Pho Paradise, 337 Broad Street, and Phonatic, 165 Angell Street. Pho Paradise has an extensive menu, at least 100 items to choose from, with plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians. I can promise that this menu translates in any weather situation. Cold and rainy spring day? Any one of the pho, a soup with fresh basil, cilantro, lime, bean sprouts, and other fixings on the side, along with a hot green tea will provide immediate comfort. Hot and sticky summer afternoon? The tofu salad, made of chilled fried tofu, cabbage, and dressed with lime, is light, tangy, and somehow filling. Any time of year, tofu and vegetable curry is the most ideal mixture of sweet and spicy. Just off of Thayer Street, you’ll find an eerily similar spot. Apparently Phonatic has a bad reputation from a restaurant that occupied their location years earlier, but it has since been bought out by the same owners as Pho Paradise. Eastsiders should give this place another chance. The food is excellent, the menu is identical to that of Paradise, and the service is very sweet, earnest, and knowledgeable.

Another great Pho restaurant. Same owners as Pho Paradise, and just as good. (Parking here a bit more difficult than Paradise since it's so close to Brown campus.)

Love/hate Phonatic. The service is junk, the food takes forever to come out and the waiters never come back. Even when we're the two only customers in the restaurant. I usually get up to the counter to pay because it just takes forever. The soup is good and the rest of the menu is excellent but half of it is never available. Never try to order salmon, they don't have it. Ever.

I recently dined there service was awful, place was dirty and had a strange smell. The waitress gave us plastic cups and took forever to get are cokes when no one else was in there. The pho was bland and had no flavor strongly recommend not going there, though it will be out of business soon I would assume.
