Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The Thai Tea, Drunken noodles, fried rice was especially memorable. Must try! From appetizers to desserts, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations! The service was top-notch! The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
I have to say I’m so impressed by Pho Thai! This hidden gem is right in plain sight on Orange Street. You HAVE to go on a Friday night when they do their braised lamb shank special - it’s by far the best lamb I’ve ever had in my life. It’s so tender and flavorful! It’s available for dine in only every Friday. We tried a variety of their most popular menu items and weren’t disappointed by any of them. The staff was very attentive with the food coming out quickly, and the restaurant had a nice vibe, especially near the coffee bar with some hanging, swaying chairs. We even had a couple lattes before we left and were impressed by the quality. I would definitely come back here!
Something was off at this place. I visited with friends who have liked this spot for a long time, but it was my first visit. We ordered two pho soups, tom yum noodle soup, and a vermicelli dish with chicken. The food was very disappointing. The pho had very little soup and meat. The tom yum soup was served without shrimp and lacked the main flavor paste. While the flavor was ok, it felt like the owner was trying to cut costs. The worst dish was my vermicelli with chicken. It was served hot when it should be served cold or at least at room temperature. I even saw steam rising from it, which made me suspect that the chef didn’t know what they were doing. The server was blunt, and the AC was extremely weak on a hot day. You can’t expect to keep customers coming back with service like that.
I love going here. Take the time to visit in person because their curry is to die for and is best in a bowl at the resteraunt. They are so generous with their serving size and the flavor is always amazing and comforting. This place is something special. You can tell they care about the quality of the food and your experience as a diner. Also nice place to go to the bar and get some work done :)
Food tasted great but the ordering, serving and payment took very long time. Perhaps busy high season due to WSC but it was too long especially with the kids being exhausted with many activities.
