17S Shrimp & Pork Spring Roll
Suzanne M.

I have gotten take out from Mint twice, never dined in. This food is so good. Fresh, consistent, and exactly what I'm looking for. I would like to dine in soon so I have more to add to this review. Lemongrass Pork Chop is my favorite! Combination Plate and Shrimp & Pork rolls were also excellent. The flavors are bursting and exactly what you're looking for in Vietnamese food. So good.

A fun and welcoming bar with an open karaoke! This is a place with good food and good vibes for sure! Anyone can go up and sign up for the karaoke and everyone is super friendly and supportive! I came here with my friends and we got a scorpion bowl and some food items. Considering it was bar food, they were not the best Vietnamese food I ever had but they sufficed with the drinks! I recommend the crab rangoons and the chicken wings for starters! The crab rangoons are absolutely stellar! Definitely a must get for bar food! The chicken wings were also amazing it had a sweet and tangy taste and were super crispy. The rice plate and the vermicelli bowl were alright. The lemongrass pork were were sweet, wasn't the best. The karaoke is definitely something you have to step out of your comfort zone for, but I promise everyone is supportive and nonjudgemental. It is so fun! I can see that this place home to a lot of regulars, and I feel a welcoming and cozy vibe here. Definitely coming back!

Cháo served with fried dough stick, Bò Né served with bread
Jane V.

Came here this past Sunday to try their limited time Brunch- it was so good! At around 11:30am, the restaurant was not busy at all, and there was only one other customer there. I got the Bò Né, a steak and egg dish. The steak was juicy and everything was flavorful. It's served with bread which was crispy on the outside but warm and soft on the inside. I could barely finish the whole serving of food. Priced at $20, you may think it's a bit expensive, but then you have to think about the fact that not many places serve this specific dish in the Worcester area (are there even any?). My boyfriend got the Cháo, a rice porridge which I think was around $14? It's hard to mess up porridge so it was pretty good. The only thing my boyfriend said was he wished it had more meat. Our server was nice and we were greeted immediately when walking in. Great ambiance in terms of lighting, decorations, and music. Only downside is that there's only street parking, no parking lot.

Matcha-misu
Uche N.

Truly excellent time at mint. The food was great for Worcester!! We got two apps, two entrees, two drinks and split a dessert and the total price was $90 so just 45 each. Great price for all that. We parked on the street in front of the restaurant with no problem - unsure if it was after hours or street parking. The restaurant was pretty empty when we first walked in but filled up with 50+ people by the time we left. Nevertheless it wasn't too loud. The bar is large and wraps around the center of the restaurant allowing for alot of seating. Overall it was great. I think the restaurant maybe didnt expect the crowd because there was only one person who was acting as the hostess seating people, sever, AND bar tender. I don't think she was a real bar tender so I would skip the drinks, the margarita flight tasted like pure syrup unfortunately. It seemed more like a staffing issue. With only one person in those roles the server never came to check on us and we ended up flagging her down to put in our dessert and get the check. So in all this would be great on a non busy night but on a busier night I would skip the drinks and try to put all your food in at once. I gave 5 stars because I think it was a staffing issue and the woman seemed very overwhelmed. Also if you scan the pictures you'll notice the match-misu portion look different across other guests. This is something you could clarify. The square looks good for sharing but the small cup/scoop might be small for sharing. Just something to consider.

I highly recommend ordering 30F Mi Xao Thit which this is amazing and filling
Liam M.

100% recommend coming here for a great meal and great atmosphere does not matter what day of the week.

Hanoi sticky rice
Sarah A.

Highly recommend! I had the margarita flight, chicken wings (with the house fish sauce), Hanoi sticky rice and ube ice cream. The food was so delicious and flavorful! The workers were attentive and friendly. Very clean (kitchen included) There's a lot of options, so I will definitely be back.

Soju flight. The Calpico was... interesting... Passionfruit was the clear winner!
Allison G.

Yelp reviews did not lead us astray here. Excellent! Busy busy but the service was still very good and the food exceeded all expectations! Will go out of my way to come back!

