Food-Excellent (5). A pleasant surprise. We are experienced Vietnamese diners so we simply compared our experience with Viet Taste. We don't expect exactly the same dishes and were not disappointed in freshness, quantity, and uniqueness. Viet Taste has its own, I believe, interpretation of some mainline traditional dishes and we found them delicious and interesting. Midweek lunch for two that included two appetizers and two main dishes with water to drink cost about $50. There was enough left over for another meal. Service - Good (3). Pleasant and effective. Timing on service was unpredictable. Appetizers served after mains for example. Diners who arrived long after us were served before us. Yes, it may be that dishes are delivered when ready, but there was no messaging about delays. Ambiance - (1) needs work. Overgrown plants, unkempt sidewalk in front, and a grimy restroom with no paper towels were signs that some maintenance was needed. The entire space has the potential to offer a much better experience given size and furnishings. See photo of bathroom light switch plate. Next time we may opt for takeout. Overall good and interesting food unique for Salisbury. I hope they upgrade the environment and successfully remain in business. read more

Stopped by for lunch . I was just going to grab some pho and take it with me. I decided to eat there instead. I ordered the meatball pho . It was good and came with some basil and shoots. The service was friendly. The biggest negative is how filthy the restaurant is. As I looked around it got nastier and nastier. Don't touch the walls and don't dare touch the picture frames on the walls. I'm kind of sorry I ate inside. I did order chicken pad Thai and fried wontons to go. I can't complain about the food but would not want to look around the kitchen if it looks like the front of the house. read more

Nice spot for Vietnamese cuisine locally. Not many choices in the area for this cuisine, and they do it well. Pho broth is decent and Saigon crepes are good. Atmosphere is basic, but that is not uncommon for Salisbury as I'm discovering. read more

Food is decent but after a recent visit with just two of us we were shocked to see that added 18% gratuity on the bill. Never said anything at all. We did tip in addition to it because we didn't catch it till after the fact. I hope it was worth it to them because we won't be back read more

The food was 10/10 not one bad thing. The calamari and skewers were love and the pork steak was phenomenal. Service was great too!

Place is pretty outdated. You can always tell how clean a restaurant is by the condiments on the table. Condiments don't look like they've been cleaned in weeks so didn't even touch it. Food was decent considering they were only Vietnamese place around. Not the best Vietnamese food I've had, but better than nothing. read more

Needs to be cleaned. Very dirty. Tea tasted like perfume. Curtains hiding cobweb plants and filthy window. I am lucky I did not get sick but didn't feel very well rest of the night. read more

I'm not sure why this place isn't more popular. They have great Viet dishes and the staff is great.

Only Vietnamese restaurant in Salisbury and thankfully it's good. Their Pho is very good and the Lemongrass dishes are good as well. The spring roll and shrimp skewer appetizers are very tasty. I would give 5 stars, but they need to improve their timing. Usually, there is only one person serving so you have to be willing to wait if you dine in. They do the best they can and I understand that there is a shortage of workers. If they hire a few servers and clean the place up a bit, they could go from good to great! Staff they do have are friendly, but just need more workers. read more

Whenever I'm home with time to spare, I go here. This was my first introduction to a deeper dive into Asian cuisine. It's a small spot with basic amenities but it's solid food for Salisbury. Service is pleasant and attentive. Check it out. read more

The level of hesitance as I approached a viet restaurant in Salisbury was no joke - BUT I was pleasantly surprised. I got the banh xeo which I honestly thought was going to turn out terrible but it was good! Not super crunchy but definitely still enough crunch and flavor for me to keep coming back for the banh xeo alone. It's served with Vietnamese basil and lettuce and you dip it into the fish sauce (which was also good). The pho was not too shabby either, came out piping hot as it should . I read some reviews about this place not being clean - while it's not spotless and a little old, it's FINE! The meaner the staff, the "dirtier" the restaurant - the yummier read more

The food is very good! The atmosphere is a little dated but all the best pho places usually are. I would say it's some of the best pho/viet food in Maryland, however, you can never get it! The hours posted both online and on their door are incorrect. They stop answering the phone at what feels like 6 PM, and the other week I went in at 7 PM to grab take out on a night where the sign said "closes at 8:30" and they told me they were closed. If you can somehow win the lottery that is finding them during impossible open hours the food is sensational. Seems like anytime you would want pho they are closed. read more

Great food, friendly folks. Doing this review actually made me want to eat there tonight

The place is immaculate, the food was yummy and for Pho? The best around . Going again today

Was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant while in OC. Found this place and I definitely will be back. Everyone was really friendly and even the owner came out to make sure we was good. Place was very clean. Very reasonable prices. I ordered a few things and everything is great. I recommend this restaurant for authentic Vietnamese food. read more

Owner works 7 days a week. All home made to order Vietnamese food. Spring rolls. Perfect rice. read more

Slow service, mediocre food. Even if you really want Vietnamese food I would avoid this place. Also has a mandatory 15% tip.

