I come here frequently for the hot and sour soup and fried spring rolls. I love both. If you're looking for a really good, authentic pho, you can go somewhere else for that. They don't use fish sauce here that gives the broth that umami flavor, and I see reviews complaining about the lack of flavor. The owner is sweet, and the service is always good. I usually come for late lunch, and it's quiet. read more

Sprout serves delicious, authentic Vietnamese food at an affordable price. The Pho broth was flavorful without being salty, and the sprout salad came with a delicious dressing and the shrimp were fresh and grilled to perfection. Service was very fast and friendly. Seating is available in booth though you order at the counter. read more

Wait staff is really friendly , however , the pho lacked flavor. Even with the Sriracha and salt ; it was bland , if you want good pho, Le's kitchen on mill plain rd seems to be the best , only downside is they do not have mushrooms but you can bring your own per staff . read more

Sprouts Vietnamese Eatery - Grilled beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Good food and good service at good prices. We like Thai and Indian food and found this food rather bland. Won't be returning

I so badly want to give this eatery five stars, because the food is cooked by a culinary expert. It's tasty, completely, delightfully fresh, and delicious. The biggest problem with this place is their hours. They're usually closed on weekends. That's very frustrating. Oh, and they don't believe in plastic, and will pack your soup in cardboard containers, put into paper bags. It has resulted in disaster on the ride home a couple of times. It's incomprehensible that, after years and years of Asian food being carefully packed to go, that this is the case. ‍ read more

The food was delicious!! So yummy. And prices very reasonable. Not really a place to eat in but you can. Loved it. The kitchen looked very clean read more

This was the worst Vietnamese food I have had in a long time. No flavor at all, not in the Pho, not in the Bun. So sad because we just moved to this area and so wanted it to be delicious. It didn't even have all of the usual fabulous smells of Vietnamese food. We won't go back. I only gave it one star because the shrimp spring rolls were large and wrapped well and didn't fall apart. So disappointed. read more

Very disappointed in the Pho. Tasted like dishwater and could not eat it. The. Place is clean and cute. Would not return.

5 stars, and here's why: 1. Friendly cashier who is always smiling, no matter how busy she is. She makes a great first impression! 2. Vietnamese cuisine. Not Italian, Chinese, pizza, or another deli. No, this is off-the-beaten path for Bethel, and you're not gonna find better food. 3. Food! Yes, the food is delicious and fresh and unique and just lovely! The bahn-mi sandwich in beef is recommended, as are the non-fried spring rolls in pork. Absolutely delicious! read more

Run.. don't walk here!! Food is always fresh and delicious. I always get the grilled pork Banh Mi sandwich. If you've never had it, your missing out. Crunchy pickled veggies, charcoal grill pork and cilantro all on a crispy baguette. It's a great sandwich! The ambiance is simple, enough if you'd like to eat in. Always service with a smile! read more

I ordered the fresh spring rolls for lunch today. I was bummed. It said it had carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, mint, sprouts and protein. My roll was LOTS of lettuce. There were some noodles and a few sprouts with my shrimp, but that was it. No flavor at all. Too bad, I was hoping I found a new lunch place. read more

I like sprout. You go there and you know what you are getting. Food is good and employees are always nice and friendly. I recommend. I always take the Vietnamese chicken curry. Tasty. My husband takes the beef stew, or other dishes and he also likes them a lot. Go there and enjoy. read more

I didn't have a good first experience with their pho when I went during their opening time and haven't went back since. I was craving a banh mi and they were the only place around that made it so I decided to give it another try. While the flavor of the meat was good, it just didn't taste like an authentic banh mi. The pickled veggies weren't pickled and on the bottom instead of top, the bread was kind of soggy/stale. I also ordered the fried egg roll which seemed to lack flavor, the shrimp summer roll was basically a salad roll with mostly lettuce and two strands of noodles inside. I really wished I liked it but it was just ok. read more

Sprouts Vietnamese Eatery - Shrimp summer roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Good food and awesome service. Nice and quick and easy to find, no complaints and thanks again

I love Sprouts! The food always tastes so fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and has adequate seating and the owner and staff are wonderful. My favorites from here are the Fresh Spring Rolls, the Fried Spring Rolls, Noodle Salad, and the Vietnamese Curry (chicken), however anything else I've tried from the menu has been very good. These days I tend to order takeout rather than eat in the restaurant and while I do wish they'd use an online ordering service for convenience, calling in the order is fast and easy. read more

Love this place! Everyone is so nice and the food is great, affordable and quick. We get take out from here usually once a week. The shrimp spring rolls are very flavorful, filling and comes with a delicious peanut dipping sauce. The beef pho is our go to order and comes with the broth and noodles separated. Sometimes the broth tastes a little different from before, but always good so you know they make it fresh. I've also had their chicken curry - super tasty with great coconut flavor and tender chicken. The chicken banh mi is also great. The garnishes are fresh, the chicken slices are plentiful and covered in a sweet yet light sauce. It's nice that you can also order half orders of the banh mis, so you can mix and match with other items. You can get a tasty and very filling lunch or dinner for around just $10. Food comes out quick and you can also call ahead for take out orders. The place itself is very clean and casual for eating in as well. Definitely come here and support this family owned restaurant serving great Vietnamese food. read more

