Vietnamese food must be just not good to my taste. I have tried it in a few restaurants (and I totally forgot that I disliked it then too) and everywhere I felt like it was cooked by ancient civilization when people just discovered cooking. Their food has no flavor! And summer rolls are raw. Uncooked Rise paper sheet with more rise noodles in it some shrimp and disgusting pork. These rolls were served cold… made me feel like the world is running out of decent food and I’m eating it because there is nothing better out there. Just not my cuisine at all!! A few ladies when leaving asked me how I liked my summer rolls because they found it ridiculous that they are served cold with no flavor in them . I was glad I wasn’t the only one who wouldn’t agree with the reviews. Those must be from Vietnamese people who got used to their cuisine but it’s a huge big fat NO for me. I gave this place a try because I wanted those crispy rise paper spring rolls you can find on internet. Their rolls was far from what I was looking for. Just eat soaked but uncoooked rise paper wrap with more rise noodles on it no flavor even though it had boiled shrimp, some disgusting pork meat and no veggies and you will have Vietnamese simmer rolls. Everything comes with sweet peanut butter sauce which is not my cup of it as well. The beef pho was also tasteless with okay beef but disgusting meatballs or brisket I don’t know what exactly it was. Their soup was too watery and flavoreless to me. I’m a foodie and usually can eat anything but Vietnamese cuisine is the only one so far which I couldn’t...
Read moreI frequent this place quite often, and I love their beef pho and their summer rolls. Though their summer rolls are quite expensive (2 for $10) they have a very good taste with a blend of beef, shrimp, noodles, and lettuce. Other reviewers have said that they hated the food here but I believe that this food is one of the best tasting from the Vietnamese cuisine that I have had. (I have been to over 10 others). It is an acquired taste and not all may like it but if you do this is the place to go. The pho here is large, with generous helping of beef. I recommend the extra large if you want the best price to size ratio (enough for two servings). Just make sure to push the meat down if you would like it fully cooked. The staff here is quick and very understanding of dietary restrictions. Joe is the owner of three of these restaurants (all called The Rolling Spring Roll) and I highly recommend talking to him as he has a lot to share. All in all this is a wonderful place (one of few) for those wishing to enjoy Vietnamese food on Long Island. Come see...
Read moreThe food at this place is immaculate. I must say this was a very positive experience for me, as this was my first time trying Vietnamese food. My server took the time to explain what everything was and recommended the best dishes. I started with the spring rolls and summer rolls as appetizers, and i was not disappointed. The pairing of the peanut dipping sauce with the summer roll made the perfect combo. The spring rolls did not disappoint either. They were amazing. My main dish was the beef pho, and it was much better than i thought it was going to be. The rice noodles with the beef and broth was the best combo i ever tasted. I highly recommend this place to someone who is looking to try...
