Great place in the area for Vietnamese. They also have Chinese food options but are kind of made with a Vietnamese twist. Pho bowls are huge. Lots of meat and topping options for your pho. Dining area is on the smaller side reminiscent of a hole in the wall Chinese take out. Service was ok. Nothing special or disastrous. read more

I really enjoyed this place and their service was fabulous. One thing was that there was no menu item for just ordering the beef broth. I wasn't feeling great, and the lady was so accommodating. And the food was fabulous. I took an extra broth to go. read more

It's an unassuming location but we wanted pho and so here we were. We picked our own seat and sat down. The service is okay. The lady is nice once we found something in common with her. The guy can be a bit abrasive and doesn't know how to talk to young kids, kinda scared my four year old. Food was good. Grilled chicken sandwich was great. The bread was crunchy but soft, as if it was freshly baked! The pho was good, too. Perhaps next time we will do takeout instead if we're in the area. Good option for Viet noodle soup. read more

Really good quality flavorful food, nice portions, good price. Ordered take out and the food was ready super quickly. I liked the restaurant interior as well even though I didn't sit down to eat. I appreciate that they were open on a holiday, my date and I were famished and needed some munchies. read more

Excellent Pho if you're ever in Groton CT area. I had the beef Pho and it was delicious. I had plenty of chile oil to spice my Pho to my liking. My wife had the vermicelli with shrimp. Her meal was delicious. We will dine here again if we're whenever we visit Groton CT area. read more

The pho was pretty good. Service, was not great at all. The lady (maybe the owner) that was the waitress was so rude. We just ask a simple question, and she said whatever is on the menu is what we have with an attitude. Then we asked another question, she raised her voice.. we would've left, but it was the only pho place nearby and the kids were hungry. read more

The summer rolls and pho are the best in the region. Highly recommend. Love the raw beef on the side pho, and the chicken is excellent too.

Definitely a hole in the wall! They have a Chinese menu and a Vietnamese menu!! The table on the side of the restaurant ordered from the Chinese menu (pu pu platter) and it looked amazing! We saw what they ordered after our food already came out and we said we wish we had gotten the pupu platter too but we knew we would Be too full ! I ordered the XL Pho combination and then told them to add the squid and shrimp for $5 more ($17 total). This was SO HUGE, tasty and filling. I will definitely order this over and over again! They weren't stingy with the noodles or meat!! Bae ordered the chicken curry stir fry with rice. She said the chicken didn't taste like the curry she was used to be she enjoyed it. I tasted her food and it was delicious!!! If I'm around Groton again, my old college stomping ground (new London) I'm definitely coming back! Affordable, attentive and kind waitress, authentic and simple! read more

Everything was delicious and plentiful here late Sunday night on the July 4th weekend: green papaya and grilled beef salad, shredded chicken salad, chicken and brisket pho, and the grilled pork banh mi my son ordered just to try. My daughter liked her bubble tea. Food came quickly and the owners were chatty as we closed the place down. Place was comfortable if nothing fancy in a strip mall. Wish we lived closer. read more

Definitely recommend their pho and bubble tea! You can taste the amount of time they put in their broth for the pho. Their Chinese menu when it is available is definitely not worth it but their other menu is. Plenty of parking and approximately 12 tables inside with seating for 2-4 people a table. read more

best authentic pho in the Groton area I have tried. I would eat here everyday if I could lol the #17 is my favorite.

Came here last year hoping to get some nice Vietnamese food. Walked in and there are "pageant " bikini posters of young women all over the walls and an "after dark" channel on the tv. Made me very uncomfortable as a women. We went for an early dinner so around 3/4pm. The pho tasted like dirty water and was not my favorite. Definitely an experience. read more

Food had no flavor which is surprising because lemongrass is distinctively a pungent flavor. Server had an attitude and served her friends/ possibly family before our table even though we came in earlier. Not our cup of tea read more

Pho was really good but we found a bug (looked like a gnat) in it. There was at least 3 in my soup, and 1 in my husband's. The owner took it away before I could take a photo of it, and claimed it was burnt stuff from the stew pot. But we definitely saw wings on it. They comped our meal, but we won't be going back. Sad because it was delicious. read more

Ok pho, good BBQ pork vermicelli bowl but needs more meat, found a hair in my pho, and ok service. It's a small restaurant with ~10 tables inside and no outdoor seating. It seemed clean enough inside. The man waiting on us wasn't super friendly but we got our food in good time and it was hot. The pho wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't bad. I was going to tell them I found a hair in it but they brought us the check immediately after so I think they wanted us to leave as the restaurant was starting to get crowded. Overall, eh experience but probably one of the only places to get pho in Groton. read more

