Reviews for Secrets Pho & Noodle Bar in Durham, NC
I see that my previous review has been censored so that no one else can see it. Now I?m going to make fliers and post them... locally. Shame on you for charging people for food like this and then not allowing me to share my review on it. There is nothingculinary about this. Three soggy pieces of broccoli, ONE singled out snow pea and some gigantic hard pieces of snack carrots.You want to charge 13$ for a plate of food that has zero effort. The industry has definitely taken a nose dive. You can cutcosts and still pay attention to presentation and quality if you care about the food you are serving. Like I said in my lastreview that apparently no one will be able to see, you should refund every customer who received a plate that looks like this.And you should take accountability and address the problems with your quality rather than censoring people. Again, angry that Iwasted money on this food. Buyers beware. Read more
Had the Singapore noodles and the deluxe pho. Both were very good. As one who has had pho in Vietnam I can say that this comes... very close to authentic. Definitely gonna stop here again. Read more
I read a review saying that the pho here was the worst that person had in his/her life. Tbh, I was hesitant, but was really... craving for some pho, and Bowl of Pho was closed for to tonight and Pho Queen? was too far. Cutting right to the chase. Pho wassuperb. ???????? It was really above expectations and was at par or better than the other pho places I?ve been. Fried rice wasalso good. I think pho is for 1 serving but the fried rice is good for 2 people. Read more
In town visiting for work. Wanted something savory tasty and comforting. What better option than pho. Came upon Secrets and... decided to give it a try. There was some limited street parking or you could park in the attached parking garage that?s part ofthe plaza. The restaurant itself had plenty of indoor seating and a uncovered patio. To order it was simple enough get in linetake a number and viola you had what you came for. They were pretty quick and I was satisfied with my meal but the pho wasmissing a bit more flavor profile as were the rest of my dishes. When asking to see if I could get some heat/spice afterdigging into my dishes I was offered small packets of sriracha and goshen sauce. All in all the staff were super friendly thefood portions were more than enough for left overs but it was just missing some extra time and attention on the flavor profile.Cheers! Read more
Went to dinner with my friend here, we got there during a dinner rush, but the line moved pretty fast. The kind lady at the... register was super welcoming and friendly, it was our first time there so it felt nice to be greeted like that. she recommendedthe Crab wontons as appetizers and they were pretty good! The guy serving our food was also very friendly. It was our first timetrying Pho, and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend ! Read more
First time going here. Place was nice and clean. Cashier was friendly. I ordered pho but it was so oily and lacking flavor. ... But their orange chicken was crispy and great! Read more
Incredibly yummy, fast-casual, yet high quality and healthy Vietnamese food in Durham! We heard about Secrets through our... Offline Durham membership and boy it did not disappoint! The service was friendly, and our food was ready quickly! I ordered theJapanese 7 spice tofu vermicelli bowl and the seasoning on the tofu was incredible!! I also loved how it was mixed in with freshveggies, bean sprouts and they put the fish sauce vinaigrette on the side so you can add as much or little as you want (althoughI added a lot because it was flavorful but not heavy). My husband got the Go Green Pho - usually it's hard to find vegetarianpho so we were super happy to find this one and the broth was so tasty. We also split a tofu banh mi which was a good shareablesize - although I want to go back and try the chicken version and shrimp spring rolls! Read more
Restaurant seems overpriced for the amount of food. They could def do better. General Tso Chicken (Half eaten): Good Flavor... and chicken was very crispy even after a 15 min drive home. Vegetables were overcooked and not really there. Look at previousreviews to see the amount (8/10) Char-grilled Pork Vermicelli: Pork was super tender and marinated well. (7/10) Honey GlazedShrimp Vermicelli Plate: only 4 shrimp, for the price I expected more. Not worth the price (5/10) Singapore Noodles: absolutelyno flavor what so ever. (2/10) Read more
