Pho Thai

Been here at Pho Thai on quite a few occasions. It’s my “go-to” in the New Haven area for some of the best Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Was is search of “Bánh xèo” and found some other favorite dishes instead such as chicken satay, drunken noodles, crazy chicken noodle soup, grilled salmon with curry, fried mushrooms, chicken wings, Thai fried rice and a must must try-drunken noodle with your choice of meat and level of spiciness. Flavors are on the borderline of authentic from its homeland and look forward to exploring many more of their dishes. Hey-they EXPANDED, they now have a Boba Tea and crepe cafe-Definitely worth a try!.

I usually hate to leave a less than stellar review. But this review is for people who eat Vietnamese food all of the time and know what to expect. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because their Thai side of the menu was good and the server was polite. The Vietnamese side of the menu was EXTREMELY lacking. This is their version of Com Dac with vermicelli. I also ordered pork spring rolls which they call rice paper rolls with BOILED pork sooooooooo bland I would have sworn under oath it was white meat chicken. Disappointed is not a strong enough word to express my discontent but it's the only word I got. I spent $70 and left hangry. Still hungry and now angry. If you want good Vietnamese food, in the words of the poet Lil Wayne "don't do it, nahhhh don't do it".

Delicious ramen and pho 😌 Spicy miso ramen was balanced with flavor and had a kick! The vegetarian pho had flavorful, light broth with a wide array of veggies. Even the tofu was delicious, soft and creamy. Big portions, too. Clean environment. This is definitely a top competitor for me in terms of ramen in downtown 🤫I’d happily go here again. I ate at the restaurant #vaccinated and didn’t order to-go so I can’t comment on how it travels. Definitely try this restaurant and don’t be completely lured by more popular places!

The restaurant was super clean with lots of seating options. Waitress was super responsive, refilling water glasses regularly. The menu offers Thai and Vietnamese dishes but Thai appears to be their specialty, offering regional Northern Thai dishes. The portions were large. The Salmon Panang Curry had a huge piece of Salmon. The price of two meals and spring rolls was $40.
