This is one of my favorites in CT for pho. This place is kind of on a busy street but there's lots of parking and the inside of the restaurant is spacious. There's definitely more take out orders than dine-in, but it makes me feel relaxed to be there.I never have a bad meal here. The pho is great, good flavor and they give a good amount of meat, veggies and in addition the basil. lime and bean sprouts in a small baggie. I think my favorite thing is their fried egg rolls. They're much crispier than other noodle shops!I've had almost every tea/shake flavor here and they're always fresh, especially my favorite- durian!I come by at least once every time I visit the state. The staff are always so friendly!Parking: Parking lot is shared with the bank and salon connected to the building.

A little bit pricey and the menu is small but they, do what they do pretty well all around sold spot, I recommend the Mì Gà (egg noodle chicken soup)

I come back to CT every year or so to visit family and friends and one of the stops I have to go to when I'm back is Pho 135. In CT, it's probably my top Pho place. I think it's the broth that wins me over. It's rich and ridiculously full of flavor and it's also so clean, if that makes sense. The chilli oil is also to die for. If you like Pho, this is a solid place to go.

Got delivery. Food was plentiful. Pho is decent. Banh mi is bomb (give it a try for sure). Apps were your normal tasty fried goodness. Will return.

The broth here is good. Doesnt need any seasoning. Noodles cooked well, meat was tender. Recommend the ox tail. Vietnamese coffee was par. Parking is convenient. The server was pleasant and very nice. Shaking beef was excellent as well.

Very disappointed with this restaurant. We decided to give it a try because of the great reviews but our experience was not that at all. The minute we walked in the manager or women in charge started yelling at her employees to go sit us down. We took a seat, looked over the menu and when we went to order there was a confusion with one of the orders. The girl that took our order was very nice and sweet. My husband and my dad ordered an oxtail pho with shrimp which the oxtail was an extra $5 and they only gave them 1 piece of oxtails with 3 shrimps. For the prices that they are charging the food wasn’t all that. I also ordered a side of PLAIN fried rice, no veggies, no meat just plain rice & it was $18 ! When we paid my husband gave the girl a $100 bill and she came back with the wrong change when he went up to the counter to tell them the owner came up and started talking to him very sassy & with an attitude stating she did give the right change and he was lying! She tried to argue with him but ended up giving it to him. There was no reason for us to lie. Very poor customer service from her. We won’t be visiting this restaurant anymore.

Honestly this place has potential and could do better. As a business owner my self. I take customer service very seriously! nobody came to ask how our food was, or give us any water. The pho was so nasty! The broth was to sweet. Noodles were mushy. I didn’t like the food at all. We still paid and tipped . Please do better .

Very good pho and even better employees. They treat you with love, and with fast service. I couldn't recommend it more if you're trying to get some quick pho in a pinch!

I had the pho and spring rolls and pork with rice everything was really good. Just when you ask for anything extra they bring you such small amount of it it's like please can you bring some more so I don't have ask for it every 4 min.

The grilled pork Banh Mi is probably one of the best I’ve had. The pork is Smokey and soft from the grilling and pairs well with the savory sauce and crunchy radish and carrots. And the jalapeños add that kick while the cucumbers cool down the heat. It’s honestly delicious! A must try when you visit or order!
We went in and placed an order for takeout. When we got home, we discovered the beef for our pho was raw.We called Pho 135 and rather than admit that this beef hadn't been cooked, they told us that it was "rare" and that we needed to cook it at home. Look at the photo and judge for yourself. They said that if we wanted our food cooked, we should have ordered it "ready to eat."Their menu says nothing about the need to request that they cook your food. The waitress who took our order didn't tell us that we'd have to cook our own dinner.Why would anyone pay a restaurant to cook only part of their meal? That would be like going to a burger joint and asking for a quarter pounder to go, only 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 purchased the ingredients myself.We were hungry so we went ahead and cooked the food ourselves. It wasn't good. We won't be back.

The beef in pho is cooked by the hot broth. Anyone complaining that their beef is raw has obviously never had pho before, or at the very least have never had it for take out.We haven't actually tried this place before, but we have heard very good things from our friends. Will come in to dine soon and update then.

Wow! I'm full! Pho was excellent. The broth is delicious and it's a great vehicle for all of the goodies you can throw in it. I went with rare beef and brisket. I also got the spring rolls which were fantastic, two huge rolls with tons of veggies and two large shrimp. Really can't ask for a better soup and spring roll. Will definitely be coming back.

Food was honestly really good and filling! I had the Nuoc Mam Wings (5 Pieces) & Special Vermicelli. The only hiccup was that I asked to to be served with no red meat at all. Once my food came out we noticed the spring contained pork inside. Servicer apologized replaced immediately! (Spring roll was replace with chicken and additional shrimp!!) The service was great! Definitely did a really good job overall.

Stopped in on our way through town. Experience was very good. I enjoyed the Spring rolls which were actually summer rolls. Rice paper wrap. Peanut sauce was really different. More hoisen and a little spicy. Egg rolls were Spring rolls. Very good too. Not sure about the naming oddities. Also had fried dumplings. They were tasty with the Thai chili sauce. Pho was very good, but they need to put more toppings in the baggies of mint and bean sprouts. Ask for extra. Tea service was by the cup not by the pot. Free refills though.Got a Banh Mi with pork to go. Very good as well.prices were a little elevated, but the value was there. Enjoy!