Tasty and authentic Vietnamese food, highly recommended - my personal go-to for their sesame balls

Oh hell yeah!!!! Got takeout recently. Totally worth the trip. Spring rolls and pho beef. Even the "kids" meals were generous portions. Let's talk about the cost: I felt like I was in a Crazy Eddie, cuz the prices are insane!!!! Looking at some of the other reviews, one girl said the employees were rude to her. Girl, you must have zero personality because the staff was nothing but pleasant. One of them even came from behind the counter and held the door open for me. Go find another spot more suited to your Negative Nancy 'tude. More beef ball pho for me. read more

Visited Sprouts for the first time yesterday and it was definitely yummy. My co worker got the pork bah mi sandwich and it had very crunchy bread and perfectly grilled pork with the fresh veggies on the top. She also got the Thai ice team that was enjoyed. I got the grilled beef pho large bowl and it was good super fresh thai basil on top with a yummy broth, beef, sprouts and glass noodles. They have a few tables you can sit outside or inside We will definitely be back to try some of the other options that are offered and you can also place an order for take out. You place your order at the counter and then it is brought to you. They are in a plaza so parking is great and they do accept credit card. read more

Duong really cares about her customers. Everything she serves is so fresh and delicious.

DELICIOUS Vietnamese food, lovingly prepared, and absolute perfection. The pho is full of yummy noodles and protein. THE best thing is their Sprouts Salad: White cabbage, cucumber, carrot, green apple, onion, bean sprouts and mint. The salad is dressed up with Vietnamese tangy lime dressing (salt, sugar, lime and sarachi) with a little crunch of roasted peanut/sesame seed with a choice of topping. I LOVE the grilled chicken. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Great prices as well! Best is the fried spring rolls and their banh mi. Also enjoy their salad and their rice dish. Can't go wrong with anything! It is small inside so sometimes seating is limited. read more

What a great little place! After driving through the area yesterday, we spotted it and stopped for lunch. Ordered a large beef pho. Ready in minutes. Worth the money. Great menu, lots of tasty and amazing choices. read more

We go here almost every week. The family who runs it is so kind every single time. I've never gotten a bad order from here. The pho is absolutely to die for. Not too salty but with lots of flavor. The rice dish is great as well. Portions are huge for the price!!! Big respect to them for such amazing service, price, and taste. 10/10!!!! read more

Bethel is not the place for pho. Bridgeport is where you need to go. Pho saigon on wood ave. I get the house special with beed and beef tendon. Legendary stuff! read more

Visited about 18 months ago and never reviewed. Unfortunately they were out of some items when we went to order. The chicken vermicelli bowls we did have very good. Loved all the fresh mint on top. I'd say it's worth a try. read more

I have worked in the Downtown Bethel area for 3 years. I was going for a walk one day when I noticed this place tucked away behind the main drag (behind the Rocco's Deli plaza). I grabbed a menu and thought to myself that it was on the leaner side. I immediately looked up the place on yelp (per usual) and my eyes widened from the glowing reviews. Next week I convinced a co-worker to come with me to try it. I ordered a Chicken Pho and she got a chicken sandwich and we split fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were spot on - A++ ! The best part....the sweet and sour sauce is home-made (at least I think...it is amaaazzzing (so descriptive I know, but try it trust me!) I have been back many times over. Here is my review of all the things I've had: Fried Spring Rolls: A+ Chicken Pho Soup: A Chicken Banh Mi (sandwich): A- Vietnamese Curry (Chicken): A++ (I highly recommend this, my absolute favorite). I will be back as often as I can. Thank you for opening in downtown bethel! read more

Starting with the extremely kind staff, this was an amazing experience! The food was delicious, and celiac friendly. Super fresh and quick, as well. read more

I came in yesterday for lunch with my coworkers. The place was clean and the food was delicious. My coworkers had Pho. I had the beef sandwich which was delicious and we shared the fresh egg rolls which were amazing! I'll be back to try the pho when the weather gets colder. read more

I read someone else's review of Sprouts saying it wasn't authentic Vietnamese food, and while I have so much respect for the owner and her family, I have to agree. I have given this place so many chances and unfortunately it does not have that same homemade goodness such as Xay's Kitchen or Le's. Sprouts' strong points are definitely spring rolls, egg rolls, and Bun bowls. But their pho, curry and hot & sour soups sadly fall flat in body and taste. I'm not sure if these dishes are catered to "non-Asian" tastebuds but I just think the right ingredients are not used. They still have some great items and I will gladly support a local business. read more

