  Best Vietnamese I've ever had. The vegetarian spring rolls with peanut sauce and chicken Pho are the best

  Other than the service being a bit slow when they are busy, this is an excellent meal and nice atmosphere.

  I don't write a lot of reviews, but I eat at Pho Le often. I don't understand Nora Mraz's review other than she is extremely dissatisfied. You can't please everyone all the time. I am Asian. My family had the biggest Chinese restaurant in north Jersey when I was growing up. I know full well the difficulties in running a restaurant.
  
  The food here is exemplary. I have had the Saigon crepe at least 10 times and it is always the same. The consistency here is better than McDonald's and that is by making food from scratch. I don' know for a fact that Ms. Mraz has not been to Vietnam and knows Vietnamese food intimately, I just don't think she has. My family served classic Cantonese food catering to American taste. This is what was demanded at the time. What we made and ate at home was nothing like we served in the restaurant. I can tell you for a fact that the food served at Pho Le is more like home cooking than commercialized corporate cooking. I am sure that there are people who think that Olive Garden is Italian and P.F.Chang is Chinese. I am not saying these places are not good and that you would not enjoy them, but for me I will always patronize a family owned business anytime over the corporate chains. Trust me. I'm Asian but not Vietnamese and the food here is great. If service is a little slow, be patient. This is a family owned restaurant, not a Danny Meyer operation backed by hundreds of millions of dollars. They do a fine job here. They are always busy and they service you more than adequately. Your satisfaction is pursuant upon your expectations. Don't have unrealistic expectations and you will have a good meal here. I have spent over $1500.00 for dinner for two and have not enjoyed it any more than eating here. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

  Last night we decided to go to Pho Le, since we love Vietnamese food. At least we thought we did. The sauce on my lemongrass chicken tasted it was made of Skippy peanut butter. My plate looked like a big mess, chicken soaked in sauce that had no traits of lemongrass or flavor of lemongrass. I ordered crispy noodles and got a small bowl of white rice instead, than I reminded the owner who also waits tables, and she brought me white rice noodles instead. Then for the third time I told her I ordered crispy noodles, and she responded "if I want crispy noodles I have to say crispy noodles" in a rude way, which I did in the first time I placed my order. The other waitress looked annoyed serving customers and wouldn't crack a smile. We waited almost 45 minutes for the appetizer Saigon crepe, which had nothing to do with Vietnamese food. It was flavorless and ridiculous looking.
  
  We will never go back, food is disgusting, if you know what authentic food from Vietnam taste and look like.

  The food was fantastic. The appetizers and dessert was a 5 star quality with good display and taste.The pho was good, but tasted different than all the pho restaurants Ive been to. However the service could use improvement, we were there for a couple of hours because it took time for the waiter to get to us. People who came in after us left earlier. Not to mention they took our food away early without asking if we were done. We would like to enjoy the food we paid for, thank you

  Great lunch place - get the Spring rolls for an appetizer - and then the Big Beef Soup or the Super Bowl - Fantastic - wish I could post a picture - teens love the Bubble Tea - I like the Vietnamese Coffee
  
  Great Value!
