Pho &Thai Westborough

Man, Pho Thai absolutely blew me away. From the second I walked in, I could smell that deep, spiced broth doing its thing, clove, star anise, all the good stuff that separates real pho from the weak imitators. I ordered the steak pho, and right away it was clear this place takes the craft seriously. The broth wasn’t just hot water with flavoring; it was alive, layered, rich, and clearly the result of someone who’s been perfecting this recipe for years. The steak was thin and tender, and it cooked perfectly right there in the bowl.

Here’s where things got wild: the fresh chili pepper on the table. I added about a half teaspoon, and it changed the whole dish. It opened up the flavor like flipping a switch, sweet, spicy, aromatic, every bite after that hit differently. It was one of those meals where you slow down just to make it last longer.

We also had the pineapple fried rice, and it was killer. You could tell the pineapple was fresh, not the canned stuff. Juicy, bright, and cut right before cooking. The rice was perfectly cooked, not greasy, and the chicken had that little snap that says “this was cooked right.”

Pho Thai feels both authentic and fresh, no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just great food made with care. The staff was super friendly, and the place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe.

If you think all pho tastes the same, this place will fix that belief fast. Best pho I’ve had in Massachusetts, no contest. I’ll be back for another bowl as soon as I can.

We stopped by wanting some warm phos without much high expectations due to the reviews. To our surprise, the food is delicious and authentic. We ordered their specialty noodles. We are all very satisfied with the warm and delicious noodles that are actually hard to find elsewhere.

Not very good food for an exorbitant price. There is cheaper and tastier Thai food out there, I will likely not be returning.

Total disaster. They are a total disaster. Orders take 3x longer than they say, are packed incomplete (order soup but forget the broth?!), and a line of angry customers trying to get refunds for food that’s so over due they can’t wait any longer. One dine-in customer who got up and came to take out counter: “we’ve been waiting an hour for our appetizer, are you going to bring it or can we get refunded”?

Find someplace else to go.

My husband and I stopped by for dinner yesterday. We got roti, Brussels sprouts, I got the Đặc Biệt and he got pad Thai. Everything was delicious and service was great. We’ll definitely be back.

Service is excellent, they were very attentive and they where constantly checking in.
I really liked the decoration of the restaurant.

My recent to-go order was disappointing. The crab Rangoon and chicken pad Thai were not good at all. The sweet chicken wings were great though. Fully cooked inside while still nice golden and crispy on the outside.

Ordered carryout pho and seafood soup. We weren’t given chopsticks or soup spoons. When we got home and started eating, we found a fly in my wife’s seafood soup, waste of $20

The food was average, but the service was terrible. I asked for a fork, and it arrived after I had already finished my meal. When I mentioned that I had requested it earlier, the response was, 'I remember, but I’m busy taking other orders.' There was no sense of order priority. Appetizers and soup were served after we had finished our main course.

Went right when they opened yesterday and it was a lovely experience. I love pho and my husband loves pad Thai, we ordered both with some summer rolls and had a fantastic meal! The peanut sauce was so great I wish I had more for the summer rolls. Cant wait to be back
