    Pho tai
    Lore M.

    This is in a busy area with lots of restaurants but there is plenty of parking. Inside is spacious, nice and clean. Good size food menu with lots to choose from. Average prices. The pho broth is delicious! Love the broth here and the noodles are always cooked perfectly. They give a good ratio of broth and noodles. I was not a fan of the banh xeo was on the soggy side, but everything else I have tried from here is delicious! Didn't get water refills when our waters were empty. Friendly staff, they always repeat the order back to make sure everything is correct. Definitely on the top of my list for Pho places in Newark.

    22. Hanoi Grilled Pork Vermicellli
    Rony Q.

    I've been looking for a place that serves solid bun cha Ha Noi and I finally found it! From the moment I got out of the car, I could smell the aroma of grilled meats and I was so excited. Everything was very fresh from the vermicelli, to the veggies/herbs, to the meats :) My only comment is that the sauce isn't as flavorful as many other places, I added a bit more fish sauce and it gave enough of a satisfactory kick but I know that might not be enough for others.

    Pho Ngoc Lan Noodle House opened recently in My Tho's vacated space. Interior retrofitted with many murals, 3 flatscreens (golf, nbc news, news. Swiftly acknowledged, seated, given water by elderly woman. One of many on floor. Ordered. Soup came 10 minutes later. Drinks another 5. Offerings (usual Vietnamese): appetizers, pho, egg noodle soups, rice plates, rice vermicelli, drinks. Vegetarian... Sips: Mixed Bean dessert drink (6.5) -haven't had this in years. Maybe a decade. -came with 1/3 shaved ice on top. Bottom had the sweet sauce. In the middle was many kinds of jelly & 3 kinds of beans. 2 kinds got mushy so hard to see. -came with a soup to scoop up jellies & beans after liquid was finished. Too sweet at first. Ending ok. Slurps: Bun Rieu cua (tomato & crab soup)16.95 -broth had pork flava & not enough crab paste taste. Also lean pork slices, tomato chucks, fried tofu, cilantro, pork loaf, black pepper, rice noodles. -toppings on side: jalepeno slices, bean sprouts, lemon squeeze, red cabbage. Didn't ask for shrimp paste on side. Haven't had for years. -large portion. CC use: +3%. 4ish stars worthy! Quantity: reasonable Quality: ok haven't had for years. Difficult to compare. Parking on weekends difficult. Parking lot full.

    Beautiful interior. Even better Banh xeo (savory crepe). Best one in the tri area so far. This is a try "mom and pop" place. Cutest grandma mans the register. She'll give you a big smile and ring you up after you eat. FYI: depending on the day, service can be slow. So, be prepared to chill for a while.

    A3. Vietnamese Fried Egg Rolls 6. Rare Steak & Tendon 30. Crispy Egg Noodle with Seafood

    Presentation was awesome and cleanliness of this establishment is top rate. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the flavor of all our orders tasted somewhat the same. In my own personal opinion, all 3 of our orders had a lingering after-taste of powdered chicken flavoring and modified enhancers. It was lacking the purity and taste of real chicken flavor or true bone broth.

    Rare Steak & Tendon Pho
    D.wight L.

    Pretty new pho/Viet spot in a very Asian centric retail strip. The inside is very colorful and pretty, lots of Asian floral vibes that I'm sure many find attractive. I also loved their table-side condiment set-up as it had 3-4 chili based sauces and a small bottle of pure fish sauce. Not many Viet places from this area go this far, so I'm gonna give them props. But in my first couple of outs during the winter months I've just tried a couple soups and an app. Since they are new I'm not too sure on how dialed in they are...yet. Even though fine for the most part, it seems they can tighten up on quality and execution. Fresh Pork & Shrimp Spring Rolls ($8.50/4.5*) Pretty solid and rolled fresh. Springy wrapper, fresh veggies and vermicelli noodles and good proportion of protein. And absolutely delicious when dipped into their sweetish peanut sauce with a good dot of chili sambal. I could get these almost every time I come in. Rare Beef and Tendon Pho ($16/3.5*) They only have 1 size for soups and it is pretty large. I can't finish the broth. The broth comes out super hot (thermally) and is spiced lightly with a good beef to salt ratio. The proteins were fine, both the tender tendons and the sliced rare beef. The noodles are in a big ball and needs to be unraveled. Tons of noodles too, more than I prefer. I keep forgetting to ask them to switch out the noodles to fresh rice noodles which I think are thicker. They never ask so I just keep forgetting. Special Vietnamese Noodle Soup/Hu Tieu ($17/3*) I haven't had this in a while, so I tried it one cold evening. It's basically their pho broth and same rice noodles. Just topped with different proteins. There's 2-3 shrimps which were the best of the bunch. Nicely poached, not overcooked at all. Some calamari chunks that were kinda hard and chewy. Didn't care for the texture. Some sliced pork slices. Just seemed like boiled pork so super plain and bland. I think they should simmer it in seasoned liquid as to give it flavor internally. I had to dip this into a side condiment. Some chicken pieces, very small pieces almost shredded in size. Also pretty bland just like the pork slices. Ground pork, which again were bland but this also had a game-y taste to it that I didn't care for. This is where I think they can improve and just watch their quality control a bit more. Imitation Krab was fine. I rarely eat this, but it does add a nice burst of color to this otherwise monotone soup. Meatballs looked more like cut up sausages. Very dense and bouncey. Not a fan texturally. Quail Eggs were perfect, tender and supple. So this bowl would have been a pretty nice ride, but too many hiccups for me to not love it. I'll still be back to try a few more things, but I pretty much have to be in this area, as the draw is not quite there yet for me to want to drive for it. Maybe in time...

