New Vietnamese In Smithfield, RI- Pho Evergreen

I agree it is well worth the trip! I found the food very fresh and refreshing from most restaurants touting Vietnamese cuisine in New England.

I ordered the grilled shrimp with brown rice and requested no lettuce because of an allergy. This dish was $11.99. I got 10 jumbo grilled shrimp, about a cup of brown rice (more than sufficient) and 4 slices each of tomato and cucumber, with a spicy dipping sauce. I met a friend I hadn't seen in quite awhile and we stayed for nearly 3 hours - with no one rushing us out because we weren't ordering something. She had the original fried rice topped with chicken. With a generous tip, it was $28 for the two of us, slightly high but we thought worth it for the excellent and freshly cooked food.

I only encountered one problem. I originally ordered the lemon chicken combo plate but the sister who cooks was out making deliveries and the father, who was cooking in the kitchen until her return, didn't know how to prepare the lemon chicken...so I switched to the shrimp. I intend to go back in the hopes of trying the lemon chicken.
