Daddy's Noodle Bar had quick service. Ordered the pho from here a few times and it was very good - above average but not the best we have ever tried. The decorations are very cute and it has a homey vibe. read more

My daughter wanted to try this place (obviously cuz it reminded her of her daddy ...) and we were very pleased with the quality of the meal. We started off with an app of steamed pork dumplings which were plump and tasty. Then we each had respective pho bowls - a nice flavorful broth, tender slices of beef, and generous serving of noodles. We only wish that they provided some lime wedges and thai basil leaves to add as one pleased, but tbh, the soup was quite tasty and we didn't really miss this after a few slurps. (They did have bottles of the real sriracha sauce - the one with the rooster on it - so that added a nice spicy kick as needed!) My wife had the papaya salad with shrimp and she said it was very tasty with a good heat level. All in all, satisfying good eats and we look forward to trying them again! read more

Filthy grimy cups, anything fried was greasy and tasted like the oil hadn't been changed for weeks, several menu items were out of stock including ice and normal condiments. Brown lettuce! The server tried to hide the brown lettuce by moving the bowl and cup. It felt like they were just using up old stuff before going out of business. Broth was cloudy and gross. Will not be back to this or any other Daddy's location. Nobody finished their meal. We left in disgust. There was no point in complaining as they clearly knew what they were doing. Keep the money, we won't miss it, and we won't miss Daddy's when they all are gone. read more

We got take out. The food was excellent. One note, the address 1 Dog Lane is confusing. That address is actually about L shaped building with several suites. Daddy's is on 195. I will try it again. We had summer rolls, steamed pork dumplings, and chicken vermicelli. All very good! read more

I ate here just because Chang's Garden is close permanently and Oriental Cafe closed for the 4th of July. I walked into Daddy's and was greeted by the oppressive smell of burnt grease, and I should've been smart enough to walk right out then. The floor was sticky, the countertop along the wall dirty. No one was there around lunch time, another bad sign. But I persisted and ordered a Vietnamese vermicelli dish with roasted shrimps. It arrived shortly and was plain looking with six shrimps on top. With the sauce poured in and mixed, I took a bite. It was bland, bland, bland. This is the simplest Vietnamese dish, and they manage to mess it up, badly. I didn't dare to drink the water that came in a beaten-up plastic cup. This place is a total dive, just quite disgusting really. Don't waste your money here. Want OK Asian food, go to the Oriental Cafe instead. read more

The place was pretty empty and the owner was nice. Our food came fairly quick and the portion was worth the money. The food was okay itself. The place looked like a typical Asian place and was nothing special but clean. I would maybe come back again. read more

Daddy’s Noodle Bar - Pho Combo - Noodles Near Me - Storrs Center, Connecticut

Not good soup or vermicelli noodles. Literally flavorless. I'm told the pho was good but the ramen and noodle dishes completely lacked flavor. Even adding hot sauce made them barely edible. Smelled clean inside but like cleaning chemicals which isn't super appetizing when you're grabbing a bite to eat. Server was lovely but not sure I'd ever go back. Convenience is the best thing this spot has going for it. Maybe it was an off night?? read more

Gotta start out with the top tier service. Personable but relaxed. I'd stayed away from pho for a while, it had just not impressed me in the past but it had been a few years and my buddy really likes it so we went for it. I had the shrimp dumplings and the special x large pho. I'd expected the dumplings to be nothing special but they were top tier! The pho though....excellent. Totally converted me. Deep, rich broth, great noodles and loved the assortment of meats (rare flank, tripe, steak, brisket). My buddy accidentally ordered the summer rolls with meat in them so I ate those as well and they were quite good! It's def a college joint and has a nice atmosphere. read more

Such a cute little place! The service was amazing, a little tiny seating area which was great for lunch! The food was AMAZING! The spring roll was so fresh and vibrant, the peanut sauce was delicate and nutty, and the vermicelli noodles were so delicious! This was one of the most tasty teriyaki pork pieces I have ever had and the vermicelli noodles soaked up that sauce and became so so tasty and tender! Definitely recommend! read more

The food was AMAZING AND FILLING!!!!! The services were helpful giving us great recommendations. The establishment was tidy and clean. Definitely coming back!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Typical strip mall atmosphere. Clean, attentive staff, quick service. Pho broth was lacking flavor.

