Had a really enjoyable dinner here! I ordered the Char Siu (bbq pork) Banh mi and Cha Gio (crispy rolls). What I love about their banh mi is the rolls, which are made in house daily here. However the rest of the banh mi was also very good. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean too so I highly recommend! read more

Moving back from Seattle, I found myself desperately missing Vietnamese cuisine - it had become such a dietary staple during my time there. In Seattle, one of the first things your newly found friends will do is take you out for phở. It becomes the backdrop for everything: welcomings, social gatherings, dates, casual hangouts, and even work meetings inevitably revolve around steaming bowls of broth and noodles. My memories are filled with late-night vermicelli bowls, summer days savoring bánh mì, warm summer evenings enjoying blood duck soup and fresh lettuce wraps with bún chả Hà Nội - all perfectly paired with rich Vietnamese coffee. Moving back to Buffalo, I genuinely mourned the loss of these flavors and the culture surrounding them. That is, until I discovered Pham Kitchen. From the moment I walked in, I knew I'd found something special. Their phở is absolutely delicious and deeply flavorful - the kind of broth that clearly simmers for hours and speaks to authentic technique. The vermicelli bowls are incredible, offering that perfect balance of fresh herbs, crisp vegetables, and perfectly seasoned proteins. But it was my first bite of a Pham Kitchen bánh mì that truly transported me. The combination of their tender beef, the subtle heat of jalapeños, brightness of lemongrss and rich pâté created a wave of pure euphoria that took me right back to those Seattle days. It's that magical moment when a single bite can collapse time and distance. What makes Pham Kitchen even more special is the personal touch from the owner, who has an remarkable memory for regular customers - always remembering what you ordered last time and asking how you enjoyed it. I've overheard conversations with first-time diners as the owner enthusiastically guides them through the menu, helping newcomers discover these incredible dishes for the first time. While their menu is thoughtfully curated rather than extensive, everything is executed to perfection. They make their bread fresh daily, prepare their sauces in-house, and offer a wonderful selection of boba teas. I highly recommend trying their egg cloud coffee - it features a deep, rich, and bold coffee flavor topped with a creamy, dreamy egg foam that's absolutely divine. Pham Kitchen isn't just filling a gap in Buffalo's dining scene; it's creating a genuine cultural bridge, one bowl and one bánh mì at a time. For anyone missing Vietnamese flavors or looking to experience them for the first time, this is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended. read more

Came here to say for a Yelp event. There were numerous dishes to try and most were gone because our table was last. So we ordered a Pho Beef and a Pho chicken. Unfortunately it wasn't very flavorful and very little meat. Most of the food I sampled was average compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. The thing I disliked the most was the restaurant looked like they had taken over a closed Ted's Hotdogs. A meal here with an appetizer,main course, beverage and tip will be over $30. When I pay that price I want a nice comfortable setting. Service was excellent! read more

Everything at Phams kitchen that we ordered was spectacular and very fresh. The meats (pork, lemongrass beef, char siu, etc.) were flavored so well and had an amazing charred flavor. Nothing was greasy or overcooked. The vegetable toppings on the vermicelli and rice dishes were so fresh and added that needed crunch. The house made rolls for the banh mi were so crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. We ended up ordering the beef lemongrass banh mi and the pork vermicelli bowl. I couldn't wait to get home to eat it! I will be back 100% to try a few more items! Yum! read more

Went for lunch and got the Bahn Mi sandwich with Char siu (BBQ pork) [$8.25] and a Passion fruit slushy with popping bubbles added. Everything was delicious and came out quickly by the staff. The passionfruit slushy was the perfect compliment for a toasty day outside. The sandwich was filling and really I loved the taste of the barbecued pork, even though my favorite type of this sandwich is just with grilled pork. Definitely looking forward to returning to try some of the other items on the menu, including the Pho. read more

