Once inside, it's cozy, classy and impressively clean to the eye! Service was excellent - water glasses were kept full at all times. I ordered Pad Thai with crispy chicken and an order of fresh rolls. The fresh roll sauce was different from any I've ever had. Sort of a more peanut hoisin-like feel as opposed to the lighter peanut dressing. I loved it. The server asked how spicy we wanted our dishes, using a level of 1-5. Most said 2 but I went for 4 because no place ever makes it with enough of a kick when I ask for spicy. Well my 4 knocked my socks off. Only later did we find out that both servers can't even eat at a level 4!! That would have been grrrrreat to know ahead of time! Hahaaaa but it was delicious and I'd probably be silly enough to say "4" again! Prices were on par with other good Thai restaurants. We will definitely be back!

There are regulars who come in, and the owners are so kind giving suggestions to some authentic food items. I loved the pho, and appetizers of Bo Tai Chanh which is my favorite!

We recently visited Sakuratani in Bristol for the first time and came away very impressed. This…read morefamily-run restaurant has only been open about a year, but it already feels like an established part of the local dining scene. A nice space. We began with spring rolls (VERY good - chicken and shrimp) and sake, and the sake program deserves special mention. We selected a very enjoyable $38 bottle and noticed several other bottles at lower price points, along with a wide selection of canned sake--many around $11. Some diners may balk at paying that much for a can, but they will happily pay more for a mediocre glass of wine at half the volume. The value here is actually quite good, especially for those looking to explore sake beyond the ordinary. Our entrées--the ramen and chicken katsu--were excellent. The ramen featured a rich, deeply satisfying broth, while the chicken katsu was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. If you want a "hotter " ramen - the have an add on for a buck. Service was warm and attentive, reflecting the pride that often comes with a family-owned business. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, allowing the quality of the food to take center stage. Bristol is fortunate to have Sakuratani. Strong Japanese dining options can be hard to find outside larger cities, and for a restaurant only a year old, they seem to be doing many things right. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu--and their sake offerings. Highly recommended.

Another flavorful lunch at Sakuratani. Tried the vegetable ramen noodle and was very good…read more Vegetable broth was flavorful and came with vegetable flavored noodles. Always try to stop by if I'm in Bristol or passing through. Worth a stop if you like ramen noodles, though my favorite is the tonkotsu or the miso pork ramen. Haven't tried any of the other dishes or appetizers but hopefully the next time. Service is good and nice calming atmosphere.

Wow! Our server was so friendly and helpful - he gave me a thorough rundown of everything on the…read moremenu that was vegetarian. We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.

There is a gender neutral restroom and plenty of parking. My daughter and I dined in and ordered a whole bunch of stuff. I will say though that the lemon iced tea i ordered was veryy sour, they put a whole sliced lime in it, so be prepared for that one! The prices here are very affordable for nowadays, not overly priced. I will definitely come back here and try more on the menu. The bun sandwiches look very good, probably my next hit! The staff is very kind and they give you an aesthetic looking water pitcher for your table.

We…read moreusually wait 10 minutes before we get water and then another 15-20 minutes to get asked what we want. We wait about 30 minutes to get our food (which is fine). Then they don't ever come back to check on you. If you want a refill, you have to wave them down. If you ask for anything additional (fork, napkins, etc) you have to wait another 15 minutes. This is not a big restaurant and is never full for service to be so bad. We ordered 4 drinks online and waited 45 minutes for them. Luckily it wasn't me inside waiting.

Unfortunately I had a pretty negative experience with Pho Saigon and Bar. I ordered vermicelli noodles with beef ribs. The meat was really scary, bright orange, & borderline inedible. I took one or two bites of it & was astonished at how chewy it was. Like, impossible to break down with my teeth chewy. The rest of the dish was fine but very plain. I ate my vermicelli noodles with peanut sauce & called it a day. There was also no shrimp (despite the description clearly stating chicken AND shrimp) in my fresh rolls. I wonder if they ran out. I would definitely try this place again for pho IN PERSON but I'm certainly not going to order delivery again.

We tried the general chicken, and it was nice and spicy, but not too crazy. The crab Rangoon was some of the best I've ever had. We also had the udon noodles, and they were top-notch. The bao were more like steamed dumplings. I tried to ask the waitress about it, but we weren't able to communicate clearly. If you're ordering it thinking you're going to get fluffy bao, you will be disappointed. Otherwise, as dumplings, they were pretty good. There's lots of seating and acute area for watching Thayer Street by the window. Overall, I'm excited to come back for more.

The noodles were good and I enjoyed the crab rangoons but the meat I received with my noodles was nothing but fatty. They also put a fishy sauce in my bag that leaked and it reeked.
