Our server took our order efficiently and brought us waters but I had to take a water back bc it had some unknown object in it. We ordered bun (vermicelli noodle bowls), brisket pho, fried rice (chicken and beef), spring rolls and chili chicken wings. All of the food was well cooked and flavorful but came out piece meal with some food coming out well ahead of others. My pho was very flavorful and the broth was very pleasant and smooth.

Very very nice lady (owner) and very helpful with the menu. - I had the chicken Pho ($16.50). I added the 2 included Hoisin sauce packets. It also came with a Sriracha sauce packet and a small container of chili oil along with the normal variety of noodles, sprouts, fresh herbs, green onions, white onions, jalapeño slices, and a lime wedge. The chicken was tender sliced white meat with no fat, gristle, or bones attached. The broth had a lot of flavor and was delicious. - I also had the shrimp and chive dumplings ($7.00). Not a strong shrimp flavor, but they had a nice crisp on the outside and were tasty. The sauce that comes with the dumplings is absolutely delicious. - My wife had the Bulgogi beef ($14.50). She said it was tender and very delicious. It came with rice, kimchi, and cucumber salad. I just happened to speak to Linh about the cucumber salad and she said this is how she's always made it for her kids and they love it. Well, I'm with her kids and love it too. She makes the vinaigrette herself and it has an unexpected sweetness to it instead of the usual strong vinegar flavor. We both loved it. - We had the pork gyoza ($7.00). This was cooked my favorite way, deep fried (not pan fried). This took me back to the gyoza in Japan and the Yaki Mandu I used to get in Korea. Great crispy wrapper with a tender flavorful filling. And again, the sauce that came with it is some of the best I've had. - The kimchi is not overly spicy and has a slight sweetness to it. - The Egg Tarts ($5.50) are good, not overly sweet. Could use a bit more filling for a better filling to pie crust ratio. - I also got a Chai tea bubble milk ($6.25) that was super delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed Nguyen's Kitchen and will go back with friends. It's unfortunate that it sits behind a Taco Bell and is not highly noticeable from the road, otherwise I might have tried it sooner.

Both my wife and I, being fans of Vietnamese food, ordered the touted "The Beast" sandwich and a fried egg roll. The egg roll was greasy and tasteless, and the typical packaged duck sauce didn't help.

Overall, the visit was a total disappointment. While dining, we could smell the bowls of pho being served, and that might be worth a return trip.

I'm not an expert on Vietnamese Cuisine but I heard of a casual Vietnamese restaurant with a simple…read moremenu featuring Vietnamese dishes like pho and spring rolls and decided to go give it a try. It's Pho Time is a local, family restaurant, located in a strip mall of Williamson Road in Roanoke, Virginia. I found out that in Vietnam, pho is enjoyed at any time of day and serves as a common ground for people from all walks of life. Thus, the reason for its name: "It's Pho Time." When I arrived to this small, but clean and very simple decorated restaurant I saw a sign: "PLEASE SEAT YOURSELF." As soon as I sat down, who seemed to be the owner of the restaurant and gave me a warm welcome with a big and friendly smile. He brought a form with him and explained how here one ordered by checking the items on the form, taking it to the counter and handing it in, and waiting at your table to be served when ready. Then he answered any questions that I had about the items on the menu, and asked what I wanted to drink. I asked him for a Mango Smoothie with Boba Pearls. To my surprise they had it on the menu and this drink had become a favorite of mine since the first time I had it in another Asian restaurant called Wok N Roll Kitchen located in Downtown Roanoke. Filling out the menu / order form, I ordered Two Pork Spring Rolls as appetizer and a Glazed Pork Dish as the main course. Once I handed the form to the owner, he called out the items and family members working in the kitchen took care of preparing it and bringing it to my table when ready. The Pork Spring Rolls were amazing. I enjoyed the texture of the thin wrap, the flavory pieces of pork they had inside, together with the fresh and crispy veggies. This was served on a plate with a peanut base sauce. My main course was also very appetizing. It was a bowl full of white rice and Glazed Pork with lettuce, cucumbers, pickled carrots, dalkon, the house sauce, and an over medium fried egg. During my time there many people came in and ordered takeouts and others who seemed like repeat customers stayed and enjoyed their meal there. At the end I threw the the plastic bowl in the trash and put the tray on a pile of trays there. Then I went to the counter to pay and say my goodbye, thanking the owners and his entire family for such a wonderful meal and dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its amazing food and extraordinary service, and plan to give them a visit again when I feel that ... "It's Pho Time."

