    Vietnamese coffee
    Kevin D.

    Still pretty good pho, big portions and good flavors I've come to this place a few times throughout the year. It's a good pho spot for the Vernon location. The portions are plentiful, the soup is okay but there's plenty of toppings and sauces to doctor it up a bit. The spring rolls and egg rolls have a good amount of pork in them and the dipping sauces are fresh and tasty. The egg roll sauce is this rose water floral sweet, tangy dip which helps with the rich pork. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls had a little spicy zip to it which complimented the fresh veggies. Overall, it's good pho. The pho base needs to be more assertive in its flavor profile. It needs a deeper beef or chicken flavor and more seasoning. So possibly a bit more salt and vinegar to amp up the flavors of the soup a bit. If they make the soup base stronger, then it can contend with the big names of pho in ct. as it stands though, it's pretty good for the area

    Pholy is an absolute gem! Their pho is incredible--rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked ingredients that keep me coming back. The fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce are always so fresh and delicious, and the peanut sauce is spot on. And you cannot leave without trying the Vietnamese iced coffee--bold, smooth, and the perfect balance of sweet and strong. Everything from the food to the experience is consistently amazing. Highly recommend!

    Gave this place another try, and to be honest the broth was so much better than the last time I've tried it for bbh. I am not a noodle person, but on the cold rainy day I was craving it. I got the special pho and the flavor of the broth was good. The flavor broth reminded me of how my mom made her pho. Again I'm not a pho place and a lot of places are hit or miss. It's not always consistent but for the price you pay they give you a decent amount of meat in your soup as well. Some places give like 4 piece of meat. I'll return when I want pho again.

    Great food with some available dishes I haven't seen at other Vietnamese restaurants. Everything I've tried has been delicious. They do a lot of take out business and usually only have one or two servers so if it's busy service might slow down just a bit but they hustle and it's not a problem.

    I went here with my bf recently & we were both so happy with our pho! Love the amount of noodles they give, broth is so yummy, and the atmosphere is calm and clean. Service was polite and helpful. Oh and their thai tea was sooo good. I can't wait to go again :)

    From service to food everything is excellent, we had pork spring roll which is good except not much noodle inside we just so use to the shrimp spring roll always have lots noodles in the paper wrap. Pho is excellent too. Definitely will be back when we in this area.

    I have been to this restaurant a few times with a friend and we have never been disappointed. The tofu appetizer is a must every time. I always order the vegetarian noodle soup. It's always hot and delicious. This place gets full of people at lunchtime which is a good sign. It's not a fancy place but the food is consistently of excellent quality and the servers are always friendly and efficient. Just writing this review is making me crave the food again!

    Quaint restaurant. The marinated pork was absolutely delicious - my dad had me try a piece and it was amazing. If I lived nearby I'd easily make this a regular thing to order. The pho broth was really good but I think the brisket could've been prepared better it was really tough and I prefer a different noodle than the thin ones.

    To start with, this place is fresh and bright. They were packed tonight when I arrived @7:00PM. No problem. They had a small table in the corner that was perfect for just me. I was served iced water immediately and asked to please be patient. They came back less than 10 minutes later and asked if I had any questions. I did and they were promptly answered and I ordered. I had the fried egg rolls. They were amazing!!! I also had the Pho with beef balls. They brought out my egg rolls first as they were an appetizer. Then bean sprouts,jalapeños, sweet basil and a quarter of a lime. I put it all in my pho when it arrived and thus began one of the best meals I have had in quite a while. Loved the food, the people and the atmosphere. BTW they are family owned and operated. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

    This is the portion of broccoli that $5.25 gets you! The kicker is that they were hard and undercooked!

