    Ginger chicken
    Thomas G.

    This is a Rochester favorite of mine. From Union St/University Ave in the early 2000's then to Monroe Ave and now on Mt. Hope Ave -- the recipes have not changed!!! The food has been consistently good and I always know that what I'm going to get is going to taste the same as it did the first time I ever ordered it (and I've circulated the menu a few times). My favorite is generally a chicken rice dish (sweet and spicy or tamarind) because you get so much juicy chicken for a great price. The current location is more of a takeout style restaurant versus the previous family dine-in restaurant. Either way, they've created a nice ambiance using the same artwork. I'll have to update with pictures of the inside on my next visit.

    Recommend 100 times over. Especially the spicy coconut soup, the pad tai (I did not have the Vietnamese version, I had the Thai), and the spicy beef noodle dish. Everything is made with love and is so flavorful! Best meal we have had out in a long time. Staff is super helpful if you have questions and they are super friendly. If you haven't tried this place, what are you waiting for?!

    Pad Phat Xin Noodle

    A Vietnamese Thai place with good options. Slightly pricier options than their neighbors SEA. Vietnamese crepe was a good choice to try bc it's not a common appetizer found in most places. Essentially a yellow pancake made from flour/mungbean? that has beansprouts, lettuce, tender chicken in the middle. This dish is is mild in flavor and relies on the sweet sour sauce to bring its flavor out. This is a large enough pancake to be a meal itself but definitely a filling appetizer if you're splitting it. Also got the Pad Xi; we were curious what this was since we've had the other pads like pad Thai, pad see ew etc. This dish was also pretty good- the sweetness of all the dishes here was a bit much for me. SE cooking is known for its sweet sour and complex tastes, but this place leans towards the sweeter end for its dishes. Sesame noodle was also a decent appetizer. A good light meal but it was a little too noodle-y to me. I think this dish would do better if it had more toppings to add more texture, because the uniform noodles and flavor made this dish a little bland. Overall a decent place. It has a slightly americanized sweeten overtone to all its dishes. owner is nice however and service is pretty fast. If you like your thai/viet foods sweet, recommend this place.

    I stopped by for takeout lunch- didn't realize Mamasan's had landed here in the Collegetown area! Bea the owner took my order- I always liked their Thai Curry- so I ordered the vegetarian tofu version. Although the tofu wasn't fried crispy as I like- the flavor and tastes were on point as I remember they were. It came with a side of white Jasmine rice. The tables were almost all full- probably 50+ people having lunch. I'll have to come back again for lunch or dinner. It looks like the old Mamasans that I used to love on University Ave. is back in Rochester!

    Pineapple rice, rice comes on side

    Counter service Vietnamese and Thai food. The woman at the counter was very friendly and helped us choose between a few items. The other staff was attentive and kept our waters refilled. The food came out hot, but had very little flavor. 3 out of 4 requested spicy, they were all rather bland and needed lots of siracha to add flavor. The eggplant appetizer was delicious and the dumplings were very good. The rice dishes listed have the rice come on the side, not all mixed together.

    Fried pork and vegetable dumplings

    The food was amazing, the Mamasan noodles had so much flavor, vegetables, and chicken. Huge portion size! The staff was friendly and super attentive. I highly reccomend!

    Pineapple chicken with rice and peas

    I've always wanted to check this place out once I saw it coming soon. Finally had the time to go and they are delicious. It was kinda hectic but they are still new and trying to find front end staff, but everyone was so patient and welcoming. The food came out hot and fresh, once I had my first bite, I didn't want to stop eating. They are a little on the pricey side, but it was worth it!

