    Pho Tai
    Dawn O.

    Finally Stopped in to see what Pho & Grill is all about per recommendation from my friend Dan who's family owns Pho 501. Pho & Grill is owned by relatives of Pho 501 which my family frequents weekly. Pho & Grill has a larger menu with many more Vietnamese options to choose from. We started off with the Grilled Beef rolls. These were go but a more similar version than ones I've tried at other places. They were simply stuff with vermicelli noodles, shredded lettuce and grilled beef. And on the side was a peanut sauce for dipping. They were good but I missed the herbs and extra vegetables like are in the ones we get at a different place. My hubby ordered the bahn me sandwich with grilled beef it was filled with pickled carrots and daikon radish. And on that crispy crusted Vietnamese baguette with a smear of butter. This was so good and the flavor is so fresh and bright. Perfect for a grab and go on a hot summer day!. I ordered the bun with grilled pork and egg roll. This is one of my favorite dishes it was chock full of vegetables and grilled pork slices and it had that nice vinegary/sweet fish sauce to pour over the top of it. The noodles were just a tad overcooked for me but it was still really enjoyable and I would definitely order again. My daughters split the Pho Tai. This had a very flavorful Rich beef broth with the chunks of raw flank then immediately cooked as it hit the hot broth. Pho Grill and Chill only seems to have one size of Pho to order and price depends on what protein you choose so it can be a little More pricey depending on what you choose my other Pho spot. I can't wait to go back and try more things and make sure you order some of the pork egg roll they are actually delicious We ended up ordering a side of them because my kids wanted to steal the ones out of my bun.

    Beef pho options (2025)

    Was coming to the Hartford area and searched on Yelp to see what's around here to eat. Literally this was the first result and with 4.8 stars and in need of a hot meal before a cold night of holiday activities , we decided to stop in. We had 6 of us. We got 2 orders of fresh rolls with extra dipping sauce, 3 Vietnamese iced coffees, 3 (22) grilled beef over vermicelli, 2 (5) pho dat biet, and one (17) grilled pork chop over rice, and a frozen avocado smoothie with brown sugar bobas. Food comes out very quickly. The rolls were good. Peanut dipping sauce was excellent. And to be honest we didn't need the extra sauces. They're served with a generous serving of it. I did use it on top of my grilled beef noodle bowl. Which was fantastic. Comes with a fried spring roll. Generous amount of beef. Big portion of salad too. Tried some of hubby's pork chop. In my opinion the pork chop was slightly better. But it's served uncut where the beef is sliced into strips. Pho bowls were on the smaller side compared to other places but honestly it's perfectly sized for one person. Everyone finished all of their food. We asked about desserts. Not sure how it is everyday but on that day they only had sesame balls and had already sold out. Everyone was full and happy with their meals so I would definitely recommend coming here

    #12 Pho (Rare beef and brisket)
    Rei P.

    We tried Pho & Grill after hearing the owners are related to the family behind our favorite pho spot, Pho 501 in East Hartford. We made the 40-minute drive with high expectations...and they totally delivered! The restaurant is modern and spacious with plenty of seating. We were greeted and seated right away, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Super friendly, fast, and attentive from start to finish. The food was fantastic; from the crispy, flavorful deep-fried pork spring rolls, to the amazing #12 Pho with rich, clear broth and plenty of noodles and meat, to the fresh and tasty vermicelli with spring rolls, to the beef Banh Mi that was pure perfection. I also got a pineapple tea with clear pearls (they have tons of fun drink options!) and it totally hit the spot. Everything was delicious, portions were generous, and we left full and happy. Definitely worth the drive if you're craving authentic, fresh Vietnamese food. Pho & Grill is a must-try!

    12. Rare Flank Steak & Well Done Brisket
    Jessica P.

    So glad this was the first restaurant my daughter and I tried for the year. And 5 stars to boot. Can't believe it's taken this long to come visit, but better late than never! Another first for us was the beef spring rolls. Every time we've had Pho we've had the shrimp fresh rolls. And I have to say these are even better with some yummy homemade fish sauce. My daughter ordered the Pho Ga or chicken Pho and I had the brisket and flank steak pho for our mains. They were both outstanding but my daughter stole my beef Pho before I got the chance to spicify the broth so it was the clear winner. We will definitely be back to try more menu offerings as the depth of flavor was perfect. The service here also needs to be mentioned. It literally feels like coming home. Thank you Pho&Grill!

    We stopped here on the way to NJ for dinner. It was really packed in this small restaurant and they seem legit! Unfortunately the pho broth tasted a little on the milder/watered-down side, but it did taste authentic. We were hungry and it was enjoyable, I got the option with a mix of all the meat options and the tendon and brisket were my favorites.

    Short rib pho
    Mark L.

    Wow! Short rib pho. Omg. Where has this place been all my life. Absolutely fantastic. Flavor profile is incredible. Forget the size of the broth and the bowl they give you but this dish came with three monster short ribs on the bone. It was fantastic.

    Shrimp fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce...

    Finally arrived at this fine establishment. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls & it was delicious . Now for the main event, I ordered the Pho Ga (chicken noodle soup). Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed due to the broth lacking flavor, but overall, we had a nice time & the staff was excellent...

    Chris N.

    Pho was absolutely amazing, rare steak add shrimp....very tasty. Spring roll / peanut sauce very fresh and tasty!

    Delish and cant wait to visit again. Beef spring rolls w/peanut sauce was everything.

    Pho Bo Vien
    M N.

