They gave us a special treat in honor of our anniversary. It was extremely relaxing and the food was deliciously healthy. The staff was attentive and I really felt like I was in a Manhattan restaurant.

Go vegetarian, please.
March 12, 2018 3:52 pm

We need a really nice vegetarian restaurant here more than we need yet another fleishikeh restaurant, even if it serves a variety of noodles rather than rice as a side dish.

This is great!!

I was so excited when visiting crown heights and noticed ur restaurant that was opening soon. I’m so happy for frum ppl to be able to experience the amazing cuisines of Asia. How about a kosher indian next? 🙂 my only suggestion after looking at ur menu is to open this to vegans and vegetarians – there’s nothing like an amazing vegan pho full of veggies and tofu. So healing! Tastier than chicken soup and way healthier;) lots of luck!!! Good job:)

Great hechser!!!!

I am very happy finnally there is a meat restaraunt that I can eat at with a good hechser that is strictly kosher and 100 percent lubavitch shcita!!kol hakavod!!finnally!

Good luck

My only advice is have someone proof read your menu before you print the ones you use after the soft opening…

Fantastic! (Plus analysis on negative comm)

Kudos on developing and introducing a novel experience in Kosher dining. Wish you tremendous Hatzlacha! – Gashmiyus? – As much as some might be disappointed with the gashmiyus trend, that has to do with chassidim’s behavior. But the restaurants are doing a great good deed by making available gourmet food on a Glatt Kosher level, it is boon and encouragement for Yidden from all over and all walks of life to keep kosher. – Negative Comm? – It is plainly obvious that these are political, because the restaurant is not using “their” favored Hashgocha. – Bottom line – Keep the… Read more »

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. The only one doing any bashing (the word appears multiple times in your comment) and even threatening at the end – is you. Let’s keep things civil.Opposing views are healthy.

Get real

#11- The Rebbe would only be proud of an Asian Kosher restaurant if he is proud of you posting on the Internet.
Both are signs of the society and times in which we currently live. If they are used for positive purposes, the what’s the problem? If you don’t like Asian food, then simply eat something else.

Why the negativity?
March 11, 2018 7:49 pm

It’s a Hechsher in the CH community which, like it or not, many people use. When we decide to support our own community, we will all prosper!

hashgacha.
March 11, 2018 5:47 pm

Looks really great but unfortunately I will not be eating there due to the hashgacha. I wish you lots of luck but I really think you should look into other non controversial options, people do not want to support machloikes. I think this hechsher is a bad business decision.

coming up:troy avenue.
March 11, 2018 5:13 pm

the next izzy’s.i can see troy turning into kingston.

Prices
March 11, 2018 5:01 pm

I assume the menu showed is not a full menu, and there are some more plain ramen soup options at lower price than$19 a serving. Looking forward to trying it, at least once.

Its not pho men, its pho people

Hechsher
March 11, 2018 3:37 pm

Thank you for going the extra mile and getting the Hechsher that is known to be more careful and strict.

It is very nice to be able to eat at another eatery in Crown Heights, for those that are a little Machmir the options are very minimum, with barely a handful of restaurants with a good Hechsher around Crown Heights, so it really is nice to have another option.

I’m sure this is giving the Rebbe a lot of Nachas!

Thank you and much Hatzalcha!

Once upon a time
March 11, 2018 3:31 pm

A rabbi was walking down the streets of Manhattan when a young man invited into his restaurant.the Rabbi says I can’t go in! why not says the young man, come inside let me show you something. The young man goes behind the counter and points to a picture of a revered rabbi on the wall and says to the rabbi, you question my restaurant? do you know who this man is in the picture? That is my grandfather! Says the rabbi to the man: if you were hanging on the wall and your grandfather was behind the counter I would… Read more »

This isn't the first restaurant with this hechsher

Why all the bashing Rav Braun is a great rav always available to answer questions yesher koach

Long Live Free-Market Capitalism
March 11, 2018 2:59 pm

Thank God we live in a country in which the government doesn’t force us to purchase anything against our will (the exception being Obamacare, but Trump got rid of that too).

Those who feel these prices are excessive have the CHOICE to not dine here.

Thank you Friedike Rebbe for choosing to migrate to AMERICA and not to some communist country.

Wishing the owner of this establishment much success.

March 11, 2018 2:44 pm

Unfortunately it’s not the chk the Rebbe approved of. It’s the lite version and, most frum in Towner won’t eat there either.
Unfortunately, Rav Schwei has no control anymore. It’s really only R Braun these days, who dictates to his silent partner.
The hashgacha speaks to the yuppies, uppies and others who really don’t care anymore. Sad day for Crown heights

I'm very happy for you and wish you lots of hatzlacha
March 11, 2018 1:59 pm

Tho will not eat that hashgacha so stay away from controversy and change hashgacha before you open

Hatzlacha
March 11, 2018 1:25 pm

Glad it’s a good hashgocha

Yay
March 11, 2018 1:12 pm

Sounds like an awesome menu, better start saving money

Agreed!!
Looking forward

Looks great!

Everything looks delicious! Can’t wait to come eat here .

To number 10
March 11, 2018 12:56 pm

We never ate this in America.

Yum!
March 11, 2018 12:27 pm

why is everyone bashing this restaraunt? people work hard to make these things- at least show some support

Hechsher, Price
March 11, 2018 12:22 pm

It’s under both Rabbis Schwei and Braun – not sure why only one is specified here.

As far as the prices, it’s not a pizza shop, and it’s not Empire Grill. It’s not designed to be a place you go to with eight kids. But for what it is, which is a sit-down place a couple can go to for a nice meal, those prices are actually quite reasonable.

Everyone chill
March 11, 2018 11:58 am

Why all the bashing A yid is working to make parnassa and offering you a experience you can’t get in the kosher world Either enjoy it or eat at home but no need to bash just wiwosh him success and move on It’s a awesome idea and he will do very well Crown heights has become a kosher food establishment For those who seek more refined dining If not for you it’s ok I predict he will surprise everyone with his success But to all those ppl bashing Don’t come later asking him to donate to your kids school or… Read more »

im excited to try this! something new and interesting. Best of luck to the owners

Amazing Hechsher
March 11, 2018 11:16 am

Rabbi Braun is extremely careful with Kashrus and I personally trust his Hechsher more than any others! Be careful before you bash a respectable Rov!!

To No.9
March 11, 2018 11:03 am

I’m with you!!

wow did we change
March 11, 2018 11:02 am

WOW!! ANOTHER restaurant in Crown Heights.

Do you really think this will make the Rebbe Proud?

We never ate this in Russia, why start now ?

Looking forward to eating there. The killjoys can stay at home!

Out of town
March 11, 2018 10:40 am

Most people from out of town will not eat from this Hashgacha

Potential customer
March 11, 2018 10:25 am

Will the owners be wearing yarmulkes?

No Hechsher?
March 11, 2018 10:03 am

Hope its authentic CHK.

Pho men
March 11, 2018 9:58 am

Is It for women too?;)

Kidding food looks awesome nice I can see such heart and soul put in those plates!

The chossid
March 11, 2018 9:53 am

Don’t waste your money , it’s simply too expensive and the Kashrus ???????

Looks yum!!!
March 11, 2018 9:33 am

Can’t wait to come

Expensive
March 11, 2018 9:09 am

After tax and tip, the average customer is not spending less than $25-$30 for a bowl of ramen/drink. That’s $60/couple. These prices are not what a typical frum family can afford.
