I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review of Sunrise. This unassuming strip mall Vietnamese restaurant is part of the fabric of my life. We've been coming here for over ten years. We and the proprietors have watched one another's kids grow up. From casual, post-workout lunches to birthday celebrations, Sunrise owns a permanent spot at the top of our rotation. What makes this place so good? The decor and ambiance are entirely without pretense, yet the food is absolutely top-notch. Whether it's pho on a cold day or vermicelli salad on a hot one, I've never been disappointed. The service is personalized and attentive as only a family restaurant can be. All this, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm so glad that Sunrise is our neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. I look forward to dining there for many years to come. read more

One of the first places that shows up in Newport when you're looking for Phō so we stopped in for dinner on a chilly night. It was quiet inside and not very busy. The waiter took our order quickly and answered any questions well. The food came out right after we finished our appetizers and it was delicious. I had the large combo and I wasn't able to finish it all. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking to warm the bones up with something tasty. read more

Sunrise Restaurant - Large Combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Easy to overlook this place for it is not very try advertised and it is tucked away in a small shopping strip. I was extremely impressed with the quality and authenticity of my pho! The staff was pretty rude, so that's honestly my only complaint. Otherwise, highly recommend if you are looking for quality tasty pho! read more

We hadn't been in here in a few years after getting take out and being disappointed. Decided to give it another try last night and sadly we are done. I got the cashew chicken and my spouse got the crispy chicken lo mein. We ordered off a take out paper menu and when we saw the total for two meals, we were shocked. Turns out the cashew chicken went from $11.95 to $18 and the lo mein went from $14.95 to $20! That's quite a jump. To top it off it was lacking flavor. Very bland. I am sad to take a local spot off of our "go to" list. read more

Delicious. Had the veggie and tofu pho for take out and it was perfect. Just the right amount of food and the flavor was on point. Super happy that I found a good pho place. Thank you for the delicious dinner :) read more

Was so excited to finally find a pho place in Newport... This is what they consider a medium and double meat, which I paid $26 for... very good but ridiculously expensive. read more

Sunrise Restaurant - Rare beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Pho- nomenal food! Great vibes and prices! Fast and friendly service!! Highly recommend!

My go-to pho spot. The large is two meals worth for me. The vibes are jeans and a t shirt to dine-in or grab take out. The boba smoothie can take a bit if it's busy but worth the wait for the creamy goodness. read more

The pho and drinks here are great! However, for the small amount of food you get, it's quite expensive. They have regular and large sized pho bowls, but they seem to have the same amount of meat and noodles; the only difference is the amount of broth read more

The service was good and it wasn't busy, but the portions seemed small and very expensive for Thai food- the summer rolls are now eight dollars. The vegetable lo mein was $17. The cold noodles with 5 smaller sized shrimp was 16.50. $52 with tax and tip ( no drinks) and nothing left to take away. Sadly- we won't go back. Kind of expensive for lunch for 2. read more

We love coming here after work. It's one of our fave spots for pho in the area. The banh mi and nime chow are both really good as well. My husband loves their Vietnamese coffee. Service is always great. read more

We had a delicious dinner here! I had the tofu vegetable with beef broth pho and my bf got what he says was the round steak pho. We also got spicy tofu vegetable stir fry which was a surprise stand out. I think that's the best tofu stir fry I've ever had! The tofu was perfectly crisp, there were an assortment of vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, string beans, carrots), and the sauce was so flavorful, in that sweet spicy way that keeps you coming back for more. We were warned that the Thai coffee was very strong, so my bf didn't get that, although he was tempted to. I noticed that they had a good selection of boba tea flavors- including red bean, taro, and avocado- which sounded good as well. We'll have to try some drinks next time. read more

