" I was really looking forward to my meal at Blue Taro based on the reviews, but I left feeling quite disappointed. I ordered the chicken pho, but it was bland and the chicken seemed dry. I appreciated the attempt at a modern ordering experience, however! The atmosphere had a nice vibe, but service was quite slow. The portions were generous, so I’d say that's a plus. I may consider giving it another shot but will need to see an improvement in flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Blue Taro, my experience didn’t quite hit the mark. The service felt slow and disorganized, and I received the wrong order originally. However, when I finally got my spicy vegan pho, it was delicious and comforting, with plenty of fresh veggies. The ambiance is cozy and quiet, which was nice. I think they deserve a second chance because the food quality was high despite the speed issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, Blue Taro has truly set a new standard for Vietnamese food in Rochester! Their vegan menu is extensive, and the options are incredible—everything I ordered was fresh and flavorful. Try the banh mi! My only issue was that the food took a while to arrive, but it was hot and delicious once it got to the table. I will certainly be recommending this place to everyone I know. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Blue Taro! After hearing friends rave about the place, I finally made it in. The flavors are authentic, and the vegan options are really creative and delicious. I had the spicy tofu and some herbal dumplings, both of which were delightful! The atmosphere is cozy, though I did notice service dropped a bit during peak hours. Still, I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food, Blue Taro is exactly the place! I had the vegan curry and it was one of the best I’ve had. Full of rich spices and flavors, it satisfied my cravings! The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Will definitely be revisiting soon for more delicious offerings!

" What can I say? Blue Taro is exceptional! The vegan pho I had was one of the best I’ve tasted! It's refreshing to see a place offering such tantalizing vegan options alongside traditional fare. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the quality experience. My only critique is the waiting time, which was a bit long, but it was worth it for the food. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Blue Taro, and I decided to bring my family for a weekend dinner. The food was quite enjoyable, though the wait time was a bit longer than expected. My kids loved the spring rolls and chicken pho, while I was blown away by the flavors in the tofu banh mi! The atmosphere was friendly, but I could see they were understaffed at times. I will return for the delicious food and give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)
