Pho Paradise is the best vietnamese restaurant in RI. We can enjoy the most authentic dishes of vietnamese cuisine.

I came from Boston and had lunch at Pho Paradise. Everything is much better than that at most Pho restaurants in Boston. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy Vietnamese food in Rhode Island.

Awesome! My favorite place for Pho in Providence. Their crispy spring rolls are great too!

The pho was actually quite good. My closest friends are Vietnamese, so I know a good bowl of pho since their moms were amazing cooks. The broth was flavorful, rich and delicious and the beef quite tender. You really didn't have to dress it up with too much hoison or hot sauce. The banh mi was a home run. Definitely get the beef or the pork sandwich. My boyfriend & I took a bite and we were in heaven. OMG! The marinade of the meats were beyond scrumptious. Your mouth will thank you for trying it. The banh xeo and goi cuon, however, were mediocre. The banh xeo was on the soggy side and it came with a side of iceberg lettuce, which was strange to me because I've always had it with red leaf or green leaf lettuce. That's what you're supposed to wrap up the banh xeo with. The goi cuon was amateur, at best. Nothing special about it at all. Pho Paradise is a delightful discovery.

Bellyful by John Schenck
'Recently I ate at Pho Paradise with renowned Providence chef Neath Pal, who squirted a pool of siracha (garlic chili sauce) and hoisin sauce into his side plate and then dipped the beef from his soup in the sauces. I wanted to do what he did, and I have a report that we were both sweating profusely and extremely happy by the time we set our spoons and chopsticks down, bellies full.
Happiness in a bowl, and nothing faux about it.'

After reading the reviews, my wife and I were anticipating a good meal. The meats (rib eye, flank, tendon, tripe, brisket) were very good. The service was very good too. But unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the broth. It had very little flavor or depth. We we also disappointed that typical Pho sides (bean sprouts, limes, Thai basil) were not brought to our table.

I definitely expected a lot coming here after reading several good reviews but this place should be called Pho Hell instead. Food was bland and probably one of the worst Pho we have ever ate.
