One of the best banh mi I have ever had. The 14 hour brisket is immaculate. Great people watching and crunchy bread

One of my regular take-out spots deserves a review! If you're a meat-eater, you can't go wrong with the smoked beef brisket pho. Typically, I order it with extra veggies and extra meat so that I can make a few meals out of it. The trick is to ensure the noodles are separate. I've tried the lemon grass chicken but don't believe it's as strong as the smoked beef.

I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. It's pretty hard to find genuinely good pho or Vietnamese food in general in NYC (especially anywhere near Williamsburg) but Lucy's is a gem. The pho is superb, super flavorful and the noodles are perfectly chewy (They also have a vegan option which is shockingly good, I would normally never recommend). But in my opinion the one dish you MUST try is the smoked brisket banh mi. From the outside, you'd never guess a humble little spot like this can pack so much flavor and umami into its brisket, but you'd be wrong. I bring my friends from out of town here to try it, that's how good it is. Also I have to give love to the staff and owners here. Always super kind and welcoming. And last thing I'll say is that the Vietnamese coffee and black teas here are also super yummy (and they even have beer too for late night snacks). Such a huge fan of this spot and can't speak highly enough of it!

This spot has pretty decent pho in a cute shop. Although a bit pricey, the pho is exactly what you'd expect; no frills. I ordered the lemongrass chicken pho

First time I ever had smoked brisket in pho. It was delicious. It came with plenty of noodles and some greens and mushrooms. I just wish there was a little more broth. $16 for a hardy bowl of soup. Of course, it's Brooklyn, so it came in a biodegradable cornstarch bowl, but with a plastic spoon. The place has seating for about 18. You can see into the kitchen, and it looked immaculate! My order came out fast

I sometimes pass by this store thinking if I should go in or not and thank god I finally went in. I ordered the brisket pho and boy was it delicious! The best brisket I've ever tasted in my life! Good thing I ordered the brisket and it was my first time! They gave a lot of brisket so that's a plus! Brisket was juicy and tender! You can taste the aroma of the meat inside your mouth! The noodles were good and fresh! I'm going to come back and try it again! So delicious!! A very clean and cozy place when you enter. You can either order food through the self kiosk or in person. Service is fast too! Food came out pretty quick! A must try!

Lucy's has expanded to four locations as of this writing. I stopped into this outpost in North Williamsburg for a Labor Day lunch. My girlfriend and I shared a smoked brisket pho and a can of IPA (it's a deal to get both). The backyard patio was cool and breezy so we posted up and got to munching. I had high expectations and Lucy's pho managed to surpass them. The bowl was full of goodies: tender brisket, baby bok choy, white onions, green onions, mushrooms, noodles, and that uniquely peppery broth. The brisket was sumptuous and rich. Some of my favorite bites were the ones where I got white onion and green onion in the same mouthful. After the big pieces were all gone, I sipped the broth, using my spoon to collect all the little nibbles at the bottom. This pho demands to be devoured in its entirety. Service was friendly and fast, prices were reasonable for the quality of food. The can of beer, Ebbs No. 3 IPA, is an awesome selection for the combo deal. I recommend the backyard for your group of 4-6 cool friends. Now I want to check out the Grand Street location just to continue enjoying this great food.