Delicious! My husband and I were so excited to try this place now that it's open, and we weren't disappointed. I got the #12 (the pho with rare steak), and my husband got a sandwich (bành mì) and the #23 Special Double Trouble. The bành mì is especially good! Very crispy. I was really excited to try the pho too, and once I mixed everything together (including the meat, which turned out very tender once it cooked in the broth) and it was SO good! If you order the pho, don't expect a super rich broth, but something more light and herb-y. My only complaint is that the broth was a bit oilier then I'm used to, but it was forgivable. read more

Daddy’s Noodle Bar - Pho with rare steak - Noodles Near Me - Storrs Center, Connecticut

So I stopped in here on my way home from work. I love the fresh Spring rolls. So I thought I would try them. Why not it's a noodle bar?? Well sadly I was very disappointed. Possibly the worst rolls I've ever had.. Not that they were spoiled , or they tasted poorly. That wouldn't be true. At least if they were spoiled, they would have had flavor. But they just lacked effort. Not even a scallion! The "ground pork was nearly invisible. Only had the rice noodles and shrimp. NO BEAN SPROUTS!!?. No basil!! Very very lame effort. I'm sorry. Try adding a bit more of the menu listed ingredients. Throw a hot pepper in the box "they're cheep". Next time I go in I'm going to take a picture and post it. I wasn't going to do a review but this is 2 days later and I'm still irritated. I got these at a local Asian grocer. This is what yours should look like for Is $2 less mind you. read more

Daddy’s Noodle Bar - Pho Tai - Noodles Near Me - Storrs Center, Connecticut

This place has the best vegetarian pho I've had. Quick service - ordering and payment happens upfront, which allowed us to leave as soon as we finished eating. A quaint spot for delicious noodles! read more

Love it. Great service. Great food. This is a great place for comfort bowls. Great location too but parking can be tough if you don't use the garage around the corner. read more

Ordered crab Rangoons and chicken vermicelli. Rangoons are just cream cheese that's it. Chicken vermicelli was probably the most disgusting looking and tasting thing I've ever seen. There were thin strips of what we're supposed to be chicken but I've never seen any chicken that looked like that. The noodles looked and tasted like rubber tentacles. I'd rather have just gone hungry. read more

Daddy’s Noodle Bar - Chicken vermicelli or something? Was disgusting. - Noodles Near Me - Storrs Center, Connecticut

The food used to be great when they opened- fresh and delicious. We haven't been in a while because we found Pho 99 in Manchester (the best pho we've ever had), but we decided to give Daddy's Noodle another try because we are sick and it is close to home. What a disappointment. Nothing tasted or looked fresh. The basil was shriveled and brown. Some of the bean sprouts were withered away to nothing. The noodles came in a brick form (as they usually do for takeout) but they would not separate. They just broke into chunks of chewy, disgusting mush. Even the lime was brown! We got the smallest dab of hoisin imaginable and no fish sauce for our pork egg rolls, which weren't at their best either. The pho generally just tasted old. Even the Boba looked old and was hard in the middle! I HIGHLY recommend Pho 99 in Manchester. You might have to travel a bit farther to get there and their prices are a bit higher, but it is SO worth it. The pho is fresh and perfect. Everything is high quality and will not disappoint! read more

No complaints here! The food was tasty and they give you a good sized portion. I had the chicken vermicelli, which I really enjoyed. I loved how many vegetables they gave with it, and the egg roll was really delicious and crispy. The order was filled pretty quickly which was a bonus. I would definitely come back here to try some other items on the menu. read more

Incredible Vietnamese fusion! The vegetarian cuisine was amazing! Small place but big taste!

Food is delicious, absolutely love it. Ordered pho for takeout and the service was excellent and they were very kind!!

