The restaurant had a cutesie environment! It sits on a lovely corner (we went during the night market)! The food was pretty good, the crab rangoons were wonderful and the fried rice was super refreshing! there was only one server and it was a rush so the service was slow but we gave him lots of grace because I couldn't imagine being the only server with all of those people. Our generic ratings: Food: 8.5 Service: 5 Comeback-ability: 5 read more

Delicious food! We tried the beef pad Thai and also the chicken pad Thai both were so flavored and also there was enough for lunch the next day the portion size was huge! Also the beef and chicken is halal here too. The service was good too. The place was also very large and very nice for large groups as well. read more

Pho Thai - Beef pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

I recommend this Thai-Vietnamese restaurant in New Haven. They have a wide variety of delicious dishes, such as pho, pad see ew noodles, Vietnamese sandwiches, tom yum seafood noodles, crispy mussels crepes, and many appetizers to choose from, including homemade gyoza, crab Rangoon, tender chicken satay, street-style grilled pork, and much more. There's so much to choose from, you'll have to come back several times to try everything! read more

This review is solely for the pho and not for the thai food (minus crab rangoons). Honestly, I would give the pho a 2/5 but the service was good and the server was very kind and attentive. Before we ordered 2 bowls of pho, we had asked for samples of the pho broth. The samples were delicious and flavorful! But when we got our bowls of pho, they were watered down and lacking flavor. I believe they added a little extra flavor to our samples that wasn't represented in our actual dishes. I got the pho tai, and there was only 4 pieces of meat which was unfortunate as well. I would not come here for the pho. We did enjoy our crab rangoon though. read more

Good mood good food good No matter how many times I go, I'm impressed every time. I've been there 5 times already, and everything is great -- the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I should also mention that they have new owners now, and everything has improved a lot. It's been about 8 months since the change, and they're doing an excellent job. read more

We decided to come here on a whim on a Wednesday around 1:30pm only to find the entire place devoid of customers. Despite this, we stayed and ordered drinks and summer rolls to split. My partner also ordered a bowl of pho. The rolls were fine, but the pho had a bland broth. The hostess who welcomed us was lovely, but our waiter left us with a sour taste. At one point we asked for spoons, and he immediately got us plates and never returned, so we had to track him down to clarify that we wanted spoons. Additionally, he charged us extra because when my partner ordered the pho that already came with meat, the waiter tricked him into ordering extra meat despite the back and forth of my partner confirming that meat was already included. It seems too that there was a language barrier, which shouldn't be an issue, but from the level of service, it seemed like it was this waiter's first day on the job. We were looking for some comfort food, but left feeling frustrated at this experience. read more

Pho Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Attempted to dine in shortly before our train we had to catch. We walked in and it was a very nice, kind of upscale dining area, and there were only two other parties dining in, since it was on the earlier side of the evening. We placed our order and planned to eat for a few minutes, but also get to-go boxes and the check as soon as the food came out. But 20 minutes later, our food still hadn't come out and we weren't going to be able to dine in at all. We asked to have our food packaged in to-go containers instead of plated, and paid the bill so we could just leave with our food once it came out. Another 10 minutes later, still no food and it was coming down to the wire. Finally, we couldn't wait any longer and we needed to be on the way out the door to get to our train. Just as we were getting up to tell our server to just cancel our order and issue me a refund, she came out with our bag of food. Relieved that we would still have dinner and be able to make our train, we thanked her as we took the bag and made our way to the train. We ate our food on the train. My boyfriend said his Pad See Ew was decent, but I wasn't terribly impressed with my Drunken Noodles. It was greasy and overcooked. The noodles were one mushy pile. And barely any flavor except just spicy (it's supposed to be a spicy basil sauce, but I could not taste any basil). I didn't see any reason our food should have taken that long to get out to us when they didn't seem too terribly busy. Maybe they had a lot of to-go orders, too, but there was only one person who came in to pick up a to-go order while we were there. Our server was very nice and understanding, and she did her best to get the kitchen to get our food out sooner, but I guess there wasn't much she could do. (One review here said something about how good food takes extra time, but this wasn't good enough to warrant that long of a wait. I've had better Drunken Noodles and only needed to wait 10 minutes at peak dinner rush.) We should have picked another place for dinner. read more

