    Grilled chicken summer rolls
    Giuliana G.

    The food was fresh, fast, and piping hot. I especially loved the summer rolls with grilled chicken and peanut sauce. The service was prompt, polite, and no frills, which I appreciated. Even on a 93° day it was busy and the majority of tables were occupied with people who wanted the delicious pho for lunch. It's not a fancy atmosphere but everything was still clean and the natural light makes for a nice ambiance.

    This place is very popular. I've been here a couple times now and there is always a line of people waiting. It's a small venue, a bit cramped, but the food is tasty. They've got your typical Vietnamese dishes, but since it's called "Midtown Pho," I, of course, had to order their pho. The broth was fantastic, and I did not feel super thirsty after the meal so it is not super heavy on the MSG. Good portion sizes too. The only issue was that this place gets so popular, it's difficult to flag someone when needed, including asking for the check.

    So glad we stopped here for lunch while in the area. Midtown Pho is a popular spot with good lighting and an energizing atmosphere. The food is excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and varied. The portions are large and prices reasonable. I chose the vegetarian summer rolls and vermicelli noodle tofu. I'm looking forward to returning!

    Broth was very good and had tons of flavor. The rare beef was tender and really was a huge portion for the price. Plenty of bean sprouts, basil and jalapeños on the side. Service was good and the pho came out quick. Would definitely go back

    Rice in the rice dish was cold and stiff though overall was good. Several in our group noted the ramen broth as good. Seating is limited for this popular place. Parking is limited.

    I love Midtown Pho! I am very picky, i get no meat, spicy beef pho! It's sooo delicious, flavors burst in your mouth! Very spicy but i can stand it! Haha! Thanks Midtown Pho, for a delicious meal, every single time! Oh yeah, i love your Thai Tea too! Byee!

    For 2 orders... fresh and plenty!

    Great broth, chili sauce (ask for it) is well done. Plenty of garnishments. Decent amount of protein. Not on the cheap side but Pho is best I've found so far !

    Fried soft shell crab
    Dina L.

    What friendly staff! The space is nicely decorated with breezy. The pho is pretty good, definitely the best I've had in the Triangle, albeit a little sweet. Portions are good. The soft shell crab was a disappointment though. It came with veggies not scallions and was plated differently than usual. The batter was thick and crunch. It soothed by craving but I probably won't return.

    This is hands-down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the triangle area. They have a great story that's plastered on the restaurant wall and are so accommodating toward vegetarian/vegan customers. I always go for the tofu summer rolls and vermicelli noodle tofu dish - so delicious and never disappoints! Their vegan pho broth is mild and not my favorite so would not recommend that unless you put your own sauce mixture into it. My friend said the beef broth was quite tasty though. The restaurant is quite popular on the weekends, so I would recommend going on off times on the weekdays or getting there early to get on the waitlist - trust me, it's worth the wait!

    food is good. The atmosphere is very cute. Decorated in Vietnamese environment service a friendly, and very efficient. Are they recommended

    Beef Pho Combo (Pho Dac Biet)
    Cathy C.

    Decor is fresh and chic with the high ceiling. Service was great and quick, we got the soft shelled crab appetizer and it was crispy and delicious. We also got a Bun Rieu (IYKYK ) and pho. The pho broth is flavorful and clear, toppings plentiful. The BBH had all the fixings and if there was blood cake it would be complete. Highly recommend!!

    Sliced Rare Beef Pho (Pho Tai)
    Gab G.

    Came for lunch on a Saturday and had a great meal here! They were able to accommodate our large party, which was appreciated. I tried: + Fried pork spring rolls + Iced Vietnamese coffee + Sliced rare beef pho + original banh mi All of the food was excellent. Definitely recommended for Vietnamese food in the area.

    Rare beef Pho
    Toshi I.

    This is a popular place and I can see why. The Hubs needed his pho fix and was not disappointed. Rare steak was tender and the broth was on point. I was searching for Banh cuon and was disappointed it wasn't in the menu. The server steered me towards Banh Xeo, a large vegetable-laden pancake. I selected the shrimp version. Absolutely loved taking some minty Thai basil leaves, a piece of the pancake, wrapping it with lettuce with my chopsticks (sometimes dropping it!) and then dipping it into the sauce. The Shrimp Spring rolls were a great stater too. Would definitely be back!

I ordered the whipped ricotta for an appetizer to share and a burger with fries for my entree. The whipped ricotta was ok. It would taste better with some sort of seasoning in it. My fries were served hot but needed some salt. I asked for my burger to be cooked well done but I was brought a burnt burger. I took one bite but it was too overcooked. I then requested that my server have my burger be cooked medium well so I didn't get another burnt burger. When my burger was brought back out, our server had me cut into my burger to make sure it was to my liking. The preparation was better but it was bland and tasted like there wasn't any seasoning on it. After this our server wasn't as attentive anymore. For dessert we got the donuts. They were served warm and I enjoyed them with the cherry sauce. I did not like the chocolate sauce that was served with the donuts.

I am compelled to remind every resident and every visitor to make this a "must go to and enjoy" place for either brunch on Saturday or Sunday, or for dinner any night of the week. Go for the amazing cuisine, vast wine list, and stay for the outstanding service! Recently, we have found ourselves trying not to enjoy just our go-to favorites that are mainstays on the ever-evolving menu. We have been blown away by the flavors of the large plate option called Chicken Pimientos. Don't let the name throw you, because it's not super spicy, it just has a nice kick to it with delicious potatoes accompanying the very moist and flavorful chicken. The way the kitchen team at Barcelona handles the preparation of the eggplant caponata is impressive and very unique. Other favorites on the tapas section of the menu recently are stuffed piquillos, corn zucchini bunuelos (think fair food turned healthy!), Wagyu carpaccio, lamb kofta, and pulpo gallego. Remember that their tapas offerings rotate in and out, oftentimes based on the season and availability of fresh products. The wine offerings are unparalleled in the city of Raleigh, and when you visit for dinner on a Monday evening, every bottle is half-priced. Can't beat that for a way to jump-start your work week! We tend to sit at the bar on most visits as bartenders Kira and Cameron truly handle their bar with a welcoming vibe and impressive ease. General manager Jed is a visible leader of this great team and makes every guest feel appreciated. Awesome job all the way around!

I keep telling my husband that he just shouldn't order paella in the US anymore. The manager was extremely accommodating and offered many options to help! The aperitivo board was divine. The items were bursting with flavors. My favorites were the marcona almonds, the aged manchego, and the potatas bravas. The table bread and oil were also fresh and delicious. There was another dish that I'm not sure if we ordered or if it was included, but the fish flavor was too strong for me so I passed on that. My husband enjoyed it though. I'd love to try some different menu options for our next visit.