    This seems like a newly opened Vietnamese area with a large varieties of dishes on menu. Menu had a lot of things: pho, rice place, banh xeo, bun, etc... My boyfriend and I weren't feeling pho, so we tried the broken rice plate, banh xeo and bun rieu(tomato crab noodle). Overall, broken rice plate is pretty good. However, I would skip the bun rieu (they used crab cakes instead of my preferred crab meatballs. To each their own...) and banh xeo(no herbs, also the crepe is thin/gets soggy easily as compared to the ones I tried in other restaurant).

    48. Vegetarian Pad Thai
    Karen W.

    We tried this place as it was near my sister was getting a pedicure and we sat in a cozy booth and I was going to order the beef stew with egg noodles but they sold out on the beef so I picked shrimp instead. Hubby ordered the combo chow mein but he didn't want seafood so he ordered pork and my sister had vegetarian pad thai. All were good but even though my shrimp was plentiful the server gave me rice noodles instead but I just ate it.

    Clean, well-appointed Vietnamese restaurant serving more than the usual pho and rice plates. Was excited to see banh xeo and banh khot on the menu, among other harder-to-find dishes. Ordered the banh xeo (mung bean flour "crepe" filled with sprouts, pork, and shrimp) served with all the herbs, lettuce, and nuoc cham. A large portion with crispy edges, but I wish they had removed the tails for the shrimp filling. Also ordered a tea, served in a to go cup and sweetened with honey, and a side of pho broth, Which was served piping hot with a generous amount of thinly sliced onions, green onions, and cilantro. The broth here is very star anise forward for those of you who prefer it that way. Service is friendly and efficient.

    Hue Spicy Noodle Soup(Spicy)
    Sivaporn P.

    I recently visited Pho Ngoc Lan Noodle House with a group of coworkers after one of them recommended it to us, and it turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The service was friendly and efficient, and our food arrived quickly. Most importantly, the food was delicious--everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals. Overall, we had a very positive experience, and we're already planning to come back again in the future.

    1. Special Combination Beef Noodle Soup
    Susanna K.

    Parking lot available. Came for Wednesday dinner before movie. Ordered the special combo pho and bun xeo. The pho was nice and hot with authente noodles. The bun xeo can use more seasoning and be more crispy as the bottom half was soggy and oily. Would come back as again for pho.

    3. Rare Steak & Beef Balls
    Rennae A.

    The service was amazing! The guy who served was one of the sweetest people I've encountered. We ordered the spring roll & 2 beef noodle soups. Hands down one of my favorite places to get spring roll now & you can never go wrong with beef noodle soups!

    Hanoi grilled pork vermicelli
    Sandy Q.

    So my parents came to visit one night and I suggested to come here for dinner. We ordered the house special fried shrimp cake, Vietnamese pancake (for my mom) grilled pork & eggroll over vermicelli (for me), combo rice plate (for my daughter), Hanoi grilled pork vermicelli (for my dad), and salted plum soda (for my dad). The food was good but the fish sauce that came with all the meals lacked flavor and the chicken wing that was part of the combo rice plate was bland. Customer service was exceptional. Throughout the whole meal, one lady kept coming back to check up on us and asking whether we liked the food. I think it's because my parents speak Vietnamese so communication was not an issue. We came on a weeknight so parking so was plentiful.