Sunrise Restaurant - combination beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I ordered a large Pho Combo. The Pho tastes okay . Sad part was they are stingy on the veggie as you see on the picture . I have to ask for more . Then there was no jalapeño. What's Kind of Pho without Jalapeño ? The server told me that they only have chili paste. I also ordered the grill lemongrass chicken to go . The chicken was tender but no lemongrass on the chicken or the aroma of it . I was kinda disappointed. Again , very stingy with the veggie . Customer services were bad . They only come take your order and bring out your food. Then disappear in the back . I was the only one in the restaurant at the time . Had to wait for the server to appear again to ask for anything . I would not recommend this place or would come back . read more

The food was delicious! We had a great pho place at our old home and we were so happy to find one here after we moved to the area. This place is small, but the staff were very friendly and the food was great. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Been going for a while now, I'm originally from California where pho places are left and right. Didn't expect I'd find this here in Rhode Island where variety of cuisines and authenticity of food is hard to find! This is the place to go :D The owners/staff are really friendly and kind! The drinks are great too. Recommend Taro and Thai Tea! read more

Food was ultra fresh. I got two spring rolls and they were phenomenal and a great value. it is a family restaurant that is very well run. The service was attentive recommend. read more

We love this place. It's simple fresh Vietnamese Food. We have only had the pho, summer rolls, and the fresh Boba fruit smoothies. Pho has a really great broth and nice amount of meat. While not the absolute best I have tasted its still really great. And considering the lack of competition in the area it's still a solid 5 stars. The pineapple smoothie is absolutely awesome. They use real fresh fruit and the it tastes great. If they open one of these stands near the beach they will be gazillionaires. Keep up the good work Sunrise. Oh they close on Sundays. Which is a bummer when you really crave some Pho. But kudos to the owners for taking some time off to spend at church and with family. read more

Sunrise is my go to place for great pho and other Vietnamese cuisine. Their nime chow is the best, as is their vermicelli. I can never turn down their pho though. I always get the b8 loaded with every kind of goodness imaginable! They have a fair amount of tables for being in such a limited space. They tend to draw a crowd around lunchtime, so make sure you have time to spend here or call ahead for takeout. The best part about Sunrise is that they are consistent. How your food tastes today will be how it tastes the next time! read more

Great little Vietnamese spot in Middletown. Very good food and service is excellent! Been married to. Vietnamese lady for 25 years, and I know good Vietnamese food. Trust me, this place is a gem. read more

Very good quality Vietnamese cuisine, in a non-descript small strip, off a Main Street. Dining atmosphere is on plain side though clean. Pricing is a little on high side. Enjoyed bun, pho, Spring rolls, egg rolls, chicken noodle soup (good!). Staffing is friendly but a little light so took awhile to order and get food. However, a great meal to have for a break from fried seafood. read more

Best pho! My husband has occasional weekends at the Navy war college in Newport, my kids love this place!

This is a solid Vietnamese restaurant! Having lived in Houston for many years that is one of the centers of Vietnamese settlements in the US, one gets to find the best. And Sunrise would be in that category. It is a bit hard to notice as it sits back off W Main in a small strip mall behind the Firestone store. Good news - plenty of parking. The service was very efficient and friendly. They have a HUGE menu from appetizers to pho to fried to vermicelli. We split the summer rolls (2 for $7) which were well packed with shrimp and pork. Entrees were a pho and vermicelli. Both were tasty and good sized portions. Add some bubble teas and a tip and damages were $50. RECOMMENDED, Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Value 4/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Noise 3/5 (about 4 other tables of diners) Decor 3/5 read more

I know I'm in the majority in the US of people who want soup when they're sick. Particularly chicken soup seems to be engrained in us from an early age as a go-to sickness remedy. I for one opt for pho or Mexican chicken tortilla soup, and now that I'm in RI , this is where I go for my pho fix. The restaurant is conveniently located just off West main road near one of the seemingly zillion Dunkin donuts. Parking can be a pain when the other businesses are packed, but 50/50 chance you can find parking pretty easy. The interior looks nice, like many of the Vietnamese restaurants I've been to across the Nation. The staff are warm and friendly, and service is super prompt. I usually opt for the pho ga or chicken pho, and hubby usually gets fried rice or soup. I've also had their spring rolls which are solid. I've tried to make pho at home and despite my many investigations into it, I just can never get the flavor quite right. I told this to the owner and she giggled at me and said it's a secret and just to let her do the work. Sound advice, and some I will continue to follow and come here for my pho needs. read more

