You can't go wrong with a stop at Vietnamese Noodle House. I have been going here happily for…read moreyears, and have tried so many of thier items from salted yolk lemonade, to their banh mi, to spicy beef soup. It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and even after moving away and traveling to different…read moreplaces, I still haven't found a bánh mì that compares. I've had some that come close, even in Vietnam, but I think the secret is in the auntie's homemade sauce and egg mayo, along with the bread and meats that are freshly prepared every day. Once they sell out, that's it for the day, so come early! This is a small, family-owned business, and the owners are some of the friendliest and most generous people you'll meet. What makes this place even more special is how much they care about their customers. Even after COVID, their bánh mì stayed at just $5 per sandwich for a while. The auntie was hesitant to raise prices because she worried about losing customers, even with the rising cost of everything. It was the customers themselves who encouraged her to charge more because the quality was absolutely worth it. It's definitely a small, hole-in-the-wall spot tucked into a corner, but trust me, it's worth the visit. The meat is always juicy, the vegetables are incredibly fresh, and are even grown in her own garden at home. You can really taste the love and care that goes into every sandwich. This place is more than just a bánh mì shop; it's a little piece of home that I've loved since childhood.

Vietnamese Noodle House is a treasure trove of tasty delights. I dined there three times over the…read morecourse of a week and each meal was superb, as was the service. It was busy all three times I visited, but never seemed overwhelming. The staff is fast and efficient and the ambiance is straightforward, but enhanced by touches like a beautiful mural of a hand holding chopsticks reaching for a bowl of noodles. My first meal (party of three) we had A4. (Steamed Pork) Dumplings, A12. Steamed Buns, N4. Creamy Udon Noodle Soup, N6. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế), and N8. Wonton Noodle Soup. Each dish exceeded expectations. The dumplings were tender and flavorful and the steamed buns could be a meal themselves for light eaters. The soups were very substantial portions and provided complex, layered compositions of textures and flavors. The Thai tea was also very tasty. Ayumi provided friendly, attentive service and was a big help in explaining the menu to those in our party unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine. My second meal (a different party of three) we had A2. Fried Crab Rangoon (Hoành Thánh Chiên), A3. Summer Rolls, A5. Crispy Chicken Wings, A10. House special Bánh Mì, and N7. Tom Yum Noodle Soup (Bún Lẩu Thái). The Crab Rangoon actually tasted like crab, which was a first for me and a very pleasant surprise. The Summer Rolls were huge, about one-and-a-half the size served elsewhere and were very fresh, cold, and crisp. They were excellent. The Crispy Chicken Wings had a nice chicken flavor, but if you don't add a sauce, they might seem rather bland compared to wings elsewhere. The Báhn Mi was a delicious combination of opposites: warm and cold, rich and crunchy, savory meats and pâté and fresh veg; and the bread was perfect: crisp crust and spongy crumb. Finally, the Tom Yum Noodle Soup was also commendable. Vietnamese Noodle House excels at offering outstanding noodles in subtly flavored broths with delicious, fresh meats and vegetables. Riley was our server and she was very efficient, making sure our water glasses we were full and that we had everything we needed. My third visit was solo and I ordered my meal as takeaway and sat at the bar enjoying an iced Vietnamese coffee while I waited for my food. It was very busy because the North Syracuse location is closed on Mondays. Aili provided outstanding, friendly service despite being pulled in several directions at once, covering both tables and the bar. I had the N1. Special combo Beef Pho (Phở Bò, see picture) with all five meats, including tendon and tripe; Sticky Rice Pudding (Che khoai môn); and the aforementioned iced Vietnamese coffee. The pho was delicious. I had never had tripe not tendon before. Both seemed to be more about texture than flavor. The tripe was actually crunchy even though it wasn't fried and the tendon was very gelatinous, the exact opposite of what I expected. Neither was unpleasant, but having tried them, I have no need to have them again. The sticky rice pudding was a bit disappointing because it was so runny, but that might just be how that dessert is prepared everywhere. The flavor was very nice and it wasn't too sweet. If you like Asian cuisine, I strongly recommend Vietnamese Noodle House. Every dish (and I tried them all) was delicious and the service was uniformly excellent.

Can't wait to see what else they come up with.

The restaurant itself was very clean, I mean it was spotless. We ordered the banh mi with grilled pork, summer rolls with grilled pork and rice vermicilli with egg rolls and grilled pork (wow we ordered more pork than I realized) Overall, I feel that Mr Pho is a good starting point for people who are new to viet food as the flavors are much more mild. I do think it tastes more Chinese-Vietnamese than authentic Vietnamese as the vegetables in the banh mi weren't pickled as they usually are and the grilled pork definitely does have Vietnamese flavors involved but they were more subdued. The summer rolls also had a bit more lettuce than I'm used to and there weren't any leeks in them. That being said, everything still tasted fresh and yummy just not very authentic tasting. Special shout out to the wonderful service, our waiter was a young man who was very attentive to us and the other patrons in the restaurant. Overall, I think this was a nice place to try and I would like to try the pho next time as I do see other views raving about it!

I try not to ever be the person showing up too close to closing time, but we were craving it and made the decision to go there and eat as fast as we could or else order to go to minimize being "those people". Well they were relatively busy for a Monday night, and yet they served us quickly and kindly as usual. We even said we know there's other groups here but we will be as fast as possible and they were very kind and patient with us regardless! As for the food- the lo mein my partner got was of course delicious and reliable. My hot pot was incredible, and with ridiculously generous portions of food. The restaurant as always is clean, pleasant, and of course fun to stop on the way in or out and say hello to the turtles and fishes. Always worth a stop in to this great restaurant!

I did find a person who visited this one and another one, Jianghu Café and so I asked her if I could only visit one, which do I do, and she said Jianhghu was the winner winner Szechuan lunch. I did go there and it was great! But I found myself having one additional dinner time without plans, so I came here as well. Walking in, I noticed what appeared to be a common Asian Massage Parlor next door, yo uget to it via the entry way that bring you here as well. Kinda odd, but it didn't bother me. Walking into this restaurant, it's very nicely laid out and beautifully décor'd! The servers and staff spoke great English and were very helpful, especially when answering questions about their menu. I started with their Garlic Cucumbers, but I asked for them to be spicy and Wow, they did a GREAT job with them! They weren't very hot, but so much spiciness and flavor - I loved them! Next up was to get their cumin chicken. They do cumin style in all their proteins, which makes for some great options. I chose their basic fried rice to come with this. The fried rice and cumin chicken were both amazing... Perfectly spiced and loaded with flavor. There were several Szechuan peppercorns in the dish, which added to the aroma and flavor of the dish. Overall - I really like this dinner! While I do feel Jianghu is slightly better, this is amazing as well!

The curry was good, a bit mild though. The chicken itself was a little bit dryer than I was hoping for but flavor was good. I do also wish they had more veggies in the dish as well but the ones that were in there were well cooked. It would have been nice if there was more eggplant and hopefully also some bamboo shoots as well. Finally, for dessert I had the warm chocolate cake.
