Hands down best restaurant in Montpelier. Fresh, perfectly cooked vegetables, great diverse menu and a very kind owner who works really hard. The community of Montpelier should support this restaurant with great enthusiasm. Richard Boltax read more

I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't the food, that was fine. Not the best but I wouldn't have complained, it was, as I said, fine. But it was the treatment. I ordered pho and fresh rolls (2)... ( they were only the counter. When I left after picking up my food, I realized ( or thought) that there were no fresh rolls in my bag so I returned to ask if perhaps he forgot to put the fresh rolls ( the only two left) in my bag as I didn't see them. I was very nice. Really, just calmly, not upset , asking an honest question. He FLIPPED OUT ON me. He started screaming that I wasn't from VT and to get out of his restaurant... as a couple was sitting there now, he started saying I wasn't trying to ruin his business, that I didn't belong in VT and to go away or he'd call the police. My car's plates were not VT, for no reason or business of his. I've lived here over 20 years. He literally chased me out of the shop. I found my fresh rolls when I got home. They were in the bag the whole time, I missed them. But his treatment was borderline scary, definitely freaked me out. Just sayin. It was pretty bad treatment. And the food fine to meh. read more

Delicious food. The chicken Pad Thai was excellent, the Mango sticky rice was tasty and my Filipina wife enjoyed her pho.

Good food quick service. Simple decor. Decent prices. Had duck soup and pot stickers. Easy on and off I-89. Friendly servers. No complaints here for quick Thai food. I can tell by the incoming phone orders that they do a great takeout business. Only drawback that I can see is they close early in the evening. read more

Went here after seeing it on the street while walking around. They seem to provide multiple types of Asian food. So there is something for everyone. I got the ramen which is fine for where we were. I got it with beef which was nicely cooked. The potstickers had a good flavor but a thicker wrap than I am used to. But they were steamed nicely read more

Good Thai food with fair prices in downtown Montpelier. Immediately greeted by the owner who took our order and got our food out in about 15 minutes. We had the Pad Thai as well as the Pad Se Ew and both had really good flavors and sauces. And the pot stickers were definitely the star of the show! read more

Recommended by a friend and this place did not disappoint. So delicious! Very generous portions and authentic Thai taste!

I live near town so have had a lot of meals here over the years. Good quality, fresh, generous portions, very good customer service. I especially like the Tom kha. It is not very sweet like another reviewer suggests. The peanut sauce with veggies abd ruce is very good. So are the chive dumplings - crispy and chewy all in one. Crispy outside , chewy inside. I would recommend this restaurant, read more

Great spot for some reasonably priced and tasty Thai food. We ate every bite of everything we ordered.

The people here were the absolute nicest! It was the perfect place to be on a cold rainy day in Vermont. Warm delicious soup and friendly service. What more could someone need? The duck soup was incredible and I will now have to come back and get it every time I visit the area! read more

It was so good! From appetizer (4 pc shrimp dumplings), main course (Tom Yum seafood & BBQ roast pork rice noodles) to dessert (mango rice). Every dish is perfectly Thai and yummy!! read more

Stopped here for lunch today, ordered the noodle bowls , which hit the spot. Large portions and friendly service. Highly recommend.

We stopped in for dinner about a year ago and enjoyed our pho. Missing the 'Just Life Soup' restaurant that had closed on Elm St earlier we were looking for decent pho. While not the same thing as what we had at the soup restaurant on Elm it was still good and we will go back. Not a great place to sit as it gets cold so I suggest take out. Lots of food for the low prices. read more

Love the food! They have the best Boba around these parts! And awesome customer service! My family love it there!

While walking down Main Street, I stumbled onto this place. There were 5 or 6 people sitting and eating inside, so it couldn't the that bad. That day the menu include a #7 that was a pho with fish balls and something else, and offered as a dry noodle. Since I was going to be eating at my desk, I thought a dry noodle would be easier to eat. When I got back to my desk, I was surprised and disappointed to find nothing that resembled a fish ball, but definitely the driest noodle dish I have ever been served (see photo). There was a dry crumbled white meat (ground chicken ???) - it was flavorless, so i can't tell you want it was. There was their version of char siu - that had bright pink food coloring. The noodle was completely dry, no sweet sauce or any type of sauce to add to it. I don't think I got what I ordered. I might be willing to try them again, but maybe after I have tried the other new restaurants in the area. read more

If you are in search of delicious, authentic Thai cuisine in Montpelier, I can't recommend Pho Thai Express on Main Street in the heart of downtown more enthusiastically. I have been getting takeout pho on a regular basis for the last several months that the friendly owners, Sam and Nok, lovingly create on order. I can't get enough of their #1 on the menu, Pho Thai Beef soup. This beef, noodle, and vegetable soup/broth has such an amazing, subtle, delicious, authentic homemade flavor that I can't help but smile inwardly every time I taste it again. Eric Laufe read more

I came in for a drink and appetizer. Pot stickers: excellent: light, flavorful, very nice dumpling wrapper, properly steamed. Lovely sauce. Mango juice: tasty, but not fresh squeezed. Fast, friendly service, but don't expect expertise: This is a family operation, and they're newly opened. The kids have a lot to learn. I'll be back. read more

A surprisingly nice Thai eatery hidden in Montpellier. Dodging the rain and wanting something different we stumbled in. The owner was ready to assist. The menu was displayed with photos and prices. He sold me on the duck special. Loved the broth, meat and noodles for ~$6, Spicy Chicken Pad Thai for another $6 and we walked out in 5 minutes with our to go order. Fast friendly service Will we return: You betcha! read more

Worst Tom kha soup . Overcooked chicken and way too sweet. Not to mention it more than $11.00 read more

They microwave everything, so your food is only lukewarm. You can also hear the microwaves in the back. The premise is the just add pre cooked meat steamed to the sauce. read more

