Little Kirin

Small in space huge on taste. Everything on the menu is the correct choice but it’s the Pho Sandwich that’s the stand out. Now please remember make it the full experience and add the broth for dipping. Very clean and owner is super hospitable. A beautiful addition to the East Village and of course, a change of pace from the typical burgers and pizza around the area.

Came here for the pho sandwich which was really tasty but very expensive at $18 and that's without the broth to dip in. Actually everything I ate here was overpriced. The pho sandwich was good and it's something to try once but not something I would pay $18 for again. I also got the tots which were whatever. And the fried Mantou was super yummy but such a tiny portion. You can get fried mantou in chinatown for much cheaper.

Great little spot with excellent food, fun style, interesting dishes. Really enjoyed the pho sandwich which is kind of their specialty. I would probably get something different next time but everything looked delicious.

Solid food bites when you are on the go in this exciting scenic area of The City. It is like a city within the City so you need food fuel. This is grab & go food fuel with good flavors. The Brisket Banh Mi is good with or without the Pho Broth but better with it. The Pho broth is clean, soft and has plenty of oniony deliciousness. We did not have to add the broth to the sandwich so we drank it. One would want a little cold so the broth could cure it. It was so good! The Chicken sandwich was thick and juicy but a little less razzle on the dazzle. Needed more seasoning. Still a decent bite. Overall, we would definitely return for more quick bites.

Cute little spot with a solid menu! The pho sandwich with dipping broth was delicious and it’s freaking huge. The jalapeños and broth really put it over the top. We also loved the salmon katsu po’boy (this was surprising, reminded me of a really good BLT), crispy chicken sandwich and the tater tots (love the pickled onion topping!). Def need to come back to try the rest of the menu!

I had the Pho Sandwich, and honestly it was fantastic. The flavors felt fresh and authentic, the meat was super tender. I got the Pho broth on the side to dip my sandwich and it completely elevated the sandwich. Without the broth, the sandwich is among my top 5, with the broth it might be somewhere around the top 3 sandwiches I've ever had.

The staff are nice and friendly but the food is mehhh. Not sure how this place got a 4.7-star rating on Google. I ordered a pho sandwich and soup for $25. The sandwich was just okay, and the soup was overly salty and didn’t have the authentic pho flavor it should. We dined in for about 30 minutes; there were customers coming in and out, but we were the only two Asians I noticed. As a Vietnamese, I wouldn’t recommend this place.
