"What It Is: A casual Vietnamese restaurant in an attractive Greenpoint space Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, First/Early In The Game Dates When new restaurants open in Greenpoint, you usually don’t encounter too much of a wait. But when we showed up at Di An Di - a new Vietnamese spot - a week after it opened, it was a different story. We waited over an hour, and the good news is it was worth it. We ate grilled pork summer rolls, sesame chicken salad, a Vietnamese “pizza” with a grilled crispy rice paper crust, and one of the best bowls of pho we’ve had in NYC. We’re already trying to figure out when we can go back and eat it again. The Verdict: We haven’t been this excited about a new Vietnamese restaurant since Hanoi House. It’s now on the Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"You’ll feel like an extremely lucky person to be eating any of the five bowls of phở at Di An Di. But the phở thìn hà nội is the one we keep coming back for. It’s packed with tender brisket, noodles, and at least two large handfuls of scallions, along with an egg yolk on top—and it could easily be shared amongst four people. We recommend you hoard as much of it for yourself as you can." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano
"If you're reading this and you still haven’t been to Di An Di, we hope you’re having a nice day, and we also hope you stop reading this and go to Di An Di. Ideally, you'll bring a few friends to this Vietnamese restaurant and tackle as much of the menu as you can. But if you don't have anyone who currently wants to eat with you, a bowl of the brisket phở at the bar is an excellent solo dining choice." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
