    Perfectly fried wontons; crispy outside, never greasy & generous filling.

    Many dine-in & take out orders throughout the years. Always greeted with a genuine welcome in, smiles & conversation while you wait for your order. Last night's choice, fried wonton & wonton soup to go. Made to perfection & even in take out containers, beautifully presented; the aroma filled with spices & broth perfection!

    I got the Crispy Squid with a side of Fried Rice. It was superb! Large portion -- it was enough for two. A delicious and filling meal as usual. Friendly service. Chill atmosphere.

    Viet Rice has been a staple in my life for over 20 years. The food has never steered me wrong and the choices are always wonderful. The most recent visit we came in for Pho with the best broth. Service is always impeccable with a casual atmosphere. I don't come here as often as I would like to but never regret a choice to get food from here.

    In the mood for pho. Our 1st choices (for convenience) were closed in between lunch and dinner. So we stopped here. Ok so glad we did. It's a smallish place no one here - perfect. Decor definitely a Vietnamese flavor. Drinks to start - including the Thai Tea. It was bland and watery, not the nice creamy style we're accustomed to. The fried wontons were better, tasty - not over fried. For entrees we got the Spicy Lemongrass with beef and a Combination Curry - chicken, beef & shrimp. Both with medium heat. The lemongrass was nicely seasoned - not overly hot and beef was tender. The combination was flavorful. Shrimp firm & crisp, beef and chicken was tender. The heat was just about right. Great meal & easy on the wallet. This place joins our growing go to list

    Beef pho with well done steak ‍

    This place has good pho! I believe the best pho in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. The flavor is rich, the veggies are fresh. The restaurant is clean, and the waitress is very polite and friendly. The shrimp spring rolls are also very delish. I always get them when i come here. The avocado shake is pretty good too. Definitely recommend, this place is a hidden gem!

    Vegan clay pot. Rice underneath.

    This place has the best vegan clay pot! (It's not listed as vegan on the menu but they easily customize it to be vegan by adding tofu and omitting the fish sauce.) I didn't even know what a clay pot was but my dad recommended it and now I'm obsessed. It's fried rice topped with veggies but way better than just regular fried rice. It's filling but feels light and healthy like a home cooked meal. It's the only thing I've ever gotten from here so that's all I can speak on but it's bomb. My husband and I come here often for it. The staff have always been very kind and the food always comes out fast!

    I love coming here! And hey, they have gluten-free soy sauce! I LOVE their footballs! Pho good too!

    If anyone reads my evaluations it's easy to see that I love Pho. I tried Viet Rice today and ordered the Chicken noodle soup (Pho). I added Chicken at an additional cost. I loved their Chicken broth, it was salty and sweet at the same time. The Chicken that was added was somewhat less than I expected, but it was flavorful and added to the overall dish. A plate of Cilantro, been sprouts, lime and jalapeno was provided as a garnish. I sometimes hold off putting the bean sprouts into the broth because they are cold and tend to reduce the broths temperature. The noodles I chose were rice, but other options are available. I mostly order Beef with Brisket and love the Star Anise flavor. After completing my meal I was very satisfied and I do recommend the Chicken Noodle soup.

    Dropped in on a Tuesday, 9/10/19, for lunch with a buddy from work. He commented that he would blame me if he got sick. He worried because Viet Rice sits sandwiched in a strip mall, south of Smiths on 528. I told him not to worry, that Viet Rice had high Yelp ratings. He had to trust in the Yelpers. The dining room looked extremely clean and the waitress quickly wrote down our order. I order the #22 Crispy Egg Noodles topped with a meat combination (chicken, shrimp, pork, beef) for $13.99. These egg noodles were topped with broccoli, snow peas, bamboo shoots, onions, and carrots. I enjoyed the combination of crispy noodles, cooked noodles, delicious meats and the snappy vegetables. The chef came out and we congratulated him on some amazing dishes. All of the photos of the different dishes looked quite tasty (see attached photo). For both dishes, I paid a total of $27.44. When we left, my buddy said we had found a great hole-in-the-wall and said he would be back. I completely agreed.

    Okay, so food at a gas station and I'm not sure how you feel about that statement. But, this is NOT…read moreyour regular gas station cuisine. Fresh Bahn mi's, pho, boba slushees, chicken and the best fried cream cheese wontons in town are all on the menu. They are cost efficient, friendly and have fresh produce. They get extremely busy during lunch so I suggest calling in to place your order beforehand. Also, check out the fridge near the kitchen for some hidden goodies such as sugar cane, fresh coconuts and more! You really can't go wrong here, please push past any previous feelings you may have about gas station food- I know you have been burned by Allsup's burritos before, but trust me you won't be disappointed.

    I know there's a certain stigma with gas stations and gas station food, but T&T is really making me…read morerethink my prejudice. I heard they got a popular review and had to try it for myself, it helped it was Vietnamese cuisine at least with me anyways in taking that initial leap, but it was well worth it. I ordered their rice noodle bowl with chicken and it didn't disappoint, loads of fresh as well as pickled veggies, heaps of noodles and a generous portion of grilled chicken. Their wings were amazing! They honestly would hold their own against any restaurant that only does wings! They were sweet and salty Vietnamese flavor with just a little heat, I will say they cheated me in one wing using the wing tip does not count! Other than that take it for what it is a convenience store serving in to go boxes. But it's super fresh and flavorful which is already ahead of most fast food! the price is right, and it's just perfect for a local pickup when you don't want feel like cooking. I have yet to try the pho but am looking forward to it, I'd making it a normal stop honestly. Also nice to point out they have a small Vietnamese market inside as well, so if you need a local place to pick up fresh produce such as Thai basil, cilantro, chilies they have a decent selection for the size of their store. They also have a number of cut names e cooking products such as fish sauce and condiments! Try it out I promise there's nothing to be scared of, they're definitely breaking the mold our help of course.

    Saturday. March 1, 2025. Dinner…read more Upon entering, my wife and I were told this restaurant has existed for 10 years. It is on Montgomery by Dirty Bourbon saloon and Pelicans. The walls are painted green, have Vietnamese artwork and the interior is super relaxing. The lighting is dim and romantic and the place is super clean. We ordered the fried dumpling appetizer. This came with 6 dumplings and a dipping sauce for $7. The dumplings seemed to be pork and were tender inside. I used some sriracha sauce as the provided sauce tasted bland. To drink, 2 avocado shakes for $11.98. This was the best avocado shake I've ever had. Not too sweet and the right consistency, not too thick or too thin. For the entrée, I had #34, crispy egg noodle with seafood stir fry for $15.25. The noodles were mostly crispy. Those under the sauce turned soggy pretty quick. My fault, I should have asked for no zucchini. Unfortunately this was the most abundant part of the dish and I had to remove about 20 pieces of zucchini. Other than that, the seafood mix had imitation crab, shrimp, squid, and what appeared to be scallops. Vegetables, other than zucchini, included: baby corn, broccoli, carrots and cabbage. I liked the crispy noodles and the seafood tasted pretty good. I would have give five stars but the zucchini really didn't impress, nor did some of the soggy noodles.