    This place wasn't too bad. The biggest problem I had was online ordering and by the time I came to pick it up, they didn't know I had an order, so I had to reorder in person. The wait wasn't too bad though and the pho was decent. The soup was better than the banh mi I had, but if you want to try and make it better, no shame in ordering that double meat. The Thai Tea was good too. This is a small establishment so there isn't a huge parking lot, but a handful. The place is clean and smells like tasty broth.

    Pho & Grill has been on my radar for a while, but this was my first visit. I got my standard first visit order of Rare Steak Pho and fried egg rolls. Both were good, but didn't pop for me in the way that my fav of my fav local versions. The broth was a bit less flavorful than my fav spots. The egg rolls had good outer texture, but the composition and seasoning of the filling, was just pretty good. The dipping sauce could have been sweeter and more acidic as well. I have nearby options that I prefer for pho. If this is your closet good option, I would see going there. 3.5 Stars

    Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls
    Shayla C.

    Great appetizers! We had the fried shrimp egg rolls and the fresh rolls with shrimp! We also had the grilled pork bah mi, yummo! The pho ga, was not our favorite but we appreciate the efforts. Probably won't get that again, but definitely everything else! The owners doubled as our servers and were pleasant! The restaurant was clean and put together. Stop in and give them a try if you're in the Cromwell area!

    Grilled Bahn Mi with pork
    Katie E.

    The pho is really good, but not as good as their sister location in East Hartford (Pho 501.) The bahn mi is really yummy and a generous portion! I usually love fresh shrimp spring rolls. I was kind of bummed that there's so not have fresh herbs (I enjoy the fresh mint or basil) but they were still good. The location itself is comfortable but we are typically running there for takeout. They are super friendly and the one time they forgot something in our order, they were super apologetic. That was an isolated incident. So, it's a place we enjoy and will go back. It's convenient for us and hit the spot. Not the best pho around but it's definitely a contender.

    Not bad pho, not great ambiance…read more Came here on a whim. Missus wanted some soup so we went to this place as our date night trek. It's close to a sporting complex, in the same plaza as a larger brewery. Not the easiest to spot, will need the gps to assist. The inside is sparse in decoration but the staff was very friendly. We got the spring rolls, the fried wonton, a pho and a bahn mi. Food came out quick, we took pics then dug in. The wontons had a good pork and scallion filling. They didn't need sauce to taste good, which is a good sign. The spring rolls were okay, crispy but oily and the dipping sauce was weak. The pho was good, meat was tender, noodles were okay, and soup base was chicken broth with spices. The bahn mi was pretty good as well. Pickled veggies were very sweet, the ham was tender enough and the mayo butter was heavy handed. The bread was crusty but soft, not what I consider to be proper bahn mi bread, but good enough. Price was about 45 for the two apps and entrees, which is about average for that style of meal. It's not anything to write home about. I would recommend ordering to go mainly because the dining space is right underneath a wrestling ring and the floor shakes when someone gets body slammed below. But it's good enough pho for that area

What a cold and windy day and the air is salty and my windshield and coat shows it! Hungry, tired, and annoyed at the salty weather I walk in to a polite young man at the counter who warmly invites me in and tells me I can sit where I please...which I obliged after asking to use their restroom which was clean. I make my way to my table and the restaurant is picking up with more people checking in while there are others already present on the left side of this restaurant and few others await pickup orders. There seems to be just a small number of staff but they are very efficient and attentive. After I sat down I was expecting to be forgotten but nope! The young man walked over with a glass of water for me and took my order. There were so many great options on the menu so it was a task to decide butI did it! For a drink I choose the original milk tea with Boba pearls. For app I choose the grilled betel leaf with meat stuffed inside of it and for my main course I got the Hue's Spicy Noodle Soup. Everything from start to finish was delicious. I enjoyed my milk tea very much and finished it off after my meal. The Betel Leaf rolls are perfectly seasoned. I like mine dipped in Siracha. I ate it all! My noodle soup, OMG, the broth was amazing! Please taste it first before adding other sauces. It deserves to be acknowledged first. I'd drive 1.5 hrs back here just for this soup again. Its a must try. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to go back and bring my friends and family with me to try other things on their menu. BTW I enjoyed my meal so much I ordered their cold cut sandwiches to take home and share with my family as a treat upon my return home. I didn't get a chance for a pic for them cause I ate it and forgot lol.

However, I felt let down by the service experience at this restaurant. After we ordered and the pho came, the table looked strangely empty to me. As someone who frequently eats pho; I realized it was because the waitress never brought the bean spouts, leaves, and lemon/lime slices to put into our broth. I asked if this restaurant serves it and she looked at me strangely and said it was already in the pho. I thought it was so odd, so I explained that when I usually go out for pho in my home state of Hawaii, usually there is a separate small dish brought to the table with all of these items to put into the broth. The waitress then asked if I wanted it and I said yes. About ten minutes later, the waitress brought out a plate and she said that in Avon, most people don't want the sprouts. I wasn't sure if this was because I look like most of the people from Avon (Caucasian), even though I am just visiting. If anything, couldn't she have at least asked if we would like it? We enjoyed our pho and were happy to eat it how we usually do and we ate all our extra bean sprouts. The waitress never came back to ask how was the pho or refill our water. I had to request a copy of my receipt because she did not print one out for me. When I was trying to fill out the receipt/tip, the waitress was trying to have a full on conversation with me asking about the financial burden of living in Hawaii... the timing of this sudden chattiness was not good for me. I was ready to get out of there. All in all, pho was great (thank you lady in the kitchen) but service could have been a lot better. Will probably not come back again. Sorry:(
