The Rolling Spring Roll (Farmingdale) 189 Main Street, Farmingdale, NY 11735

"The best viet food on Long Island. Everything is so good. We had the Pho, spring rolls, banh mi, and wings. Personal favorite was the wings. The sauce is a sweet garlicy soy sauce."

"Clean, nice, small Vietnamese place. When seated you are encouraged to scan the bar code for the menu and order through there. I was feeling a little under the weather, and you know what they say, pho helps with that. So I ended up going with the traditional Pho Bo. Comes with sliced beef, beef brisket & meatballs (opted out the meatballs). Red onions & scallions on top. Bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños & wedge of lime on the side. The broth does have a very strong beefy flavor so if that's not your thing then maybe consider trying something else. I personally enjoyed my meal, especially with the siracha on the side. All the ingredients complimented each other & came together to create wonderful flavors. You get spicy & fresh at the same time. Now I did also get to try the Tan Binh chicken wings. Even though they were glazed with a hot chili sauce they remained crispy. They were one of the best non-american traditional wings I've had. You do pay on your phone as well. It seems like more contactless service is implemented in this spot. Which personally I like interaction but hey to each there own. Understandable."

"FYI, I’m vegetarian and ordered for delivery, so your experience might vary. Ordered the following: 1. Vegetarian Pho 2. Tofu Banh Mi Food: Uhhh, I’m really disappointed. Maybe the experience might’ve been different dining in, but I just was not a fan of the food. Vegetarian Pho: soup was good, but the vegetables like the carrots, zucchini, and cauliflower were cut big and undercooked… They ended up being kinda raw and hard when I was eating it. The pho noodles were hard and when I poured the soup in (I even microwaved it so it’s hot much hotter), the noodles were still stuck together. I wonder if there is a better way to prep the noodles for delivery. Tofu Banh Mi: ehhh, not a fan. Quite typical, came with a little bit of tofu and the usual banh ni veggies. I’d say it was a big okay. Lackluster experience via delivery. I’d give this place a visit in person next time to see if it’s any different, but food this time was not good via delivery."

"3.5 stars. We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the place was packed. The restaurant is on the smallish side and the décor is pretty basic. Here's what we ordered: The classic banh mi which comes with grilled pork belly, cha (Vietnamese cold cut) and the house special pate along with cucumbers, carrots and pickled daikon on a French baguette. The bread was really good, crusty and crunchy and held all of the items without falling apart. As far as taste, I thought the banh mi was decent. Not the best I've had but good. We got an order of spring rolls which were yummy. I liked that they perfectly cut the lettuce so that it was easier to wrap the spring rolls in. The vinaigrette that you were supposed to dip the rolls in were kind of bland which was disappointing. We got a big bowl of Pho Bo. It came with sliced beef, beef brisket and meatballs. The broth was very light. I was expecting it to be beefier in taste, but it wasn’t bad. We also ordered Angus beef short ribs and lemongrass chicken. The Angus beef short ribs were the best dish from our lunch. The meat was tender, thinly sliced and grilled perfectly. It had a nice grilled aroma. The lemongrass chicken was nothing special. Chicken was tender but lacking in flavor. Both the chicken and short ribs came with a small bowl of white rice. And I must say, I was slightly disappointed by the white rice served here. White rice should be fluffy and slightly moist with a little bit of a sticky texture. The rice we got was a little dry and bland. For drinks, we ordered the café du monde which was served pipping hot with condensed milk. It was very strong and sweet, exactly how I like my coffee. No complaints there. Based on the reviews and high ratings, I really was expecting more from this restaurant. I thought the food overall was decent, but I’ve had better."

"The OG location. Their second is in Syosset, has a larger menu and bigger dining room, as well as a bar. I've been here several times, both locations and I love it. The prices are fair for Long Island since it's very hard to find Vietnamese food and and sometimes Flushing/Chinatown is just too far of a drive. It's still cheap though compared to other dinner spots and the food is great. Hits the spot if you're craving Vietnamese and don't want to drive out to Queens or the city. Their spring rolls are the best! Even the vegetarian ones are good. I always take a banh mi to go to have for a late night snack or lunch the next day. The owner is also super nice -he remembers you too, which is a nice touch for a restaurant- and the staff is great. Small restaurant but they do an excellent job."
