Affordable and delicious! Highly recommend the mango fried rice. Banh mi is only $6. Service is very quick and the waiter was so attentive and nice. The Vietnamese coffee was so good. Also recommend the durian dessert. Such an excellent variety of food!
Ordered spring rolls and there pho. Flavor had so much depth. It was delicious. Smells good and the staff is great.
When I go hiking at Amherst. I grab a bite eat here. My faves are the first Pho on the list. Pork Chop platter and Fresh Spring Rolls. Very yummy.
Awesome service, great boba and pho, will be back!! They were packed on halloween weekend but seated us as soon as possible, service was fast
I really like the bowls and decor here, it's really cute. The pho itself was good. It did have a little bit of and "off" taste. It wasn't gamey but tasted/smelled a tiny bit like dirty dishwater? I'm not sure if it was just me and my boyfriend but we felt that way. Even so I enjoyed my meal here. We also got a cubed beef dish with vegetables that was tasty. Service was quick and friendly.
This place is insane. Maybe I'm just used to Boston pricing, but dang it's cheap... and large portions... and the food is tasty. What a rare find! If you really want the best deal, come for the lunch special. I got so excited that I ordered both a banh mi and a pho dish. The service was great and my friend and I sat around for a while, without feeling rushed out. Definitely a casual spot and I could see lots of college students coming here during the school year. Hands down, highly recommend!
Authentic Vietnamese food in a quaint, cozy setting. One of a handful of Asian restaurants in downtown Amherst, it absolutely belongs amongst the top of list. When we visited on a Friday afternoon, the dining room was packed. We thought 2:00 was going to be not so packed. We were pleasantly surprised. Goes to show just how great this place is. Despite the crowd, our food came out in minutes. So fast. And it was so good. Highly recommend.
Very good Vietnamese cuisine and a solid fix for pho! I was admittedly not expecting it to be so good, but what a nice surprise. We started off with some spring rolls (fresh shrimp, crisp vegetables, very tasty) and beef samosas (not too spicy but flavorful), then moved on to: shrimp and chicken Vietnamese-style pad thai (also very flavorful and colorful); Miss Saigon pho (a mixture of beef cuts and tripe - good tasty broth); and a vegetarian pho (which my wife said was the best tasting veggie broth she's had in a long while). Definitely will come back to try their other offerings (especially their duck dishes!). Service was also prompt and pleasant.
I come here almost every week. The broth is the most delicious liquid gold you'll experience in Western Mass! I come here to have a full meal within 20 minutes; they're super fast and attentive. It's always busy, especially during this time of year, but you will always get a seat and served quickly. Get the pho and some boba- you won't leave disappointed!! Such a calm and relaxing experience even when eating alone, or with a group. It's very cheap too! Great prices for great food = great review :)