Let me tell you this Pho was the best Pho I have had in years! So good, so so worth it! We also tried the Eggroll appetizers and they were so crunchy and delicious!

Yes, the building may look like it needs attention as well as some tables inside, but trust me the food is 10/10! You have to try them out!

The exterior of the building where this Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant is located leaves much to be…read moredesired. It has no fancy restaurant front, no fancy landscaping, no nice trimmed green grass, and the two handrails of the three cement steps going up to the entrance door are rusted and almost falling down. Yet the small parking lot in front of the place is often full of cars during lunch and dinner time. But since it is often these hole in the wall restaurants that have the best ethnic foods, I decided today to go try it out. Just above the restaurant's building one can see the beautiful Mill Mountain in all its splendor with the green color of the Spring and above it, the Roanoke Star, highlighted by a beautiful blue sky high above it. You can appreciate this more by viewing my photographs that accompany this review. After I entered the restaurant through two simple glass doors, the inside of the restaurant was clean, with its walls painted white, its floor tiles nice and shiny, and its decor in the minimalist style with only nice looking furniture and nice original paintings and artworks evenly spread around the walls of the restaurant. It had large windows in the front that brought in bright light. Next to the windows and walls were dark red color booths and in the middle of the dining room were tables and chairs. As soon as I entered I was warmly greeted by a young man behind the host's station, who welcomed me with a big smile, handed me a copy of the menu, and asked me to take a seat at the table of my choice. After walking around I went and sat at a table that I not only could feel comfortable, but was situated in a central location with good light so I could observe the restaurant well and be able to take well lit photographs of the food items as soon as I was served and while enjoying my dining experience. The same host doubled as my server, and came by my table with a happy smile to see if I was ready to order. To drink I ordered the CAFE SU ADA, a Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk. As appetizer I ordered Ha Cao, Deep Fried Pork Dumplings served with mixed fish sauce. I also ordered their Goi Cuon Tom 2 Cuon, a shrimp, lettuce, and noddle rolled up with a rice paper, and served with peanut butter sauce. As the main course I ordered their Com Suon, Steamed Jasmine Rice with a Grilled Pork Chop. While ordering I talked with the server and he told me that this was a family owned and run business, together with the AA Asian Market that was inside the same building with an entrance from the restaurant. His mother seemed to be the cook, and his father in charge of running the Market. Through my experience I have found that this is very tipical in many ethnic groups restaurant businesses. The food all came out at once, even though I told my server that I would like my appetizers first. So I would recommend you order the appetizer first and after you're done eating it then order your main course, so the second doesn't get cold and you have more time to enjoy both while conversing with your guests. Everything was delicious: the dumplings, the pork, and the shrimp roll, although I found the rice paper a bit too thick and sticky, making it a bit difficult to handle. The sauces accompanying the food were also extremely good tasting. When I asked what they had for dessert, my server walked to the Market and brought me one of their popular desserts. Not knowing what it was, I ate it anyway. The sweet sauce was good but I didn't care much for the pieces of some type of pieces of a vegetable it had inside. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a wonderful Vietnamese Cuisine dining experience. Both the food and the service were great. So much so that I feel in the process I got to learn more about their culture as well.

I was surprised that the ginger-based tofu dish actually tasted better, with a modest amount of spice but plenty of ginger and black bean sauce and of course that aromatic jasmine rice distinctive to the cuisine. A set of potato-filled curry puffs made the whole thing into a solid two meals.