A bit embarrassed about taking so long to write this. My excuse is that every time I visit I'm so happy with the whole experience it's really all about me. Man that sounds selfish but I assure you it's all the businesses fault. I'm always welcomed so warmly, treated so well and enjoy the food so thoroughly feel so lucky. I originally visited for the first time from a recommendation. I asked my new Doctors office personnel where I could get a good meal and they all said Pham's at the same time. As a fan of good Vietnamese cuisine a bowl of Pho sounded just about right. They were spot on. It was as good a bowl as I've ever had. Not bragging but I've had a lot of Pho across the USA in a many cities and towns, upscale and simple and this bowl was excellent. I was so happy. As I live over 20 miles away it wasn't exactly on my usual rounds. Only after a Drs appointment to start. Then a bit more often if I found myself at least half way there. Then I started getting Pho and a Special Bahn Mi sandwich (w/extra pate') - togo. Then a couple of sandwiches to go. Then I treated my wife who now loves the Lemongrass Beef and now considers visiting a legitimate destination meal. If you knew my wife you'd know this is a pretty big deal. So now I'm becoming a regular and couldn't be happier. I know there's other wonderful menu items but for now they'll have to wait. Oh another guest turned me on to a Vietnamese Egg coffee, WOW. If you like a strong, sweet, creamy, flavor filled coffee give it a try. I've had both iced and hot and they're equally good. read more

Everything here hits so hard viet meatball bahn mi with sriracha mayo is definitely my favorite thing

B1. Dac Biet Banh Mi - baguette is light, airy, and crispy with a thin crackly crust and soft, fluffy interior. paired well with their savory house-made cold cuts and tangy mix of pickled daikon radish and carrots. the cilantro and cucumber slices added a refreshing contrast to the spicy kick from the jalapeños. the spread of mayo and pate adds a creamy, rich, and umami element to this banh mi. overall, a very filling dish perfect to grab on the go or if you want something quick! R1. Pham's special - the grilled pork is SO juicy and tender, has a savory, slightly sweet, and smoky flavor. rice soaked up all the smoky and savory flavors from the meat well. served with a salad side of lettuce and pickled daikon radish and carrots which provide a crunchy, tangy, and refreshing contrast to the savory pork. dish also came with an egg meat cake which is a bit too firm and peppery for me but adds extra protein to this dish. Beef Pho - broth is not too clear but has deep rich flavor from simmered beef bones and aromatics. topped with various meat cuts (brisket, flank, beef balls) that are tender and soaked with all the pho broth aromatics. noodles are thin, soft and chewy - I do prefer the thick fresh pho noodles though. Lychee Tea with Tapioca - tea was light and refreshing, on the sweeter side but not bitter at all. strong lychee flavor which I love! boba were chewy and slightly sweet - not hard or overly soft. Avocado Smoothie - creamy with mild buttery avocado aftertaste, sweetness was not overpowering at all, cold and refreshing Our party of 5 randomly stopped by for a late lunch at 2PM on a Thursday and was seated right away without any wait. We are Vietnamese from Little Saigon and were pleasantly surprised at how good all these dishes were - the quality and taste were top notched! Service was quick and friendly - owner and staff were so nice :D read more

After being introduced to this restaurant at a Yelp event several months ago we returned for a great dinner. We shared a Char Sui(a sandwich) and a huge bowl of chicken Pho. The Char Sui was nicely packed with seasoned pork, veggies and some fresh jalapeños. The Pho had a lot of noodles and shredded chicken. A small plate is served on the side with some fresh jalapeños, bean sprouts and mint leaves to be added to the Pho. We were pleased by the attentive service, including a woman who might be the manager. She stopped by with more than "how are you enjoying your meal". When we mentioned our problem with the really long noodles;she explained that the Vietnamese never use forks and spoons. Chop sticks get the job done! Guess we should return so we can practice eating Pho with chop sticks. read more

Delicious food!! I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food - and Pham's Beef pho, veggie pho, meatball bahn mi and strawberry bubble tea were on point. The restaurant was previously a little diner so if you're looking for serious sit down vibes this likely wouldn't tickle your fancy but if you're about the food this. is. It. Plus super friendly staff, helpful with questions I had and bring your food right over super quick! read more

After all the great reviews, had to try it! They really redecorated nicely! The staff was so friendly and welcoming! I had the vermicelli combo bowl. The lemongrass beef , pork and shrimp were good but the whole dish lacked flavor. I ended up putting the hot sauce and other sauce in to add some flavor. My husband had chicken pho that was even blander. My brother had the banh mei, the roll was very good but hardly any filling. My sister in law had the pork rice bowl and said the meat was very tender. Maybe we had a bad day? Not sure if I will try again. read more