The parking is for Havana Nights. Imagine our surprise when we were handed menus for "The Fokin Ninja" or Taino. That name isn't anywhere. I still don't know what this place is called. I asked our server if the awesome Cuban place moved, and got the weirdest response.. something like "Ahh.. Ohh.. yeah, let me get someone to help you." I probably should have packed up and studied the situation from somewhere else? There were changes in April and it's not Cuban any more. But we were seated with waters and Fokin Ninja menus, so maybe there's some crossover. I don't even know how to describe the menu; you can read it here. Some kind of Mexican-Asian fusion? Prices are steep, from the $18 cocktails to the $30-$40+ entrees. They did have a few specialty rolls for $10, so I tried a few. Look, maybe beef and chicken fusion rolls are your thing, but today I learned that they are not mine. Not at all. Dry beef, dry shredded chicken on top, and the weirdest mash of flavors and textures does not make a delightful roll. Sticky sweet brown sauce with bacon and cream cheese and some sliver of maybe roast beef? Nope nope nope. There just wasn't anything delicious about them.. just weird stuff wrapped in rice and called a fusion roll. The fried fish plate (Pescado Frito) for $32 was pretty good. Hot, fresh, good size, but just bland and unseasoned, as far as I could tell. Came with chimichuri sauce and fried plantains. Fried rice for $22. Loud and cold in there. This is also the first place in Worchester that puts the Tip right on the tab. Not a service charge, just "Tip" and they picked it for you. There is a line where you can write in an additional tip. It ain't right. I can't think of anything that would merit a second star. The kicker? The receipt says "Havana Nights"! I would have enjoyed eating there instead.

Vincent's - Meatball Sandwich

I probably never would have found this place on my own, but I'm really glad I tried it!…read more One of my bosses is originally from Worcester, and her daughter was heading home for the weekend, so my boss asked her to stop at Vincent's and grab us some meatball sandwiches for lunch. She had been talking about how amazing their meatball sandwiches were, and since meatball sandwiches are basically my favorite food, I obviously had to try them. Before this, I had never heard of Vincent's. We looked it up and realized it's not really a traditional restaurant. It's a bar that serves food, and apparently their meatball sandwiches are a big thing. Another coworker of mine who is also from Worcester explained that this is a place people go to for drinks and food, and that they have some specific rules when it comes to ordering the sandwiches. When we called, we were told that they do takeout, but you can't actually place a takeout order over the phone. You have to go in and order it. I thought that was a little unusual, but my coworker said that's their normal practice. There is also a three-sandwich limit per person. My bosses daughter went in to order five for the office, so thankfully she had someone with her and they were able to order three each. Apparently, the three-sandwich limit is posted on one of their Google pictures, so I guess if you know, you know. I do wish they had a website or something that clearly explained the takeout process and ordering limits, because if you've never been there, you wouldn't necessarily know any of this. Now for the important part...the sandwich! My bosses daughter had about a 30-35 minute drive back to us, so I honestly expected the sandwich to be pretty cold by the time I got it. It was wrapped in foil, and somehow it was STILL warm when I opened it. I was actually surprised. And let me tell you...this was probably one of the best meatball sandwiches I've ever had. It's definitely different from your typical meatball sub. The meatballs are flat, and instead of a regular torpedo/sub roll, it comes on this thick Italian bread. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but I LOVED it. The combination of the bread and the meatballs was so good that I'm pretty sure I'm going to want my meatball sandwiches this way from now on. I can only imagine how good it would have been if I had eaten it fresh at the bar instead of 35 minutes later. So yes, I completely understand why my boss recommended this place. If I'm ever back in the Worcester area, I will absolutely be stopping at Vincent's. Just make sure you know the ordering rules before you go!

Of all the wonderful dive bars in the entire world, the Hotel Vernon (aka Ship Room) is by far the…read morebest! It is just a weird and fascinating place. I looked down the bar there and seen people ranging from college hotties to yuppies to homeless people to regular folks to Doozers and back again. They got dollar drafts and free peanuts but that pales to the history and the dirt. Yup, I said dirt. The place is filthy. I think the last time they cleaned it was for the grand reopening after the end of Prohibition. But, somehow in the weirdest of ways this adds to the character of the place. I mean, where else are you asked to throw peanut shells on the floor? So, its got its history. Babe Ruth used to drink there on his frequent stops to Worcester. There is an old speakeasy in the basement (so I'm told. I've never seen personally). The piece de resistance is the Ship Room- or Yacht Club- which looks like the insides of an olde-timey ship. Bands and other preforms often play there for no cover. Its great atmosphere for a low cost. The only negatives it has is the occasional bartenders. Some bartenders I've had there are very cool. Others are rude jackasses. Just don't go in there with an ego about yourself because that just means you're a pretentious douche.

Beyond that, there's pool and some very distinct atmosphere. You're here for the standard taps at rock bottom prices, ya heard? Don't come calling for craft or cocktails (well, maybe a rum & Coke). Have dollar bills ready, maybe deal some cards if you keep it on the level, rack 'em in the billiard area next room over, and peep the ship room itself in the back. (It was empty and dark when I visited, but I walked around anyway - felt like I wasn't alone, so bonus points for that creepy Amityville Horror feel.) I don't claim to know legit, hardcore Worcester, but this seemed like a small slice of it at the base of Green Street. See pics for ambience and decide accordingly if this is your cup of 'Gansett. (If you can imagine the 2010 edges of Washington DC's H Street district, you're in the ballpark.). *FYI: Four police cruisers passed by me semi-urgently at my Lamartine@Harding parking spot even as I drafted this review. But the bar? I got a kick out of it.
