Casual dining area with good food. Staff is friendly and the food does not have too much msg taste either. Am able to finish the entire broth without mouth being too salty. The price is decent too especially the bahn mis read more

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine! Prepared nicely and generous. Food came out fast. I didn't try the pho. But I sure will when the weather turns cooler and I like a hot soup! They have vegan broth as well. Good to know if you're vegetarian or you don't prefer chicken or beef or pork broth. They have some tofu choices as well. Very nice server. Casual and clean restaurant. We will be back! read more

Stopped here with a friend for lunch today. Located in a plaza off Maple Road. A little hard to find. Pretty dumpy looking place from the outside and in. The food was a little disappointing. The Fresh Spring Rolls rapper was tough and the peanut sauce wasn't very good. My friend didn't care for his dumplings. He liked his Fried Rice diss and my Pho was decent. Service was spot on. read more

I hold one star back because the place is small and dingy. The waitress was kind of strange and I don't know whether she understands what you're talking about. However, the food was good. I had a side order of pork belly to go with my grilled pork and vermicelli dish and it was good. Husband had the beef Pho special -he enjoyed it. Prices are reasonable and service was OK. read more

Wow, what an amazing meal. I LOVE Vietnamese food, and Anchi A LA Carte did not disappoint at all. The fresh ingredients and herbs were outstanding, and it's tough to find a place that gives you all the traditional toppings. We ordered a pork banh mi, a beef lemongrass vermicelli dish, garlic cream cheese bread, and spicy beef pho. All were cooked perfectly, and the beef pho broth had a deep beef flavor with just the right amount of spice. The vermicelli dish was full of flavor, and I loved all the fresh cilantro and basil. The garlic bread was good but not something I would regularly order. It had more of a breakfast danish dough consistency that was tasty but a little dry. We loved the food here and I highly recommend it. That pho broth was so good and I want a gallon of it! read more

this is one of my go to Vietnamese restaurants in the area. a smaller restaurant that is tucked away in the AMC, tea leaf plaza. my go to order is the bun bo hue (sometimes with pho noodles instead of the traditional vermicelli) and a thai green tea. the garlic bread is also super yummy to share as an appetizer! the soup is usually always super flavorful and have good portions as well. they have cucumber/lemon water available for people at a little self serve station and the servers are also very welcoming and orders come up pretty fast. would recommend to anyone who loves viet food! read more

The food is incredible here and the prices are decent! The waitstaff was extremely accommodating and gave us suggestions on what to order. I absolutely loved my experience here. It's a small restaurant, but we got lucky and had a beautifully set up table for ourselves. It's quiet and warm in there, which made me comfort and happy. I suggest getting their Vietnamese iced tea. Come here with friends or family and you'll have a marvelous time. Just don't bring a huge group as there probably won't be room for you. read more

The food was good. Service was fast. We were never offered a drink (we did see some cups and a water dispenser by the door on our way out). The place was filthy! There were so many good reviews so we were surprised at how filthy the place was. I would not go back as we were worried if it was that dirty out from what did their kitchen look like? The one star was because the food was good. I couldn't get past the filthy conditions. read more

Greetings were friendly as soon as we stepped in. I was interested in a different fare than I normally find. My son and I had the pork belly and the trio meat banh mi sandwiches on excellent crispy shell soft inside rolls with a side of egg roll. Really enjoyed the dipping sauce. Could have used more. Dining room and bathroom were nicely clean. The store front really blends in to the building but it is there and open. Worth the effort to find. read more

I was in the area and craved some noodle soup. The waiter recommended spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup and it did not disappoint. It was a nice change from my usual. I also ordered Vietnamese ice coffee. They have a twist in it too. They added a bit of jelly and it was nice to have e a bit of slightly chewy jelly with the very strong and sweet coffee. Just the right drink after the noodle. I look forward to coming back to try other items. I also like their imitation bread display at the window. It made me want to try their banh mi with grilled pork. The service is surprisingly good. They even held up my coffee till after I finished my noodle soup because I asked for the coffee in to-go cup. Nice touch! read more

So, after longer than expected, we finally made it back here. We had friends visiting from out of town and knew they'd enjoy this place. I can tell you that the me u is much larger than our 1st visit. So many delicious dounding choices. We all ordered different items. My husband got Vietnamese pork noodle soup which included pork, shrimp, quail eggs, amongst other items. The definite star on the table! Also ordered was shrimp pho, and 2 different noodle dishes. Everything dish tasted even better than they looked! All with super fresh ingredients that were cooked properly and loaded with flavor. The seating is limited and certainly not fancy. Certainly very clean. There's only a handful of tables. We were the only customers eating inside. Several people came in to pick up takeout. Service was good. Excellent meal. 2023-59 read more

We ordered take out -- special pho/pho dac biet and spicy beef noodle soup/bun bo hue. The special pho was very sweet. It was not bad but just not the flavor profile we are used to. We are from Northern California and our parents are from Vietnam, so it is pretty hard for us to find the kind of pho we like outside of CA. The spicy beef noodle soup was more like pho with siracha. It was still tasty and I finished it but not in love with it. The noodles were extremely over cooked :( Sadly, not likely to come back for pho or BBH but we will come and try other things like their vermicelli, rice bowls, and banh mi :) read more

Excellent Rare Beef Pho and Pork Banh Mi. Just wish restaurant was located in a location that is more spacious.

