Reviews for Veranda Noodle Bar in Portland, ME
When our small group arrived, the staff had a bad attitude and gave us rolling eyes because it was a group. There are 6 seats at... a table anyway! She left us standing for a while. So we left and she offered us but it was too late and we not want to see herface and her attitude. Read more
Best bun ever! I always try to eat here when I'm in the area.
Vicky was a great server, she went out of her way to make a sweet tea for me and I think it?s the best I?ve ever had, I... appreciated that. It was steady paced and volume was normal, I was able to read a book while I wait for my food, which I noticeda few others were doing too...nice spot for one or 8. The food was good and large portions...I got the beef rice dinner & shrimptempura appetizer. First time coming here and I will definitely be back! Read more
Two restaurants with the same name! Beware if you order mistakenly from the wrong one. Commercial st folks were very kind and... assured me Veranda st would help with a refund when my lunch was ordered there mistakenly. Not so. $60 bucks for 2lunches....hope someone enjoyed the other!! Not great customer service. Read more
Absolutely awesome noodle bowls and fantastic pho. Portions are gigantic, you could fit your whole head in their noodle... bowls. I get the grilled pork vermicelli almost every time I go. The naum choc sauce that comes with it makes the dish. I pourthe whole bowl of it in. Read more
Great Food & Love the Atmosphere here! Definitely give this place a try!
My foodie friend took me here because it?s his favorite place to eat in the entire world. I?ve traveled quite a few places, and... have had a extensive amount of great, good, and ok food on my palette...so he was interested to see what I thought. I orderedan appetizer of Shrimp Tempura and had the Grilled Chicken Vermicelli (my friend?s favorite). The shrimp was a plain batteredfried shrimp with battered and fried vegetables like zucchini and sweet potato. I didn?t expect fried vegetables. I normallydon?t like zucchini or sweet potato but they weren?t bad. It came with a sweet and little spicy sauce/dressing (which theGrilled Chicken Vermicelli also came with). The shrimp was good and decent sized, but I only got three and would have likedmore. I think the price for it was around $9. As for the Grilled Chicken Vermicelli, my friend told me to ask for an extraserving of sweet/spicy sauce/dressing. It came in a nice large bowl and includes lots of vegetables. Noodles are at the bottom,so you need to pour in the dressing and stir it all in with the noodles. The flavor was pretty great, but I got some a fewpretty large pieces of fat/cartilage in it, so I had to pick those out. All in all, pretty good...but if you want greatVietnamese food, go to Boba in Lewiston, Maine on Lisbon Street. Read more
Service was quick. The food was also very good and reasonably priced. They put a lot of meat in my pho which was great. It got... quiet busy in the evening and they need an extra helper. The lady was running around like crazy. Bathroom was clean but it wasweird that they put the big mop and bucket in there. Read more
