Grilled chicken summer rolls
Giuliana G.

The food was fresh, fast, and piping hot. I especially loved the summer rolls with grilled chicken and peanut sauce. The service was prompt, polite, and no frills, which I appreciated. Even on a 93° day it was busy and the majority of tables were occupied with people who wanted the delicious pho for lunch. It's not a fancy atmosphere but everything was still clean and the natural light makes for a nice ambiance.

Rice in the rice dish was cold and stiff though overall was good. Several in our group noted the ramen broth as good. Seating is limited for this popular place. Parking is limited.

This place is very popular. I've been here a couple times now and there is always a line of people waiting. It's a small venue, a bit cramped, but the food is tasty. They've got your typical Vietnamese dishes, but since it's called "Midtown Pho," I, of course, had to order their pho. The broth was fantastic, and I did not feel super thirsty after the meal so it is not super heavy on the MSG. Good portion sizes too. The only issue was that this place gets so popular, it's difficult to flag someone when needed, including asking for the check.

Pho Tai ( Sliced Rare Beef Pho)

Broth was very good and had tons of flavor. The rare beef was tender and really was a huge portion for the price. Plenty of bean sprouts, basil and jalapeños on the side. Service was good and the pho came out quick. Would definitely go back

So glad we stopped here for lunch while in the area. Midtown Pho is a popular spot with good lighting and an energizing atmosphere. The food is excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and varied. The portions are large and prices reasonable. I chose the vegetarian summer rolls and vermicelli noodle tofu. I'm looking forward to returning!

Fried soft shell crab
Dina L.

What friendly staff! The space is nicely decorated with breezy. The pho is pretty good, definitely the best I've had in the Triangle, albeit a little sweet. Portions are good. The soft shell crab was a disappointment though. It came with veggies not scallions and was plated differently than usual. The batter was thick and crunch. It soothed by craving but I probably won't return.

This is hands-down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the triangle area. They have a great story that's plastered on the restaurant wall and are so accommodating toward vegetarian/vegan customers. I always go for the tofu summer rolls and vermicelli noodle tofu dish - so delicious and never disappoints! Their vegan pho broth is mild and not my favorite so would not recommend that unless you put your own sauce mixture into it. My friend said the beef broth was quite tasty though. The restaurant is quite popular on the weekends, so I would recommend going on off times on the weekdays or getting there early to get on the waitlist - trust me, it's worth the wait!

For 2 orders... fresh and plenty!

Great broth, chili sauce (ask for it) is well done. Plenty of garnishments. Decent amount of protein. Not on the cheap side but Pho is best I've found so far !

Beef Pho Combo (Pho Dac Biet)
Cathy C.

Decor is fresh and chic with the high ceiling. Service was great and quick, we got the soft shelled crab appetizer and it was crispy and delicious. We also got a Bun Rieu (IYKYK ) and pho. The pho broth is flavorful and clear, toppings plentiful. The BBH had all the fixings and if there was blood cake it would be complete. Highly recommend!!

Garnish.

Sliced Rare Beef Pho (Pho Tai)
Gab G.

Came for lunch on a Saturday and had a great meal here! They were able to accommodate our large party, which was appreciated. I tried: + Fried pork spring rolls + Iced Vietnamese coffee + Sliced rare beef pho + original banh mi All of the food was excellent. Definitely recommended for Vietnamese food in the area.

I love the Crunkleton in Raleigh. I've been there a couple of times now and it never disappoints…read more The ambiance is very inviting and the service is great. The cocktails are top notch and always made perfect. The best thing about Crunkleton that I have seen done rarely is that they carve their own crystal clear ice at the bar. I've so many new bars that have opened up that don't even have a big ice for drinks like Old Fashioneds or just a whiskey on a rock. Coming to the food, i've tried a bunch of things and my favorites are their Tomahawk steak, Caesar salad & wings. They do happy hour specials as well. If you haven't been then definitely check it out.

