Reviews for Pho Today Plainsboro in Plainsboro Township, NJ

I've been to the South Plainfield and Plainsboro location. Both are consistent with their dishes. I ordered take out of the... grilled pork over rice. This entree was salivating and met my expectations when it comes to Vietnamese food. Large dining room.Huge parking lot. I came here on a late Friday afternoon and did not have to wait to be served. 9.8/10 Read more

I?ve been looking for authentic, good pho in jersey and this really nailed it. The chicken pho was amazing. My dad got banh mi... and my sister got grilled pork vermicelli both which I tasted. Both were perfect. So excited to come back. Read more

We brought our family here recently . It was our first time. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The... atmosphere is bright and clean. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive, helpful, cheerful, and just perfect on allpoints. By the end of the meal we felt like we were long time special customers. My family can be very particular about theirfood, and were raised with Vietnamese cuisine as part of their staple diet. - They loved everything we had. The Chicken Pho wasperfect. The grilled pork vermicelli was outstanding. My husband?s favorite is a Banh Mi sandwich. He loves it and has alreadygone back for another. I highly recommend this restaurant!! Read more

My family was not from Vietnam but my husband and I both like good Vietnamese food and can tell if it's authentic. Pho Today has... a pretty decent menu selection and has quickly won our favoritism. Our 12 and 8 year olds are able to find something they liketoo, so it's become one of our go-to places for family dining. Speaking from an interior decorator's perspective, I agree withthe other reviewer about the lighting and music though, the current lighting is definitely too bright to induce a fine-diningexperience, should consider warmer and dimmer mood lighting and maybe play some low-volume French music?

Food were not bad. But more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants in central Jersey. Grill pork, grill beef and pork chop... were tasty. Shredded pork was also good. But egg quiche is cold and pork chop only come with white rice, can?t choose friedrice. Fish sauce is not good. The broth of the pho was ok, can get better. Bánh Mì has too much liver pate, tasted notbalanced. The restaurant is big, clean and bright. Read more

Been here a few times now and we really liked recommended options. The pho is great as well as the Bún ??c Bi?t. The staff are... attentive and kind too! Read more

I recommend the special Pho (P2) which I find quite authentic, or rice dishes which are generally always decent. Servers aren?t... always attentive but food is good Read more

This place is short staffed. I understand now is the era of resignation and job hopping, but it becomes annoying. You wait so... long to be served, then you find the broth was not hot enough, then you wait another half an hour to get the bill. I want tosupport local business and my people cuisine but the staffing issue really gets to me. Which is a waste because, done correctly,their pho and bun bo Hue were good, flavorful and authentic. Two more things I should note are about the ambience. First theroom is too bright for a restaurant setting. It is more like an office. Darker and warmer lighting helps people enjoy food more.And second, the choice of music is so poor. If you have enough attentiveness to put together a correct Vietnamese menu and teachstaff to pronounce those words, then why cheapen the experience with western pop music of which lyrics are loaded with vulgarslang.