If you are ever headed to Ocean City or its surrounding beaches. YOU MUST STOP here. I always swing by on the way to the beach to grab a quick bite. You will not find a better vietnamese restaurant in the area. It has such a huge selection to choose from. I have yet to be disappointed in anything I've tried. Fast friendly service. Spacious seating area. Delicious food. What more can you ask for? read more

I liked the food here but service was inconsistent and a little rude. I came here with a large group, and we called ahead to make a reservation. When we arrived, it's a seat yourself ordeal, but all of the tables had dirty dishes and trash on them. We approached the waiter, who was flustered, said they were really busy (there were like two other customers...), and told us to come back in an hour because for such a large group without a reservation, they couldn't accommodate us at that time. Note that it was also an off hour (after 2pm). *stares blankly* We. Did. Make. A. Reservation. Once we cleared that up, the waiter told us it would take him 30 minutes to clear the tables, and to come back later. *stares blankly* Fortunately, the owner came out, said she was expecting us, and started clearing the tables right away. Then the grumpy waiter came back to take our orders. I think he was having a bad day. We asked if we could do separate checks, and at first he said no - but he could do it in groups. But then we mentioned the Yelp deal, and he changed his mind and told us that ringing us up individually would be easier for him. (There's a $20 minimum for the Yelp check-in deal, so individually you really can't get the discount - this was made clear when we went to pay.) After we ordered and when he was bringing out the food, he was nicer, but towards the end of the meal, he got grumpy again. I ordered the Grilled Pork which came with a scoop of rice and some veggies (cucumbers and tomatoes, which are technically fruit). The pork was flavorful, but the portions were small. For $10, it's not a good value. There seemed to be some issues in the kitchen, because our table had missing orders. A few dishes weren't brought out until most of us were already done eating. The waiter's explanation: "Sometimes the chef doesn't feel like cooking the orders..." *stares blankly* For those that ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee (which was super sweet and nobody in my group liked it), the tray of drinks sat on the counter for a long time because the staff got distracted. After waiting and waiting for them to remember, someone from our group finally got up, went to the counter and grabbed the tray of drinks for self-service. Again, maybe the waiter and kitchen staff were just having an off day. But based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place for large groups. This might be one of the few Vietnamese offerings in Salisbury, hence it's average 4-star rating, but in DC, there's better value and better service. Some may even say better food. read more

Viet Taste - Grilled pork (D3) - Vietnamese Near Me - Salisbury, Maryland

I knew that they have a reputation for under estimating order times, so I gave them an extra 20 minutes beyond what they promised. But they still took twice what they promised. When I got home, my food was missing. I called and the person who took my call told me I hadn't ordered the missing item. I told her how frustrating our experience had been, but she hung up on me. Only giving 2 stars because the food was decent. But not worth the headache. read more

Found this place by accident and walked into a good size restaurant. Looked like an older couple running it and acting as wait staff as well. Took about 10 minutes before the lady brought over menus and took orders of drinks. Both of them are very friendly, but they need to hire someone to help with waiting. The food was decent, had salty fish, lotus roots and shrimp salad, vermicelli grilled pork dish, and spicy beef noodle soup. They can do some good cleaning of the tables and condiment containers. Overall, decent place, will visit again someday. read more

We found this restaurant on our last overnight stay in Salisbury. The food was delicious last time. We were overnighting in Salisbury again and jumped at the opportunity to dine here this stopover. The food was as delicious this time as it was our first time around! The menu is extensive. The service was courteous and prompt. Give this eatery a try! read more

The restaurant was nice, the table booth that we sat in was dated but clean There was just 1 person name Rick that ran the entire from section, there was a total of 3 tables with guests including ours. It took Rick 20 minutes to take our drink order and then another 20 minutes to come back around for our food order We order 2 Vietnamese ice coffee, 1 large beef pho, shaking beef salad and Korean short rib The food took exactly 1 hour to get to us, by this time I was ready to go. We came here because Vietnamese food is usually fast. The coffee was good, the beef salad was chewy and the short rib had a sour after taste. The pho broth was pretty good I don't think I will be returning, the service is terrible. If he was behind he should have at least acknowledged it and said something read more

The best Pho in Salisbury. Speedy and polite service and true Vietnamese vibe. I will be back! read more

I realize that COVID is jamming people up so I will keep that in mind. But if you are going to offer dine in you should be staffed accordingly. So we were seated at 6:45pm. Other than being given a menu, we were then ignored for 20 minutes. We were 1 of only three tables in the whole restaurant. After that our order was taken. 15 minutes later I got my food but my Son did not. Another 10 minutes later he got his food. Others have praised the Pho here, but mine tasted heavily of lemongrass to the point where drowning it in Siracha was best option . My son got the Ginger chicken which tasted like a burnt frying pan and a metric ton of ginger! Just to give an idea of how bad it was , I had to stop and get my son Subway after feeling so guilty for subjecting him this swill. read more

