Four of us met for an early dinner at 4pm. It got busier as it got later so reservations may be best. The owner/host/server was the nicest guy, explained the menu in great detail and helped us with what to order. It was fantastic! Everything is made from scratch, and I mean everything! His mother in law is in the kitchen cooking like she's in her home country. We had fried wonton appetizer that was not greasy at all. Delicious and homemade. We also had coconut shrimp, they were jumbo shrimp and tasted great. For dinner I wish I could remember the exact names but I'll have to describe them. Grade A steak tips with salad - not your typical boring salad with steak on top. This was seasoned to perfection and came with an amazing dipping sauce of salt, pepper and lime. So good you will want to put that sauce on everything! Scallion pancake much like a crepe but crispy, filled with vegetables and your choice of protein (we had shrimp and pork) absolutely delicious! Lemongrass curry with beef - now this is not a big bowl of soup like curry, this is served in a dish with veggies and rice on the side. The flavor was incredible. I can't even explain it. You've got to order it. They are so passionate about the meals they prepare and it shows. Outstanding service and high quality food. Oh and let me give you a a tip, if you're not an alcoholic drinker they have homemade limeade and green tea. I suggest getting the limeade. You will never have better! So refreshing. So 2 appetizers, 4 dinners, 5 homemade limeades for $200 with a tip. Well worth it and will definitely be back!!!

The broth is so clean and light -- you can tell its depth of flavor is from the beef/bones and aromatics, not heavy fats and salts. The pork egg roll was also tasty and came out freshly fried.

I walked into a space where the owners were warm and engaged in a way that came through consistently, and the restaurant had the feel of a place run with real investment in what comes out of the kitchen. The pho is the centerpiece and it earns that position. I tried the broth, which was light and clean, built with depth rather than heaviness, and the beef was tender throughout. The short rib and oxtail versions are the ones to order when available, and the brisket is the reliable fallback when they are not. The rare steak and tendon option is worth trying for anyone who wants to go further into the menu. I also ordered the pork vermicelli bowl, another strong choice, with well seasoned pork and fresh vegetables that held up against the noodle base. It came with a spring roll component that added to the overall value of the dish. The banh mi was flavorful and well assembled, and the fresh rolls were worth ordering alongside whatever else I got. Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai tea were both solid and complemented the food well. Service was friendly, and the owners were visibly present and genuinely hospitable. The restaurant accommodates families well, with the kitchen going out of its way on small details like kid friendly utensils and high chairs that make the experience easier for parents. For Vietnamese food in this part of Connecticut, it is the kind of spot worth going out of my way for.

I originally chose this restaurant because of the prices I saw online, which were about $3 less than the current prices. When I called, they explained that they haven't been able to update the online pricing yet. While I was initially surprised by the difference, I still found the current prices very reasonable. I paid $13 for the Chicken Pho and $14 for the Brisket Pho. The broth was very flavorful, rich, and comforting. The food tasted incredibly fresh, and even by the time I got home, everything was still nice and hot. I also ordered chicken pho for my kids, and both of them ate theirs! That says a lot because kids can definitely be picky. One of them even wanted more pho, so I'd say they enjoyed it just as much as I did. I really appreciated how thoughtfully everything was packaged for takeout. The broth comes in its own container, while the noodles, bean sprouts, lime, jalapeños, and other fresh ingredients are packaged separately. They also provide additional sauce packets and a utensils packet with spoons and forks. I saw chopsticks but forgot to grab them. This keeps everything fresh and allows you to put your pho together exactly how you like it once you get home. And a warning from someone who learned the hard way : DON'T dump all the chili oil into your pho unless you REALLY love spice! I made that mistake, and it was extremely spicy! It was actually still delicious, and since I wasn't feeling well, the heat felt great on my throat. They also provide jalapeños and additional sauce on the side, so you can customize the flavor and spice level. The portion was a good size and definitely satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Customer services was friendly, and helpful. I ordered ahead, and as soon as I arrived, my food was ready. No long wait, which I really appreciated. There is also a dining area, so next time I'd love to dine in and enjoy the full restaurant experience. But if I'm having one of those days where I just want to stay home in the comfort of my own house, I'd have no problem ordering takeout again. I love discovering restaurants that have an authentic feel, and this definitely felt like a place where I could explore more of the menu and try something new. I'm already thinking about what I want to order next! Would I come back? Absolutely. ‍‍‍ Kid-approved? Definitely. Fresh, flavorful, hot, and good portions? Yes! I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially to someone trying pho for the first time. The staff was wonderful, the food was fresh and flavorful, and the overall experience was great. I'm looking forward to coming back for another bowl of pho and trying more from the menu!

Overall, I think the restaurant is well worth a visit if you are in the Middletown area: parking is also easily available.

Had Bun Xao and Pho Ga, and my son meant to order rare beef pho but accidentally ordered beef stew, but he had zero regrets it was delicious with huge chunks of beef. I've never had Vietnamese beef stew before but it was very much like American except with vermicelli noodles. My Pho was excellent, but I would have appreciated a bit more protein and it seemed to be lacking a little in saltiness could have been light on salt, soy or fish sauce. Easily remedied at the table. The bun xao also would have appreciated a bit more protein. I cant emphasize enough these were minor issues. Pricing was very good, no complaints.

The vermicelli was a bit on the mushy side. Overall, since Vietnamese food is lacking in area, it was nice to have some Vietnamese.
