5ive Spice Taco & Banh Mi New York Reviews from The Last Year
I was a little skeptical when I saw they were making Bahn
I was a little skeptical when I saw they were making Bahn Xeo as a small hand held taco but I was pleasantly surprised. I would give this place 4 1/2 stars. Traditionally banh xeo is the Vietnamese version of a crispy crepe or folded pancake where the outside is light, thin and crispy and in the inside has sauted pork, shrimp and bean sprouts. You would then take a small bit of the banh xeo and have it in a lettuce wrap. What they have done is a reverse lettuce wrap where the banh xeo is on the outside and it is filled with lettuce, pork and 2 huge shrimps. The banh xeo/taco wasn't crispy but the flavors were great. I didn't really taste any pork in there but I didn't mind because the shrimps were big and nicely grilled. We also ordered the mango salad and it was so good! It had shredded mango, jicama, cucumber and grape tomatoes with some minced dry shrimp sprinkled throughout the salad. Crunchy and refreshing! Both dishes had authentic Vietnamese flavors and the nuoc mam cham/dipping fish sauce that they had for the tacos and used for the mango salad was perfect. Some places tend to make it too sweet or not salty enough but this place did it right. Too bad I'm leaving NYC today or else I would definitely come back here to try more of their food.
Great attentive service, the food was delicious (recommend
Great attentive service, the food was delicious (recommend the tofu banh mi- hot)! Also, a working air conditioner! Great spot for kids or with a group.
Not appropriate for work functions.
Do not come here with your office or colleagues. We had a celebratory dinner here for a professional working group. It was scorching hot outside, and the restaurant was empty inside. I was shocked when we were seated outside, but we did not have a reservation, so I figured the restaurant was busy. The restaurant remained empty the entire evening and could have accommodated us. The absence of hospitality was definitely because our party had diners of color. Our group was in suits and professional attire, so it was particularly cruel to make us sit outside. We all had to remove articles of clothing to avoid passing out from heat exhaustion. Meanwhile, the air-conditioned 5ive Spice sat empty inside. Bias in the Asian community leveled against diners of color in NYC is a serious issue that is not often discussed, and it lives unspoken in the experiences of patrons like me. My receipt is attached so this review doesn't get taken down again by Yelp's money-hungry staff. One of the F5ive Spice managers tried to get rid of this review because I placed it on their 3rd Ave location instead of the Mulberry St location. I just discovered that this loophole existed on Yelp, where business owners could get rid of unfavorable reviews if they had multiple pages for a single chain. I will be sharing this vital information on Yelp's BBB page.
Stopped in on a whim just walking around.
So freakin glad we did. Got 2x chef recommend items, the braised short rib banh mi and the beer battered tacos. Both were incredible and honestly will try to come back in a city full of options. Melanie our server is so sweet and definitely added to the over all experience!
Great food and great service from Melanie! Got the brisket
Great food and great service from Melanie! Got the brisket bahn mi and beer battered fish tacos and both were delicious. Sautéed broccoli was also a great compliment on the side. Excited to come back and try other options in the menu.

Amazing.
We came on a whim after an afternoon at the museum of ice cream. It is great for large groups and kids. Our server had excellent recommendations and the food came out quickly.

This place is great! The food has TONS of flavor, and you get great portions for the cost. We had the chicken Vietnamese tacos, spring rolls, and Bahn mi, and we highly recommend! Will definitely come back when in the area.

