    Canh Chua Ca (catfish)
    Thomas L.

    Fast service. Delicious food. Authentic Vietnamese flavors. You pay and tip up at the front desk. The Canh Chua Ca (choice of salmon or catfish) is very nice but this is more of a dish to share. It won't fill you. It's a bit random they give you a bowl of rice with this. The rice is not needed. It's a soup.

    Haven't been here in a while and this cold day was perfect for some hot soup! I had the beef and brisket Pho. We arrived after lunchtime and there were a few tables seated. Our server took our order and our food didn't take very long to come out. The pho was very hot and we were served bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime and hot peppers on the side. There was hot chili oil on the table. The broth was full of flavor and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. I added the basil, the bean sprouts and just a little chili oil. There is a lower price for cash, that was nice and the gentleman (owner?) at the counter explained they added a 15% tip to the bill.

    New Century Egg Rolls # 9 (has shrimp and pork in it)
    Saret B.

    New Century is our go to for Vietnamese food even though we live wicked close to another very popular restaurant lol. We mostly do take out and never had an issue. A couple months ago my husband and I decided to stop in for lunch. The service is the same as I remembered, leaves not much to be desired. It's not the best but not horrible, just meh. But the food is always outstanding. Favorite Items to order: Appetizers: Ginger Chicken Wings #4 (my little one's favorite) Spring Rolls #6 - Spring rolls (2): Steamed Shrimp, Pork, Vermicelli, fresh Lettuce, Bean Sprouts, and Mint wrapped in Rice Paper. New Century Egg Rolls # 9 - Shrimp and Pork, encased in a homemade wrapping that you can only find here. Entrees: Pho: Special Combination # 10 - Rare Steak, Beef Meatballs, Brisket, Tripe, and Tendon Rare Steak & Brisket # 16 Vermicelli Noodles: Special Combination # 33 - Shredded Pork, Egg roll, Grilled Shrimp, Pork, Beef, and Meatballs House Special(when I feel like eating something than my usual above): Quail in a Five Spice Caramel Sauce #59 Drinks: I enjoy the coconut juice

    5/5. Visited the restaurant with my badminton club and are always pleased to be seated and fed quickly. Service is consistently impeccable and friendly. Host is a kind man who prioritizes guests above all else. We ordered 3 #16 (Rare Beef Pho) and one #16 with beef meatballs. Portions are generous, broth was authentic and perfectly balanced, and order comes with a side of bean sprouts, thai basil, peppers, and lime. Phil likes things spicy hot and appreciated the chili oil and siracha at the table. This place has been here for over 20 years and it's clear to see why. This is the best meal I (Phil) have had in Syracuse and recommend to people seeking authentic Vietnamese pho, a hearty warm meal, or anyone looking to try a new cuisine! We recommend bringing cash to avoid the credit card fee

    House special Pho Dac Biet

    Excellent Vietnamese food with top notch service! Extensive menu with cash discount & ample parking.

    Beef Pho Dac Biet

    I absolutely love the pho from this place ! It is one of the best and authentic ones in the area. I think their costumer service can use a little bit of work but I do enjoy the food. I also am not a fan that they take a "tip" automatically. The place is a gem. It's spacious. The parking is also street parking for anyone interested.

    Flavourful pho and yummy chicken Service was average. Will go again for the food and Don't put those orange chillies in your pho..you will burn your mouth..already informed you!

    I have not been here for years. I finally came back because I took a travel assignment in Syracuse. Happy to come back and bring my boyfriend here to try too. It was busy when we went for lunch but was still able to get seated in 10 mins. I love the food here. They are so good. I tried the new century egg rolls and it was really good. I ordered The Bun Bo Hue and loved it. My boyfriend ordered the Vermicelli Bowl but don't know which one and he really enjoys it too. This place has always been my to go to spot on Syracuse.

    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.

    You can never go wrong with pho. We had the pan fried dumplings which were a bit greasy and two…read morephos. The broth was good - sadly also a bit too greasy as well when it came out.

    Must stop spot for hot pot!…read more I have always been a fan of red chili, but I've finally had the chance to do hot pot, and it was amazing. 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. The cake was tasty - basically just a chocolate lava cake. Additionally the ice cream it came with was a nice addition. All in all, a fine meal option in the area.
