I love me some Phở soup and shredded chicken sandwich. it’s always a toss up between Henry’s and Hancos here in the slope but I have to say it never disappoints. Delivery is super quick regardless of weather!

This is a review for Henry’s takeout. I ordered their traditional Bahn Mi and Phở Bo. I was in Vietnam last week where I had Phở for the first time and theirs is spot on… so you could say my expectations were high! The broth is rich, and it comes with a container of rice noodles topped with the beef, another of fresh herbs and bean sprouts, and condiments – exactly how I’d eaten it in Ho Chi Minh City. The Bahn Mi was better than the one I had at Hancos a few weeks ago but a lot richer than the ones I ate in Vietnam; I never came across one that used mayo but it was absolutely delicious. The baguette is slathered with pâté, some mayo, and topped with Vietnamese ham and ground pork. On top of this is a lightly pickled cucumber spear and pickled carrots. Best Vietnamese I’ve had so far in the city.

Take out order only. Very good for take out. The ban mis are very tasty, with that nice flaky bread you want from these types of sandwiches. I had the spicy pork and the traditional – both are good. I think Henry’s rivals Banhmigos as the best banh mi in the slope. I think I will order from it more regularly.

From the first bite you’ll be in heaven. The baguette is flaky and warm. The slaw is crunchy and fresh. Also the sandwiches take«about 4 minutes» to make so no ordering ahead necessary. Vegan Bahn Mi: They know what you gotta do. The sandwiches are vegan if you don’t get meat, mayo, or butter. Just tell them and they will guide you. They suggested I get the Tofu because the others get too dry without mayo/butter. The Tofu is amazing — seriously. It was so good I got another sandwhich — this time I went for BBQ pork and to make it wetter I asked for sriracha. So damn yummy. I wanted phở but I was going to a party in an empty apartment. Bahn mi = portable, phở = not. Oh and my roommate asked about peanuts(she’s allergic) and The classic doesn’t have them. I have also heard the bubble tea is amazing. I just haven’t had it. I wish Henry’s was closer to the subway — I’d go all the time. For now I’ll have to keep making up excuses to get to south slope.

The vermicelli salad with shredded chicken is delicious. The phở is satisfactory. Delivery is fast! I tried the other place, Henry’s is better…

There are 3 bahn mi shops on 7th ave between 9th&15th. While each has a good sandwich, Henry’s is the best. Just the right ratio of bread to veg to meat. Bread is always fresh and the stuffing is evenly distributed unlike Hancos, which puts all the meat in one side and all the veg on the other side. Henry’s sandwich seems a little smaller than Hancos but it just tastes better. Also when you ask for spicy, Henry’s does it right by adding jalapeño instead of just slathering on Siracha mayo. Skip the spring rolls — they’re only so so — and save your appetite for the sandwich.

Our whole family loves Henry’s! The Vietnamese sandwiches are fantastic. Best we found in New York so far. Our two young kids would be happy eating this every week.

Ordered delivery the other night when I was starving and wants something good and quick. I love banh mi and phở and have tried most of the delivery spots near by. Lotus has been my go to, and while their banh mi is good, the phở is just decent. To be fair, phở is tricky(some would argue impossible) to delivery. Henry’s is very good! I got the classic sandwich, spicy, and the beef phở. The sandwich was perfect and the phở was surprisingly good. I’ll definitely go back again.

We have been loyal customers at Henry’s ever since they opened. They have exceptional sandwiches that are made with fresh bread, which is delicious in every bite. The phở soup is great to have during the winter season and hearty in portions. Lastly, the bubble teas are just fantastic. When I first moved to NYC I could not believe people had bubble teas that contained tapioca; however, I have now been converted and am an avid bubble tea drinker because of Henry’s Also, they have punch cards for their loyal customers and you get free sandwiches or bubble teas after you hit a certain number which you easily achieve because they are so delicious! Go there and be happy…

Great banh mi, what more can be said. A small spot with about 5 seats. Nothing fancy. Best to take out. $ 6 sandwiches that are all delicious. Well deserving of the hype and positive reviews. Get the classic to your desired level of spice. One of the best I’ve had in NYC.