I recently came here for a date night, and I liked the atmosphere. You can see them cooking steaks…read morewhich is cool. I don't love high tops, so I do wish there were more options for sitting at a regular table for two people. I did like how they had a hook they brought over for me to hang my purse though. We started with the crab cakes. They had a nice sauce with them that was tasty. To drink I got a painkiller, which I really enjoyed. It was fruity but not too sweet. For my entree I got the filet and fries. There were a ton of fries! They were very good. The filet was also good and cooked how I ordered it, rare. I would come here again. We were lucky to find street parking nearby and had a reservation, so I'm not sure what a normal wait would be when walking in.

My wife & I had passion fruit mimosas that were delicious. The decor is modern, yet eclectic and cozy, beautiful accents and dim lighting in the restaurant, there are nice plants everywhere too, which is a nice touch. The shrimp had a tasty grilled flavored that paired well with the aji panco rub and the piquillo pepper sauce the flautas were as flavorful as you can get with potatos, the salsa molcajete really brought it together though. The food was delicious and a nice surprise, we were thoroughly impressed with the whole experience, from the food, to the service, to the ambiance. I will definitely be back for dinner.

I came here for my birthday on a Sunday evening. We easily found street parking a block or two…read moreaway. We had a reservation and it wasn't busy, with two other groups and one couple dining there as well. We left around 6:30 and it was still very slow with no new customers coming in since we arrived. I think this place is probably more lively on Friday and Saturday nights. The food was delicious and the employees were friendly. When we walked in, the executive chef (Kevin?) asked if we had dined there before and welcomed us with a handshake and introduced himself. When you first enter Cuya there is a casual dining area with a lot of natural light coming in through the windows. That is the cafe portion of their restaurant and where they serve pastries, lattes, sandwiches, salads, and other more casual dining options. It's a cute and spacious spot that would be great for a casual breakfast or lunch. When you walk through the cafe there is a second door that opens into a second dining area that is a lot darker and has a completely different vibe and look. The music is fairly loud so it isn't a good place to go for a quiet meal or date unless you're into nightlife. The music is fun though with reggaeton, some r&b, and other Latin music like Juanes or bad bunny. The decor is super cool and sexy and colorful with fun decorations like a bust/mannequin head wearing a tropical fruit hat, lots of plants and neon lights, as well as framed art featuring different Latin countries. We started off with some drinks: a mezcalita picante and a pineapple jarritos. They even poured the jarritos into a glass and garnished it like a cocktail which was a nice touch and fun for our 5 year old. Our appetizers came after our drinks. We ordered the fritto mixto, pork belly tostones, pulpo, and empanadas. For our main meal we ordered the banana leaf steamed snapper. We ended our meal with mango sorbet. The only desserts available were a banana bread style bread pudding and mango sorbet. I was really hoping for some flan or tres leches and very disappointed by the offerings available. However, the mango sorbet was actually so incredible and delicious with a generous amount of scoops (I believe there were four). You could really taste the mango. The fritto mixto was good and came with a nice marinara style sauce which tasted more like a blended pico de gallo. The calamari was tasty and there were some nice juicy shrimp in the mix as well. The pork belly empanada was nice but not our favorite. We liked the sauce it came with but we weren't expecting deep fried empanadas. It comes with 2 however and makes for a great sharing appetizer for a small group. My favorite appetizer was definitely the pulpo which was so crispy on the outside and oh so tender on the inside and cooked to perfection. It didn't seem grilled as the menu states but was still incredibly delicious. It is plated atop a yummy salsa and served with some fingerling potatoes (some purple on the inside!). The potatoes were no frills and not that flavorful but still nice. Highly recommend. The banana leaf snapper was a very interesting dish with a fun presentation. The snapper sits beneath a layer green olive and capers with arugula and baby tomatoes. The snapper was cooked well and extremely tender. I recommend you mix it all together otherwise the caper and olive mix is pretty overpowering. We had an overall lovely experience and would return again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious place to try! I want to come back to try the noodle dishes, Jamaican curry wings, and the ceviche/crudo items! The tacos sounded delicious as well.