Pham's Kitchen - Vietnamese Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Was out by the Walden Galleria doing to some retailing and found this place....open at 9AM (may come in handy for folks who need an early hangover remedy....). Very authentic (looks like the building was a former fast food joint)...the pork/shrimp summer rolls are excellent, chicken pho is very good w the beef broth (anise is noticed in it). The owner is a lovely lady who gave me some jasmine tea to start my morning. It's a nondescript place w excellent food and a lot of unlikely folks who take a liking to Vietnamese food. Will by my staple pho joint along w Phovana and Pho Dollar when I'm out in the Niagara Frontier. read more

Decided to stop in for lunch today after work, walking through the parking lot a delicious aroma of Vietnamese food being cooked hits your senses. Cute place with tables and booths for dining in, but I saw many people come and go with take out as well. I ordered the Chicken Pho . Perfect for a cold fall day. The bowl itself was bigger than my head! I tasted the broth first, so flavorful and robust. The rice noodles were delicious, and the chicken was so good. They serve bean sprouts, lime wedges, and basil on the side to add in as well. Who I'm assuming is the owner came over to our table to ask us how everything was. She explained that they use three different broths for each soup, beef, vegan and chicken with large chicken bones for flavor. You could really tell with how tasty the broth was. Next time I will try beef or brisket, yum. read more

Maybe it just not our cup of tea. we all didn't like it! we both like Chinese and Japanese but not this ? We started with the shrimp and pork Pham's rolls. I think I got a small piece of each, maybe, mostly lettuce and rice! I got the chicken Pho . It was bland, no flavor needed Salt and pepper. I put several sauces that they had but all it did was make it hot not flavorful. The noodles were tasteless! The wife got the Vermicelli combination, didn't like it. The meat was tender and delicious the rest was bland. The couple we were with got the Banh Mi they hardly got any meat, mostly veggies, not happy either, l looked at all the pics on other posts and our didn't look as full as them. Maybe they had an off day, but sorry , will not recommend or return, read more

This is my 3rd time here. First was for a Yelp event. Second was for takeout Pho. Third was to try the ban mi. Every visit was excellent! Food is so delicious. The bread is baked fresh daily. Would be happy with the bread alone! Tried the cafe sua da. Rivals Starbucks for sure. Will definitely be back again with friends. Owner checks in regularly with patrons. read more

Since my daughter is vegan, and Phams has a good selection of vegan options, Phams has become a regular place to go as a family. The Bahn Mi is outstanding, and the rolls they use are baked fresh every day by the owner herself. That's the kind of personal touch that speaks to the high quality of the food you will experience at Phams. We gave them a try, I believe within the first couple of weeks of their opening. It was quiet most nights and the owner would come to our table and talk to us, and get to know us. Now when we walk in she greets us like family. They're busier now, which is good to see. We would love to see them have great success, and they seem to be on the right path. They certainly seem to have the right philosophy combining great food, with a good variety to select from, and excellent customer service. read more

We placed a LARGE order through door dash for our office. Everything was packaged up perfectly - nothing spilled or was missing, and it was labeled per person. The food itself was absolutely delicious. I got the beef pho - great broth and toppings. The pho came in a large to-go bowl, so it was great for take out! I think I could have won a contest with how quickly I ate my lunch today lol read more

They've got Bahn mi! They're pretty good not great but everybody is very friendly. They messed our order up like 3x which was a bit annoying but we got there eventually. They've got a nice selection of other things to try Ramen and appetizers but a suprinsgly small amount of available Boba tees. Glad we stopped in will try again sometime read more

If you are looking for a good authentic Banh Mi (especially with cha lu or aka Vietnamese pork bologna head cheese), I would highly recommend Pham's Kitchen! They make the bread, cha lu, etc in house! The pho and Bun (vermicelli) were good good too! We got the Bo Kho (beef stew) for dinner and it was delicious! I would have liked the beef to be a little more tender but it was still delicious! Our 16month old daughter loved everything too! Lan (the owner) was so sweet and got to know us. Aside from the great food, the environment was clean and organized! Even the bathroom was clean! I do with they had a baby changing table (we don't usually like using baby changing tables but I know many families prefer to do it would be a good add). Definitely coming back! read more

