Spring roll and summer rolls were delicious. I really enjoyed the taro used in the spring roll. Pho was talked up by the reviews. Broth was flavorful and hit the mark. Noodle was overcooked and too soft and lacked chew. Service was sketch but that's par for the course. read more

Kravin Pho - Special Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Hartford, Connecticut

I got their pho beef and it was pho-nomenal. The broth had a very deep, authentic flavor, and was the perfect temp to enjoy. The meat was a good cut and the service was quick. The restaurant is family owned and was clean inside. Their prices are reasonable, making it a must try. I recommend Kravin Pho to any locals or people passing through. read more

I had been trying all different Vietnamese restaurants from ct to Florida, this is the best! (Better than those in Philly) The broth is excellent, we spoke to the owner she's super sweet and kind. They kept the broth cooking for 24 hrs .... Rich and aromatic Pho is chewy even wheb you eat to the last bite, they don't break into pieces, best noodles i ever tried. Kravin Special we ordered has oxtails, very tender. The bowl is full of meat!! Everything taste great The owner let us try the spicy soup ... Omg i have to come back in 2 days to eat the spicy noodles. We tried the fish cake she made, we ended up buying whole pieces $23 to-go. The fish cake taste so good, chewy. Also vietnamese coffee don't get one because it won't be enough. We have 2 more to-go. I beg you to try it Restaurant is super clean because she wipe everything and also kept all soup bowl in closed area (no bugs can reach it during the night) ... There's restrooms for men / women seperately which is also very clean. I mean sometimes u go to a restaurant with nice food but dirty environment, this restaurant here has the best pho and CLEAN! I really appreciate it and i think the owner really use her heart to run her restaurant. Just happy we can communicate in Cantonese We kept talking about this and miss our exit home enjoy guys read more

I love this new place. My whole life I would pass by and never get the chance to go in but today, I got to enjoy a full 1 hour break from my job and so I was really pumped to try them out without feeling rushed. Very gratful.....y'all know that I am all about supporting my local neighborhood. The setting was a cute space with plenty of seating options depending how busy they get of course. I was fortunate to experience the full service and I was happy! Easy going, knew what I wanted, and I was out before my break ended. Go check them out, they have variety of vietnamese dishes. I had the Kravin Pho special one size that comes with rare beef, brisket, tendon, tripe, beef balls, and ox tail! And for starters I got pork spring rolls. read more

If you're looking for traditional, quick, easy, and affordable this is the spot. Was hesitant walking through the door but they made me feel at home. The service was very friendly! And the food was traditional and delicious. The beef pho and fresh spring rolls were out of this world. I knew the food was going to be delicious as soon as I sat down due to the simple ambiance inside. Definitely will come back and recommend!! read more

Kravin Pho - Pho and Fresh Spring rolls on the way! - Vietnamese Near Me - Hartford, Connecticut

As of November 2024, this is my go to pho restaurant. The broth was beefy and they gave you plenty of bean sprouts and beef to garnish the bowl. Service is typical Vietnamese, rushed. They came over twice in the span of 5 mins expecting you to have your order ready and food came 5 mins after you ordered. The inside was clean and cozy and there was easy parking either on the street or in the small lot adjacent to the restaurant. read more

I can't figure out why I've never written a review for Kravin Pho before - it's one of the best Pho shops in Hartford! I always get the P6, a sumptuous soup with rare beef and brisket - and I always ask for extra limes, because that's just how I eat my pho. But truthfully, Kravin Pho's broth is so mouth-wateringly good on its own, drowning it in lime or adding any other flavor seems unnecessary. It's clear that the owner pours a lot of effort and time into the soup, making it fantastic each time. Whether it's to warm up on a cold winter day or even on a hot summer one when you're 'kravin' Pho, drop by Kravin Pho for a bowl of soup you won't forget! read more