The best Pho restaurant in the area in my opinion. I ordered the vegetarian pho. The tofu was cooked to perfection and they included a wide variety of vegetables to include shitake mushrooms, bokchoy, nappa cabbage, carrots, onions, broccoli, and cauliflower. The menu is extensive but its always great to have options. It is one of the few authentic Vietnamese restaurant that I could find. Generous portion sizes, friendly staff, and very clean facility! read more

Sadly another place that I loved has gone downhill. Got the pho. Soup: overly sweet with no complexity. Definitely not as good as it used to be. Potion/meat: really skimped on the meat. My wife got meatball and tripe and there was less than two meatballs worth of meat cut in quarters. My noodles were overcooked from the start and were all short and broken It makes me sad because I have gone here since opening night. Not going back. read more

Best pho I think I've ever had. The rolls are amazing, I go there at least once a week. Always had great service as well. Also always very timely with the food. read more

The service wasn't the friendliest in the world when we went here, but the pho was great. It isn't the best pho I've ever had in my life, but it was pretty solid. The beef and noodles were on point and the peanut sauce that came with the summer rolls was fantastic. All food came out very quickly and the size of the pho was huge! I came here starving and left very full. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very casual so perfect for grabbing a quick lunch or dinner. Like I mentioned earlier, the service wasn't super friendly but at least everything was fast. The taste of the food is enough to give it four stars. read more

Wow. The pho is authentic, fresh and amazing! My mother, who grew up in Vietnam, loved it. It's the real deal. Highly recommend the pho and other soups. We ate a late lunch. The place was clean and the owner very kind. Will be back! Yay. read more

The bowl is neat, nicely decorated and full of stuff. The only thing I am not satisfied is the taste of the broth, just like water mix with some pho spices and salt, nothing like the real broth of pho. read more

If you are feeling cold and your soul needs a warm hug, stop by Phantasia for some delicious and hot pho. The broth in all the pho I have tried is super flavorful and tasty. I have only had (but really enjoy) their chicken pho and their beef pho with brisket however everything looks fantastic. I look forward to coming back to try more delicious soups and Vietnamese appetizers. read more

Phantasia Restaurant - Pho with brisket - Chinese Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

This place is a very authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered the pho with No 31 shrimp, shredded pork, & quail eggs & it was very good. The broth was homemade & perfectly balanced. It was an ample size also. I also ordered the combination fried rice for lunch for the next few days & it was delicious. read more

The food is amazing! Fantastic noodle bowls and other entrees. Can't go wrong here. I usually get take out. Not exactly cozy & comfy, but the food is wonderful. read more

Beware of GPS on your phone as sometimes the shop that shows two-tenths of a mile away may only two shops away from where you just left! Yes, it only cost me a little gasoline needlessly starting the car, but it was so worth it in the end! I've been wanting some lemongrass chicken for a few months now and after looking at Phantasia's menu number two (with a little help from a great waitress!!) my long wait was about to end! The service here is fantastic - great staff that is friendly, willing to assist, and frequently make checks on how you're doing. As far as the cuisine, Phantasia advertises itself as a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant. And yes, they have two menus to prove it! You will get both versions when you are seated - the Vietnamese is a little harder to read but you can work through it with a little patience and support from your waitress! In the end, I was very happy with my meal - even though it was a little hotter than I normally handle it!! But I got two meals out of it so I'm not complaining! I'll work the heat levels out on visit number two some time in the near future! RECOMMEND: HIGH read more

Phantasia Restaurant - Lemongrass chicken very tasty!! And spicy!!! - Chinese Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

Really really good Vietnamese! I've had their pho, banh mi, and vermicelli. Their pho broth is good (not the best I've ever had in my life but still good), with tasty beef and noodles. The banh mi is a little small but is authentic with crunchy bread, juicy BBQ pork, and carrots and greens. The vermicelli is also excellent with its sauce, pieces of egg roll and noodles. Did I mention everything is very very reasonably priced? Most items are around $10 with their banh mi in the $6 dollar price range. I've attached a picture of my meal of banh mi and vermicelli and it was only $16 with tax before tip. This is a restaurant that is severely underrated and deserves customers based on it's excellent food, fair prices and authenticity. read more

Pho is great but don't sleep on the wonton soup! It's a nice Find in Connecticut and great. If your in the mood for Hong Kong style buy wonton soup it's great. That and brisket pho were our favs. read more

Have eaten here one time, but in my opinion it's our best option for Vietnamese food between New York and Boston. Ordered pho and a noodle dish, dine-in. Until we can make it back to Orange County, this will be our new spot... read more