This place is great! The price makes me happy for the quality of food received. The bread is nice and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, just how I like it. I’ve had the BBQ pork sandwich here and the Grilled Pork sandwich as well. Both came out great and quickly too. I also had the kiwi tea as well as the lychee tea with boba. Both good but maybe a little too sweet. Small space and not a lot of seating if you plan on eating there.

Four stars for the food being exactly as desired — everything I’ve tried at least, but five stars for being a great deal and incredibly fast. Three delivery orders all showed up within 15 minutes to different locations within 1 mile. The first one was honestly so fast that I thought it had to be for someone else.

I was hoping to find a fav summer roll spot a short walk from home. So I tried Henry’s and I am sorry to say that I was disappointed. I found the roll to have too much rice vermicelli versus greens and shrimps. But most of all the smell coming from the shrimps was not good. I might give it a second try, maybe going during the morning instead of a late afternoon, but I am not sure. Price $ 4.50 for the two rolls Service ok, not the most smiling guys but Ok. Please, Please increase quality so I’ll come and see you often!

Henry’s is my go to delivery place for a quick, affordable and delicious dinner. Delivery is friendly, timely and the sandwiches always come warm. I love the grilled pork sandwich. The pork is never dry and great ratio of bread, pickled veg and meat so that every bite has a little bit of everything. I also get the summer rolls but I will admit they’re not even close to being the best. Like other Unilocalers said, it’s a little lettuce and a lot of vermicelli with the shrimp on top. It could definitely be better with some more variety in filling however, the peanut dipping sauce is delicious and why I can’t help but go back every time.

This place is cheap and fast for a solid banh mi. Always delivers on taste(this is a saucier banh mi, for those that are used to crispier, drier ones), although rarely do they give you enough jalapenos for spiciness. Still, will come here religiously for a filling nomwich. I would, however, advise against the brown rice dishes. I’ve had the grilled pork over brown rice and it’s just terribly reheated, dry and chewy and the flavor is whacked out and weird. Just not that appetizing.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest and I noticed that a couple different things about NY Vietnamese food. The coffee is pre– brewed(probably for convince) and spring rolls are called«summer rolls.» I ordered a iced coffee and classic banh mi. I was initially turned off by the very vague names for the items on the menu like, «chicken» or «pork» banh mi. I paid $ 6 dollars which seemed reasonable but considering the flavor was lacking. The classic had ground pork which doesn’t seem so classic to me, I’m use to the dat biet cold cuts. They gave me the option of spice level, I chose very spicy. I was upset to fit the spice to be no existent, a small line of sriracha at most. I would have preferred fresh chili peppers which is standard anywhere on the west coast. The pickled veggies were decent. The pâté was bland and I couldn’t taste the mayo. Although the bread wasn’t a classic French bread baguette and more of a hero sub bun, it was perfectly toasted and had a nice chewy/crunch ratio. Another thing that turned me off about Henry’s was the fact that I say the guy preparing my food add a bunch of half and half to my iced coffee. The coffee tasted fine but this gives me suspicions that the recipe use aren’t classic Vietnamese. Maybe it’s a NY thing or a regional Vietnamese(northern) thing? Overall all the factors to making a great sandwich add up to be quiet mediocre and faux banh mi in my book. If you’re looking for a quick bite this place is decent. If you’re looking for a legit viet sandwich, this place is faking it till they make it.

I really like this hole in the wall. The bubble tea was ok, but I thought the banh mi was actually pretty amazing. I love the combination of the fresh bread and veggies and meat. I just got the regular banh mi but in retrospect I wish I ordered the pork. Oh well, guess I will have to go back. I thought this was a great neighborhood option when you are in need of quick take out.

I still am keeping the 4 stars because their bahn mi sandwiches are exceptional but I wanted to make note of their summer rolls. Summer rolls– BAD! I ordered it for the first time a few days ago and I was disappointed because there was hardly any vegetables in it. It was 95% vermicelli noodles, a sheet of Boston lettuce, a few piece of cilantro, 4 pieces of shrimp, wrapped in a rice-paper wrapper. Usually, it comes with sprouts, carrots, a few basil leaves, and cucumber… Also the peanut sauce that they serve it with is too thick, so it’s hard to dip.
