Vietnam Noodle House

I have been working in Nashua for several weeks. I have gone to this place 5 different times at 12 or after and they were not open and nothing to say why. Don’t waste your time.

I have had Vietnamese food from California to Boston and by far I find this establishment to be one of the best my wife and I have ever visited.
The food is extremly fresh and made to order the staff is by far the nicest I have come across any Asian restaurant.

This place is resonably priced if you’re on a diet and don’t eat a lot of meat. I give it 4 stars because I LOVE Vietnamese food and appreciate that it’s conveniently located for me and the broth in their phở is excellent.
Décor could use some sprucing up. Also they keep the place a little cold.

Quick update — I complained in my last update about the wacky times this place is open and received a very nice/​detailed response from a family member. I have returned twice since then, both times they were open as advertised and the PHO is still quite remarkable. Really enjoy the PHO here, rivals anywhere in the region.

There’s not a whole lot to write about here. The place is clean inside, bare bones, but nice. The service was fine and the waitress was great. The food was simply awful. I ordered a seafood fried rice and it was minus any seafood. There was literally one small shrimp and small chunks of some kind of white mystery fish, The fish pieces were rubbery and as small as the nail on my pinkie finger. There were barely any vegetables in it either and the ones were were all uniform carrot chunks or peas, obviously frozen of from a can. The order was huge, large enough to fill the large plate, but it was essentially all white rice with nothing else in it. Seafood fried rice should have seafood. The food was bad enough to recommend never going here. I never will again.

I have eaten here a few times and I have to say the chicken with Chinese broccoli was among the best I’ve ever had. The phở noodles are outstanding as well. Service was pretty solid, at times they take a while to get to your table, but all in all not bad. I have had the crab rangoon, they had this Vietnamese egg pizza kind of dish I don’t know what I was but it was very good and also edamame which, how do you screw up edamame??? Well they didn’t so god bless the Vietnamese and god bless America. All hail zombie Jesus.

First time tonight and OMG that was a treat! Three in our party had Boba teas and they were quite obviously made one at a time with great care. All of us were very pleased with our food, and while no one in our party is vegetarian I will point out (as others have) that anyone looking for vegetarian fare would be super happy here.
And as others have mentioned, the décor is not a reason to go. It’s not UGLY … its bare minimum. But the attention by the staff is good, and the quality is freakin amazing. We’ll be going back … alot!

I’ve been coming here for years now, because someone was kind enough to tell me about it. Now, I tell everyone I know. This place is amazing, especially for vegetarians. The portions are great and service is friendly. You won’t regret giving them a shot.

Wasn’t open on Sunday, May 3, 2015. If you are not open on Sundays, please correct your operating hours.

I’m vietnamese and i just have to make sure this is heard… their Ph sucks. I ordered the xl size hoping to get more meat and I got 4 pieces. The special nowl suppose to have all the other beef parts like tripe & etc… well, good luck finding one low quality one. I wonder what the regular size get. The broth was awful. Probably lined with MSG. They charged me 4.25 for bubble tea and they used powder instead of real fruit. The space is dingy, smells like vietnam and the service was just baseline. They get you for food and then the bill because the guy was too busy texting on his phone. So to be a bother. Jeeze. I gave them a 15% tip and don’t feel bad. It was the worst vietnamese food experience in my entire life.

We ate here in November before going to the Pheasant Lane mall, and ate a very tasty spring roll.
This was followed by watching a cockroach climb out onto an adjacent table. We told our server, who didn’t seem surprised. He looked disappointed, but not apologetic. We left promptly.

When it comes to phở they have nice big sizes snd a flavorful broth like you’d expect. It’s great!
I would give them more stars if the interior was in better shape. It’s clean enough and the staff is very friendly. However it’s very dated and there aren’t many extras such as a decent beverage selection.

Went here specifically looking for take-​out Phở. Used to what Leominster has to offer, I was expecting decent phở at the very least.
We were pleasantly surprised. Not only is the staff extremely friendly, everything was fresh, delicious and generously portioned. I was especially pleased with how many sprouts they give you. Most places give you small portions, maybe a handful or so, and we had enough to keep adding all the way through our entire bowl (something we LOVE to do). We ordered a spicy beef and a regular beef phở.
We also had the fried rice, which was delicious, but not nearly as amazing as the phở.
This will definitely become my new Thai go-​to!

Amazing vegan options! The sauces are absolutely delicious, and I’ve yet to have a bad meal here. The interior is very modest, but don’t let that fool you on the quality of the cuisine.

