Pho 135 - West Hartford

There was no house special pho. You could select up to three ingredients to put in the pho and more will cost extra. The broth was on the sweeter side. The fish (doesn't look like catfish) was cooked with pineapple and a sweet sauce. The pork chop was on the dry side.

This is about the pho soup, that I cannot help but crave pretty often. Not bad at this place. Decent broth. Super fresh basil. Different size bowls to choose from. Different types of meat to choose from. I just wish I liked their meatballs, I did not. Very nice staff, definitely quick service. A very nice dining experience, overall.

We went in and set an order for the takeover. When we came home, we discovered the beef for our Pho was raw. We called Pho 135 and instead of admitting that this beef was not cooked, they told us that it was rare and that we had to cook it at home. Look at the photo and direct yourself. You said if we wanted to cook our food, we should have ordered it to eat. Your menu says nothing about the need to demand that they cook your food. The waitress who took our order didn't tell us we had to cook our own dinner. Why would someone pay a restaurant to cook only part of their meal? That would be like a burger community and asks to go for a quarter-peter, just to be presented with a bun and a ball of raw beef. If I wanted to cook my own dinner, I would have gone to the grocery store and bought the ingredients myself. We were hungry, so we went ahead and cook the food ourselves. It wasn't good. We won't be back.

This is my place for Vietnamese food. Is where I usually meet friends for lunch. The food was absolutely wonderful and the service was excellent. I didn't have the nerve to try the wall of glory? that is where you eat a huge bowl of the Pho in a certain time. I always get the spring rolls. The shaker and the beef are also another treat.

If you want friendly service, fresh ingredients, home made recipes, steaming hot broth and incredible tastes....go to Pho 135. I did the 8lb pho challenge here in December....despite tapping out, I was so impressed with the rich taste of the broth, freshness of veggies, and richness of meat. Pho 135 features a savory broth with incredibly chewy tasty noodles. Their vegetables are always fragrant and crispy. The attention to detail on your order is flawless. I recommend getting a side of chili oil for your pho. This noodle house is definitely on my short lists of go to spots here in Connecticut