Incredible! Authentic Vietnamese in a rice crepe taco, delish. Great service, basic ambiance, you can eat outdoors.
I had the 5 spice pho.
Went in with no expectations as this was my first time. It was delicious! Good portion size, very flavourful, meat was tender. For beverages, I had the watermelon limeade. It was sp refreshing. The service was great. Really nice spot. I foresee more visits
Coming back here for a second time and eating in person, I
Coming back here for a second time and eating in person, I was much more impressed by this spot. The service was quick and it was easy to sit down on a Saturday night. The dumplings we got were solid but nothing special, but I opted for the tacos which were quite tasty! I loved how they made the tofu feel like a normal taco filling and all the Viet flavor influences were really well done. $16 for two tacos isn't cheap but these were pretty good and unique so makes sense!
Food was delicious! The bun Bo hue (spicy pork noodles) was
Food was delicious! The bun Bo hue (spicy pork noodles) was very flavorful and had a clear broth. Definitely recommend if you're craving Vietnamese food in SOHO!
This is by far the best PHO I've ever had.
I don't eat meat so I get the veggie pho and the broth is so delicious and savory. It's a big pretty big portion. The staff is quick and helpful. Melanie helped us and she was really nice and offered suggestions that were delicious. This has been my go to for the last three years and this is the first place my now boyfriend and I had our first date. It's a tradition to come here every anniversary.
The staff are quite pleasant and ensured our visit was
The staff are quite pleasant and ensured our visit was enjoyable at the SoHo Five Spice located. My girlfriend loves the vegan pho and I choose the fish tacos this visit. One of the best decision in my life. Absolutely delicious!!
Loved our late lunch at 5ive Spice.
the braised beef short rib tacos were tender and the fish bahn mi was light and flaky. Brussel sprout side was next level. Our server Melanie was super helpful with the menu and service was prompt.

I live in Philadelphia near much great Vietnamese food but this place was very unique and delicious. Rooster wings, dumplings, summer rolls, Vietnamese tacos, brussel sprouts all excellent! They accommodated my chotic group of seven people including kids. Melanie was a fantastic hostess/Waiter!

Amazing service and great ambiance! Highly recommend! Our server Melanie was very nice and attentive
I always come here for the pho because the soup is so well
I always come here for the pho because the soup is so well seasoned, light, clean, and flavorful. This time I got the 5ive Special which came with maybe less noodles but lots of beef. The soup was mild but a bit on the sweet side. The beef was very tender and malleable. I also tried the watermelon limeade which was refreshing but very sweet with the faint hint of watermelon.
This is one of the best viet restaurants I've been to in
This is one of the best viet restaurants I've been to in New York by far. The food was so good and the portions were very generous, the bahn mi in particular was very worth it. Our waitress, Melanie, was very friendly and attentive to us and overall the ambiance and presentation paired really well with the beautiful food.

We got the 5pice special pho and brisket banh mi and they were super good, highly recommend the Ube iced latte! Thanks for the excellent service melanie!!!
Overall: 3.
5/5 I decided to visit again after having a great experience the first time. The first time I had the 5ive Spice Special(4.5/5), which had a mild, yet fragrant broth that wasn't overly salty. I loved the texture in the Ban Xeo Short Rib Taco(5/5) and the overall flavor, so I looked forward to ordering it again! Lemongrass Porkchop Pho (2.5/5) Thinking I'd try something different this time, I ordered the Lemongrass Porkchop Pho, which was a mistake sadly. It was not bad but the broth was too sweet for my liking and it could have been more flavorful. The Porkchop lacked lemongrass flavor and was dry. If you like lemongrass porkchop, I think it would tast my e better in the banh mi or with vermicelli. Bahn Xeo Short Rib (4/5) The braised short rib bahn xeo was yummy, but fell short compared to the one I had the first time. The wrap was thinner and less crispy than I remembered. But the braised rib was flavorful and quite tender. The restaurant has a nice bright ambience with a cute decor. Lav was our server and she was very attentive.

