubt, Pho Sao Mai.
Best pho I've had in NYC thus far. It's Mama & Papa Pham approved, y'all!
Reliably delicious Vietnamese in the East Village. The lunch-only banh mi are winners, too.
Pho is excellent. Not too greasy, broth has excellent well rounded flavor. Meatballs are good. Bun bowls are clean,tasty, fragrant.

The papaya salad and the Pho Sao Mai are some of the best in the city!!
Robert Sietsema is convinced that Sao Mai may be the best Vietnamese restaurant New Yorkers have. Keep an eye out for the goi bo, banh cuon, and for all you naysayers, give the pho a shot.
Great Vietnamese, a bit more classy than most. Mussels were particularly excellent and the pho and spring rolls both good. Still BYOB.
Some dynamite pho
