New York City has several Vietnamese restaurants and cafes serving sinh tố — Vietnamese fruit smoothies. Bambu in Chinatown and Le Phin in the East Village are among the top spots for these sweet, creamy drinks.
Bambu top-pick
Bambu is a Vietnamese dessert and drink chain in Chinatown that serves excellent smoothies. Their avocado smoothie is rich and creamy, made with condensed milk and ice. They also offer durian, jackfruit, and mango smoothies. A perfect treat on a warm day.
Le Phin best-value
While primarily a coffee shop, Le Phin also serves Vietnamese-style smoothies including avocado and tropical fruit blends. Their drinks are made fresh with real fruit and condensed milk, giving them that authentic Vietnamese thickness and sweetness.
Hanoi House hidden-gem
Hanoi House's drink menu includes Vietnamese-style smoothies. Their smoothie offerings are well-executed and pair perfectly with their savory dishes. A good option for a full meal with a drink.