    A sister restaurant to SEA, Roc Pho Shop started as an idea to branch off from traditional dishes…read moreand create more playful meals. It's the same cuisine but with a twist. Head chef Nalee Phommachanh had the vision alongside owner (and sister-in-law) Vilay Sysavath. The family- run business offers a diverse and authentic Southeast Asian menu, a quarterly rotating chef specials menu with paired rotating drinks, and a full-service bar with specialty Soju-based cocktails and other Asian-fusion beverages. My wife and I were in Rochester for a thrift show and wanted to grab some lunch. We love Vietnamese, pho is one of my favorite foods, so we decided to give them a try and we were glad we did. The restaurant is small and jam packed full of tables, but we were still able to be sat and given menus immediately around 2PM on a Saturday. We decided to order a bunch of things and share them. Obviously, we got a bowl of pho, along with an order of egg rolls, a chicken lemongrass plate, and a couple pf Thai teas. Our food took a bit to come, but it was pretty busy, and we were very happy with our food. Everything was delicious. The grilled chicken from the platter had awesome lemongrass flavor, the pho's broth was flavorful, the egg rolls were absolutely amazing, and the portions were huge - we had plenty to take home afterwards. Employees were friendly, prices were comparable to similar restaurants. We'd definitely go again if in the area.

    I've been to Roc Pho Shop a couple times now and find it enjoyable... had it been around during my…read moredays at RIT, I'm sure I would have been there regularly. Unsurprisingly, I originally visited to try the pho itself. While the pho is served with a plate of Thai basil, hoisin, siracha, sprouts and lime to add flavor, I'm still somewhat regularly disappointed in the lack of umami flavor in the broth itself. It lacks some depth. There are also times when my broth wasn't quite as hot as I would have wanted. Generally, the pho is fine... but there are better options around Henrietta and Rochester. Just something to keep in mind. I've had a variety of other dishes as well, and the pork banh mi is another that could use some improvement. In the couple times that I've had it, it seems to be very dry. I want a scrumptious banh mi with plenty of pickled veggies and a flavorful pork... but that isn't what I've experienced here. It's served with a broth on the side, and that's fine... but I want my flavor *IN* the sandwich... without having to use a broth as a substitute to add moisture to the meat or flavor to the sandwich. On a recent visit, I brought my mother. She ended up ordering the shrimp fried rice for her lunch, and, while the size was large (she ended up needing a takeout container to bring about half of it home), she found the dish to be lacking in flavor and components (noting that more vegetables might have been nice). During this visit, I also ordered the spicy cucumber salad for the first time... and also found *that* side lacking in flavor. There was an itsy bitsy amount of spice... but for something marked on the menu as spicy? It wasn't what I was expecting. Service was fine, and the overall ambience of the restaurant is inviting and clean. The entrance/exit can be a bit rough for cars that are a bit lower to the road... just something to be aware of.

The pork belly in the buns was melt in your mouth tender with a delicious sauce. Entree wise we got the Szechuan diced chicken and the sweet and sour pork ribs. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned, I could definitely taste Szechuan peppercorn 10/10. The pork ribs were sweet and saucy they came with pieces of pineapple and bell pepper. We will be back!

The inside was clean but the AC was barely noticeable on such a hot day. Waitress came over with water and an iPad for ordering then didn't show up for another 10+ minutes. I finally walked everything over the the counter to get her attention and placed my order. I started with the fresh veggie spring rolls. These were just ok. The dipping sauce was quite spicy, and even with that they tasted pretty bland. No discernible herbs in the rolls at all, just some tofu, carrot, & lettuce. For my entree I got a vegan banh mi. It came out warm and the baguette was crunchy, if a bit dense. Again, very little fresh veg on it which is usually the highlight of a banh mi. There was a few pieces of iceburg lettuce (unheard of on a banh mi!) and one or two sprigs of cilantro, along with the same sauce from the fresh spring rolls. It was a bit disappointing but at least it filled my belly. Couldn't find the waitress to ask for more water or napkins, so I made do with what I had. I'd eat here again if I really had to, but I'd prefer to try elsewhere.

I wasn't sure if it was reheated or due to the lack of experienced diners, who thought the redness near the bone on a pouched chicken was "raw". Not only was the chicken not served with ginger and scallion sauce, it was drizzled with soy sauce. I didn't taste the chicken flavor in the chicken rice either. Usually it's paired with the Hainese chicken. The mango chicken was too sweet, according to my husband and son. The roti canai was decent, but it had beef or pork in it. Previously, I've only had chicken in the sauce. With only 2 other seatings taken, we were sat next to a mom group of chatty 4 women. They were loud enough for our table not to bother speaking.
