Finally, a fleishig restaurant under the Bada"tz!
January 18, 2018 6:06 am

Shecheyonu v’kiyemonu! Finally we have a fleishig restaurant under the hashgocho of the Bada”tz! I can’t wait to eat there!

I think it’s a street vendor dessert.
Please look into it. It will draw s crowd.

well, i dunno

when the newness of the place wears off are there really enough lovers of this cuisine to keep the business going? my suggestion: Fill a hole that carries more of the possibility of long term success. an excellent vegetarian restaurant serving fabulous “pain- to- prepare” food would be a good place to start. it might even draw clientele from outside of the neighborhood. i’m not talking about yet another kosher milchikeh eatery; G-d knows there’s no shortage of those around, here or elsewhere for that matter.

Gluten free

Will there be gluten free noodles?

Pho is pronounced “fuh”
January 13, 2018 7:33 pm

Just saying…

my humble opinion
January 12, 2018 2:59 pm

The food looks so good!

A reliable hechsher
January 12, 2018 2:14 pm

To all the peanut gallery regarding the hechsher… Like it or not, there was a Din Torah in which Rabbi Braun and Schwei need to be involved with the Hechsher of CHK period. Both sides signed and submitted their acceptance of the Psak of the Beis Din of 5 members at whatever the Psak would be. It is unfortunate that people deny the outcome of the Din Torah and go against the ruling of the 5 member Zabla Beis Din! This matter is quite severe, see CHoshen Mishpat chapter 26. Until things are settled, Rabbi Braun and Schwei’s hechsher is… Read more »

Every time a new restaurant opens in CH, some people get enormous pleasure and taava from posting all kinds of snarky negative posts. yes, we know you are so great that you don’t want to eat there

Totally looking forward
January 12, 2018 12:02 pm

California bt living in crown heights a while, looking forward to trying it!!

Get a life
January 12, 2018 11:30 am

The trolls here commenting on the hechsher aren’t the type of people who eat in restaurants. More like eating cold Pizza in their grandma’s basement and commenting on stupid politics.

Great kosher supervision!
January 12, 2018 11:29 am

I fully trust Rabbi Braun’s hechsher and it is a big plus for this establishment!

So excited! Finally a Fleishig restaurant with a trustworthy hashgacha!
January 12, 2018 9:29 am

This is one of a kind! Hope it’s goin to be as good as it looks!

Seating and Lighting
January 12, 2018 9:06 am

I really hope that there will be floor seating. It bothers me that all these restaurants are using chairs and tables. Without them you can bring down your pricing in overhead costs and create a great ambiance for your customers. Also I agree with the LED lighting. an authentic experience would be great if we could have kerosene lamps which is softer on the eyes and the fumes make the food taste better. About the hecsher, don’t even get me started.

A nice change
January 12, 2018 8:56 am

We need more healthy choices; thank you!!

A lot of greens
January 12, 2018 8:51 am

With all the parsley, bok choy and other vegetables to check I would have preferred the OK or CHK to supervise the kashrout!

yup crown heights is
January 12, 2018 7:49 am

growing, meets the needs of the visiters

Crown heights
January 12, 2018 5:25 am

So nice not to have to shlep to Manhattan fur great food

The REAL CHK !!!!
January 12, 2018 5:19 am

If the food is as good as the Hashgocha, i’m in !!!!

Been waiting more than 15 years for kosher pho
January 12, 2018 2:32 am

I first learned about pho somewhere around 2000 when it became big in America, but have never seen it offered at any kosher restaurant, and it looks too complicated for me to try at home. I once knew a Vietnamese giyores and thought of asking her whether she made it, but could never gather up the chutzpah. Looking forward to finally trying it.

are there going to be gluten free noodles
January 12, 2018 1:34 am

?

fluorescent lighting?
January 12, 2018 1:27 am

A few of the recently-opened Crown Heights restaurants (the new sushi place, Prime sandwich) look lovely. But like a fair-sized subset of the human population, I find harsh lighting to be off-putting. So I have yet to walk into the aforementioned eateries. Phomen seems like an interesting, yummy introduction (despite the unfortunate moniker), I just hope there won’t be harsh LED or fluorescent lighting to keep me away. Good luck!

