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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Very small establishment, food cooked to order. Will definitely be back for more. I ate in and took another dish for later.

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 ๐Ÿ˜….

While its not a glamorous spot, I don't care, the food makes up for it in every shape & form!

It's a very small spot but the flavors and speed of service is good. Will go back. We had beef pho and the size and price unbeatable. Best pho I've tried.

The BEEF larb and PHO beef is SOO GOOD!! The owner is super kind, and makes the Best Pho in all of RI and the price is unbeatable. I will be back again. This is now my go-to pho spot. You rock Pho Zap Zap! ๐Ÿ‘

Impeccable. After the dry desert that is the upstate New York/Capital District, finding this oasis filled me with a sense of rejuvenation and incredible soup.

There are few things better than a "hole in the wall" soup spot with a few tables in a small dining room with a husband and wife in the kitchen.
I was the first one in for lunch, the wife quickly made sure I had a clear table with all of the typical pho accoutrements. I ordered the beef jerky, regular sized pho zapzap(similar to a dac biet) and a bottle of water. Tax and tip included was $28 even.
The jerky came out hot and aromatic. The marinade was savory and salty with a hint of fish sauce and herbs. I would definitely order this again but due to the slight fish sauce taste could see it putting some people off.
The regular pho zap zap was as big as my head. It had beef, tripe, and meatballs. The broth was delicate and flavorful.
The owners were super friendly and VERY proud of their restaurant and product.
I cannot wait to come back.