The new waiter messed up the meal, I waited for more than 40 minutes and still didn't get anything, the people who came later than me had already eaten, and then what really made people angry was the way the boss handled it, did not apologize, was tough and said a bunch of excuses, and then said either the money back or wait. read more

Tried this place for the first time and got the classic pho with steak. The broth wasn't what I was expecting and had a strong cinnamon flavour that took over. Would not recommend for pho. Does not taste authentic and flavourful. read more

The seafood pho is large and appetizing. The broth is delicious, veggies are fresh and worth the price...Awesome

I really enjoy daddy's noodle bar. Their pho is delicious, the meat is quite high quality and the soup is always consistently nice. Their Cambodian style soup is my favorite here. Bubble tea is alright, definitely come for the pho if you're new to the flavor. read more

Pretty good, the spicy daddy is what I normally get. Served quick, lots of food for decent price. What else do you need to know about noodle spot in college town? read more

I ordered a pho beef noodle for takeout. The beef not even fully cooked it's all raw. What's the point to order food if not ready to eat. The whole reason I order food because I don't want to cook read more

Daddy’s Noodle Bar - pho xl noodle bowl - Noodles Near Me - Storrs Center, Connecticut

Excellent Pho, ramen and fresh made Boba tea. Friendly service in a simple, care bones setting. Not fancy at all, just really yummy food and drin. read more

Let's start with the positives. Friendly customer service. Appears clean. Cool puffer fish and eel. Negatives... food was blan. Chicken in the pho was just boiled breast, forked sort. Husband disliked steak, flavorless. We had to add siracha to our broth, until we added too much and ruined it. Egg rolls were just frozen food stuck in a fryer. Pork dumplings were disappointing. Has potential, but will not be back! read more

The vermicelli is great! I've tried both the shrimp and chicken which both were great but definitely preferred the shrimp. It is a very light and fresh dish. The takeout was also very quick! read more

Great new spot! I'm so happy that there's a Vietnamese place near campus now. The vermicelli salad is pretty good, especially the shrimp vermicelli since the chicken and the pork are both on the dry side. I like that they have herbs and veggies on the side. I've also tried the pho w rare steak. I think the broth is solid, but some extra herbs and Thai basil would be nice. The price isn't bad either, but I would've liked to see more rare steak. Overall, it's a pretty nice place to have when the craving for Vietnamese food hits. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! I went with my family once and it was so good! Really recommend it for people who wanna try something new!

They just opened but food was mediocre at best sandwich was tossed in bag unwrapped egg was hard boiled not soft just all around medium food much better places around hope it's just opening jitters and it gets better read more

People working there were super super nice and my food was prepared quickly! Had to take off a star because it wasn't very good ramen -- probably just cause they only offer take out right now and it didn't survive being carried back to my dorm haha read more

I hate leaving a bad review because I know how hard it is keeping any restaurant going even in the best of times but we ate here yesterday and I ordered a number 21 off the in store menu (also a 21 is a different dish on line then it was in the shop menu). It was suppose to have pork, shrimp and squid. Instead I was served a soup which only had shrimp and imitation crab stick (a combo I don't even see on their on-line menu). I and my wife were the only customers in the shop at the time so it's not like a mistake was made in the order due to work load (which happens and I could understand). Normally I would have sent it back but I was hungry so I thought fugget about it and just ate it. It's a shame because the broth in the noodle bowl was really good and the girl working the counter was nice so I gave them 3 stars instead of 2 (if they were out of squid I should have been told and offered the option of changing my order instead of swapping out the squid for crab stick which wasn't even real crab; real crab meat I would have been happy with). So, looks like it's going to be a situation of "One and Done" for Daddy's. Not a way to foster repeat business... read more

I've ordered from here twice now and both times the food has been fantastic. The ramen broth is not as rich as I've had at some other places but it's still flavorful and not watered down. Their egg rolls (both vegetarian and pork) are delicious and seem to be handmade! Would recommend. read more

This place is amazing! Not just noodles, but an extensive Vietnamese menu including pho, banh mi, and other favorites. The banh mi is a steal at $5, crunchy baguette, pate, and roast pork with crunchy pickled veggies. The noodle dishes are extremely generous servings--easily two meals--the Daddy's Ramen and Vegetarian Pho have both gotten rave reviews from our family. Really welcome addition to the UConn area! read more

After years of walking past their sign, it is finally open. I waited, and I waited, but finally...Daddy came home.

The chicken ramen I had was mediocre at best. I also had the steamed shrimp dumplings. They were gross, the dough on the dumplings were mushy and not properly formed on the dumplings. For the steep 7$ price for 4 dumplings I expected higher quality. I don't think I'd go back again, it wasn't worth the price. read more

Got the rare steak pho and it was amazing! I was thrown off as they give you the meat raw, but after placing it in the soup it was so good! Staff is super friendly and the prices are reasonable. 10/10 read more
