Pho Fans — Restaurant in Town of Smithtown

Went there with my husband. We really love this restaurant and it’s actually not easy to find such a nice Vietnamese restaurant in the long island area so want to recommend to all others who stop by this area. The food is very authentic. The Vibes are quite clean, nice and Vietnamese style. The service is decent too so basically we are very satisfied. We ordered 4 dishes which are Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop, Papaya Salad with Grilled Shrimp, Chicken Broth with Seafood: Shrimp, squid, scallion, crab meat, and mixed vegetable and Vietnamese Steamed Bun with Boneless Spare Ribs. The pork chop is the appetizer which is quite surprising. The meat is tender and dipped with the fish sauce gives you the sweat flavor and good to be the first dish. The Papaya salad is very impressive since we the slices of the Papaya is very crispy and the blend of the salad serves in large amount. The bun is our favorite and with the sauce, and all different vegetables, each bite is yummy. Lastly, we had the seafood Pho noodle. Trust me, this is really huge. We like the broth of Chicken, and there are all different seafood choices and mixed vegetable so from the ingredients it cal tell the amount and the flavor is very good too since the broth was boiled for many hours as told by the waiter. Overall, we love this place and happy to find it in this area. Will definitely come...

Update April 2021 The positives; Still very tasty food. Had take out, but still friendly service at the counter. The not so good; Dropping the long standing 5 star review to 3 stars as the portion size has fallen by the way side. We have been a few times for take out and we have always been happy through Covid. Both my wife and I ate our dinner tonight and are both still hungry. There was barely any meat in our dishes and as we all know protein is what fills you up. Maybe it was just take out and a bad night, but probably will wait until everything is back to normal before trying again and it is safer to eat in.

Original review from pre-covid; Been here 3 or 4 times and have to recommend for the following reasons

1. good tasty fresh made food
2. service is good
3. pleasant ambiance and decor,
4. most importantly they are clearly listening to their customers and reviews, portion sizes were a bit hit and miss when they first opened. Today my wife couldn't finish her dinner. They are trying harder on the warm welcoming typified by American owned establishments, as we were warmly greeted to our table.

I hope this restaurant continues to thrive, we will certainly...

Me and my husband were anticipating to visit this place for the longest. When we arrived we were definitely excited. The environment was very cozy and friendly. However I must say I was very disappointed with the food. My husband ordered general tso chicken with white rice and I ordered a chicken base seafood pho. We ordered it for takeout so we can sit home and enjoy the food with our 2 little kids, when we got home and opened our general tso chicken the first bite you could immediately tell that it wasn't fresh. The crispy coating was a very unpleasant chewy hardness layer and the chicken was seemed as it was a day old. I'm sorry to say, but 4 people sampled the chicken and everyone seemed disappointed with the outcome. It went straight to the trash. On the other side the pho was decent. We have pho many times before and to compare it to a delicious powerful pho, this one was so so. Whether it was ordered to stay there and enjoy their meals or order it for takeout. They should keep their consistency of fresh cooked meals especially their meat in the general tso chicken. To be fair since this is a newly open restaurant. I would give it 3 stars out...
