This Vietnamese restaurant is in a small shopping center with several other Asian restaurants as well, and has plenty of parking in the lot. First off, the folks who work here are very kind and attentive. I was quickly seated, and given a rundown of the menu before the waitress left to get water and utensils. When they returned in 3 minutes they were ready to take my order, and were receptive to my requested modifications to the dish. My steaming hot pho arrived about five minutes after I ordered it. The broth has a great flavor, and didn't seem too salty or oily. The aromatics were fresh, clean and plentiful. My only critique is that the noodles were about 15% overcooked. The restaurant uses noodles that seem a little more substantive than what I'm normally served, which I really liked. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and I'd consider returning to try their other dishes.

Both the older restaurant "Pho Keizer" (just South of here on River Road) have the same owners, their offerings and quality are similar. My wife loves their soup bases. Since she is quite sensitive to hot spices, we are careful to order the lowest level of chiles offered in dishes we order. I, then, increase the heat level by using the chiles available at the table. In that way we are able to share different dishes served "family style." My own favorite dishes are the egg rolls (Chả Giò) and the vermicceli salad (with grilled pork and egg roll). We also dislike the fresh coriander so ask them not to use it in dishes we order.

We were not disappointed. It is a small venue, clean and well maintained. The staff were hospitable and made helpful suggestions based on our flavor preferences. We ordered Tom Kha, Basil Eggplant with pork, and a ginger vegetable stirfry. We ordered all dishes with the least amount of chilies possible since my wife cannot eat them and I can add chilies from jars on the table. All the dishes were delicious, each uniquely seasoned and servings large enough to share. We ate our fill and still took home some of each. Yes, we'll be going back.

GETTING HERE:…read more (Traveling); Located next to Dollar Tree in Salem. Yelp has the address correct on the app. MOOD: Getting ready for green curry! Ready to grub hard. REVIEW: This was a NO-GO. So dissatisfied and disappointed in this experience! Food: I had ordered the Green Curry level 0. Had minimal flavor but/and was terribly over-watered down to meet my request of mild, hence the lack of flavor. I ordered brown rice that she forgot to bring out. 1/5 Mango Sticky Rice: It had OK flavor in the rice but mango wasn't ripe and was tough to cut. 1/5 Shrimp Pad Thai: My guest didn't enjoy it at all. 1/5 The chicken satay was OK, but my guest had to prepare - herself! - the lettuce wraps. She was served a wedge salad (the lettuce) and had to create the wrap herself. She said it was filled with salt. 1/5 Service: Oh. My. Rude. Unfriendly. Didn't smile. The language barrier was PROFOUND and it was very uncomfortable for our group. She didn't understand our questions and couldn't respond appropriately. It was horrible. Ambiance: It was clean inside and is painted purple inside. Interesting. I heard GREAT things about this place. So bummed. Eat here with caution. Hoped for better!

A noticeable decline at Marco Polo Global Restaurant…read more It is with genuine disappointment that I share how significantly Marco Polo Global Restaurant has changed--and not for the better. Having been a loyal patron for years, I was unaware that the restaurant had undergone an ownership change approximately one year ago. Unfortunately, the shift in management has been accompanied by a marked decline in both service and food quality. Service Concerns Table service fell well below expectations. Our server did not introduce herself, nor did she demonstrate any gestures of hospitality throughout the meal. Twice, plates were handed to us stacked, leaving the guests to distribute them ourselves--an approach inconsistent with professional table service. Water glasses were never refilled, and there was a general lack of attentiveness to our table. Menu Changes The menu has been reduced to a simple two‑sided laminated sheet, a stark departure from the former Marco Polo menu that once offered an impressive variety of thoughtfully curated dishes. Food Quality The food, regrettably, did not meet even basic standards: Singapore Noodles: The most disappointing dish of the evening. I shared my feedback with the server, who later reported that the cook had not seasoned it properly and offered to remake it. We declined. Salad Rolls: Flavorless, with a peanut sauce that was thin, cold, and lacking depth. Broccoli with Tofu: The broccoli was overcooked, wilted, and visually unappealing. The dish was marginal at best. Green Beans with Garlic: Cooked adequately, but lacking seasoning and overall flavor. Vegan Pot-stickers: The one bright spot--excellent texture, well‑prepared, and accompanied by a flavorful sauce. Overall Atmosphere The ambiance felt tired, and the restaurant appears to have lost the vitality and care that once made it a thriving local favorite. Based on our experience, it seems clear that both the kitchen and front‑of‑house staff would benefit from renewed training and leadership. Our server confirmed that the business changed hands about a year ago, and unfortunately, the decline is evident in nearly every aspect of the dining experience. We will not be returning, and it saddens me to say so--Marco Polo was once a beloved establishment in the community.

Very small. The Tso sauce tasted more like a sweet and sour teriyaki. This is the first Chinese food I have bought that hasn't provided several meals. The price for what you get is high, as these 2 items cost around $20. That didn't include good ol'fortune cookies, either. I ordered online, so unsure about the ambiance or the service. I will not order from here, again, and wish I never had in the first place. Sad.
