Nice servers--always friendly and welcoming. Been here 15+ times; budget-friendly at around $20 per person. Food tastes good, definitely a solid spot for Vietnamese cuisine.

Nice staff and good food. Turn the heat up on cold nights and keep the music volume low next time.

Cheshire has come a long way ever since I was a kid. Now, there's a pho place downtown. Parking downtown is still as awful as ever, but if you can get one of the few spots here, sit down for a wonderful meal. Like many pho places, they have many Asian soups and dishes. But, like any place with a dish in the name, I've got to try the namesake. It did not disappoint, and on a cold night, it wasn't long before that bowl of soup was warming me from the inside. I'm no authority on pho, but I will say this one of the better ones I've had.

A little gem in Cheshire... what some people may refer to as little "hole in the wall" eatery... others may refer to it as a hidden gem. The family/staff are always friendly and they always remember everyone! The menu is pretty vast from spice palettes (Thai and Vietnamese cultures) and is always great tasting and served hot! The restaurant gets busy on weekends (Fridays & Saturday nights) so be prepared for a bit of a wait as everything is cooked to order! If you're not up for a leisurely dinner- you can always do a takeout order! Other than that it's a great place to meet up and enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner with friends and family!!

Found our new go-to place for pho! My husband and I have wanted to try Pho & Spice for a while and it exceeded our expectations. We dined in on a week night after running errands. The restaurant wasn't busy and the staff were nice and tentative. We parked in the back parking lot of the building and entered from their back entrance. The staff let us seat ourselves anywhere we liked. The dining room felt open with a lot of natural light coming through the large windows that looked out towards the street. There were various size tables that would fit small to large parties. Pho & Spice's menu had a lot of Vietnamese, Thai, Indian and other Asian dishes. They have much more than pho! They had a lot of noodle dishes like ramen, vermicelli, stir-fry noodle, and they had their own specialty entrees. To start, we ordered the Roti Canai, a thin Indian flat bread served with Thai curry sauce. The curry sauce was delicious with warm spices and the grilled flatbread had a robust flavor. We would definitely order this appetizer again. For dinner, my husband and I ordered Pho. My husband got the Tai which was beef broth and rare steak. I got the vegetarian pho called Pho Chay that had tofu, vegetable broth, and assortment of veggies (carrot, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, and more). The pho came with the usual toppings like bean sprouts, lime, Thai basil, and sauces. We loved the pho that we preferred it over our usual pho spot. The broth was flavorful and not too salty. The noodles were perfect, we liked the thickness of the noodle and weren't over cooked. I never been able to finish my bowl of pho and was stuffed. Wished I had left room for dessert because they had Mango Sticky Rice which is one of my faves. I also found out they have hot tea, iced tea and even boba. My husband enjoyed the meal so much that he already planned what he will try next time (Pad Thai). So there you have it, it's husband approved!

Quick trip to just outside of Hartford and found this little place. Wish I had more time to try more things but the Pho and Spring Roll were great, I'll get a better review when I get back up in the area, but I will be back!

This place has been here a while but we recently just discovered it. What a great restaurant. There are so many choices on the menu. I had the crazy udon which was delicious. Friends of ours had some fried rice choices, one being salmon. We also tried the fried green bean appetizer. Everyone we have brought here can't wait to come back again. Just sad it took us so long to find this wonderful restaurant. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. And most importantly it is also byob..

Best Summer Rolls ever! Great size, well made, really tasty sauce. They are generous with the filling and we were very happy with the rest of the food we ordered. We have only ordered take out from them but this was a place that my husband wanted to try and I had a craving for summer rolls. As luck would have it, this was the closest place to us and we have no regrets!

Such a cute place with really amazing staff!!! We went a little late and they still seated us and gave us amazing service. They even refilled both out boba teas (which were really good and had a generous portion of tapioca)!! I had the Bun Bo Hue pho, it was such a rich and hearty soup and the meat was cooked so perfectly it practically fell apart! We also had spring rolls it was also delicious! Please come here.

Very few restaurants are able to serve two ethnic foods well. Pho spice achieved that between their Vietnamese and Thai offerings We started off with a summer roll with shrimp and roti canaj. They were both fresh and delicious Then the wife and I had beef pho while our friend had chicken pho. Both were very good. Staff was attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend!
