Just returned from a first experience at Pho Delight. The food was outstanding, plentiful, fresh and hot! Service was excellent and I can't wait to return.

Outstanding. We've eaten there several times...loved their curries, the crisp-outside soft-inside flavorful chive pancakes, lovely flavors of chicken raam, and the textures and sweetness of the thai custard. The best Thai restaurant we've eaten at, including during years living in the Bay Area [CA]. We like the simple tasteful decor and service to boot.

The food, service, and vibe of this restaurant are all excellent! I’d suggest the Chicken Raam and the Thai custard. Everything is really fresh and delicious. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in CT.

This place is CRAZY good. Like, seriously impressive. We had all types of food, and it was probably the best Thai I’ve had. We even got a salmon dish, and it was the greatest salmon I’ve had, cooked to perfection. The meat was succulent and crispy. Even the boba was outrageous. I HIGHLY recommend this place, and the service was amazing.

Louise and I set out to run some errands in Willi and then get some fast food, but as we approached those familiar arches the sense of impending dread in our souls welled up like an overflowing sewer. "Let's drive down Main Street and see what's open," my wife chimed, so off we went. A few minutes later we quickly spotted Pho Delight, circled around to park, and headed on in. The friendly staff greeted and seated up immediately. Their dining room and bar areas were tidy and comfortable with about a dozen tables, and they were doing a pretty decent business for a cold and rainy Wednesday night. The menu had a familiar mix of Thai dishes, along with a section of soups and various kinds of pho. We decided to keep things familiar for a first visit, ordering appetizers of spring rolls and coconut shrimp, and for entrees a bowl of beef pho and yellow chicken curry, all to share. The appetizers came out quickly and piping hot straight from the fryer. Spring rolls were crunchy with a fresh veggie filling, accompanied by the usual sweet-and-fishy dipping sauce. Coconut shrimp really smelled and tasted like fresh coconut and were also perfectly cooked with a clean shrimpiness; their dipping sauce was a sriracha-infused mayo. The pho was a generous bowl of broth, noodles, scallions, cilantro, and beef slices, with the customary accompaniments of basil, bean sprouts, sliced hot peppers, and a lime wedge. The yellow curry was a rich coconut-milk based sauce swimming with slices of chicken, onions, carrots, and potatoes, along with a side of jasmine rice. Both entrees were simply terrific, executed and seasoned perfectly with a clean, clear mouth feel. Chatting with our server we learned that the restaurant had been here for a few years, but very recently was sold to a new owner who redecorated the dining room and redesigned the menu. That owner, a young man named Sitta, introduced himself and told us of his upbringing in southern Thailand and subsequent graduate studies in China (he speaks English well, along with Mandarin and his native Thai). When I mentioned that it seemed out of place for a Thai restaurant to serve pho, he reassured us that pho is common street food in Thailand, and that their Thai version is generally simpler and has fewer ingredients than Vietnamese pho. I guess you learn something new every day -- in any case, the pho here is delicious and can compete with any similar soup I've ever had. All in all a great experience and we're going to have to dine here again and explore the menu more deeply. Highly recommended... I just hope that success doesn't overwhelm and spoil this little gem.

I love Pho Delight! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are all very personable. I love the noodle soups like the Pho and the Tom Yum. The servings are large, with fresh ingredients, and the flavor is delicious.

Had the honor of dining with one of the new owners so I may be biased, but thoroughly enjoyed my meal.  I sampled three different appetizers. The crab rangoons and shrimp were tasty and nicely fried. And the summer rolls, stuffed with fresh vegetables were delish with the accompanying peanut sauce.  For my main course I decided to order Pad Thai, a dish I am familiar with and it did not disappoint. I have tried making my own, but clearly the Thai nationals who cook here have secrets I and other restaurants don't possess.I look forward to returning to sample the Pho and a curry and the mango fresh milk.  There is so much to choose from that I can't wait to return.
