The other day, I finished trying all of the phở places I could find in Fitchburg and Leominster,…read moreand a majority of places in Worcester. I felt that it was appropriate for me to come back here and see if my (and my wife's!!) opinions on phở have changed in the past year. I actually live down the street from this place, and despite being in very close proximity I've only been here... 4 times? Located in a small strip mall right next to the N Main Street, Leominster Dunkin' Donuts, this place has been a solid fixture that I've passed by nearly every day since I could even remember anything. Google AI Overview tells me they've been open since 1998. With that said, the parking is a pain since it requires diagonal parking and little room for error when backing out. It's a shared lot between a few other businesses too, so I don't really understand how they can manage on busy days. I've only come here for dinner and the place has a nice, very dim atmosphere. This seems exactly the kind of spot to bring your partner out for a quiet dinner; I don't think I heard anyone else around us talking lol. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive but I can't help but feel disappointed that no one speaks Vietnamese; they said they were all Hmong. Anyways... Sparkling Salty Plum Drink ; this drink is always delicious in every place and this quality matches all others. and I'm always left wanting more. recommended. Gỏi Cuốn ; Vietnamese salad (or fresh) rolls. I order this at every restaurant that serves it. I have to be candid here - this is the worst one I've had out of the dozens of Asian restaurants I've eaten in. These rolls were mostly lettuce, so the crispy and watery texture is all you can taste and feel. The peanut sauce was also the most flavorless I've tried as well. For the first time ever my wife had to scoop a decent amount onto her roll just to taste something - she always dunks the teeniest tiniest corner at other places. Do. Not. Recommend. Phở Bò Viên ; this was the first phở spot I brought my wife and both of us agreed... we did not like the phở here. Have our opinions changed? Not really. The broth is very light with a delicate beef flavor. I could see myself enjoying this in the spring time if I was looking for a light lunch. As I got further in the bowl the tangy and oniony flavor really comes out and I'm left finding it unpleasant. Upon first taste before I dug in, my wife still found the broth too sour. This place also has the samn damn problem as many others: the noodles are TOO narrow and slippery and they rob most of the volume of the bowl. And you better eat it fast before it's too soggy. The meatballs here were way tougher than other phở places. Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang ; this was my wife's choice and off the bat she said this bowl is too sweet. That's actually crazy since she finds most places to be too salty and too sour. I took a sip of it and had to agree. The broth is light but has a strong seafood-forward and sweet taste. She managed to eat all of it, but she really had to alter the bowl with lime juice and Sriracha to make it palatable. Overall, we didn't particular like our last visit, and our minds haven't really changed after giving it another shot. Maybe I'll come back some other time to try the rice dishes.

The hot spring rolls with pork/crab are great and come out piping hot. The quality of the meat in the beef pho is adequate, and the broth is nice and rich. I wish they had tendon in the beef pho, not sure if that's an option here. Service is friendly, and food usually comes out pretty quickly. This is probably the closest pho place to us and we will come back.

We've been to a lot of the restaurants in Northampton and decided to jump over to Amherst to try a new to me restaurant. This was a cold and damp afternoon, only a day after a snow storm. Mom was excited to order her Tofu Bahn Mi, but I was really looking forward to a big bowl of hot Chicken Pho and a Summer Roll. Our friend tried the Rice Bowl with Steak and Shrimp and a Bao Bun which was delicious. My mom loved her sandwich. The bread alone was enough to make me decide that I must try one next time. My Pho broth was well flavored. The chicken pieces were slightly smaller than what I'm used to from other places, but there was plenty to enjoy. There was an adequate amount of noodles, basil, sprouts and jalapeños. My Summer Roll, while quite enjoyable, was a little difficult to eat. I'm used to having my roll cut in half and this was served whole. The wrapper started to fall apart at one point, but I made sure that I didn't lose anything. Our friend's bowl was good and filling and we were told that the bun was delicious,

It's been many years since I've been here, this used to be my favorite Pho place. The owners have…read morechanged, used to be a whole family, now operated by just 2 young people. The pho soup is still very flavorful, I can taste the bone broth base, maybe lack just a little bit depth compared to the original. The "everything" combo has only 3 meat listed vs. 5 for typical authentic Pho, but the tripe showed up unannounced, a positive surprise to me. However, it still doesn't have my favorite, that's beef tendon. The main disappointment lies within the rice noodles, it's mushy & soggy, been in the soup too long. This could be easily avoided by leaving the cooked rice noodle out of water & only combine with pho soup upon serving. There's no justification for serving soggy rice noodles, texture is a big part of good pho.

I've been meaning to eat at Soc Trang for a while now, and today I got the opportunity to do so…read more I'm very glad I did! The food is excellent. Their menu is varied, there are many options to choose from. Vegetarian options are available, the food is fresh and they aren't skimpy on the portions. Prices are reasonable, and fair. I ordered the Banh Pho Xao, which is not the Pho soup, it's a fried noodle dish, with chicken. Fresh and delicious. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and courteous. Such nice people. I support local businesses, this restaurant is owned by local folks, and is a gem in the neighbourhood. Parking is free, there's a parking lot in the front, and also free parking is available on the street. I don't drive, and if you don't either, fear not! The PVTA G1 bus will take you right up there. Get off at Sumner and White St, and it's a short walk to Soc Trang from there. And to get back to Union Station, cross White St, to the PVTA kiosk, and take the G1 back to Union Station. This restaurant serves food all day, there's no closure of the kitchen between lunch and dinner, so if you're hungry at 3:30 in the afternoon like I was, you won't have to worry about seeing a "Closed until 5" sign. The restaurant itself is clean, and well organised. It's family friendly, and from what I saw, there's room for parties, family gatherings, or small receptions. There was a large fish tank, which was very clean, with peaceful, healthy fish swimming around. All in all, a very pleasant experience!
