    Robot waiter!
    Gaby T.

    I was privileged to find this gem from a yelp event I attended. The first thing to note is the service...this restaurant owner was the kindest restaurant owner I have ever met! I felt like he was welcoming me into the restaurant like I was family. Everyone at the event was perfectly attended to for all needs and with the kindest demeanor. The food was also brought out by a robot! Which was a really cool and fun experience :) For the food...we tried a few staples and then I had to try a few more by taking some food home. We first started with the mini vegetarian spring rolls. These were super crispy and light and served with a lovely, sweet sauce that balanced the flavors nicely. Then, because we were a large group, we got a "build your own" banh mi sandwich platter. I am not sure if they do this for the regular sandwiches, but I liked the approach; it was fun! I was able to add as much cucumber, carrots, cilantro and jalapenos as I wanted to my sandwich. The bread was also soft but slightly crunchy (a sign of a great Vietnamese sub roll). Lastly, we were served chicken fried rice. I do appreciate how much chicken and egg they put in this rice! However, my only critic would be that the flavor was slightly lacking in the dish... Then, to fully review a Vietnamese restaurant, I need to try their pho and summer rolls. We got the sirloin and brisket pho, and shrimp summer rolls to-go. This pho was packaged so nicely, with the meat component being in a separate bag from the other accompaniments. The broth was also SO FLAVORFUL! The summer rolls were also very authentic and served with a sweet umami peanut butter sauce that you HAD TO double dip into (haha). A great Vietnamese restaurant found in the middle of Pennsylvania...I will be returning!

    Unexpectedly delicious pho passing through PA! Friendly service, including the robot, and good portions. Hit the spot on a cold winter evening.

    Service was pleasant when ordering takeout, and I really wanted to like the place but.... noticed a few things. Their broth of the pho P1 that we ordered was good, but the toppings were mostly just veggies, and was lacking meats (1 meat ball, 3 pcs of sliced thin meat, 2 tiny tendons, and 2 very small pcs of sliced beef). Stingy. I enjoy tendon, so I thought they would be large like other places. It wasn't, it was 2 small pcs of tendon, of which I ordered extra 2 for almost $4, so I actually had 4 tiny pcs. Also, they were extremely hard/too chewy, didn't enjoy it, tendon is usually not as hard as theirs. The MOST disappointing thing there was their Spring Roll. For $7, it shouldn't become gooey, and fall apart as it did. See photos. Overall, disappointed, as their ratings are 4.8!! Low standards, I'd say. Didn't eat in but ambiance seemed clean, but nothing extraordinary or special about the restaurant. We won't be going again as there are better places.

    The perfect lunch stop on our road trip! Food: excellent pho with super flavorful anise and really balanced and nuanced broth with high quality brisket, thinly sliced beef, flavorful tendon, great meatballs, and very fresh herbs; Banh xeo crepe is very flavorful and perfectly crispy without being oily, perhaps the best I've ever had; fresh summer rolls (called spring rolls here) with shrimp pork and noodles Service: very friendly, efficient, no complaints! Cozy and clean interior, completely shaded open air patio outside, which is adjacent to the patio for the bar across the way which plays loud but good music. They seem to have some robot to deliver dishes to tables! We were outside so we didn't get to see it in action.

    Service: super friendly owner & water server :) Food/drinks: decent Vietnamese dishes. Egg coffee was really good. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you're in the area.

    Pho...it was take-out, purple bowl is mine!

    First timer came to pick up some Yelp swag for a virtual event on a day they are typically closed (thanks for opening for us Yelpers!!) I had a hard time finding it at first, as it is situated on the second story between Aroogas and the rest of the Plaza, not seen from the parking lot. But once I knew to walk up the steps, it was right there. They offered to fill to-go orders so I ordered some Crispy Spring Rolls (K1), Pho with 3 kinds of meat and Beef Fried Rice. This is easily some of the best Pho I've had in the area--flavorful broth and super fresh ingredients to add to it. The spring rolls were light and crispy with delicious filling. My fiancé enjoyed his Beef Fried Rice as well. A huge thanks to Kristina, the Yelp Community Manager, for her generosity in providing us each with complimentary chicken or shrimp fried rice, which also came with a few extras (spring roll and shrimp). The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Can't wait to return!