The Beis Din
January 12, 2018 12:09 am

As fsr as I know the place is under the supervision of the Crown Heights Beis Din and not under an individual rabbi.

Dissapointed
January 12, 2018 12:04 am

I thought that an eatery with ‘noodles’ in its name would provide good tasting, well portioned and affordable meals, the kind which you might bring home for the family when cooking wasn’t an option. I mean why else would you put ‘noodle’ in your name. But apparently, noodle joint is modern high class, and this is another food provider who intends to expand our food minds, because you can never have too many food experiences because you only live once and if having great food and in great variety isn’t living than what is life? Will wait for the next… Read more »

So glad to end my eating of fake noodles!
January 11, 2018 11:07 pm

Looking forward to some authentic ones now!

(Before I was only eating lokshen!)

Phô Real!
January 11, 2018 10:43 pm

Just Happy to have a place to eat Vietnamese food! Yum.

Great! My thoughts on he hechsher:
January 11, 2018 10:03 pm

I’m happy that this is opening.
About the hechsher complaints:
Every single hechsher has politics attached. Of you say this one does as well, I’d belive it, although I don’t know of any myself.
One thing I do know, I trust rabbi Braun’s hechsher standards fully! More machmir than most!
So why wouldnt you eat there because of some side politics that have nothing to do with Rabbi Braun’s high standards of hashgacha?

Looks wonderful
January 11, 2018 9:03 pm

Will there be take out? What will prices be like?

January 11, 2018 9:00 pm

If two people can eat here for under $50 they’ll be very successful.

January 11, 2018 8:58 pm

Really? Care to venture your name with that endorsment?

Hechsher
January 11, 2018 8:57 pm

I am a foodie and would love to try this place, but they got political with the Hechsher.

January 11, 2018 8:51 pm

exactly what i was thinking for months.
I think its a very akward name, especially for a Jewish Restaurant with CH Hashgacha. I’m glad im not alone.

Good luck though, it looks like a great menu,

Mmmm
January 11, 2018 8:50 pm

Can’t wait to dig in to that mushroom egg dish

Can someone list all the kosher restaurants in crown heights?
January 11, 2018 8:46 pm

Thanks

Hatzlacha rabba!
January 11, 2018 8:42 pm

Looking forward to this!

16 don't worry
January 11, 2018 8:28 pm

‘men’ in chinese means noodle and that’s where the Japanese got it from

Yay!!
January 11, 2018 8:26 pm

Looking forward to trying this out!! I can vouch that Rabbi Braun has the highest standards in Kashrus!

!!!
January 11, 2018 8:16 pm

Finally, a cool restaurant, one I actually want to go to see. THIS is what I’ve been waiting for in CH

MAzel tov
January 11, 2018 8:15 pm

Very nice. But why dident pick a hashoca like ok
Or chk.

I’m afraid I won’t see me there. But good luck.

CH is the place to be
January 11, 2018 8:14 pm

Jews of all types from all over NYC will come here for kosher ramen, banh mi and pho. Are you ready to welcome them!

everyone is talking about this at my work!
January 11, 2018 8:14 pm

…Happy its finally open!!

Name choice
January 11, 2018 8:08 pm

The name sounds like it’s “for men” =”pho men”
Are women welcome?

Looking forward to some kosher Asian ramen dishes!
January 11, 2018 7:57 pm

Yay! So excited!!!!!

Yay!!
January 11, 2018 7:52 pm

Will they be doing delivery??

Looks exotic and original
January 11, 2018 7:48 pm

Definitely would capture a certain audience who like really healthy food.
Good luck to all the competitors opening up next door

Chk
January 11, 2018 7:48 pm

But the imitator. Wish it was the real authentic hashgacha to go with the authentic food

woah!!!!
January 11, 2018 7:41 pm

that looks AMAZING!

cultural awareness
January 11, 2018 7:38 pm

pho doesn’t rhyme with so. It is more like “fuh’

It's ok
January 11, 2018 7:24 pm

Would have been better off with a non political Hechshet.

Finally
January 11, 2018 7:24 pm

Because there us no where to eat around here

Looking forward
January 11, 2018 7:23 pm

I heard such amazing things!!!
Can’t wait to try it, so unique