The place was just OK. Let me break it down.
Restaurant itself is old and run down. It was dirty and unkept.
Server/​Cashier — was super cute and friendly.
Phở — it was OK. I still ate all my noodles. I ordered beef brisket and steak and the hubby got the same but when he asked for extra meat, they threw in some chewy meatballs (YUCK).
Boba tea: sorry but the boba was OLD and super wrinkled. not fresh at all.
I give the place 3 stars because the service was pleasant but will not go back there. They need to get that place cleaned up and up to par.

I had high hopes for this place because of their extensive vegetarian menu.
The first red flag should have been how dirty the table was. We sat at the only table that was free and I’ve noticed how much dried sauce was stuck on it. Gross but I knew I wasn’t eating off the table. Food gets put onto a plate, not the table so I pretended like they weren’t there. Each table came with a plastic organizer that held spoons, forks, chopsticks and hot sauce. I picked up the organizer to move it towards the wall where it wouldn’t be bumped so easily and the sides of it were just as dingy as the table surface. It was super gross. Thank goodness for travel size hand sanitizer.
My husband & I ordered their fried veggie dumplings, mock chicken with broccoli and mock chicken with mixed vegetables and stir fried noodles. When the dumplings came, they were hot and crispy. However when we bit into them, they were basically empty. Technically there were fillings inside but probably not more than half a tablespoon. I’m not kidding. Oh yeah and I had to ask for napkins too since the organizer didn’t have them.
Our entrees came and both our meals were room temperature. That was another red flag. My dish had noodles in it and they seem like they were sitting out in the kitchen for a while and then had sauce dumped over them — I go to a noodle house and I don’t even get fresh noodles. Not at all impressed.
During the whole time we were there, the waiter never checked in on us so not only was the food unimpressive, the service wasn’t great either. They could do so much better.

So I have been coming here for almost two years now. That’s a good sign right? I come back?
Service is hit or miss. There is a guy who hangs out at the counter that is a, «speaks when found and spoken to» kinda dude, not the greatest. However, sometimes the older man is on the ball, and the women are pretty friendly.
Food is great for me. Lotsa VEGAN stuff, and Seitan, which I SO appreciate them serving! The veggies always seem super fresh, and thank goodness, they don’t cook them until they are almost disintegrating! I normally get one thing, and then another to go home for the next days dinner, and it’s still yummy re-​heated. Drinks could be better. They are in coolers, but the contents are hit or miss, maybe they aim for randomness.
Atmosphere, well… It all depends! If the phrase Hole in the Wall is ok with you, then it’s cool. Some people want fresher, newer and trendier… And that’s not on the menu here. S’alright with me though because I care about the food the most. They could clean more, I have not seen anything gross, but some spots are kinda grimy in the corners and such. Bathroom needs arranging, although in the girls room there is some sort of cool wrapping machine I desperately wanna try.

Mediocre at best… although I don’t know if that area has any other options.
The Phở was okay enough, but I feel something lacking.
The only positive side is that if you’re a vegetarian, they have a very extensive menu for fake chicken. Although is it worth it? I don’t know, I’m not vegetarian.
I don’t know maybe I’m just spoiled between living in NYC & Boston.
The udon noodle dish is very oil, like heart attack inducing oily.
I was going to give 5 stars for the service since the girl was nice but… not only did they charge me a $ 1 to get my leftovers packed up (who does that!!! I should have deducted that from my tip, but the girl seemed nice and the place was empty) but! The whole take out bag was busted, the Styrofoam container fell apart as soon as I got to my car…
and if there’s one thing that makes you regret getting questionable Vietnamese food, is spending an evening trying to clean the oil and food spill from the floor of your car.
P. S. if you check in with the Unilocal app you get a free app with two entrees. Even still this place is not worth going to.

The phở ga (20m) is to die to for. I have traveled all over the world eating phở and this place has the best broth that I have ever eaten. The fresh rolls and the vegetarian fried spring rolls are also tasty. This is a great addition to Nashua’s Main Street.
The restaurant is sparsely decorated, but the soup is so delicious that I don’t really care. And really, it does have its own charm, in that chinatown-​hole-​in-​the-​wall kinda of way.
A number of other reviewers have complained about the lack of service, to which I reply:
1. It’s a family run place, and I would rather they concentrate on continuing to make delicious soup than catering to my every whim (get up and get your own napkin from the large stack)
2. The kids who work as waiters/​waitresses are grade-​school kids. Again, I would rather they do their homework and socialize with their peers that being tentative waiters. They are young kids, lay off.
3. That is not to say that they are not tentative waiters. They have always brought me everything that I have asked for in a promptly manner, whether that be more napkins or the check. If you are assertive and ask for whatever you want, they will bring it to you.
All in all, this is a great place and I am glad that I found it.
P. S. There is free wi-​fi

Tried the Phở Ga here — very average. No depth or complexity to the broth.
The interior of the place is a bit on dingy side. But if you are in major need of a Phở fix — it may hold you over.