So I got a message about a new Vietnamese restaurant that opened in Cheektowaga and it came just in time for our monthly lunch out. So Phams is an expansion of the food court restaurant from Galleria Mall owned by an incredibly hard working young woman. Coming in at 4:00 am to bake the French bread for the Bahn Mi sandwiches for both locations and making fresh taro for the bubble tea are just a few of the many things that it takes to keep this restaurant busy and food yummy. I had the vegetarian Bahn Mi sandwich which was filled with fresh cilantro and crunchy pickled daikon and fried tofu on that very fresh baguette. It was perfectly seasoned without being at all oily. My friend had a perfectly cooked fried egg added to her meat Bahn Mi sandwich that she found delicious and finished happily. We shared an order of veggie Pham rolls which turned out to be the fresh wrap rolls not the deep fried ones. They came with a dipping sauce for flavoring. It was my mistake in that I didn't realize I wasn't getting the deep fried rolls which are my preference over the fresh wrapped ones. The bubble tea was delicious but had one flaw... ice. It was difficult to get to the tapioca with the ice in the way. Otherwise it was really special to have taro made fresh ground instead of made from a powder mix. The same thing happened with my friends Vietnamese jelly coffee. She had a difficult time getting to the jelly around the ice but the flavor was delicious. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating with bright light and beautiful plants. And when the weather is good there is outdoor seating as well. Next visit we will have to try the Pho but that fresh baked baguette is really hard to pass up!!! The service is outstanding and the food delicious. Give them a try when you're in the area or go there !! It's worth a try !! read more

Upon hearing a lot of good stuff about Phams Kitchen, we decided to check it out. We ordered the food online, and the staff was extremely friendly. Our food arrived shortly. We both ordered Pho. Most people rave about the Pho, but I wasnt too fond of the pho. It tasted very buttery, it was missing the lemongrass flavor, a weak beef broth, and didn't taste very authentic. I get that many appreciate the buttery flavor, but it was too fusion-y for me. Considering how friendly the staff was and how clean the inside looked, I will definitely visit in the future and try something else. In the future, I will probably try their noodle or rice dishes. read more

Good place to eat. Friendly service. Excellent food. Good atmosphere. The food is just authentic and delicious and healthy.

My BF and I tried Pham's Kitchen Friday after seeing it while driving by earlier in the day. We looked it up online and saw it had only been open about a month. It's a more casual atmosphere with counter ordering, but that didn't bother us. Prices seemed a little high for the quantity of food, but everything was very fresh and tasty. We shared the veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce which were good. I ordered the bun with tofu, my BF ordered the bun with 5-spice chicken. Fish sauce came out on the side. I would have liked some fresh herbs on top- scallion, thai basil, cilantro, etc. Otherwise, the bowl was delicious. The owner came out to talk to us while we were eating and she confirmed that everything is made in house- including the bread. She bakes it daily. She even has equipment ordered so she can make her own tofu in-house. Everything can be made vegan, you just have to ask. For most items it's a matter of swapping tofu for the meat and maybe omitting fish sauce (if there is any). This is one of only two places in our region that offers vegetable pho that isn't made with beef or chicken broth- she simmers the vegetable broth overnight. I can't wait to try that next time we stop in. We'll definitely be back!! read more

We've never had authentic Vietnamese until now.... WOW! The food was absolutely incredible. Ordered a lot for us three newbies to get a taste of what they had to offer. Sandwich rolls were so flakey and delicious and looked like baked on site. The sandwich was tasty. Pork rice bowl was amazing and Pho bowls were huge and packed with flavor. Everything was so fresh. Crispy pork and chicken spring rolls were very, very good too. Portion sizes were more than ample. The owner was very friendly. She came out from the kitchen to meet us and had a very nice talk, they've been open here 3 months. She used to sell just sandwiches in the Galleria Mall apparently. Comfy little dining room for an old Burger King building. Was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. This will be a regular dining option or us in the future. read more
