Stopped by for a late lunch…read more Open floor. No one was there seated, but it was around 2pm on a Friday. We were led to a table against the wall. Waiter was friendly and gave us some time to make our selections. I chose the egg roll, tangerine beef. Hubby chose the orange chicken. I asked the waiter if the soda came in a can. He said yes. We then waited for our meal. He returned quickly with my soda, in a glass with lots of ice. Not what I expected. But I guess I wasn't specific about my drink order. My egg roll was good. Cut decoratively in half at an angle, piping hot. Our food arrived shortly. Both plates were generous and came with white rice. Cut a portion in small pieces to taste with rice. Tasted so good, burned my tongue a little it was so hot. Ate a bit more, and that's when my mouth started burning up! The dish was a little more spicy than I expected. Tried to eat more, but it was too much for me. My hubby on the other hand was in his glory. He Loves heat. The spiciest the better. He tried mine and said it was just as spicy as his, which he loved. So, I just thought we would take mine home for him to enjoy later. I have to say it was good, before I had to cry uncle. So would definitely have to return for another try and let them know I can't take the spiciness. I did notice that the restaurant was busy with takeout orders. So I guess that's their main business. So I wouldn't say this was a cozy place. But the food is good. Lots of parking outside since they're next to a supermarket and liquor store. There weren't any 'lunch' specials, so this was over $50 with tip. By the way, lots to choose from the menu. I only took pictures of some pages.

We try to go to the Chinese New Year every year and picked this spot based on the 4.7 stars and…read moredescription of "cozy spot" in the restaurant write up. I got the Pho with duck, and my wife got the crispy duck dinner. Both dishes were "meh" at best. Below average. As far as service... it was harried and we were only one of two couples eating in this "NOT so cozy" restaurant. We went at 5:30 expecting to wait because it was small and "cozy" and it was Chinese New year. (1) no problem eating in during dinner hours (2) not a stitch of celebratory anything for Chinese New Year.. not even a place mat. No chinese noodles at the table and there was one continuous plain bench and brown tables (no table cloths) on the opposite side aka cafe style and cafeteria style seats. Hardly "cozy" at all. Overall high expectations, below average experience, ambiance and food.

The iced Vietnamese coffee is already premixed, but the hot version they give a side of the condensed milk so you can add as much or little you want. I tried their spring rolls which had a nice crisp bite. It was also served with pickled daikon and carrots for a nice refresher. For the entree I got the pho bo vein which had beef meatballs as the protein. The basil, jalapeño slices, bean sprouts and lime slice are on the side, so you can add as much to your liking. The noodles were nice and bouncy. The broth was light and flavorful. We always have great service every time we go. Definitely will be back in the future.

Four of us met for an early dinner at 4pm. It got busier as it got later so reservations may be best. The owner/host/server was the nicest guy, explained the menu in great detail and helped us with what to order. It was fantastic! Everything is made from scratch, and I mean everything! His mother in law is in the kitchen cooking like she's in her home country. We had fried wonton appetizer that was not greasy at all. Delicious and homemade. We also had coconut shrimp, they were jumbo shrimp and tasted great. For dinner I wish I could remember the exact names but I'll have to describe them. Grade A steak tips with salad - not your typical boring salad with steak on top. This was seasoned to perfection and came with an amazing dipping sauce of salt, pepper and lime. So good you will want to put that sauce on everything! Scallion pancake much like a crepe but crispy, filled with vegetables and your choice of protein (we had shrimp and pork) absolutely delicious! Lemongrass curry with beef - now this is not a big bowl of soup like curry, this is served in a dish with veggies and rice on the side. The flavor was incredible. I can't even explain it. You've got to order it. They are so passionate about the meals they prepare and it shows. Outstanding service and high quality food. Oh and let me give you a a tip, if you're not an alcoholic drinker they have homemade limeade and green tea. I suggest getting the limeade. You will never have better! So refreshing. So 2 appetizers, 4 dinners, 5 homemade limeades for $200 with a tip. Well worth it and will definitely be back!!!