I loved this restaurant!! From the moment I walked in, I could feel the vibe!! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. It's so beautiful inside with the coolest swing seats too. I got to try multiple dishes and they were all so delicious. They offer multiple, beautiful drinks, including boba! It's a must try!!! read more

I have to say I'm so impressed by Pho Thai! This hidden gem is right in plain sight on Orange Street, and I'm honestly disappointed I hadn't tried them sooner. You HAVE to go on a Friday night when they do their braised lamb shank special - it's by far the best lamb I've ever had in my life. It's so tender and flavorful! It's available for dine in only every Friday. We tried a variety of their most popular menu items and weren't disappointed by any of them. The staff was very attentive with the food coming out quickly, and the restaurant had a nice vibe, especially near the coffee bar with some hanging, swaying chairs. We even had a couple lattes before we left and were impressed by the quality. I would definitely come back here! read more

One of my go-to restaurants in New Haven!! I love the Các Món Bún (aka Vermicelli salad bowl), which I usually get with grilled pork. During happy hour they have $1 fried egg roll and fried chicken, as well as deals on drinks. They also have a Lunch Special menu, which is where I ordered the Pad See Ew from and comes with complimentary egg rolls or salad. (I probably wouldn't get it again, though, since it was a bit too salty for my liking and didn't come with that much meat). The restaurant is very spacious, and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Please give this place a try! read more

I never write reviews but the pho here is insanely tasteless and bland. I'm actually kind of impressed with how badly they made the soup.

The service is amazing! Lovely vibe inside the restaurant with lots of natural lighting. Their food was phenomenal. 10/10, would definitely recommend this place! read more

We went to this place on Saturday night. We ordered a few appetizers , Com Dac with vermicelli and Pho. The appetizers were fine. They were edible. The Pho was fine nothing special about it. But Com Dac with vermicelli didn't come with sauce. I had to ask for sauce and the waiter looked confused and said you want fish sauce? I was like whatever. She brought me just plain fish sauce. I was stunned and couldn't eat it. I had to take it home and made my own sauce. Why would you waste your time and money to come to this place? They don't know what they're doing. I'm so done with this place. read more

Decent place. I tried them two days ago on Wednesday & back again tonight to try something different on the menu. I started off with the Pork Lemongrass Sausage then went on to the Larb Chicken Salad. Both were good. Service is very efficient and right there when you need or want them. The server was so friendly and accommodating. She was the filling my water very often. I drink a lot of water and need many refills. A little odd though in the restaurant where half of it isn't even being utilized. A large bar with absolutely no stock of bottles on it nor being used. Found this to be strange. Other than that things were great. Bathroom is very small. Very small. It was chilly in the restaurant tonight though 2.28.20 read more

Chewy beef and bland soup. Seriously what just happened to this pho. Did not even come with the meatballs or tripe listed on the menu. I could get way better pho for way less. read more

There's a review where someone called it "edible " and that's exactly what it is no more. The service is slow even tho it was us and 2 other tables. We were there for 30 minutes max ( we rushed out after a few bites of our entree). We never got our drinks in those 30 minutes. My calamari was over cooked felt like rubber. The beef in my rice had no flavor and was burnt. Basically it's not authentic 10 out of 10 would NOT recommend. read more

SCAMMERS. Charged me $21. Placed an order online and it was confirmed by email. I came to pick up my order and the door was locked, yet, even the the hours of operation on the door states that they are open. It was not a holiday. I call the next day to speak to a manger and explained, They hung up on me. When I came in to speak to someone shortly after, they told me they sold the restaurant and to got a coffee shop nearby that the previous owners own. I did, they seemed confused and directed me to reach out to Menufy to dispute. Menufy has been trying to contact the owner and every time they call they hang up or say they will call back. It's been a month an still no refund. Menufy tells me my only option is to dispute with my bank now. read more

given that i havent had vietnamese food in New Haven (since I heard there arent many good options) it hit the spot. Specifically, they do a good job with the flavor of the bbq pork. However, it wasnt exactly authentic. I have been to Vietnam and the flavors of the sauces as well as the ingredients were off. for example, the summer rolls were stuffed with lettuce rather than vermicelli and the peanut sauce definitely lacked oyster sauce in it. ive also never seen brocolli and lettuce served with bun in my life read more