Closes at 9, please update to reflect. The food looked good but was closing as we pulled out after finding it via Yelp and driving from the highway. read more

I am unsure where to begin with this review.. Pho is my favorite food and I am always on the hunt for great pho places around the country.. This place is AMAZING!! My boyfriend and I were only in town for a few days while he was taking a pilot course he was in need of the certification. He ate lunch there every single day and I was able to join him 2 times for lunch and once for dinner! Their spring rolls are AMAZING!! The perfect blend of crunchy and soft. There peanut sause was perfectly creamy and seasoned! I got the vegetable Pho each time. Unlinked me, my boyfriend is a meat eater and tried several different phos including sea food, beef and after seeing my pho and sharing some veggies with him he got a veggie pho and added meat to it. When he got it without veggies he would add double meat. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, the broth was just right. The lady who took care of us was understanding about how much lime and basil I love to put into my pho. The service here is just as great as the food! The same lady served us every time we were there. She was always cheerful, kind, friendly and a smile on her face! She got so used to.us coming in that she memorized what we got and knew before we said anything! She confirmed what we wanted and was spot on every time! I am impressed! Thank you for the phenomenal food and service!! When we are back in town we will definitely be back!! read more

This is me and my husbands favorite restaurant of all time!!! The food is absolutely amazing and the people are the sweetest! We always get the pho and spring rolls and they never miss. Thank you Phantasia! See you soon!! read more

Great Great Place! I had summer Roll - super delicious Egg noodle wonton Pho w extra noodles - so good read more

Decided to grab lunch here on my way back to NY. Restaurant is in the strip mall and not the easiest to find, but it's right next to the Job Lot. You can eat inside since they tables are distanced and they kept the front doors open, which made it a little humid. I did see them sanitize after patrons leave. Ordered the pho, summer rolls and sesame chicken and thought the food was ok. One of the things I look at is how fresh (or wilting) the basil is that they serve with the pho. Server wasn't friendly, but he was quick and efficient. No lunch specials. read more

On a spur of the moment stopped in for a quick lunch. Used Yelp to find, and it worked, Great tasty food, good sized portions and very friendly service. he lunch options are a bargain for the price with a god sized main course and an appetizer choice, which gets served at the same time on the same plate. You can make up some interesting combinations! I expect to be back and try the Pho next! read more

What a ripoff!! I have been going to this restaurant for MANY years, since they were in business in Norwich. I wanted to support them during this covid-19. Drove there on Monday and they lost power so I had to go home empty handed. Was determined to support them enough that I made a second trip today (Thursday), it's an hour drive round trip to go there. Ordered two pho combo, a spring roll and a Thai iced tea, the bill was $39! Then to come home and see the Thai iced tea is NOT filled up, 3/4 cup, and the pho were SO SMALL! ( see pictures) every other Vietnamese takeout I've ordered in the past are MUCH bigger and for less expensive! I'm beyond disappointed and will not be returning again after being a loyal customer of theirs for over 10 years. read more

The boiled seafood dishes are a little too sweet but overall delicious especially when you ask for extra spicy. Disappointed they only had crawfish and no longer serve with whole head shrimp. Don't forget to get a bowl of white rice to sop up all those juices. Also $3 beers during happy hour, nice touch! read more

I went into this place expecting at least mediocre Vietnamese food. We ordered the spring rolls and received frozen and fried egg rolls. (The menu has spring rolls and egg rolls) The egg rolls were also frozen in the middle and piping hot on the outside. So essentially we paid ~$6.00 for two small frozen and refried egg rolls. We also ordered chicken pho and spicy beef pho. Both were below average. The beef pho tasted awful, like someone had accidentally dropped half a bottle of fish sauce in it. We felt we couldn't properly communicate with servers since their English was not great. I wanted to order a Vietnamese coffee but called it a day after I received my food. I would not recommend going to this place if you are in the mood for real Vietnamese food. It will disappoint. read more

This is the only place I know around here where I can grab a bowl of pho, and I know it will taste delicious, so that's a plus. My only gripe about the pho experience is that the toppings seem rather anemic compared to other places I've been to for noodles; for example, I only had one sprig of basil leaves last time I ordered my usual pho tai (beef), some bean sprouts, and no jalapeños. I have yet to try the Chinese part of the menu or even the other Vietnamese offerings, though the hubs has, and he loved his bun (vermicelli noodles) dishes, so that might be worth trying. I do want to try their banh mis, and they look good, so that's another plus for this place. Service is always decent, the space is pretty big, and there are almost always people eating here, which is nice to see. Overall, for a bowl of pho (light on the toppings), this is the place for me. read more
