Sashimi
Julia T.

Visiting here from ATL for a family reunion. We had a party of about 20+ people Here's an overview of my visit. Service is 10/10- Was greeted at the door with a smile and immediately seated. Server was attentive and explained the menu thoroughly. Everything came out in an orderly and pleasant manner. Food is 10/10- sashimi was so fresh, pad Thai was made deliciously, the wings were incredibly crispy and flavorful (sauce was so good!), Tom yum soup was just right, and the salads we ordered were amazing Highly recommend this restaurant! Support a small mom & pop business and enjoy this delicious food. Will be coming back here every time we visit!

Stopped in for a quick dinner. The server was friendly but unable to answer some basic questions about what was in certain dishes. My friend and I ordered and then food came out fairly quickly but the appetizer came after the entire. The quality of the food was good. Fresh ingredients.

Pretty pricey esp considering portion size.

Living in the GTA, my standards for pho/Asian food is pretty high. So I really try NOT to eat Asian food when I'm in Buffalo. Located on the ground level of what appears to be a low-rise apartment complex/student dorm, Pho 54 and the surrounding commercial units appear fairly new. When I arrived during an off-hour, the place was dead. It was shortly after 3pm cut-off and we asked if we could get the Lunch Specials and we were given a "It's DINNER TIME!" as a response from the younger girl who was waitressing. It would've been better if she had asked someone, instead of providing an abrupt answer. I was actually quite surprised by the prices. They were more expensive than Viet places in Toronto! (Definitely NOT a "cheap" dining out option.) Size of the Small did not have much noodles. Bean sprouts didn't look fresh/clean. I did not taste the assorted pho, but my Bo Bun Hue did not have the usual deep red colour and there wasn't much depth of flavour. Ingredients weren't typically what I'm used to. Overall, it is acceptable if you do not have a point of reference for Vietnamese food. If you do, you'll find that it doesn't have the complex flavour that usual pho places have.

We found this restaurant on yelp and decide to come here to check it out. We arrived around 7:30 pm, not much customer inside, the waiter ask us to sit wherever we like, so we pick a booth close to the counter. I ordered Thai Tom yum soup and clay pot braised cat fish, all delicious just a little too much sugar in it. The Tom yum soup looks delicious, but if you stir, not too much stuff in it, 4-5 slice of mushroom plus two medium size shrimp. The braised cat fish is nice, and i ate all the fish then put the veggie into the pot and stir with the sauce, taste good, after veggie, i put my remaining rice in it, husband ate it. He also said a little too sweet. Husband ordered his normal dumplings, Japanese udon noodles and dragon rolls. Nothing bad.

Banh Xeo

I wanted to give this place a try, and I have to say it was a disappointment compared to similar restaurants in the area. I did get takeout, but the issues I'm about to describe are not associated with takeout. I had the most flavorless pad Thai I've had in my life, in fact the dominating subtle flavor was vinegar which was odd. Barely any savory taste other than that. The best part of the pad Thai was the generous portion of tofu included with the meal, although again not very flavorful. The ban xeo also lacked that savory goodness you expect. Sigh. I will not be trying this place again.

B1. Pho Bo  A4. Spring Rolls Dinner
Jennifer C.

This was the most disgusting, bland order of Pho I have ever tried in my entire life. The soup literally tastes like tap water heated up with a sprinkle of salt. I could make chicken stock or ramen soup taste better than this. I added literally chili oil, salt, hoisin sauce, and sriracha and it still tastes like plain water. 0/10 would give negative rating if possible. Please NEVER order the pho here, go somewhere else. Don't pay $16-20 for a bowl of pho soup that you could get by just turning on the hot tap water. This is not ok, I don't know who okayed this to even be on the menu. So disgusting. The spring rolls are ok. 7/10 Ordered pho #1 and spring rolls. NEVER AGAIN, NEVER WILL I ORDER FROM HERE

Spicy Salmon Sushi
Rituparna P.

We did review this place when our friends suggested we go there. The experience was disappointing. We did order a lot of food off the menu. We ordered the Spring rolls, Crispy Calamari, pot stickers, crispy tofu and chicken satay. All were not worth the money. The crispy calamari was still the saving grace. I tried to love the potstickers but the portion sizes were so so small! The chicken satay was dry and my husband said I make better ones at home. The spring rolls looked sad. Sad and thin. We had to order a second helping of Spring Rolls because the first one felt so inadequate. The entrees were again, disappointing too. The fried rice was okayish, and the Pho was bland with no flavour. I specifically asked for Asian Spicy and it was not spicy at all. The broth was flavourless too. The pad kee mow was fine. I didn't expect a Pho place to be this disappointing. I realize I have been using this word a lot but there is no other word that can describe my experience better. My expectations were on a high given the other Pho places I have visited were a such revelations!! The chocolate lava cake was good. But it's not a Pho speciality place. My husband ordered the salmon sushi and said it was more rice than sushi and no avocado despite it saying it had avocados. Very very let down. Wont ever return. Wouldn't recommend to anyone either.

