Pho Lantern Restaurant - Vietnamese restaurant in Buffalo - 837 Niagara St, USA

What a great spot! We had the chicken pad thai and seafood pho, and they were both DELICIOUS. Some would say pho-nomenal! We loved it and can't wait to come back!

I glad my daughter brought us here. All the food was great. Service was good, people was nice. Pricing is not bad. One item 1/2 price each day. We had pho combination , it was very tasty, lots of flavor. The dumplings were great, nice sauce. The sandwich’s were tasty and full of ingredients. The pad Thai was A+ . I will be back soon. Thank you to all the staff. Give them a try.!!

Delicious smoothies, but tough meat. When we entered, the place had a funky smell. We ordered many avocado smoothies, and they were all delicious. The grilled meat with rice was good. The flavor of the bun bo hue was ok, but the meat was so tough that I had trouble chewing through them.

This is clean, fresh, delicious, and visually spectacular food. I only wished the restaurant's physical space was more appealing. The dishes are very large, smell beautiful, and come to the table like little works of art. I'm not a giant Thai food fan, but you'd have to be a fool not to appreciate this gem.

I’m sure I just caught them at a bad time but I ordered takeout. I got a large Tom yum seafood soup, vegetable steamed dumplings, and a vegetable roll. The soup wasn’t sent with any garnishes and tasted like plain tomato soup. No lemongrass, cilantro, anything. I rarely order takeout and I was excited for this. The dumplings were completely cold, but the avocado roll was good. I’m just disappointed in the soup, as that was my main meal tonight, and it was scant with seafood, and tasted very bland. I’ve had such good experiences dining in and I hope to try again.

Yum! Tasty food, great prices, and super fast service. Lots of vegetarian options as well. The roll for the tofu Bahn mi ($6) was so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The veggie egg rolls ($7 for 4) and veggie dumplings ($7 for 6) were outstanding. The spicy udon noodles ($13) lacked spice, but was decent. Overall, a nice place to check out for some good Vietnamese food.

I re-visited this place after a long time. We ordered spring roll, bahn-mi with salad, and a extra large pho. Soup was very good although it tasted like a little bit of instant pho soup. It was a lot better than other places in Buffalo I have been, including the portion of the food. I barely finished the pho! Also, spring roll was thick enough to fill my stomach. Each day has different discounted menu. They were kind and ask if everything was good during the meal (which is not a normal thing to expect from some other Asian restaurants). Only thing they can improve is probably the sauce lids. It would be better if they would wipe the leftover sauce around the lids! Satisfied experience.

This place was awesome and now I understand why that have all of their ratings posted all over their walls- The restaurant is clean and had TVs with music on and fish tanks to look at. It's eclectic but provides a nice atmosphere. They have a bunch of daily specials that seem super reasonable. The pho was awesome- the XL size is enough to feed 2 people and the pad Thai is one of the best around. The mango salad is like nothing I have ever had before but delicious- spicy but I highly recommend. I couldn't believe the amount of take out orders coming out of the kitchen on a Sunday night- it's nice to see a business doing well. They have lots of bubble tea to choose from- I didn't order one but saw a bunch go out and I will definitely try next time. Best part besides the food quality? Super cheap-
