About Grove Public House
Grove Public House is a quick-bite asian fusion spot in New York, NY, with a welcoming feel and a quick order-at-the-counter setup with a small patio. The kitchen leans into asian fusion done well, smoking their meats in a custom offset pit out back.
The signature item to try first is the Pho, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Pad Thai, Korean Bibimbap, General Tso's Chicken, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find a steady mix of office workers, students, and curious tourists, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours frozen margaritas, agua frescas, and a short list of cocktails. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, the takeout window stays open even when the dining room is at capacity. Regulars say the staff remembers their order after only two or three visits. Whether you're new to New York or a longtime resident hunting for a reliable asian fusion fix, Grove Public House earns a spot in the regular rotation.

Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Banh Mi was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Mixed feelings. The Korean Bibimbap was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Grove Public House has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Korean Bibimbap but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Solid spot. The Tonkotsu Ramen is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Pho stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