I've been here 54 times. Ish. Ok maybe 4.

I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before She rented me out and then called me a wh*** But at least she took me to Pho 54 Some people think I'm fun, others say I'm a bore Some people think my stuff is great, others will deplore But if you really don't like it, then why not just ignore Instead of sending hate mail while I eat Pho 54 I used to be a little well off, Boba made me poor I used to like non-boba drinks, now drinking them's a chore I used to look like Britney Spears now I look like The Cure But I don't care as long as I can eat Pho 54 What Also known as Studi-pho 54, this is where all the well-to-do and famous of Buffalo come to slurp Pho and shove long, cylindrical Banh Mi down their throats. It's pretty exciting and awesome that this restaurant has opened up right next to my favourite Chinese restaurant in Buffalo, which is China Taste. Pho 54 have absolutely delicious Banh Mi sandwiches and they are well worth the trip if you like Vietnamese food. Popular with the college students and they know how to make a good sandwich. Extremely friendly people here as well, they recognized me from the internet and talked to me extensively and enthusiastically. Definitely one of the better Banh Mi sandwiches I've enjoyed in Buffalo.

I haven't had a lot of experience with pho, but when I walk through the doors of Pho 54 I'm ready for soup and tea and comfort. The service this time was a lot better than the first time I dined at this establishment. This time, I ordered the ginger tea, which came in a little packet, and you can add as many pellets of tea as you would like. It had a good flavor. i didn't use the entire packet, and took the rest home. My dining partner and I started off with the bahn mi. It was absolutely delicious. It said that it was gluten free, with the gluten free soy sauce, but it came on a baguette, so I was confused at how that could be gluten free. My main course was a medium B5, the Hu Tieu Nam Vang with rice noodles and without the pork. It contained pieces of calamari and whole shrimp. It was delicious. I had enough left over to eat dinner the next day.

Absolutely amazing food and service! My parents ordered here for our monthly game day lunch!…read more First off the owner was so nice We wanted a pick up for 11/1145, and he said that be hard as they open at 11, and if 12 would be fine. Of course no problem. We still got there and food was ready by 1145. He told us he came in a little early make sure it was done! How nice was that. He also threw in a free Thai tea drink for us! Which was absolutely delicious. All the food was just packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. We ordered the coconut shrimp. I don't eat shrimp but everyone said it was amazing. Then we also had the crab rangoon, let me tell you by far some of the best I've had. Normally you get a ragoon filled with cream cheese and hardly any crab, this was the opposite. These were plump and fried to perfection filled with tons of crab! For entries we went with the Burnese beef fried rice, Papaya salad, stir fried pork ribs and sesame chicken. Everything was amazing. The papaya salad you have an option to pick your heat level 1 thru 5, we went a two, which he explained was medium. Well the two was spicyyyyy. So depending on your heat sensors, order with caution. For me the heat was perfect, I definitely could not have went any higher, but a few people in the party struggled a bit. My man what an absolute flavor bomb! Loved that the sesame chicken was all white meat! I don't eat ribs but everyone said amazing, it was packaged with potatoes, and I ate some of those, and again, delicious!!!! So glad my parents introduced me to this spot! I'll be back!!

Took my son here to celebrate his new job and it easily became our new favorite place!…read moreUpon arriving, a young gentleman had us pick our seat, brought menus, and a pitcher of ice cold water. I ordered the namprik pao, my son the kimchi fried rice. Both were fantastic!! Mine was so good I don't know if I could even bring myself to order anything different and I want it again today to be honest! There is a 6% discount when paying cash. Pay at counter (check doesn't come to your table). I'm looking forward to coming back soon!

Thai Orchard has been that special "go to" restaurant through the years. Their delicious food was…read morethere to be picked up during the COVID years and they stayed strong. They serve top notch Thai food. What makes them extra special however is their service. The owner always greets diners with warmth. Tonight's message, "How are you? It's good to see you again." My server clearly understands the importance of caring friendly service and he treated me as a valued guest. The dining room is comfortable and quiet, which is perfect for dining conversations or just checking email if you are dining like I was. I will admit that the room has aged a bit but it's still clean and pleasant. My Tom Kha soup had a tasty broth and was filled with chicken. The Pad Kee Mao lacked "spiciness" even though it is described as "stir fried spicy flat rice noodles in chili sauce" and I asked for medium heat. However it tasted great but I know it would be even better with heat. So, my update still rewards 5 stars and if you are looking for Thai this is a great option?

Then we ordered 3 different curries to share-the green curry with pork, the Garee curry with tofu and the shrimp and pineapple curry. The Garee is a yellow curry with potato and yellow squash. Shrimp & pineapple curry is marked as their specialty. My friends like massaman curry and that is usually on a Thai restaurant's menu, it is not on the menu. For dessert we tried the sweet rice with custard. It is both sweet and savory, an interesting taste but not for me. The restaurant is clean with tasteful decorations, service was friendly.
