We were surprised to find a Vietnamese restaurant in Dumbo while doing our Sunday walk, we promised that we will visit 'Em Vietnamese Bistro for dinner. Last night was that night, we trek to Dumbo on a rainy Saturday night. The place has a modern design and is spacious, we were seated at the back for the table for two. There are 2 pages of the menu, one for food and the other for drinks such as cocktails, wines, and local beers. We ordered the following dishes to share: 1. Crispy Vietnamese Spring Rolls made with pork, shrimp, carrots, glass noodles, onion, taro & wood-ear mushrooms, served with dipping sauce and lettuce. (We love wrapping our crispy rolls with lettuce before dunking it into the sauce). 2. Ly's chicken wings; Vietnamese Style fried chicken wings with garlic butter nuoc mam sauce topped with scallion and cilantro 3. Saigon-style lemongrass pork chops served with nuoc mam, cha (Vietnamese pork cake with mushrooms and vermicelli) over broken rice garnished with cucumbers, tomato, scallion oil, pickled carrots & daikon 4. Bo Kho (beef stew) Chef Ly's hearty take on the classic Southern Vietnamese Style Beef Stew featuring premium "gold coin" beef shank, lemongrass, ginger, coconut juice, onion, carrots, basil, and a touch of dairy. It's Beef Bourguignon made in Vietnamese Style. Served with Banh Mi on the side for dipping. The dishes came in a timely fashion and were freshly made. The beef stew stood out, it was flavorful, the meat melted in our mouths, and probably our newest favorite Vietnamese dish. With the delicious food, friendly customer service, and price point, this visit is not our last!

Came here on a Sunday evening for dinner after making a reservation. There was plenty of seating available, and we got seated after waiting briefly. We ordered the Goi Ga Nuang (grilled chicken salad) and 2 crepes, including a vegan one. The server came around to refill water, and the restaurant had a few tables around us seated with dim lighting and a calm ambiance.

I went to Em last weekend for lunch. The restaurant was packed, and parties kept trying to walk in and being told about the long wait! We got lucky walking in at the exact right time. The space is nicely decorated, open and bright, with a lot of counter seating along the edges for walk ins. I tried the following dishes: Pho Ga (2/5): I did not like this pho. The broth was weak and not flavorful. The spices were not well imparted into the broth. The noodles were fine, and the chicken was fine. I would not order this again. Com Ga Nuong (4.5/5): This was an excellent com ga nuong. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so tender and flavorful. The rice was also. really tasty. My one issue with the dish was that the nuoc cham was too sweet and had a too-low ratio of fish sauce to water / sugar for me. Overall, I had a good experience at Em and would return to try other dishes. However, I would not get the pho again.

Pretty solid Vietnamese restaurant in DUMBO. I've never had the pho so I can't comment on it but they do a pretty solid job of the other Vietnamese dishes available. Lemongrass clams were briny and fragrant. Banh xeo was made super crisp and packed with goodies. They don't give enough lettuce/herbs but they just give you more upon asking. I do wish they had a larger variety of herbage but that's unlikely to happen in the neighborhood. Staff are polite and quite accomodating and the price is about in-line with what I would expect which makes this a pretty solid go-to spot for the neighborhood.