The food was so good but the service was even better! Shout out to Melanie for treating my party and I so well!
Service was A+.
Very, very attentive and nice. The food was good. Not bad, not meh, not great, just plain good. A solid B. Very cool hidden bathroom. Would absolutely go back and try something different because everything was quality and again, the service being so great is a good sign for the kitchen too, if they're taking so much pride in being so good.
My go to viet place in the city; I come here all the time.
The prices are pretty affordable, and all their food is absolutely delicious. The pho (omg the broth is so clean but flavorful), the vermicelli, the banh mi, the banh xeo are all so tasty and the spring rolls are one of my favs I've ever had. I love the Vietnamese coffee too. Service is great; everything comes out pretty quickly and the waiters/waitresses are all so kind.
Visited on a thursday night around 6:30pm.
Not much of a crowd inside. Service was pretty quick i actually got my food before my drinks. I ordered the shaking beef. The waitress asked noodle or salad so I went with salad. I was going to order rice but I guess they were out since it wasnt an option for the night. Beef was okay, it was a bit tough to eat. Also it wasnt much for the pricetag. Ive ordered the same dish in chinatown and got an entire plate of beef vs my salad which came with 8 pieces. I also ordered the Pika Yuzu which was pretty disappointing. It tasted premade like it was maybe sitting in a pitcher? Not really any hint of alcohol. By about 8pm the place was dead inside. I probably would not return to this spot.
Was around the area looking for a bite to grab before
Was around the area looking for a bite to grab before heading to my airbnb. My sister was grabbing food a few doors down but it didn't catch my attention. I walked into 5ive Spice and Melanie was sooo happy to welcome me in despite them closing soon. I ordered pho for takeout and although she made great recommendations for things on the menu I decided to play it safe and order a simple beef pho. I didn't expect too much from this place but man this is the best pho I've had in sooo long. So flavorful. I'm so happy I got to try this place before heading home. I fly home tomorrow. Everything was packaged with such care. She let us sit while we waited and was kind enough to serve us some water. She really went above and beyond even though we were simply taking out. Food was ready quick and was still nice and hot when I got to my airbnb 45 mins later. Thank you so much! Ps: My sister and my aunt decided to order from here after I convinced them and their banh mi was SOOOO good.
Very average.
Based on the reviews I was hoping to love the pho here, but it just was lacking flavor and was overpriced for the amount of meat and noodles. I will say the inside of this restaurant is beautiful and the service is good!
I am so excited that this place expanded from brooklyn to
I am so excited that this place expanded from brooklyn to the city! I am in love with this pho place although its not like the traditional pho, it has a twist of its own. Very spacey and cute restaurant also has outdoor seating too. The service and atmosphere was amazing as well What we ordered: Rooster Wings (6 pieces for $13): wings were really crispy topped with sweet and spicy glaze sauce. Loved the combination. Spring Roll (4 for $11) cant go to a viet place and not order the spring roll. Love this, had the right amount of meat. Summer Roll (2 for $10) loved it, the skin of the roll wasn't too thick. Would definitely try this Braised Short Rib Pho ($20) this is my good to here! The broth is so flavorful and the braised short rib is so soft that it melts in your mouth. PS if you eat it the next day it is a bit oily... not great reheat value. But I love it
Overall yummy if you're into Vietnamese fusion food.
Their egg rolls are unique and a must try!
* Take out via DoorDash * 5ive Spice's Lemongrass Chicken
* Take out via DoorDash * 5ive Spice's Lemongrass Chicken Pho at $21 was a bit more expensive than the competitors, but I decided to give it a try based on the positive yelp reviews. Overall, I was not disappointed. The lemongrass chicken was cooked well, high quality lean breast meat. The broth was not the most flavorful that I've had, but seemed healthier and lighter, which I appreciated. The delivery came well packaged, with a the vegetables and broth packaged separately from the noodles and broth, which were delivered in a large plastic bowl/container I could use to mix all the ingredients. Would order again!
Food was average.
We had the dumplings and wings. The service and ambiance was good. But will not be coming again.
I would definitely return to this experience! The food was
I would definitely return to this experience! The food was really good and everything we had was yummy. The brussels sprouts were the highlight of the meal. The service was the only reason for the four star rating rather than the five star. It was a busy day and so our table wasn't cared for fully. However, it's a great place to eat!! And the secret bathroom is really cool!