Not the best pho I have ever had, but probably one of the better pho places I have had. A great place to get a bowl of soup As a running theme of the past week or so, been freezing my booty off in the cold morning days and seeking respite after our events finish. We went to find soup, and found a local pho place that was reviewed pretty favorably. So I came in to give it a go. The server was very friendly, and when we initially came in there wasn't many people eating here. Given the neighborhood, there was a little concern that we might've picked a not-so-good place. But we stick it out and order some beef rolls and a pho to split between us. Service is prompt, with the rolls coming out quickly and the pho taking a little longer. The beef rolls were pretty tasty! they were coated in a light soy sauce and grilled to perfection. The veggies in the middle were crunchy but fully cooked, offering just a little bit of filler but also as a sauce vessel The pho was also really good! the meat was very tender and the portion was fairly large. between the two of us, we were able to easily make a meal by sharing the app and the pho. The weak point was the broth. It really needed a lot of extra doctoring to make it good. I know with pho that they do leave it up to the user to tailor it to their own tastes, but I do expect the base to be a little more put together when you get it. After a good few dashes of seasoning sauce, some fish sauce, sriracha for spice, and some crushed red chili flake, I was able to get the sauce to a reasonable salt and spicy level. After which, it was good but not amazing. The amazing was the meat, which was cooked in the broth and was very tender and flavorful. if the broth tasted more like the meat, then it would've been a much better dish. but it didn't so it's a little flat. Once you add in your seasonings though, it's a very good pho! read more

When I talk about Vietnamese food in the greater Hartford area, I like to talk about what each place specializes in. This is how I narrow down where I go based on whatever I'm craving that day. For Kravin, there's quite a few specialities that they deserve praise for; my family really enjoys going here. For me, I love their Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup). When I'm feeling like I need a savory broth with a kick, I absolutely go straight to Kravin for it. The owner personally has her own recipe and is in the kitchen herself. When my cousins visit, she knows personally she likes the one with extra kick and I like a mild kick when we order Bun Bo Hue. If you're a regular, she'll take care of ya! Personally I've also seen Kravin also be great at pho in general. Some days I'm indecisive and I end up splitting pho and Bun Bo Hue with a friend so we can get both. I enjoy the consistency of the noodles in their pho as it's not too soft but just right. Can't forget an order of egg rolls for the table which we ended up ordering a few more on our last visit. My parents have a special affinity to their com tam suon (rice plate with pork chop) and always get it with extra fat (my dad does this it's his thing). The meats for the rice are seasoned so well that some days my dad gets an order of just the meat to go so he can have it at home ready to go. I'll literally stop by home and see he's got a plate of the meat from Kravin so he can have it with rice and other things at home. I guess that means something. Going to Kravin means you'll get authentic Vietnamese food beyond just pho and banh mi. In fact, their Facebook page will share the week's specials so you can try the extra special dishes that you truly may not find as authentic as elsewhere. Don't skip out on Kravin Pho! Once you try it, you'll be craving more. read more

Haven't ate here in months and got pho to go on Sunday. I must say it was delicious, even as it was a take home soup. Even my mother was satisfied with the pho since she's a picky eater. She rather make pho at home than go eat out. We will be back! read more

I was visiting the area and craving pho. They hit the spot. If reminds me of my favorite restaurant back home. Services was awesome, treated us like we were part of the family read more

This is a small place. They have dine in. The dining room was packed with people for lunch. I went for a take out. Food was flavorful. A3 Beef Rolls Bo Cuon Hanh was a good appetizer. It is veggies rolled inside flavorful beef. B7 Stir flank beef with spicy lemongrass - bun bo xao xa ot was flavorful as well. The Kravin Pho special came cold. Basically I had to boil the broth, noodles and other ingredients at home before consuming. That was a surprise and extra work for me. But once cooked it was good as well. read more

