We started off with Mai Tai and Scorpion cocktails which were very good. For appetizers we had pot stickers with tempura sauce and spring rolls with sweet chili sauce and both were fantastic. Our main meals were house fried rice with seafood & vegetables, beef pho noodle soup, crazy noodles with chicken and Vietnamese ramen noodle soup with shrimp & seafood. Everyone agreed that our dinners were delicious and we all took our leftovers home. Drinks and food were very reasonably priced. They also appear to do a great take out business. We will definitely be back to Pho Sure.

That being said, boy was I missing out. Although the location is difficult to reach depending the direction you are coming from, it is well worth the visit. The staff is friendly, our drinks and food came fairly quickly, and everything was delicious. For drinks, we enjoyed the Jade Pendant and Saigon Sunset drinks. For food, we loved the shrimp rockets and Spicy Hue Bowl/ Bun Bo Hue; the Bun Bo Hue was perfectly spicy, flavorful, and contained a decent amount of meat compared to some other Pho places I have been to. Overall, Pho Sure is great for a casual dinner with friends or a date, and I will definitely be returning again!

The first dish that came out was a FAIL, but not for the reason you may expect. There was a big FLY on the dish. This grossed me out and we had to tell the waitress immediately. I know accidents do happen, but how does the cook and waitress miss a big fly before bringing it to our table. The waitress was apologetic and brought the dish back to the kitchen (they probably just refried it and remove the fly). The spring rolls came back out for take 2. I wasn't really a fan. It was crispy, which was good, but tasted like ham...and there wasn't any ham in there to my knowledge. My main course was the Bún bò Huế. The broth was tasty. It was bold and flavorful. The meat was unfortunately not tender and a bit chewy. I absolutely love Vietnamese food and eat it regularly, but unfortunately this spot did NOT HIT THE SPOT. I do have to say that the decorations of the restaurant are earthy, well positioned and the best thing I could say about this place. I would give it a 3, but insects of any sort on my dish will knock down by review by at least 1. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

Pho 194 is truly a neighborhood gem and an absolute must-try in Worcester. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by an atmosphere that feels both inviting and vibrant, setting the stage for an outstanding dining experience. One of the standout features is the craft cocktail program. The artisanal mixologist behind the bar demonstrates exceptional creativity and skill, delivering beautifully balanced cocktails that are every bit as memorable as the food itself. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking to try something new, the drink menu is a destination in its own right. The food is equally impressive. Every dish showcases remarkable freshness, with high-quality ingredients and a diverse selection that offers something for everyone. From expertly prepared pho and flavorful Vietnamese specialties to a variety of appealing menu options, each plate arrives bursting with authentic flavor and care. What truly elevates Pho 194, however, is the exceptional service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making every guest feel welcome. Their passion for hospitality shines through in every interaction, creating an experience that is both comfortable and memorable. Pho 194 has earned its reputation as a neighborhood gem by consistently excelling in all the areas that matter most: outstanding craft cocktails, fresh and diverse cuisine, and top-notch service. It's a must-try destination in Worcester, and you won't walk away disappointed. In fact, you may find yourself already planning your next visit before you leave. read more

I just have to say, Pho 194 in Worcester is AMAZING! I've noticed a few negative reviews and honestly, I had such a completely different experience that I felt like I had to share. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was wonderful. A special shoutout to Arty, the bartender--so attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better! One thing I will say is that this place can BUSY so people, just have a little patience! And honestly... if it wasn't busy, would you even want to eat there? When a restaurant is packed, things naturally take a little longer. Good food and good service are worth waiting a few extra minutes for! Don't let a handful of bad reviews keep you from trying this place. My experience was fantastic, and I'll definitely be back! Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. read more

All three times were underwhelming, although the last visit we enjoyed the food more than previous times. I'm guessing they do a lot of takeout, because the place was nearly empty every time we stopped in. In the past we have ordered the Korean bbq fries and there wasn't anything special about them. This last visit we ordered gyoza which was crispy and flavorful, and spicy chili garlic edamame which was basically edamame tossed in sriracha. The bartenders have always been young college kids, most of whom were inattentive and needed to be flagged down several times for service. On our last visit we walked into the empty restaurant and were immediately hit in the face with a strong musty smell...I said to my daughter, "What is that SMELL?" and she couldn't find the words to describe it. Maybe something like a wet dishrag that had been balled up and left to get moldy? So unappealing. If you like Keno, maybe you can overlook all of the negatives and immerse yourself in the game. Otherwise, maybe just order take out.
