    Great portions, deep flavor, fresh ingredients. I noticed almost every table was full and also people sitting in the high top area. At that point, I figured I found a good spot. The cashier was friendly, took my order, and within a few minutes the chef was throwing the ingredients in the wok. I always like the open kitchen concept and the place was very clean.

    We came to the plaza for another business and decided to have a quick dinner at The Pho Bar for convenience. I had only visited once years ago for a boba tea, so this was my first time dining in. I have to say these were some of the most average dishes I've had in a while. Crab Rangoons were too crispy and had really no cream cheese in them, and while I ordered the pad see ew, they gave me yellow noodles instead. The food definitely didn't feel authentic. I don't see myself returning.

    This place was very hospitable and friendly. You are able to make some of the dishes on the menu your own which is pretty neat. The facility is also clean. The food was also very good.

    Rice bowl with shrimp and drunken noodles

    Wanting something different from my usual lunchtime fare, I stopped by the Pho Bar, just about twelve P.M., on Saturday. Surprisingly, there was only one other customer, seated with food in front of him, seemingly more interested in his phone than eating. As I would expect, my order was immediately taken by one of the quite friendly, and as it turned out, helpful, employees. Having reviewed the menu on line, I had already settled on the fried rice bowl. With shrimp as an option, that was my choice of protein; but admittedly, When it came to the noodles, I found myself reliant on the aforementioned employee; who cheerfully recommended the drunken noodles. So, drunken noodles it was. Within less than ten minutes, I had my food. In fact, it took longer for the food to cool down to a palatable temperature than it did to be served. But, it was worth the wait. The first bite revealed a savory, tangy flavor, that did not overwhelm the other ingredients. The sweet, crisp, red bell pepper slice made itself known immediately, followed by the crunch of fresh green beans and carrots. The noodles themselves were pleasantly wide, almost reminiscent of lasagna noodles. At just over fifteen bucks, before tip, all in all, this made for a great meal, at a fair price. One last thing; I did notice a sign stating that bubble tea was no longer being offered. Not that I wanted bubble tea; but, not having the option made me think what a great addition to the meal, it might have been

    Stopped in for lunch recently while in the area. There are a few tables to dine in but all were occupied, so I sat at the counter. I ordered crispy egg rolls and chicken drunken noodles. Service was attentive and friendly. I like the open kitchen set up and the restaurant was extremely clean. My food came out promptly and it was delicious. I have been spoiled by a place I love in Hartford and restaurants closer to me just haven't been able to hit the same taste. However, the drunken noodles here were perfect. Spicy, perfectly cooked noodles and ample veggies. I'll definitely be ordering from here more often.

    Pho beef combo

    TOTALLY DELICIOUS!!! Nice, clean, opened atmosphere with very friendly staff. We had the shrimp summer rolls which were fresh and quickly gone. I had the combo beef pho and it was the best pho I have had and I have had a lot of pho. My friend had the wonton and shrimp pad Thai and that too was bursting with flavor. Definitely worth a stop in for lunch, dinner or a snack.

    This feels like a traditional Asian lunch spot. I love the open kitchen and the bar seating. Their menu is to the point and allows for customization for the main dishes which was nice to see. I always love trying new combos of ingredients and I appreciate the menu layout! The food was amazing! The eggrolls had the perfect crunch. The dumplings were fried to perfection. The pork drunken noodles were made with medium spice and it was one of the tastier drunken noodle dishes I have ever tasted. The phoresh bowl was made with brisket and beef broth- normally, these soups are salty, but this one wasn't which I loved! The service here was quick and friendly. I expected nothing less :) wish more places like this were near my town! Such a great, quick bite that'll leave you with leftovers to prolong the experience

    All the food shown tastes amazing!! Large portions. I did a take out order because they were closing in 20 minutes online. The restaurant inside was very clean. The decor was modern and I love the photo wall.

    We visited this place last year and finally made it back to check out the food. We wondered why we waited so long to return after enjoying our first bites! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an open kitchen concept and instagram worthy neon light back drop. Staff are super friendly and helped answer any questions we had. We ordered a lot of fried appetizers and devoured them as quickly as they came out. Shrimp in a blanket is my all time favorite and highly recommend! Everything came out quickly, hot and fresh. The Pho are build your own and you can choose your broth, proteins along with any type of noodle you are fancying. Who would have known Berlin had such great Vietnamese food and bubble teas?! Will definitely return the next time we are in the area and will not wait another year, that's for sure!

I didn't get a ton of aroma or flavor from the typical spices, but it was still delicious and hit the spot. My husband had Thai Lo Mein with tofu and that was great as well. Service was courteous and fast. A great meal as always!

This visit we ordered chicken satay as an appetizer. It came out piping hot, super juicy, and flavorful! Their marinade is just sooo delicious it barely needs any extra sauce. I decided to get Pad Thai for a change because I'm usually a curry or stirfry girlie. It was an enormous portion of delicious noodles! I thought the sweet, salty, sour flavors were really well balanced. My husband had the Veggie Delight stir fry with chicken. It was a perfect simple stirfry with a delicate but flavorful sauce and tons of tender crisp vegetables. Our waitress was super sweet and it's a great casual atmosphere. They're also BYOB and they're more than happy to bring a glass for your beverage. I look forward to our next meal!

    Food was mediocre, service was good, and the ambiance was clean…read more Ordered the veggie rolls, veggie tom yum with coconut milk, pad thai with tofu (no egg), and the eggplant stir fry. The veggie rolls were unremarkable (as most are) but the peanut sauce that came with them was quite tasty. The portion size of the pad thai noodles was enormous. The tofu was well flavoured and moist. The noodles themselves were a bit bland and needed more of a kick (something that one could accomplish with the Sriracha on the table). The eggplant dish was full of veggies, which I appreciated greatly, but was overly oily and underflavored. The rice that came with the stir fry was perfectly cooked. The ambiance was lovely, replete with "lush" vegetation and some bamboo ornaments. The restroom was also clean and well-maintained, sadly uncommon in this part of New England. Service was good. The waitress was pleasant and the food came out quite quickly. Overall, it is highly unlikely that I will return, because there are certainly better restaurants if one were to travel a bit further to Middletown. This is however a good option in the Rocky Hill area.
