This is our go to for Thai and Vietnamese food. They're only a mile from our apartment and the food is consistently good and well priced.
I've always enjoyed pad thai, but never fully realized how good it could be until I ordered the shrimp pad thai from Pho Lantern. It was perfectly sauced (which is traditionally kind of dryish) and really flavorful. But, I didn't feel like I got enough shrimp for the $3 upcharge...so the next time I ordered I opted for the veggie and tofu pad thai option. It didn't have nearly as much flavor...which I guess I should've anticipated. But still, I love this place and there are so many things to try.
Another of our favorite dishes from here is the spicy udon. It's a great complete meal for one if you're not doing family style. The noodles are thick, but the perfect texture. It includes veggies and you have your choice of proteins; beef, chicken, crispy fish, pork, mixed seafood, shrimp, and tofu & veggie. We particularly enjoy the mixed seafood. You can specify various levels of heat, but in general it's a nice warm heat that enhances the rest of the flavors. They aren't trying to blow you away with the spice.
I have only had the pho once. I ordered the veggie pho and the vegetables and noodles were generous. The only issue I had was the broth seriously lacked flavor. But after topping with a little hoisin and chili paste it was absolutely delicious!
Everything is always nicely packaged for pick-up or delivery.
I do love consistency in a restaurant and I'm always happy with Pho Lantern.
