If so, is it primarily Vietnamese? Fri Jul 03 09:07:31 -0700 2009 1089910 aussiedaydream 1 4829075 The cuisine is Vietnamese, if that's what you're asking. I've been there a few times and always left feeling satisfied without breaking the bank. It's usually on my list of places to hit whenever I go to Manchester on business, but then again I love Vietnamese food! Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed! BTW, it's ALWAYS a good sign when a restaurant is always busy!

Hubby wasn't ever as thrilled as I was, now we're on the same page. We are spoiled by all the wonderful asian restaurants down in the Lowell area (viet, thai, cambodian, laotian,etc) - Pho 88 still remains are favorite (just off Rt. 3 - Drumhill Rd.- Lowell).

There is a new veg roll on the menu. It has a funny name like "wonderful delicious" roll--quite good. We're big fans of the pho--I actually think the broth at GB has more depth of flavor than Pho 88, but that's a matter of personal taste. BTW, just got back from a quick vaca in California--the airport at Sacramento has a fast food stand that sells pho and Thai green curry!

Airports are starting to improve by bringing in great stuff - we were in New Orleans recently and our flight was delayed so we enjoyed some great NOLA (again) just before leaving. I do love their GB s&p pork chop, I don't think Pho 88 has that on the menu. Mon Jul 06 15:55:15 -0700 2009 4834034 49588 lexpatti