Pho Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This place is the perfect date night restaurant. It has a great design and decoration that brings you in. My husband and I were here just two weeks ago. We ordered the Penang Curry and the Drunken Noodles for our entrees. The Penang Curry had such great freshness and flavor. It was unique and perfect as it's own dish. The drunken noodles had more of a sour kick more so than a umami soy flavor which kind of made me like it a little less. It wasn't bad, but I don't know if I would order it again. If I were to come back, I would order one of the curries - they seem like the bomb dot com. read more

Very very disappointed in my meal. First off, this is not an authentic Viet or Thai restaurant. The pho broth is very salty and doesn't the beefy broth flavor or spices. I ordered the seafood pho with beef broth and all it came with mussels and shrimp instead of the imitation crab and fish balls advertised on the menu. We ordered pork egg rolls and received vegetarian ones instead. The Thai larb gai salad didn't have any of the quintessential flavors like rice power, fish sauce and lime-terrible! The only thing I actually liked were the Thai fish cakes! Sorry but we will not be returning. read more

Decent thai food. Their kuchai (vegetable) was a bit greasy, but I was pleasantly surprised to find Teochew dishes here. They have kuay jap as well, but it is not vegetarian. In fact, most of their curries are made with fish sauce, so please know that before ordering. The pad see ew was great. Noodles were cooked well, and there was some wok hei going around. It's a pretty quiet place. A couple of people came to get their take-out orders while I was there, but otherwise the restaurant was pretty empty. Service is prompt. No complaints, solid restaurant. Maybe I'll try the pad thai next time. read more

Pho Thai - Pad see ew (tofu) - Vietnamese Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Today's order: #30 Pho Dac Biet (Medium size $10.95) * Vietnamese rice noodle soup with aromatic beef broth, thinly sliced rare beef, well done flank, tendon and tripe Time of arrival: 6pm on a Saturday night *The restaurant was still empty at this time and by the time I left the restaurant Some people may say I'm getting lenient with my reviews of New Haven establishments but this place is a solid New Haven 4. The taste, the noodle to meat ratio, the overall quality of the restaurant is definitely better than some of the other pho restaurants I have tried in the area. I'd say it's enough to pull me through the winter whenever I have pho cravings until I return to the Bay. The service was fairly quick and nice but there didn't seem to be many Vietnamese people working so that was unfortunate. read more

Ordered take-out on a cold night and was so surprisingly pleased!! Got Pho Dac Biet and a Pad Thai. Amazingly flavorful and plentiful! The Pho Dac Biet, despite take-out was so generous and one was even enough for two people! The Pad Thai was so dense in flavor! Better than I remember with reasonable prices given the times, I encourage others to give this place another try! read more

Pho Thai - Tofu Pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

We decided to have dinner at Pho Thai and our taste buds were not disappointed. We started off with the crunchy pork Gyoza, and for entrées we selected the beef, crazy noodle soup and the crispy softshell crab with basil chili. All of which were delicious. If you're sensitive to spice, I would ask for a mild version of the softshell crab. The servers were incredibly kind and the owners were very attentive and accommodating the spaces fun with comfortable hammock chairs, a beautiful bar and comfortable booths that sit up to five people for dessert, we had jasmine tea and baklava. This place is definitely worth a try! read more

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Moral of the story: I will never use GrubHub again and would definitely order from Pho & Spice in the future. Not to spend too much time of this review talking about GrubHub, I'll note that this time when I called the restaurant about the delays, the person I spoke with what very helpful in keeping me up-to-date on what information she had and what I could do to expedite the order. She gave me advice on how I could get a partial refund and genuinely sounded concerned about my experience. There are a ton of lunch special options, including a make-your-own in various categories. They come with a lot of food for the price. I still stuck with the spicy miso ramen this time, and it soothed my sicky soul. read more

Awful. Ordered the Kuchai Vegetable appetizer, which I ordered steamed and fell apart as soon as I started to pick it up. The flavor wasn't very good either. Also got the Pho Chay vegan noodle soup with tofu and vegetables and it was the worst pho I've ever had. There were only two pieces of tofu, the vegetables weren't cooked, and the noodles, which were the thinnest rice noodles I've ever seen, were packed tightly into a little ball (normal for pho) but must've been added to the soup right before they were served because they took several minutes to unpack and then they promptly fell apart when I tried to lift them. The whole soup was flavorless. No amount of Hoisin sauce, chili powder, sriracha and salt could save it. Awful, awful meal. Never coming here again. read more

