It is awesome to have a decent Vietnamese restaurant right in the downtown of Union! We have been looking at the spot on the corner with a four-way sign for what feels like a whole year waiting for it to open, so it’s nice to see that despite the COVID-19 craziness they have still been able to actually open. My go-to’s at Vietnamese restaurants are pretty much the pho, and sometimes the avocado smoothies and also the occasional Vietnamese iced coffee. For the pho I really prefer a richer, somewhat fatty or broth, so to that end this one was only OK. It may satisfy your pho craving if you are not looking to drive further but it is not my preference at all, I actually prefer the broth at Binh Duong II in Hillside (btw note that my friend unfortunately found a cockroach in their food at Bing Duong II when ordering within the last few months which naturally has me skeeved out). The Vietnamese coffee here does the trick and I’ve sometimes ordered just this for pick up. In sum: it’s nice to have a Vietnamese place in town, I would drop by again for the Vietnamese iced coffee, and probably to try some of their pork chop vermicelli dishes to see if those are similar at all to my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in New Jersey.

I love this restaurant. The food is top notch and the prices are reasonable. Located conveniently in the center of downtown Union, this Vietnamese standout serves authentic pho, rice and noodles dishes, bahn mi and more. The traditional spring rolls were an amazing appetizer: filled with pork and shrimp, fried in a thin crunchy wrapper, then enveloped in lettuce and mint leaves and dipped in the sweet-sour sauce...it really transports you to Vietnam! The grilled pork in the bahn mi is tender, marinated in a savory sauce and grilled with a nice char. Paired with creamy mayo, crunchy marinated veggies and soft pillowy baguette, it's the best bite that we had tonight. The pho was amazing too: the broth is so comforting on a cold winter day and the portion can be generously split between two people. The rice noodles are filling without being too filling, and the rare beef, brisket and tripe provides just enough protein. You're provided Thai basil, bean sprouts, jalapenos and a variety of sauces to flavor the broth to your taste.

Pho way has been on my "want to go" list, and I finally made a check-in and ordered summer rolls(shrimp and pork) and large combination pho(P3). As soon as I got my summer rolls, I thought I should have said, "I want shrimp + pork option" as the sliced pork was very thin. Still tasted good. So okay, let's move on. I got the pho and had a sip of broth without adding any sauces or vegetables. The broth tasted very light and blanded. I am trying to avoid salty food in general, but it was still bland to me. Fortunately or unfortunately, lots of noodles were absorbing the broth, they got soggy, and I finished my pho with no broth left eventually. It's pretty disappointing as I was very excited that Pho Way could be my go-to Vietnamese restaurant near me...

Say yes way to Pho Way! Their signature pho called "Pho Way Combo" which had 6 proteins including oxtail in a delicious, deeply-flavored broth super impressed me. Then their chicken banh mi (Banh Mi Thit Ga Nuong) was also good and tasty. Besides these types of food, their menu's vast with plenty of vegetarian options and noodle and rice w/meat dishes. With pho so un-pho-gettable and banh mi so yummy, I can't wait to take everyone I know here! NOTES/TIPS: **On the corner of Stuyvesant Ave. and Emerson Ave. **Metered parking lots and street parking available. **Very fair price points. Very friendly and attentive staff.

I ordered this meal via Uber eats. My meal consisted of the Grilled pork Banh Mi and small Pho soup (beef broth, rice noodles, fresh herbs and steak, brisket, beef tendon, and tripe) and the fresh lemonade. It was a good portion size. My favorite dish was the Banh Mi Vietnamese hero style sandwich on a baguette, it had a sweet teriyaki oyster sauce on the pork which was flavorful and paired well with the tanginess of the pickled vegetables. The meal was authentic and traditional. I would order from here again.

First let me start out by saying the customer service was excellent! My friend and I wanted to try Pho for the 1st time... She ordered the Bun Bo Hue and it was soooooo delicious... I ordered the shrimp & bacon rolls and the Pho WAY Combo... My shrimp rolls were delicious but my Pho was a disappointment... The meat and broth were very bland... I tried adding the condiments on the table but that did no good... I will return to try a menu item other than the Pho..