If you think you've had great Greek food in Connecticut, go to The Greek in Bethel and recalibrate…read moreyour expectations. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. The restaurant is spotless. Not just tidy -- immaculate. The kind of clean that tells you the kitchen runs with discipline and pride. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the family who runs it greets you with genuine hospitality. You can see it in their faces. This is not just a business. This is their culture, their heritage, and their reputation on every plate. Now the food. I ordered the lamb gyro platter, and it was exactly what authentic Greek comfort food should be. The lamb was deeply savory, beautifully seasoned, and sliced generously. Tender, flavorful, and aromatic without being greasy or heavy. Every bite tasted balanced and intentional. This wasn't fast-casual gyro. This was traditional, done right. My wife had the Greek chicken Caesar, and it was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned with that unmistakable Mediterranean brightness. The greens were crisp, the flavors bold but clean. It felt fresh, not weighed down. We shared the falafel appetizer, and it disappeared quickly. Crisp golden exterior, tender and herbaceous inside, properly seasoned with real depth. Not dry. Not bland. Exactly how falafel should taste. Then came dessert. The rice pudding was creamy and comforting, subtly sweet, and clearly house-made. But the orange cake stole the night. Thin, delicate layers of phyllo soaked with honey and bright orange. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. It was light yet rich with citrus aroma, sweet but not overpowering. The kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite because it is that good. You do not rush this cake. You savor it. What truly sets The Greek apart is the authenticity of their ingredients. They import nearly everything from Greece -- herbs, spices, oils, vinegars. You can taste the difference immediately. The oregano has more fragrance. The olive oil has more character. The flavors are vibrant, alive, unmistakably Greek. This is not imitation. This is the real thing. And the pride shows. The family running the restaurant clearly cares about every detail, from food quality to customer service. They are friendly, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of their guests. It feels personal. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we would order next time. If you are anywhere near Bethel and you love authentic Mediterranean food, do not hesitate. Go to The Greek. Bring an appetite. Order dessert. And prepare to find what is easily the best Greek food in the area. We will absolutely be back.

On a cold day like today, I figured soup was a must, especially pho. And I know I harped about the pho broth in my previous Sprouts review due to the lack of flavor, but I figured I'd risk the long shot and try it again to see if my initial statement remained true. I ordered out this time around since I didn't have the time to dine in. I went with a small beef combo pho and a side of fresh shrimp spring rolls. The turnaround time from me paying to me actually receiving my food was about 10 minutes, which is pretty great, especially if you're in a rush to get back to work. Everything was packaged up nicely for me to carry back to my office. The amount of broth they give you for a small order didn't seem like much, but it filled out pretty well once all of the soup components were added. The beef, noodles, scallions, and white onions were packaged in one container, while the lime slice, bean sprouts, and basil were packaged separately in a Ziploc bag. The meal also came with a small container of hoisin sauce and sriracha combined, but it only seemed like the hoisin made the appearance. Once everything was added, I dug in. The broth was much better this time, with again, zero traces of MSG. My mouth wasn't questing for water after read more

First off, the place is very cute looking, great little painted mural of an adorable scenery and hanging from the ceiling. There are booths and tables and plenty of elbow room. The menu is your typical time menu. We ordered the Giza and my husband ordered the pineapple rice and I ordered the green curry. Pineapple chicken were not bad, had some good seasoning to it and good flavor. My husband's rice dish, which is pork fried rice was rather dry and pretty bland in terms of Thai food. He had to ask for sauce to give it a little more zip, so the waiter brought him sweet-and-sour sauce. It didn't do the trick, but it was better than what it was before. My dish was good, I got it with sticky rice, but it wasn't great like typical Thai food is. I got the itch to come here, and I got it out of me now and I'm all good...

Yesterday we ordered Pho and summer rolls, picked it up and when we arrived home we discovered that all the Pho accompaniments were missing. The summer rolls were all lettuce and when we called to explain the issue, we were told they would give us extra next time. Pho isn't Pho without the sprouts, jalapeño, hoisin etc...