Ok so I haven't been to this place since it was Pho 88. Today on a cold and rainy day, I decided to get takeout. I didn't call in, I just dropped by. It was around 230PM on a Thursday so I didn't expect any patrons. Surprisingly the same lady is working there from the previous place!!!! I ordered beef pho and the fried spring rolls. Very yummy. I told her to heat up the broth because I'm not going to have time to cook it at home. I think I saw a review that said she had to cook it when she got home, so just let them know in advanced. I give it a 5 stars because the lady remembered that I always asked for the garlic chili sauce and it's the bomb!!!!! The pho needs a tad bit more salt but overall it was still nice. read more

The moment we were met by the server, her attitude was short, unfriendly and rude with us. We ordered fried spring rolls and she delivered fresh spring rolls. We explained what we ordered and both the server and another kitchen lady got rude with us. Told us "you have to wait now" in a rude tone. They make you feel uncomfortable. It's just so unnecessary to be this rude to paying customers. This business needs to "do better" for the customers paying their bills. read more

Went with a group and tried a little of everything. Beef rolls were the standout dish of the meal and were excellent. We got fresh rolls as well and everyone liked them, to me they're a staple when I go for Vietnamese. The bahn mi with crispy pork was a little low on meat and none of the sandwiches seemed to have the pate (which makes them in my opinion!) so those were a bit disappointing. Pho was classic and delicious, and the B1 special Bun with marinated beef, shrimp and crispy egg roll was fantastic. I'll be back and highly recommend!! Restaurant is BYOB and our bill was almost laughably cheap. Delicious dining on a budget! read more

Very yummy and affordable. I just had a grilled pork banh mi. $6.44 including tax. Cheaper than getting fast food and I would rather support a small business. A lot of flavor! My friend and I tried the beef roll appetizer- again a lot of flavor. Small rolls of beef with cooked onions inside. I am excited to try some of the other dishes including the rice dishes. read more

Decided to give Kravin Pho a try and while it didn't totally disappoint, I feel like there are other pho places around that I would prefer over Kravin. I would definitely have their food again but I found the broth to be bland and bleh. It definitely needs all the sauces to enhance the flavors. Once I put the limes and a cocktail of the sauces on the table it tasted delicious. The oxtail tasted like it was just cooked with no seasoning just water. Service was nice and pleasant. Is a small restaurant on park street and the good thing is that has a small parking space on the side besides the off street parking that is hard to find in that area. Maybe I'm being too critical because in the past few weeks I have had amazing pho. Great addition to Parkville area for the winter weather comfort foods. read more

Hard time coming up with a final star count for this place because they are kind of all over the place. Here's some individual ratings. Vietnamese coffee- 5 rich coffee flavor well balanced by the sweetness of condensed milk, it arrives in a glass of crushed ice, stir it up and enjoy! Banh Mi - 4 - we had the flank. The meat was very flavorful, the roll was fresh, but lacked a little bit in the spicy and crunchy areas. Not the best I've had, but pretty good Pho- 3- I wanted this to be better. The beef broth was pretty bland. They didn't have chicken, so we had the beef balls, which were also pretty bland Atmosphere and service- 4.5- the servers were prompt and friendly. The place was clean and tables well spread out. Overall, a nice lunch. They just opened, so they are probably worth a second visit. read more

Traveling and not from the area. We found this on yelp! Excellent food and service, fast and friendly

I tried the beef pho with brisket and another type of beef and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also tried B1 which is a combination plate. It contained an egg roll, some noodles and some thin slices of beef that tasted a little sweet. I'm not used to sweetened meat in Vietnamese cooking, but perhaps it exists. The egg roll was delicious. The noodles were fine but had no sauce on them. You could make your own sauce with soy sauce and seasoning sauce which was on the table. There were also some very nice fresh lettuce and carrots at the bottom of the dish. The service was wonderful the two times that I visited. Parking was easily available in a lot adjacent to the building. read more