Have eaten pho here many times since my last review and have steered clear of the calamari. Pho is tasty and consistently good! They customize the soup to my liking and it's my go to when I'm feeling under the weather. I'm glad I gave this restaurant another chance!!!!!! read more

Tried Sunrise again. I'm glad they're still around, but the issues remain the same. While the dishes are tasty, they really skimp on all proteins. Hardly any meat in the pho, and 2 takeout dishes (caramel pork and shrimp vermicelli) were so small they could easily be combined into a single smallish entree. read more

You guys...I haven't lived in Newport for a few years now, but I still think about this place. It was go-to for me while there. The food was delicious. Dishes I'd get: spring rolls, crispy egg rolls (love the texture), the marinated pork rice dish (such good flavors), clay pot pork (wish it was bigger, but still delicious) Definitely try it at least once while you're in the area read more

This stuffed to go box of Vietnamese deliciousness had me addicted and wanting more and more with every bite * This is my second time getting takeout from Sunrise Vietnamese Restaurant in Middletown, RI and I was exceedingly impressed * For the price of $10.95 I had their Grilled marinated Pork over a bed of Vermicelli Rice noodles served with sliced cucumber, carrots, lettuce, their signature Sweet & Sour sauce, garnished with scallions and crushed peanuts * This pork is a MUST try as it absolutely and surprisingly tastes like marinaded pieces of Steak tips - I was truly baffled yet in awe of the flavor * When I say that it's difficult to find authentic tasting Asian food of any kind on Aquidneck Island I truly mean that... Sunrise is one of the few exceptions that deserve to shine read more

Tired of industrial strength standardized Chinese restaurants? Try this place. Awesome food. Does not look like much outside, but the food is fantastic. I brought my family that lives in CA here to try it, and they said it was the equal of west coast Vietnamese. I have never been disappointed here. read more

This food is fresh, hot and delicious. I'm in town for a couple nights and will go back tomorrow to try other dishes. Excellent!

Ordered takeout from Sunrise for dinner tonight, after having consecutive American meals upon our arrival in Rhode Island. (We can't go too long without Vietnamese food lol.) I found Sunrise on Yelp and knew we had to try it out, given the photos of pork vermicelli, banh mi and pho all looked authentic. Those entrees were exactly what we ordered (+ 2 iced Vietnamese coffees) and it was the right decision! The restaurant did not disappoint and the food were delicious (even better than some Viet joints in NYC frankly...). We over-ordered because everything sounded so good, but all entrees were consumed! A must-try here in Newport, RI! read more

We came here on a week day early afternoon and lot of places were closed. We were craving pho since it was cold, we're used to 80 degree weather. Relieved to find this place open and the pho was yummy. I got beef pho with tofu and veggies with Vietnamese iced coffee and spring rolls. My bf got the chicken soup? He loved it. Bathroom was clean and service was great. Quick and nice is all I need. read more

**update 12:02 12/4/19** AND I just found a sharp metal shaving in my soup! Reporting them asap, don't go here.** So, I've eaten in here and was happy with the food, and this is the first time I've ordered to go. Needless to say, I have been woefully disappointed with the miniscule portions, lack of ANY sauces (no hoisin, siracha, or anything) and the price! This sad lot is supposed to be a large noodle soup?!? I've been fortunate to live, work and travel all over and this is just sad and flavorless. Do yourself a favor and get pho elsewhere if you can. read more

Decent Vietnamese, meaning the Best you can get on the south coast, Bristol/Newport County.

too overpriced and you barley get anything with the noodles. My whole family are still hungry and we are never coming back
