Pho Ethan - Wallingford

I discovered this Vietnamese spot one day by accident!! It was like I had found treasure! Their menu offers all the staples one would need to have a full Vietnamese experience. The Pho is tasty and with generous portions. The Ban Mi sandwiches are ridiculously good. I recommend the chicken or beef, which are freshly prepared and grilled to perfection. I have had the opportunity to try their Vietnamese BBQ, which you cook directly at the table on a grill built into the table. It's a lot of fun, and very tasty. Best of all, their prices are really reasonable.I enjoy going to the restaurant, and its nice to see the owner, who sometimes comes out to smile and say hello when time permits. Finally, you know you are in good hands when you look around and notice many Asian clients. This is a great spot to try if you want to try a new Asian cuisine. The waitstaff is friendly and the atmosphere is also nice. Try the Ban Mi sandwich!! You won't regret it.

Seafood Pho. Great flavor, spice and fresh veggies, bean sprouts, basil and lime. Scallops were little bay, good taste. Shrimp were medium size and good quality. Fish was a very chewy, but fresh, just a little weird. Service was attentive. 5 stars except for the fish.

Huge portions! A lot of slurping! First visit was pretty good. Quick service...probably because we were one of three tables. That kind of worried me at first but the food came out quick. Shrimp spring rolls were fresh and yumm. Loved the dipping sauce. I found out I am not a fan of quails eggs! Lol I try everything once. Overall a good experiences. I don’t live close but if I’m in the area and hungry, I would go again.

This restaurant is really outstanding. Service is very friendly and efficient, but best part is the food. Unlike many Asian/Thai/Chinese places that load up on sugar salt, the food at Pho Ethan is full of many wonderful and memorable tastes and flavors, that succeed on their own merit. We have been there many times, have sampled most of the menu, and have always had a great experience. Check this place out.

Great chicken pho (grilled chicken) and they did an amazing job packing it to go. I ordered during the pandemic and was a bit hesitant that the ingredients wouldn’t be separated which would ruin the dish w soggy noodles, soft bean sprouts and etc. Either way, I went for it and was so impressed by the fact that everything was packaged in separate bags of containers. Soup was piping hot, chicken had a nice complimenting flavor, bean sprouts/ jalapeños were crunchy and noodles were al dente. Great job and will 100% be back!