Yum - love the Tom Kha here, very reasonable. My companion had pho with duck and noodles , and loved it. Basic hole-in-the-wall atmosphere but great wiick lunch or dinner. read more

This was my first time in this place as I've been going to the "other" pho place in town. And I was not disappointed. I got the sweet & sour shrimp (tom yum). The broth was rich and flavorful. The mushrooms were tender and were cooked in the broth as I ate. I asked them to make it spicy, so they added two Thai chili peppers that were sliced to let the heat into the broth. I could squish the pepper against my bowl to make it more spicy, which I appreciated. Overall, I liked this dish and would order it again. I had a hard time understanding the person at the counter, but he was very friendly. Family run joint, so I will definitely be coming back! read more

Absolutely love this place! Husband and I always come here for lunch. My favorite is the yellow chicken curry and their steamed buns are baked to perfection! Each bowl of pho is created with love and care -- I watched! Whether you decide between the Vietnamese (#1) or Thai (#2) pho, you won't be disappointed! Service is A+++ the owners are also very friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful Thai or Vietnamese styled dishes, this is the place to go in Montpelier! read more

Desperate for anything Asian after a number of heavy "meat and potato" meals, we found Pho Thai Express. It was less than an hour from closing time on a Sunday afternoon so we had to rush. The owner could not have been nicer. Although a man bragging about his wife is an automatic plus for me. He raved about her cooking and he was right. It was very good, particularly for takeout. We will go again. read more

Food is definitely overpriced and the food is pretty good. However they have the best Thai tea in town, hands down. Weird restaurant hours also. read more

Family-run, friendly, clean eatery. I love the simple, tasty, light, pork vegetable dumplings and also the rice is good.

Probably the best food I've had in Montpilier. I go to this place at least 3 times a week. It's cheap and amazing.

Five stars; easy four for food, and jump to five just because the owner is so darn pleasant. Kind words for everyone beyond the sale/transaction. As authentic pho as you'd find north of NYC and all other dishes very well-executed and tasteful as well. No frills, family-friendly atmosphere. read more

Below average Thai place that gets good reviews from being in a small city. If this place were located in a large metropolitan area, it wouldn't stay in business very long. I had a chicken rice dish that was the Thai equivalent of a tv dinner. My wife had a pho pork soup that was average. For the price and size, the soup was disappointing. I have eaten Thai at 50-100 establishments, and this is definitely bottom ten percentile. read more

Really really good. I'm really impressed by the fresh ingredients, quality, spice and overall deliciousness. The glass noodle salad was amazing - perfect combination of shrimp, ground pork, spices and veggies. The som tam salad is absolutely the best in the area, and is straight out of Tiny Thai. Royal Orchid doesn't come close. The owner is super friendly too. Instead of going after the pho market, I wish they'd expand their Thai offerings, which are the hidden specialty. read more

Lovely customer service! The owner is very friendly as well as the rest of the staff. The food is so fresh every time I order from them and always a great portion. Price is definitely worth the quality of food served. The flavor in the dishes is amazing and very tasty. I definitely recommend the Masaman Curry if you like spicy dishes! Great seating and if you're ordering for on the go they package super great, no spillage. Best place in Montpelier for bubble tea too! Family friendly and way better than Chinese takeout/buffet! read more

Went on a rainy night. We ordered by phone for a pick up and arrived 20 min later. We got to know that they haven't started making the food yet, while there were few people eating inside. I guess they just wouldn't start making until you are there. Then why having a order-and-pick-up option?? Waited for another 20min. Food was not even average--definitely not worth the wait. read more

This place is amazing!! The service is warm and friendly, and last week when I wasn't quite sure what it was my husband wanted, the owner knew. I always get the Coconut Tom Kha soup, with tofu, and I can't say enough good things about it. It is absolutely delicious. We usually get takeout, but sometimes we eat there - both are good. Our food is always still warm when I get home, and I live a half hour away! Highly recommend. read more

Pho Thai noodle tastes very good. Recommended. The only thing I don't like is it is too little for one person.

Fantastic hole in the wall Thai restaurant which also makes Vietnamese pho noodle soups. Owner is Thai and very gracious. Food selections are authentic Thai at better quality and prices than typical Americanized Thai high end restaurants which have ungodly prices for basic Thai fare. We lived in SE Asia for many years and have been to Thailand many times. Love the local Thai street food at amazing prices. This is the closest thing you'll see here. read more

Not familiar with this area but found this today on my way to Burlington. Very, very satisfied with my #6 hot & sour with chicken. Asked for spicy and was spot on . Gent at counter was very cordial as well... saw lots of happy customers coming and going. I'll stop by again sometime. The hot soup on a cold day hit the spot. Very rich flavor, ingredients were all super fresh and made a delicious bowl. read more

Just tried Pho Thai for the first time and will definitely be back again. Seafood Tom Kar is a favorite of mine and theirs was top notch with a perfectly balanced coconut milk-lime broth, an abundance of perfectly poached fish, shrimp and mussels. Shu mai were very good as well. Can't wait to try more. While decor is simple, the restaurant is very clean and the service couldn't be friendlier. read more

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The folks (the owner and his family) were amazing, and did a fantastic job! Whenever I go this way, I try to stop, every time the food is amazing ! read more

I just started this page for Pho Thai Express because they weren't on Yelp yet and I want to help them get the word out. The food is really good! We enjoyed their fresh shrimp spring rolls, papaya salad and pork salad. Everything was very fresh, flavorful and tasty. The pork was tender and juicy, the veggies were crisp and fresh, everything was seasoned really well, and even the rice was good. I admit my heart will always belong to Wilaiwan, but this place is an awesome and welcome addition to the Montpelier lunch scene. read more