On a cold day like today, I figured soup was a must, especially pho. And I know I harped about the pho broth in my previous Sprouts review due to the lack of flavor, but I figured I'd risk the long shot and try it again to see if my initial statement remained true. I ordered out this time around since I didn't have the time to dine in. I went with a small beef combo pho and a side of fresh shrimp spring rolls. The turnaround time from me paying to me actually receiving my food was about 10 minutes, which is pretty great, especially if you're in a rush to get back to work. Everything was packaged up nicely for me to carry back to my office. The amount of broth they give you for a small order didn't seem like much, but it filled out pretty well once all of the soup components were added. The beef, noodles, scallions, and white onions were packaged in one container, while the lime slice, bean sprouts, and basil were packaged separately in a Ziploc bag. The meal also came with a small container of hoisin sauce and sriracha combined, but it only seemed like the hoisin made the appearance. Once everything was added, I dug in. The broth was much better this time, with again, zero traces of MSG. My mouth wasn't questing for water after every spoonful of broth, which is the best way to tell for MSG. Very hearty, very light, thoroughly delicious. The noodles and meat components were also prepared perfectly and tasted great with the stock. Can't forget about the spring rolls. I'm still wishing Sprouts could combine the pork and shrimp elements into one spring roll, but for now, I'll take what I can get. These rolls are fantastic and have a nice snap to them when you bite down. The ingredients in each roll tasted super fresh and the peanut dipping sauce wasn't overpowering to the actual dish. I'm a fan. All in all, I was more impressed this time around from Sprouts than I was from my initial dine-in experience. It's tough to judge a good bowl of pho sometimes since the flavor can get caught under tons of unwanted flavor (MSG), but I think Sprouts has a great foundation to be a new up and coming Vietnamese spot within the Bethel area. read more

Fresh fresh fresh, like Vietnamese should be. The only complaints people have about sprouts is the broth is sweet - they do add sugar, but the reason is because Sprouts doesn't have plum sauce on the table. Plum sauce has gluten in it, and they're labeling their pho as gluten free. It's a very classy and somewhat risky move to make since people are on the prowl for authentic pho, but it hits the spot for me and gets a solid five. The other complaint people have is that they run out of chicken pho. Unlike some places in Seattle which use the same beef broth and just toss chicken in the bowl, they brew up chicken pho here from scratch and only have what's in the vat to serve. If they run out, they run out, and it's that good so come early on Friday if you're going at all. Order up front, grab a table and enjoy the ride. Tip in the jar up front after you order - it's a family run place so they share it and I'm sure they appreciate seeing the gesture. read more

Sprouts Vietnamese Eatery - Yes, we've tried their entire menu. It's all good. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

This absolute gem is tucked away on a side street adjacent to greenwood avenue. The spring rolls were full, flavorful and tender and the pho as flavorful as I've ever had. This place sure gives bethel (the home of crappy pizza) done much needed epicurean credibility. The staff are all friendly and the place, while no frills is very clean. My first and surely not my last visit here. Sprouts will surely earn a spot on the weekly lunch rotation. Well done and welcome to Bethel! read more

Sprouts Vietnamese Eatery - Fresh grilled chicken spring rolls! - Vietnamese Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

This cute little place on a side road in down town Bethel actually has a decent amount of seating and some really great Vietnamese food! No offense to "fusion" places but it is very nice to see an Asian restaurant focus on a particular country's specialties. Sprouts focuses on Pho (soup), salad, spring rolls, noodle dishes and bahn mi (sandwiches). The place seems to be more geared towards lunch with a small-ish menu and earlier closing hour. My first time out I tried the shrimp spring rolls, meat ball pho and a steak Bahn Mi all of which was split between two people. We both agreed that the food was fresh and delicious. Everything featured fresh herbs and bright flavors that made for a very interesting meal. Pho was the stand out with noodles, awesome broth and meatballs that were solid, firm, super lean and tasty. Highly recommended to anyone who loves Asian food or who wants to try something different. read more

Tried the pho, chicken spring rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and pork bahn mi. All delicious! Good value, clean restaurant, and friendly staff.

Tiny, clean and simply decorated, Sprouts offers DELICIOUS, HIGH QUALITY, Vietnamese food. We just stumbled into it... after leaving the Pascack Movie Theatre. It is so small that we almost walked past it on our way to our car in the shopping center parking lot. Do NOT pass by this tiny wonderful restaurant with its super good food!! It is excellent. read more

Sprouts is our go-to for delicious, fresh, healthy Asian salads and pho. My kids love the sandwiches and desserts too! And so reasonably priced. read more

Tried Sprouts for the 1st time today after seeing great reviews and trying to find a good place to take friends that were visiting from out of state! We were sooooo disappointed from the time we ordered. They were completely out of pork and banh mi AND the "cold noodle" dish which I'm assuming was vermicelli (although the girl that was taking my order didn't know what vermicelli was....yet she works at a Vietnamese restaurant...weird!) Therefore, our entire group ordered Pho....my husband speaks Vietnamese and has been part of the Vietnamese community for years.....meaning we know what Pho should taste like....and this was terrible, tasteless, and bland. There were so many noodles in the broth. They also didn't provide any Hoisin sauce to add:( Cleanliness was also a problem. Trash under our seats and a garbage can that would not stay closed right next to the table read more
