Downtown Brooklyn: November 2007 Archives

Looks like the already excellent Nicky's is adding a feather into its excellence cap with the addition of pho on the menu for the cold weather months. From Jon, our pho-loving correspondent:

It seems that Nicky's Vietnamese is expanding their menu for the winter with the addition of Pho. This will only be available for dine-in customers as they feel that Pho loses something in the delivery and they don't want to sacrifice quality. Being among the first customer, they gave me a bowl of the beef Pho on the house, and it was as good as or better than any I have ever had. Their version is somewhat light on the star anise but is altogether an excellent, beefy noodle broth accompanied by the standard plate of basil, sliced chile peppers, bean sprouts and a slice of lime. While I only sampled the beef version, they mentioned having chicken and pork chop pho available as well. Hopefully they will just decide to keep it year round as it is quite tasty and as far as I know the only place in the neighborhood that serves it right now.
