SO FREAKING GOOD! The beef pho, the pork eggrolls, the thai tea! Amazing. And shout out to the guy (im assuming owner) He’s always there killing it. Please give it a try and support your local mom and pops 🍲

The food: delicious and fairly priced. The atmosphere: small, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. The money dish: Lao sausage. Everything was great, but I could've ordered three servings of the Lao sausage because it was that good!

I would travel to Lowell, Ma just for a few Bahn Mi subs. Had to make it worth the ride lol. Well one day I took the drive only to find that they had closed. So I’ve been in search for a new location a little closer to me and came across Pho Zap Zap. Called in my order, picked it up, went home happy.

This little hole in the wall offered up some of the best pho I've EVER had. Enormous portion sizes (as usual for pho), very reasonable prices, and wonderful, flavorful broth. The nam chow were fresh and perfect, with an incredible thin peanut dipping sauce that wasn't syrupy or sticky. Service is efficient and no-frills, as is the space. When we walked in, we immediately knew we were gonna get good food, and we absolutely were not disappointed. This is just jtwonladies in a little kitchen cooking some of the best food you'll ever eat fresh and to order. 10/10 will be back to try the Laotian sausages.

Bought 2 large pho zapzap.
The quality was meh. Portion was small, even though paying extra for large. I could only imagine how a small is.
The broth was a bit off...

I discovered this gem driving from NY to MA and I always make a stop in Providence. I can say it was probably the best Pho I’ve ever had,(and I’ve had it across the country) the owners cook and serve and are welcoming. If you’re looking for Pho, look no further. Amazing.

My mom treated me to lunch here and it was a great Laotian experience! Coming from a half Laotian girl who was only raised on her Cambodian side. The highlight was probably the green bean salad dish with sticky rice. Owner and his wife were lovely, interacting with us. When we came in, it was empty but quickly got packed once we were ready for the check.
Hope you guys consider expanding, thank you!

Incredibly tasty food. Small dining room, obviously serves a lot of takeout customers. Still people waited till I was done eating and people after me, so the drive is there.
I had the Thai sausage and the Pho Zap Zap and it was great 👍👍
Very small establishment, food cooked to order. Will definitely be back for more. I ate in and took another dish for later.
Awesome food!!
Definitely a 'hole in the wall' kind of spot, but has the BEST Pho!
I have been searching for a place with Pho that has a thicker broth, and this place has it! We stopped by around 5pm on a Friday, and they were honestly pretty busy with pick-up orders, but still were very nice and took our orders. They have all the condiments (Hoisin, Siracha, lime, you name it) which was very nice, and the first sip of Pho literally made me *sigh* with happiness. I then could not stop eating, and even forgot to take photos 😅.
While its not a glamorous spot, I don't care, the food makes up for it in every shape & form!
