Shrimp Pho
Marc I.

The service was great. The manager came over and described any dishes if we had questions. I had Shrimp Pho and it was delicious. I put some spicy jelly in it and it had a kick to it but not that harsh. My sister had the vermicelli with shrimp and my BIL had the 4 protein Pho. They both enjoyed their meals. We also had the chicken satay and it did not disappoint. Don't sleep on the Vietnamese Black coffee. Better than any American coffee out there. Very rich flavor. The price of the meal was very inexpensive too. Enjoyed our meal tremendously.

Spring rolls came with 3.

Hidden gem in Bethlehem. Went there for pho, which was delicious, will come back to try more menu items. Street/meter parking out front. If you don't want to pay the meter I'm sure you can find parking in the side streets and walk. We're greeted when we walked in and was able to choose where to sit. Good amount of seating option. Service was fast and friendly. Very welcoming. We order pho w/flank. Broth was very good. We also ordered crispy spring rolls. Also very good. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some good pho.

We were looking for a place in the former steel town of Bethlehem. On a relatively quiet area, we came across the Pho Bowl when looking for the temporarily closed Kinoa. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food which is more Saigon. style. The portions were generous and quality was high. My only gripe regarded the lack of authenticity- the shrimps were peeked and the spring rolls lacked the usual bean sprout and basilkeaf garnish. Furthermore, the Tom Yum sauces was somewhat bland, lacking the usual distinctive lemongrass and citrus flavors likely to please American tastes. They also had popular Thai specialties such as Pad Thai. The service was efficient and the ambience basic but clean. A good c h oice for Bethlehem, especially when away from the major shopping streets.

Friendly, fast, fresh & delicious are just a few ways to describe Pho Bowl. We go with the seasons here. Spring/Summer Bun and Spring rolls. Fall/Winter there signature dish - Pho and when they have the Vietnamese Beef Stew.

At Pho Bowl, you're greeted with friendly service and a cozy ambiance. My go to is their beef broths - very rich and flavorful, without the heavy MSG use like other places. The bone broth is what provides the authentic and comforting meal. Pho Bowl is the go-to spot for Vietnamese food for me in the area! Rate: 3.5 Stars!

Tom Yum soup
Esin A.

Papaya salad was very good. Tom Yum soup too spicy for me , even though only one chili indicater; it tasted more like 2 chilis. I requested napa, carrot and scallions, but there were no mushroom or onion slices, which is how it comes. I also had fried basil rice with chicken in it. I forgot already. Red curry with chicken, yellow curry with chicken, beef pho and curry puffs were pretty good. Curry dishes needed salt. Seafood rolls were served very hot. Friend really liked them. Rice vermicelli seasoned with fish sauce was okay. Noodles were cold Best part of rice vermicelli was grilled chicken.

Bahn mi was on point! Bread was a great combination of soft and firm. Perfect amount of pork and vegetables.

Pleasantly surprised how good this place is! More importantly, the staff were very friendly. I just ordered take out but was treated very hospitably. They even opened the door for me on my way out. It's these small details that make me want to come back again. I almost didn't go here because of one terrible Bahn mi review but remembered that a lot of Yelpers are miserable trolls and have nothing better to do but hate on hard-working entrepreneurs. The food was excellent! I ordered a Tom Yum soup and Summer Rolls. Well-priced and great ambiance. I'm definitely going to be back a lot more.

We came into town craving Thai food and came across this beautiful gem! Not only are the interiors…read morechic and cozy, but the service was wonderful too. Our server, Angel, made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of us throughout the meal. We started with the chicken curry puffs, and they were delicious! The crust was buttery and flaky, while the filling was perfectly warm with just the right amount of spice and flavor. For our main dishes, we ordered the pad Thai and khao soi. The pad Thai was savory and satisfying--exactly what you want from a classic noodle dish. The khao soi was rich and creamy, and the chili oil served alongside it added the perfect sharp kick to balance out the richness. For dessert, we had the classic mango sticky rice, which came out warm and soft, with perfectly ripe, tender mangoes. That's especially hard to find this season! Overall, a wonderful spot to stop in and enjoy a meal with family. And a fun P.S.--they offer a "disco celebration" song for birthdays, which was such a cool and unexpected experience!

Moreover, Thai Thai II includes street food on the menu now such as Basil Crispy Pork Belly (Krapao Moo Krob) - That is very interesting and real authentic Thai dish.

What a sweet gem this place is!…read more The interior is quaint and homey, offering warmth as soon as you come in. Now, let's get to the really good part: the food. Came here with my mom, as part of our tradition to check out restaurants she's not tried in Bethlehem (I grew up here, she still lives here and I am now in Philly). We each began with one of their Thai coconut soups: me, the 3 mushroom and her the chicken-coconut. This was so heavenly and light and scrumptious. The mushrooms were unusual and not typical of any I've tried. They had great texture and blended beautifully with the lemongrass and other traditional Thai aromatics. Mom got shrimp/crabmeat fried rice and absolutely loved it. I got the vegetarian Thai-Basil pad Thai and it was cooked to perfection! Lovely rice cellophane noodles, broccoli, sprouts, peppers and a phenomenal spicy basil infused sauce - not too heavy either. Service was warm and expedient. I would absolutely return !

The Cafe has been renamed "221" and is located on Broad Street in Bethlehem. The BYOB offers…read moreupscale Thai food that was surprisingly delicious. Don't pass up the Spicy Shrimp Soup. The wonderfully melded blend of flavors along with the freshness of the shrimp made this a must for starters. Our main dishes were all prepared with the freshest of ingredients and vegetables cooked to perfect tenderness. The quiet ambience and attentive service rounded out a delightful evening. I could not recommend 221 more highly. This 2- generational mom and pop gets an A in my book.
