I will absolutely make the 1hr+ drive to come to this hole in the wall magic place PHO sure!!!!!…read more I had never been to Hartford and we only stumbled upon this gem through Yelp. We had just a quick moment to get a bite in before our concert at People's Bank Arena and this place was the perfect spot. From sizzling pho broths with crazy noodle pulls to banh mi (which is what clearly they're known for), they have every bit of Vietnamese comfort food and drinks. Because we were a bit short on time (should've totally ordered online) we only ordered a tofu vegan pho. Normally they say it takes just a few minutes but with the slammed kitchen and orders coming through in person and online that took a bit longer than expected. We normally wouldn't have cared we just didn't want to miss the concert opening. It was a rainy night and a little bit cold so it was the perfect comfort food before we went and screamed off our heads haha. Our bowl was absolutely perfect. The super hot broth, perfectly cooked noodles, toppings, I even got Thai chili on there to make it even hotter. We were sweating, slurping and sipping. SO worth it. I think it's safe to say this is the BEST pho broth and combo I've ever had. I absolutely love this place and will be dreaming of this comfort food until I can get some again. Also, almost forgot to mention this is a very small space with some long shaded community tables available, meant to be shared. You will be tight and close with others and I think this is what makes it even better as part of the experience. Also every order is done on their screens so you pay and go and then the food comes out as it's ready. There's not really a server or anything more like order and go or sit and enjoy. Super casual. Absolutely love this place!

Even though they've since closed their first location, they still serve one of the best meals I could ever want. They had expanded into 257 Asylum Street, still connected to their business in Ann Uccello where they have always operated the kitchen. You might be able to see the chef in action through the glass window. I've been told that this expanded section used to be a salon. The cool light fixtures used to be above where the pedicure station was and also another reason there is a sink on the main floor. This is not quite a wait-on-you type of restaurant. You place an order through the kiosks on the wall and service staff will provide it to you when it's ready. It would be the same thing if you'd like any additions, in exception to condiments which are on the table. There is a water dispenser available for self service and a sink is nearby to wash your hands, as well as where you can place your dishes when finished similar to cafes. My go-to is always their Dry Noodle. The Daikon Bowl is probably my second favorite. I usually look out for their specials. It's too bad they do not offer the same item too often. It's simply too good! They also serve delicious refreshments that I forget to take photos of! Till next time!

The servers were very fast and efficient, and the clientele seemed like all regulars that came here often to enjoy pho. Definitely will be back whenever I'm in the Hartford area!

I always love the peanut sauce the comes with it. The pho was absolutely delicious. The broth was so flavorful that it didn't need anything extra. The meatballs in the soup were amazing.

I got the original banh mi with pork, extra pate and pickled daikon and carrots. It was my favorite out of the three banh mi I got. The grilled beef was lacking flavor for me and was quite chewy. The meatball banh mi was delicious but is a close second to the pork. The bread was super fresh like a nice baguette should be. The cilantro, cucumber and pickled carrots/daikon paired so well with the cold cut meats and velvety pate. The fresh and pickled veggies gave it a nice crunch. It was mildly spicy with the fresh chili pepper. The store also had a variety of snacks I've been looking for. It is clean, organized and the cashier was very helpful. I can't wait to go back!

There's little ambiance but it doesn't matter in the least to me. I went for dinner on Saturday with my mom, my sister and three aunts. We all pretty much got the same thing (because we love it), the shrimp rolls, the eggs rolls and the "ravioli" (a cold/summer roll) and various orders of the pancakes. I had shrimp and the others had chicken. The portion is gigantic, as you get 2 pancakes stuffed with sprouts, protein and mushrooms. They do take phone ahead/take out but no online ordering, unfortunately. The food comes out fast and hot. Please check them out because the owner said they're on borrowed time, after 37 years in business. They have a local following that would be so sad to see them close.