This probably just three of the plates I have had the pleasure to eat from here. Besides their noodle dishes, they have really good Grilled Beef Ban Mi. Besides their food, the staff is so nice, and friendly, and most of all welcoming. I am fortunate to live near them and they never disappoint me read more

Came in for Dine-In for the first time since the Pandemic. The owner seated everyone quite far from each other and the restaurant was clean and cool. Service- I'd rate less but this could have just been an off day. The food took longer than usual and she got the wrong order despite the foods being on completely opposite sides of the menu. She tried to persuade me a little to just take the dish, but I insisted Otherwise, service was fine B1 Special Bun- You HAVE to get this! One of the best I've ever tasted! Flavorful and plenty! C1 House Special Rice- This was pretty good! Just be careful because everything was more heavy on the white pepper than usual restaurants. P1 Special Pho- All the meats were plenty and tender, especially the great tendon! However, the broth was just ok...not as flavorful as I'd like- more just meat flavor and light. X4- Stir Fried Shrimp- Very average, wouldn't recommend. read more

I highly enjoy coming here to eat-- flavorful soups, noodle and meat dishes and best iced Vietnamese coffee! The owners are very genuine and will ask the customers if they are enjoying their meal, and provide good recommendations! Some of the best people you will meet, and want to ensure you have a good dining experience. I always crave their iced coffee- made fresh daily with real ground coffee and fresh milk. Perfect pairing to go with a bowl of piping hot, beefy pho! Trust me, you will want to come here again and again. There is a guy who comes here for three meals a day and sits in the same spot. He knows this place is the go-to for the authentic dishes- none of the other Vietnamese restaurants in the area are as good as this. This is a hidden gem, and while it may look unassuming outside and in the Parkville area, this is where real home cooked Vietnamese food is made! read more

everything about this place is amazing 10/10. I get the spring rolls and the pho tai and it's always amazing

We love this place and our kravins never go away so we could eat here every day. Recommend the ox tail in the Kravin Special. Servings are enormous you will be very pleased and service is fast and friendly. I love the Vietnamese pancakes, fresh rolls and ice tea is refreshing and sweet. You'll be glad you popped into this restaurant. Free street parking or a shared lot on the side of the building next to Casita. Feels like a safe comfortable place and have always felt like the other customers were kind. Take out orders are packed with care. They'll ask how soon you plan on eating the pho so they will keep it separated. You can feel the love in the quality of service. Support this local convenient business and you'll be eating in 15 min! read more

Had intense craving for authentic Vietnamese food and this joint just a few minutes from the center really satisfied! We savored our take out of Crisp banh mi with tasty pork, fresh spring rolls, generous servings of rice dishes with stir fry veggies and tofu, and grilled pork with that distinct vinegar sauce that goes so well with it. At this time, there are only a few Vietnamese places open and I'm so glad they're closed or I wouldn't have discovered Kravin Pho! Will definitely be back. read more

This is on of those "hole in the wall" restaurants near the border of West Hartford in Hartford that you have to try for authentic Vietnamese food. To start, I ordered a glass of soy milk. From the first sip I could tell that it was freshly made (not that canned or bottle stuff...). Just a hint of sweetness to get you into the mood for the food. For an actual appetizer, I ordered the spring rolls (Goi Coun). The rice paper wrapper was moist, the mix of vegetables, shrimp, and pork was all made to order. I assure you that it was not stuck in a fridge for hours like some places. The Spicy peanut sauce really complemented this dish. It really made me feel that spring was here, so light and balanced. Now to the entree... I ordered the "Special" Pho, which was absolutely delicious... The broth subtle and was not too strong like other places. I can tell the chef does not use as much MSG as other places as I was not thirsting for water after the meal, LOL. The variety of protein in this dish was great... I just loved the rich mix of the meats, noodle, & basil creating a new burst of flavor. Overall, the staff was friendly. The owner Ryan was attentive. The only grip I had was with the parking, I wish the parking lot was larger. read more