It's close to a sporting complex, in the same plaza as a larger brewery. Not the easiest to spot, will need the gps to assist. The inside is sparse in decoration but the staff was very friendly. We got the spring rolls, the fried wonton, a pho and a bahn mi. Food came out quick, we took pics then dug in. The wontons had a good pork and scallion filling. They didn't need sauce to taste good, which is a good sign. The spring rolls were okay, crispy but oily and the dipping sauce was weak. The pho was good, meat was tender, noodles were okay, and soup base was chicken broth with spices. The bahn mi was pretty good as well. Pickled veggies were very sweet, the ham was tender enough and the mayo butter was heavy handed. The bread was crusty but soft, not what I consider to be proper bahn mi bread, but good enough. Price was about 45 for the two apps and entrees, which is about average for that style of meal. It's not anything to write home about. I would recommend ordering to go mainly because the dining space is right underneath a wrestling ring and the floor shakes when someone gets body slammed below. But it's good enough pho for that area

    I'm finally back here. The restaurant is Vietnamese and is located at 252 Broad St. in Manchester,…read moreCT. It's been quite some time. This is possibly the largest pho (Vietnamese) restaurant in the state (next to Pho Boston). The decor is real nice too. The menu is huge. There are a lot of options including classic Vietnamese non-soup dishes (one of which I am getting). Unique items include salmon spring rolls and salmon noodle soup. There is no music. That should be on while they're open. The owner, Pete, immediately serves me a huge glass of ice water with a lime. It's warm outside so it's very refreshing. For my drink, I'm having a Nuoc Chanh (fresh lime). Nước chanh is a classic Vietnamese limeade, known for its refreshing balance of tart, sweet, and occasionally a hint of salt. In Vietnamese cuisine, "chanh" usually refers to green limes, though lemons can be used as a substitute abroad. This is good! It tastes closer to lemonade. For my appetizer, I am having the Goi Cuon Ga (chicken spring rolls). Gỏi cuốn gà are fresh, non-fried rolls filled with poached chicken, rice vermicelli, fresh herbs (mint, cilantro), and lettuce wrapped in thin rice paper. They are a light, healthy alternative to the traditional pork and shrimp version, often served with peanut hoisin dipping sauce or fish sauce (nước chấm). These are light and easy to eat. The cubed or diced or minced chicken is a different approach I haven't seen before. Add sriracha sauce for a little kick. These are good! They do serve everything on styrofoam plates. Adding some ceramic plates would be a nice touch. For my entree, I'm having the ga luclac (also known as Shaking Chicken). This is stir fried chicken breast with mixed vegetables and white rice. Vietnamese Shaking Chicken (gà lúc lắc) is a popular dish featuring wok-seared, cubed chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and garlic, resulting in a caramelized, savory flavor. It is typically seared at high heat to create a crust, served over greens with onions and tomatoes, often accompanied by rice. I've asked for extra spicy. Let's see what comes out. There's always sriracha sauce as a last resort. This is more like it! It's served sizzle hot! That's a big portion! This tastes great! It's nice to be served by the owner himself! What a great meal here! P.S.: When paying, you need to go up to the front counter.

The outside of the restaurant is a little disarming, but once you go in, it's incredibly welcoming. The owner himself served our table, and you could tell he was passionate about his food. I cannot wait to return and try some more items!

Not great service there. Delivery arrived promptly and the food was nice and hot. It was well packed, too, with layers of cardboard so things didn't get squashed and all the sauces and liquids were in plastic bags so they didn't leak all over the bag. The Crab Bags were excellent. Good ratio of filling to wonton. Great flavor. Some of the best I've ever had. The Orange Chicken came with the sauce separate so the chicken was nice and crisp. Nice layer of vegetables under the chicken; but the taste wasn't great. We won't order this again. The Panang Curry was very disappointing. The sauce was way too watery--I thought it was soup at first. There was no depth of flavor; just watery taste. There also wasn't very much beef. I asked for mild spice and the spice was very mild. Just a little kick on the after taste, so that was just right. But overall this dish was definitely not worth the money. If we order again I'll try the Pad Thai instead. Later: I dumped all the rice in the container of sauce and after it sat there for quite a while it absorbed enough of the sauce to not be so watery any more and the flavor improved (and so did the kick). But waiting for over an hour to eat it and having to re-heat is not optimal and the flavor was just ok.