Tables, walls and floor are incredibly dirty... so the kitchen probably is too! I wanted to leave but my husband said that meant it is probably good?! Service was quick & food was decent but it turned my tummy trying to eat in filth So I just didn't. The reviews lead us here and I am incredibly disappointed! read more

I was excited to come to Anchi a La Carte with friends as I'd only ever done take-out before. Their take-out food has always been fresh, fast and delicious so I excited to try dining in! Anchi a la carte has a small, cafe vibe with home-y decor. They offer a variety Vietnamese dishes and desserts. The menu seemed to be a bit different and offer different dishes/desserts than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The staff very attentive and quickly took our order. I went with the hot plate / baguette and a Vietnamese coffee. We also got a free garlic bread since our party had spent over $30 which was so nice! The hot plate came out sizzling and warm and the iced coffee was tasty and super refreshing. The hot plate also came with a baguette that I was able to put the meat and egg on to create my own sandwich! I've also had their pho and pork belly as takeout which was some of the best pho I've had in town! Overall we had a pleasant experience at Anchi a la carte with tasty food and next time I can't wait to try more of the unique Vietnamese desserts they offer! read more

Excellent food, generous portions for the price. Got the Ultimate Beef Pho and it was a huge portion. I was very hungry and still barely finished. read more

Was craving Vietnamese food and saw this spot has a lot of good reviews. To start, water is self serve, there's orange infused water or lime infused. The Vietnamese coffee is pretty strong and the cream made it unique. I enjoyed this as it's pretty different than what we have in Canada. We order the beef pho, rice bowl with crispy pork belly, and the vermicelli with grilled beef. The beef pho was standard and what I expected. The crispy pork is pretty crunchy and taste good. The skin was a tad vid hard though. The vermicelli had a great portion of meat and noodles and vegetables. I wished there was a little bit more radish though and if the fish sauce was a bit more sweet and sour. Overall, this spot is good to drop by. There's not much Vietnamese restaurants around here and this one is the most authentic I've seen in buffalo. read more

Fried Pork Dumplings - 4 per order. Pretty Tasty Grilled Chicken Vermicelli Bowl -/ tasty but Chicken was very dry. Could have used a sauce on the chicken Beef Stir Fry with Egg noodles - noodles were similar to those used in LoMein. Not alot as much ,eat as what was in the chicken dish so my husband ate this up and finished my chicken dish We are going to try this place again. So many people raved about it but we only had a so so experience. Will update after 2nd try read more

Loved the food and the service. The reasons for 4 rather than 5 stars: the water dispenser and the sauce containers were sticky on the outside, need cleaning. And, the flatware was disposable rather than reuseable. The bathroom was very clean. The vermicelli bowl with grilled vietnamese sausage was simply delicious and filling! The sausage was flavorful, rather than relying on heat. had a difficult time deciding b/t that and the pho, so will have pho next visit. The sauces that you can add if you'd like were spicy hot, but the milder one was good for me. Service was prompt and friendly. Several tables, for eating in, but it is a small place, so not suitable for a large group. It's located along the sweet home rd side of that plaza. read more

Anchi a la carte off Maple is a fantastic, authentic Vietnamese place! We order the pho (#13) and the pork belly vermicelli (#30). Both were very flavorful. The broth on the pho tasted super yummy and clean. The vermicelli had lots of veggies which gave it great texture - coupled with the pork belly was great. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. We'll be back for sure! read more

Saw an article about this place or I never would have known it existed. If I was standing 15 feet from the door I wouldn't have either. Tucked away in a plaza near AMC Theatre with next to no signage indicating what it was.... The food was outstanding! Only my 3rd or 4th dabble into Vietnamese food and this will be my go to for it going forward. Prices were super reasonable and portions were nice too. Wife loved the Pho, Bahn Mi was incredible, crispy pork belly spring rolls were great. First time trying the Vermicelli bowl and I thought it was amazing. Hot chili oil sauce on the table was ... I highly recommend you give this cute little local restaurant a try when your in the Northtowns. Sorry about the menu pics. Forgot until I was walking out. read more

This place had the best pho and Bahn mi sandwhiches I've had in a while! It's a small place, but the decor is super cute inside. I started with a Vietnamese coffee and it was sweet and yummy! There was coffee jelly at the bottom which I've never had before but was great. The chicken Bahn mi flavor was outstanding. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. This and the pho were both super fresh. The broth for the pho was super flavorful and they did not skimp on the veggies in my tofu pho. Overall I will definitely be back! read more

Quaint little restaurant. Only thing I would knock is not have regular beverages but they do have water set up - one had lemons in it and the other had oranges. Not really a fan but is a nice touch.

I can't believe I never tried this place until the other week and it's been open for a bit. It's right next to tea leaf. A small location with seating inside. I first came upon this place during the Asian cultural festival at canalside during the summer and been wanting to come and try the food. I ordered the bun bo hue and honestly probably one of the better ones I had around buffalo area. It has a good amount of spice and flavoring to it. I did enjoy the portion size as well. My husband ordered the regular pho and he really liked it which I also did try and it was pretty delicious. Will come back and my friend was also the one who recommended this place along with the bun Bo hue read more

Worth all the hype for sure! (takeout) Inside setting: very clean, cute & intimate. Vietnamese coffee: I usually don't like boba/jelly but wow this was great! If you love strong flavorful coffee it's for you. Green Thai tea: I'm a huge Thai tea drinking and I enjoyed trying a green one for the first time. It was fruity and flavorful! Lemongrass beef noodle soup: lots of fresh ingredients and meat. Good flavor broth! Best with the hoisin and sirracha packets they give you. I'll definitely be back again to try more! read more

Really cute restaurant a little on the smaller side but there was only 2 of us so no problem there. Really amazing flavorful broth for both dishes that we got. We had the bun Bo hu and the special pho which were the highlight of our meal. We started of with the Vietnamese ice coffees which were strong(as it Should be) and so tasty! The fresh spring rolls could have had a little bit more meat in it but were very tasty and my husband loved his fried spring rolls. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes!