Do not order your food via GubHub from this restaurant. HORRIBLE PLACE. RUDE AF PEOPLE. They screwed up orders twice. First time I gave benefit of doubt. Second time was atrocious. GrubHub is no good with refund. 1st time: I ordered 4 units of vegetarian curry tofu. Received the orders with meat. 2nd time: Ordered 4 units of vegetarian vurry tofu again. Received only one. GrubHub driver said to call the restaurant. Called the restaurant and the man who took the call argued the driver only showed one order. My grubhub clearly says 4 units. I paid that much money. And GrubHub only refunds half the charge. They did nlt even refund the first order bungle up. Write off your money if you ordered from Viet Taste theough GrubHub. Both businesses are run by imbecikes. You can kiss your money goodbye and still go starve yourself. read more

Great food and surprisingly authentic for being in Salisbury! Definitely one of my go to places for takeout now

The pho is really good, I had P1 and the broth and meat were delicious. The restaurant looks a little dated and there were a lot of flies inside but I would come again for the P1. Great place to stop by if you're craving pho! read more

Wondering if it Viet Taste is under new management. The place used to be a favorite when I was in Sby, but now it's bland, greasy, and expensive. The peanut sauce was rancid. The shrimp had absolutely no shrimp taste. The summer rolls were just noodles, lettuce and shrimp...totally tasteless. Old noodles were mixed in with the fresh ones in the Pad Thai. So sad read more

I stop by here maybe to order to go. I kinda hesitant to come in but I make it to the entrance goin to the front checkout with my mask on . I ask for the menu and wondering what the smell inside.I almost throw out and left.sorry I ain't coming back! read more

Wanted 2 spring rolls. Got 4 tiny ones that cost me 10 bucks and they were dry and over done. Owner made 2 new ones and kept the other two that were over done with them. I said no he got passed and told the girl to give me my money back. Told him I would never return and ge said good. Since he took over food has gotten more expensive and not that great either. Found another place cheaper and better atmosphere read more

Let me start off by saying, it's not even that clean in here. I sat in a booth and there were spiderwebs and dust all over the window. Not only that, but someone walked in, who I assumed worked there as he greeting the waitress casually, was sitting in a different booth with his shoes off just on his phone for a good while. My boyfriend and I are visiting the area and I were feeling peckish, and we thought why not? We had ordered rocket shrimp, crispy egg noodles, and a rice vermicelli noodle dish. The rocket shrimp were decent enough and came with a sweet/sour and spicy sauce that comes in a jar. The crispy noodles had came out super quick and tasted ok, but the odd thing was the sauce on the crispy noodles was a weird brown color. Normally when I get this dish anywhere else, the sauce is an opaque color. My boyfriend didn't really like it much, and it is definitely a dish to be shared. I had gotten the rice noodles, it came out rather late compared to my boyfriends dish. The grilled shrimp and beef had great taste, the pork was alright, the picked veggies tasted like a quick pickle and didn't have much flavor, and the fish sauce it came with barely had flavor. It had a touch of flavor but some spice. We also ordered the Thai tea, which also lacked flavor. I don't think I'm coming back, like ever. read more

The spicy beef noodle soupp was good but thE pieces of beef were quite chewy. The flavOr of the broth was amazing. So print roll and summer roll were delicious. The veg gluten stir fry dish (V9) waS awesome. The mixed grill vermicelli was excellent. The Vietnamese iced coffee was delicious but took too long to make. read more

See this place for what it is and you won't be disappointed. Cheap Vietnamese food. Don't get outrageous and order everything on the menu. Stick to basics and it won't disappoint. read more

Hit or miss, this one. I've been here three times and each time the food has been of questionable reliability. At some point the food was really good and then it seem to fall off. It seems to me that it depends upon the day of the week that you were there. I do like a good pad Thai noodle dish and had it there once. I also had a "not so good" pad Thai noodle dish. There are a few other options on the shore for these dishes. I would love to give this place a better rating as it is a local business but frankly, I feel they could do much, much better. read more

I was immediately impressed with the interior. Tons of plants, fish tanks etc. Only one person serving, but she was very knowledgeable and timely. I ordered the spicy lemongrass beef soup and the slow drip coffee with condensed milk. The coffee was neat. I was able to pour in my own desired amount of hot water into the single serve slow drip mechanism. It tasted amazing. I want one now. The soup was very tasty and would definitely order again. (The waitress recommended it. Little spicy though! If I'm ever back out here, I will come back. read more

Excellent pho. Great iced coffee. Excellent service. Cute little establishment. Do recommend.

I love this place the food is great. The atmosphere is like that of most small Asian food restaurants. But the people are really nice and you have just got to try the chicken stir fry with lemongrass or with ginger! read more
