Thang Long Noodle Restaurant (Kensington)

A total speechless experience 👎 I came in here being the only customer (there was another one but she was finishing), and I ordered 1 special chicken pho. I asked the waitress what part of chicken was used in the dish, and if I could get the thigh because I couldn't eat white meat. She said ok and took the order to the kitchen. A few mins afterward, she even came out and told us the kitchen said there was no more egg for the chicken pho, and I said that was fine. And then very long after, I was served BEEF pho 🙄🙄 She went to the kitchen and had a long conversation with the cook, and the cook insisted the order was Beef pho, not chicken 🙄 And again, I'm the only one dining in 🙄 In the end the kitchen unhappily (??) agreed to remake it, and then chicken pho came with all white meat 🙃 I really don't want to look like a bad person making them redo it twice, but seriously it's not my fault, and I really can't eat white meat. But the waitress refused to make it right, saying it was already made so please eat it whatsoever 🙃 and she left. I ended up having to pay for it whether I eat it or not, so I took a few spoons of the broth and noodles too call it a meal and left the nearly full bowl. No slight expression of apology or anything from the restaurant. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is such a hidden gem! I was shocked to find not only your typical vegan pho but they also have a vegan spicy meatball lemongrass noodle soup and a handful of other vegan dishes!! I'm very impressed with how flavorful the broth is! I added tofu to my soup, and the tofu is soft! I also got the vegan spring roll. It comes with 3 per order. The service was superb and timely mannered. The dishes are delicious and very affordable. Do not let the neighborhood deter you from trying it out! I'm so happy to find my go-to Vietnamese restaurant!

Not my favorite and usual place for pho and vermicelli but 5 ⭐️ for quick service, homestyle flavors, generous portions, and serving Kensington area! The summer rolls are fresh with pork and shrimp and one of the few restaurants to serve 3 rolls for $5.50 (most serve 2 for similar pricing). The grilled pork was flavorful over the vermicelli. I enjoyed the spicy chicken stew over broken rice. It had a punchy ginger taste and not too spicy. The sauce was so good I finished all my rice. :) thanks!

I visited this place many times over the year. Food is always great. Yes, it is in Kensington. So be aware of your surroundings but I’ve been here for many many years so I know what to expect. Had delivery from them a week or two ago two weeks ago sorry man so good their PHO is so good it’s like two meals. The broth is off the hook. Love this place next time I’ll pick up a little bit pricey when you have a delivered
