Went last night for girls night and had a blast! We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival by a very lovely hostess. She took extra time to go over the most popular dishes and gauged what we would most likely enjoy. The Thai tea is light and refreshing and I recommend you try it. I had the rare beef Pho and omg, I have enough leftovers for at least two more meals. The food was fantastic and the service was perfect. The atmosphere is well...comfortable and quirky. We were given time after our meal to catch up and laugh. By the time we left we knew we'd be back for more!!!

I glad my daughter brought us here. All the food was great. Service was good, people was nice. Pricing is not bad. One item 1/2 price each day. We had pho combination , it was very tasty, lots of flavor. The dumplings were great, nice sauce. The sandwich’s were tasty and full of ingredients. The pad Thai was A+ . I will be back soon. Thank you to all the staff. Give them a try.!!

Very very tasty food. We got the pho, chicken fried rice, 12 piece Asian bbq chicken wings, dumplings, and spring roll. The location was the only thing that wasn't the greatest since it is in a really strange area but other than that, it is near perfect. The food was all very delicious and the service was really really good. The bathroom was pretty clean and the whole restaurant was neatly decorated and clean. Overall would recommend if you are in the area.

You walk in and can already smell the soup in a home y way. My shrimp pho had a LOT of shrimp and it was delicious. The spring rolls were delicious as well as big but I’d probably get 2 next time because I enjoyed it so much. The dumplings were awesome and a nice size. Service was warm and attentive

I remember when this place was nascent, hole-in-the-wall vibes run by new immigrants. Even back then I had remarkably tasty food. Now they've upgraded to a swanky pho place with lots of extras. The people are charming and the decor looks amazing stylewise. Their food is still very good, possibly the best in class for Buffalo and it's right here in my 'hood (where it belongs).

Upon arrival, I was greeted and seated almost immediately by a friendly hostess. The restaurant decor was traditional, lighting was dim with a fair amount of seating arrangements available. If I had a derogatory comment it would be the choice of music playing - I think something a bit more zen would be a more appropriate fit. But let's get to the part that everyone reads reviews for - THE FOOD! Combination Pho - rating: 7 out of 10 I ordered a small bowl and the portion size felt huge! The broth was rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, however; it lacked clarity which is essential to every great pho broth. The bean sprouts were by far the crispiest I have ever had in my lifetime. The thai basil was fresh and fragrant. The meat was a little overdone. In my opinion, it's easier to chew when kept on a medium rare scale. BBQ Pork Sandwich - rating: 9 out of 10 I ordered this sandwich as I know it to be a banh mi down in the south. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The bread was crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The pork was seasoned well and had a hint of sweetness which complimented the fresh, crisp veggies perfectly. The only thing missing was lemongrass, which would have added a mild citrus flavor and ginger taste to balance it all together.

On Sunday, I went to Pho Lantern with my boyfriend. I have never been here and was craving the comfort of Vietnamese noodle soups! Just a head's up I do not have the photo on here of the chocolate lava cake and his chicken teriyaki Banh mi Coming: You can see all the beautiful tables that give date night vibes and decor! There are these cute lantern light chandeliers and that little serene space and I have a picture it as it is adorable and gives me the zen feels! I love it! At one of the tables, there's a little backdrop or picture on the wall of a beach and the sky. That's nice. Staff: Staff are welcoming and respectful. They gave us our menus (which are on the electronic tablets) and also asked us when we would like our dessert that I also didn't take a photo of because we ate it up! What we had: My boyfriend has the chicken teriyaki Banh mi with a fried egg on top and I had the Vietnamese chicken noodle soup! For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake. His reaction to the teriyaki chicken Banh mi: He saw the sandwhich came with vegetables and saucy chicken teriyaki and he dug in. He enjoyed it and felt quite full after finishing it. My review of the soup: This soup was really good. Chicken was soft and delicious (generous amount or portion). The broth was also good. The ingredients really give it that comforting taste and feel that makes you want to just go home and sleep or eat it while watching the moon or something. The noodles were very fine, soft, and easy to inhale. Every sip and bite was amazing. The noodles were endless too, because even though I ate alot of it, there was still alot of noodles and broth in the bowl as if I didn't eat alot lol. Great portions on that too. Our chocolate lava cake: It came with drizzles of chocolate sauce and it tasted kind of like a brownie. It was nice and warm like hug in the winter time. Great experience! Thank you!
