We went there recently for the first time and will go back for the great food. The veggies are really fresh and tender crisp. The atmosphere is very clean but some areas within sight are cluttered and piled high. (put up some curtains, de-clutter or move the stuff.) The woman who ?served? us was obviously not interested in working or being a pleasant waitress. She sat by the cash register and combed her eyelashes, adjusted her makeup for about 10 minutes and flicked her hair. Her cell phone was a constant. To top things off, I asked her some basics between the yellow, red and green curries. She said she didn’t have a clue and HATED curry. Plus, she could not get an answer to our questions from anyone. Two other customers left after their meal and as they walked out said good-by and thanked them for a great meal. This waitress didn’t even acknowledge them to return the pleasantries, although clearly she was very close by and could hear them. But I have to admit, those veggies were fresh and wonderfully prepared.

We ordered takeout. The pad thai was good, but the crepe was burnt on one side and mushy on the other. The young person at the counter was rude and kept throwing things my way on the counter… the paper to sign, the pen, as well as the food that was haphazardly packed in a box. I don’t expect to be waited on hand and foot, I just expect the person behind the counter to be polite to me. Unfortunately, I don’t have many reasons to go back…

I’m sorry but this has to be said but the food was bland and tasteless. Definitely not even close to a 4 or 5 star experience. Fried spring rolls were the highlight of the food ordered and the were greasy and gross. The Beef tendon soup had no authentic Vietnamese spices at all . No star anise, no cloves, no cinnamon, and had barely any meat or tendon. Very lack luster and full of MSG. The veggie dish had no brown sauce, no spice, no flavor. Complete an utter disappointment. So sad and totally wasted $40 on sub par Vietnamese food. Never again.

This is the best Pho in Vermont. All the food had so much flavor, Vietnamese coffee was on point and the dumplings were next level.

The server was surprisingly helpful and kind. I am seeing her face while writing this review. The soup was great. I will come back whenever I visit Vermont.

I’ve ordered more than 5 times so far (to go), and the food is consistently great. Ingredients are fresh and flavors always hit the spot. Thanks!

I’ve been ordering from Viet Thai at least once a week for two years and have never been disappointed. Literally every meal I’ve had has been perfect, the staff are unbelievably kind, and the prices are super reasonable. I’ve introduced dozens of my friends and family to Viet Thai and everyone has given rave reviews. Seriously, I eat a LOT of Thai food and have in some of the best places in the US, and this little gem is still my favorite.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Vermont! Definitely worth it if you have to go a bit out of your way to eat here. The food is well seasoned, super flavorful and not greasy. They give you lots of veggies which I love. My belly can only tolerate mild spiciness and my partner likes spicy and we are both always happy with what we order. Also if you are worried about getting food out during the pandemic they are open for take out only and have a nice little take out window set up at their entrance so you do not have to go indoors. So happy to get my food from a place that cares about their staff and community.
