Ngon

Finally a Vietnamese place in Fort Greene! And what a place. Ngon serves a delicious and fresh take on the Vietnamese classics and has repeatedly expanded their menu since they recently opened. The phở and cracked rice dish are superb. My personal favorite, the pork bun, is served with some of the most delicious marinated pork I’ve had.
When the person I spoke to on the phone misheard my bun order for a banh mi, they didn’t miss a beat and had the bun ready in 8 mins while I waited. You would think that the restaurants location under the BQE would be accordingly dingy, however, you step through the door into a serene zen space. Though small, it would be a more than pleasant space to eat your banh mi at the counter.
I fully recommend Ngon and couldn’t be happier with the new addition to the neighborhood.

I was so excited to find that this place is so close to my house! Having just moved from SF I’ve been craving Vietnamese and hand’t found anything too close until this place! The Bahn Mi was great (bread wasn’t too hard) and the Bun was perfect.

I will tell you the reviews dont lie, i would have never seen this place if i had not read the reviews. The grilled pork banh mi, is a meal all on its own. It is packed with very savory chunks of pork, pickled daikon, carrots, cilantro and a little heat from the sliced jalapenos. The bread was fresh and it had a nice crunch. I could have only wish it had a little more veggies and that the pork was cut into smaller pieces. Otherwise it is a great sandwhich for the price! I called ahead to order, as during lunch the place can get busy. When i walked into the store, there are 5 window seats with a small counter. On a day like today everyone was enjoying phở, i on the other hand just wanted a quick grab and go sandwhich. Best of all, this is the only Vietnamese take out in the area. Surely next door the Mexican place is one of my favorites that i always visit. However, i will keep you updated on what ever i try next at Ngon.

Excellent in every way. The only dish I’ve had is the Chicken Phở, and I can’t get away from it. I’ve ordered it at least 4 times. It’s very pure on the palate and has the authentic taste of a homemade meal. The broth is outstanding in a subtle way, non-​oily, not over seasoned, and smooth; the chicken too. The ingredients are fresh and the service is quick, patient, and friendly. Can’t wait try the rest of what they offer!

Authentic stuff, good phở broth. Fresh bread on the banh mi. Nice family run spot. Glad to have this nearby!

The quality of this place is consistently good. It is a small place but it is one of the healtier options in the area. There is really nothing in that radius that is even remotely appealing.
It is a very limited menu but the food is clean and delicious. I have tried lots of phở and this phở is very different. I’m so use to seeing a layer of fat floating on top of the soup but there is barely any fat in this delicous beef phở. I drank this soup without adding any hoisin/​shiracha sauce (which is what I normally do when I eat phở).
Their grilled pork bahn mi was very good. It was a good size and it taste fresh. The meat wasn’t tough, it had really good flavor. I don’t even like bahn mi that much but I would go back for this.
We need more places like this. Definitely a huge fan.

The ingredients: incredibly fresh and the highest of quality. The service: thoughtful, kind, meets the highest of standards. The food: you’ll pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming.
We live down the street and thank our lucky stars that Ngon moved into our neighborhood. It is our go to place now. We had several of the Banhmis and they were all perfect. The phở is delicious. The broth fragrant and elegant.
I went in there today and sat in their comfortable seating area waiting for our to-​go order. As I heard friendly voices in the back intermingled with laughter, I felt so good knowing that my food wasn’t just prepared with care but it was prepared by people who love what they do. You can taste that. Our meal was generous, affordable (such good ingredients at such wonderful prices), and the whole experience was impeccable.
Ngon, please say you’ll never leave us!
Stranger, please do your belly a favor and enjoy the goodness of this sweet family establishment.

Finally! A great addition to the neighborhood!
Friendly, family-​run Vietnamese take-​out with some counter seats for in-​house casual dining. Can’t wait to go back and order delivery all the time!

I’m so happy we have a great phở and banhmi place in the neighborhood! Such a nice family, and the food was excellent. The beef phở and the lemongrass chicken banhmi are delicious– the bread is crispy outside and soft inside like it should be, and they don’t overdo it on the sauce. Let’s keep this place in business!

So glad Ngon is in the neighborhood, eat at this restaurant often and support great food and family businesses!!!
UPDATE — We live in walking distance but they won’t deliver to us. However, they deliver to the building next to us? Sadly I won’t be able to eat here very often :(

I just tried Ngon for the first time. I ordered a pork bahn mi and it was delicious! Lots of pork on a nice fresh roll. Welcome guys, excited that you’re here!

Their phở is totally delicious! Not greasy, clean and nice-​looking chicken. I have been craving something like this in the neighborhood for 5 years and lo and behold, Ngon appeared one day on Park Avenue — a sight for sore eyes.
My expectations were surpassed with their totally authentic and traditional ginger and star anise broth. One of the best I have had — this place is the real deal.
Best addition to the neighborhood and look forward to working my way through their menu.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
This simple, clean, and most importantly delicious addition to the area is awesome. So awesome that after I ordered one thing, I went back later the same day to try something else. That’s the beef phở to start followed the lemongrass chicken. I recommend them both!
UPDATE: tried the Bahnmi, total win. Very large with bread that was crispy on the outside, yet incredibly delicate. Fillings were top notch. Flavor was great.

Excellent fresh food. Had the Com Tam and traditional Banhmi. Will certainly be back.

I love how clean and straight to the point this restaurant is! It’s such a great addition to the neighborhood and the owners are so sweet! Tasty, convenient, fast-​non-​fast-​food ethnic food in Ft. Greene, perfect combination :)

Ngon lives up to it’s name. It’s pretty damn good.
I’m Vietnamese, I’m from Cali and I can cook. I was really pleased to see Ngon is run by a Vietnamese family. I ordered the phở ga (chicken), com tam and steak banh mi. The banh mi is bigger than average, about the size of a hero. All were delicious. If you’re craving good Vietnamese food without any frills, this place will definitely satisfy you. I just discovered this place today and will be a repeat customer for sure.

This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in the city hands down. That’s coming from someone from Cali.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
Ah! I was so excited to try this place as soon as I saw it because they serve two of my favorite things: lemongrass chicken bahnmi and phở! They were both so rich in taste and PHOnomenal ! Seriously. This is definitely one of the better restaurants in the area and the food tastes so so authentic and the flavors will just leave you drooling (as I am wishing I had more). Thank you guys for blessing the neighborhood!

Oh hell yes. In a neighborhood stuffed with mediocre Thai and Japanese, this restaurant is a blessing. The lemongrass chicken banh mi was on point (light and crunchy baguette, incredibly flavorful meat, fresh veg) and I’m stoked to try everything else on the menu. Delivery was quick, prices are more than reasonable. The interior is clean and modern but seating is limited – i’m guessing they’re more of a delivery/​takeout spot. Thanks for classing up park ave, guys!

The menu as well as the location is very simple and clean. I’ve tried almost everything and it was all excellent but the phở is extra good. Really flavorful and complex broth, not like the cheap phở places loaded with msg, you actually can taste the anise and herbs. Leaves you feeling good.