1 star is being very generous. Yelp needs to allow a zero star option. I am writing this review as a warning to potential customers who are thinking of trying this place. Upon entry, there was a smell of dirty wet kitchen towels (first sign). The service was decent, but I was expecting it to be because there was only one table at dinner time on the weekend (second sign). After sitting down, I heard the sound of the microwave going off (third sign). The meal I had researched to be there was not on their new menu (fourth sign). And now the food : The rice was super mushy (fifth sign) The shredded chicken was chunks of nasty looking dark meat (sixth sign) The edamame looked like it was defrosted weeks ago and sitting in a water bin because it tasted like rotting fish (seventh sign) The mushrooms in the soup were not washed (eighth sign) The tofu in the soup, all 3 pieces, was not pressed (ninth sign) There was nothing Vietnamese flavored in any of the food ordered (tenth sign) This place fails all levels of health and food standards and needs to be closed and rethought out. There seem to be about 3-4 better options within a few blocks radius and I'll be looking into those. Do not waste your time, health, or money with this place. read more

Overall a good experience. Started with a Tom Kha soup which was 5 star delicious. Also had an order of Chicken Satay which is listed on the menu as coming with a Cucumber Salad and a Peanut sauce. It came out with no cucumber salad and when I asked the server about this, she said we don't have cucumber salad, it comes with peanut sauce. Had I known it didn't come with cucumber salad like the menu said I wouldn't of ordered it. Finished off my dinner with a Chicken Pad See Ew. It was good not great. Asked for spicy. Came not spicy at all. read more

So I can't believe I have not rated this spot yet. This is hands down one of my fav Thai restaurants if I want Thai food which is pretty much every day I'll order from here but this time I ate inside and got my a pad Thai plate with tofu I also had fried calamari for an app and ragoons which is my fav thing. My bf gets a pineapple rice with chicken. This restaurant NEVER forgets anything, the food is always amazing and fills my belly like I fill my plate at buffets and they are so clean and friendly. It's nice they are open for dine in now but you can tell the takeout is the go to cause they are constantly bringing up food bagged up. If I can give a 10star because they're so amazing I would but the limit is five haha. My go to thing to order is the massaman curry. Nom nom nom read more

Why are they so slow on serving..? Their reputation is messed up after the change of name and owner. I usually don't get mad with slow services but this was too much.

They are very sweet here I like the food and their prices are pretty good. I get the spicy fried rice with shrimp and I wasn't disappointed anytime I get their food.

Came here with two of my friends and it was average, decent. Large selection of pho and ramen....the dining room was full, with only 2-3 servers so the service was not good - but they were trying and obviously overwhelmed. A lot of other people were calling the waitress over, which you should never have to do. We got the gyoza - they were good, standard. Maybe i need to try other things on the menu, but i felt like this place was just average. Very nice dining area though. read more

I was a bit disappointed to find out that Bentara was closing but excited to learn that a Vietnamese/Thai restaurant with a promising menu was taking its place. Being from Hawai'i, a melting pot of Asian cultures, I was quite well versed in Asian cuisine. Seeing dac biet and banh mi on the menu meant signs of promise! A few of my friends and I decided on trying this place on a windy Saturday afternoon. They immediately sat us and were quick to fill our waters. We ordered a bunch of appetizers (golden bag and summer rolls) and when I proceeded with ordering the large pho, I was informed that the bowl was HUGE, so I went for the medium. My friends ordered the avocado dancing curry and drunken noodles. Our orders came out within ten minutes. The appetizers arrived with them piping hot. The crab rangoons were golden brown and generously filled with crab and cream cheese goodness. The summer rolls were nice and fresh with crisp vegetables, shrimp, and pork. Our waitress then brought out the entrees, and she was right in that the pho was large even though mine was only a medium. The sign of great pho is in the broth. A taste of the clear, flavorful broth convinced me that this was made by a cook who knew what he/she was doing. My bowl was also filled with generous amounts of noodles and enough tendon, tripe, and steak for each spoonful. I also had a taste of my friends' dishes and they were very good. This place has promise send definitely represents Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. I will definitely be back soon. read more
