Master Critic Review

Di An Di 8.6
Greenpoint
Di An Di is a modern Vietnamese restaurant and bar where a focused pho program sits alongside inventive small plates and cocktails in a leafy, design-forward room. Locals treat it as the neighborhood’s benchmark for Vietnamese noodles, especially the Hanoi-style beef and chicken pho, paired with snacks like fried daikon rice cake omelette.
Must-Try Dishes: Phở Thìn Hà Nội (Beef Pho Hanoi), Phở Gà (Chicken Pho), Bánh Bột Chiên (Fried Daikon Rice Cake Omelette)
Scores:
Value: 6.8 Service: 8 Consistency: 8.6 Food Quality: 9 Atmosphere: 8.8 Cultural Relevance: 8.5
What makes it special: A contemporary Vietnamese dining room where serious, Hanoi-style pho anchors a creative small-plates menu.
Who should go: Pho-focused diners who also want strong cocktails and design.
When to visit: Prime dinner hours for full menu and room energy.
What to order: Phở Thìn Hà Nội, phở gà, bánh bột chiên.
Insider tip: Share one oversized pho for the table alongside a spread of smaller plates instead of ordering one entrée per person.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally competitive on evenings and weekends, easier a few blocks east toward residential side streets.
Dress code: Smart casual fits the room—jeans and sneakers are fine, but the space leans polished and design-forward.
Noise level: Moderate buzz with music and conversation—intimate tables can still talk comfortably, but peak weekend dinners trend lively.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during prime hours; bar seats occasionally open faster for 2 tops.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait; walk right in most days if lunch service is active.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Good options—several small plates and a vegetarian pho with customizable toppings.
Vegan options: Limited but present—look to vegetable small plates and request modifications; broth options may not be fully vegan.
Gluten-free options: Some noodle dishes and salads can be gluten-free; pho broth and rice noodles help, but cross-contact is possible.
Best For
Better for: Design-forward dining, Hanoi-style pho clarity, and inventive Vietnamese small plates with cocktails.
Skip if: You want bare-bones, budget pho, ultra-quiet rooms, or a wide suburban-style entrée menu.