    Thanks for being open on a Monday for our Yelp pick up. I drove 45 minutes and glad I did, the food I got, C4 and C5 was delicious! The coconut shrimp, were banging! I would definitely stop in again if I am in the area!

    I visited this restaurant as a part of a Yelp event and was excited to try a new Pho restaurant in the area. When I entered, the location appeared super clean and well maintained. What shocked me most about the service was there is a ROBOT that delivered food to the tables! OMG! I had the chicken fried rice, beef fried rice, crab ragoons and an assortment of other finger foods. Although I did not taste the Pho, everything I tasted was flavorful and based off this experience I would recommend.

    Pho # 1 is Pho-nomenal. I attended an event here and had a chance to sample a few things. I tried the Banh Mi Beef and added the pickled carrots. It also came with jalapeños, cilantro and cucumbers. But I didn't want all of that on my sandwich. I also had Chicken Dumplings,Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon, Chicken Fried Rice and fried shrimp. Everything was super delicious and they even make their lemonade from scratch. It's the perfect balance of flavor. Not too sweet and not too tart. They have a robot that runs the food and drinks to the tables. It was cool to experience. I had no room for dessert but next time I'm there I want to try the ice cream rolls. Fresh food and great customer service. I definitely recommend Pho #1

    HERSHEY/HARRIBURG, PA BANANA SPLIT SPOT!…read more Get Yo' Creamie on HERE! With Friendly's disappearing from the Downtown Hershey Scene, where do you go for ice cream these days?!? You figure there'd be something in Chocolate Town USA that would blow your mind, but... surprisingly, not really. To get your creamie cravings satisfied, Thee Spot is 3 B! Located on Derry St. in between downtown Harrisburg and downtown Hershey! Since the early 2000s, once I learned the lay of the land, 3 B has been my favorite, during their open months! Yelp directions are on point, and note, It is not in any strip mall, this spot is a converted humble abode into an Ice Cream Haven! Dedicated parking space and street parking also. Lots of spaced out benches to enjoy your goods in the sun. Staff is patient, friendly & helpful and definitely gives the most generous scoops of any creamery in Chocolate Town! Oh yeah, Let's EAT! BANANA SPLIT: Biggest size Split in the region! Its Ice Cream Tray is big, scoops are big, toppings are generous... that's the way it was back in early 2000s and it still holds true today, 2026!!! Total bang for your buck. Their ice cream sources these days are local vendors Gallagher's & Lieby's. My scoops for today's Split was CHOCOLATE ALMOND, MooseTracks, and STRAWBERRY! Each one chunky with additives, flavors were delightful, and toppings were generous! As always, I Loved it! Still as good as 20 years ago! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! During their open months, 3 B is truly the best spot for ice cream in Chocolate Town & PA's Capital! Enjoy!

    Great soft serve ice cream. Love the seasonal blueberry sundaes. Big variety of hand scooped…read moreflavors to pick from also.

The reason for the 3 stars is as follows: The pancake batter has too much baking soda. I got a taste without the Nutella and strawberry and I could taste the bitter baking soda in the background. I couldn't finish eating the mini pancakes. I was disappointed that they lacked that delicious Mexican vanilla flavor in the batter. I hope that they consider adding it and scale back on baking soda. I ordered two waffle sticks with dulce de leche and marzipan and strawberries. The sticks are about 4" long and 1.3" wide, each is $5.75 not worth the price. Ordered a Mexican hot dog and that was the best dog I've had in a while. It was a fair price for the size and toppings that comes with it. I'm not much for jalapeños but eaten all together it was amazing and not too spicy. It was like a pickle with a kick! This location was easy to find but the parking lot was mostly filled since there are a lot of other happening businesses on this strip mall. Yum Yum has a soft colored decore and it was very clean. Hope they make those small changes to the batter so I can go try those mini pancakes again, and give more stars.
