If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine on Long Island, SUP Vietnamese in Rockville Centre is a must-visit. Tucked away on Sunrise Highway, this cozy, modern eatery delivers bold, comforting flavors that transport you straight to the bustling streets of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of simmering pho broth, a rich, 24-hour labor of love that forms the heart of many dishes here. The menu is a beautiful blend of traditional staples and contemporary takes, offering everything from crispy bánh (Vietnamese crepes) to perfectly charred lemongrass grilled pork and my favorite, the spicy basil shrimp fried rice served in a freshly cut pineapple!
As for their pho, whether you opt for the classic beef combo or the veggie-packed version, each bowl is generously portioned, deeply flavorful, and topped with fresh herbs, lime, and bean sprouts for that signature crunch. Don’t miss the fresh spring rolls or the house-made chili oil if you like some heat.
SUP Vietnamese isn’t just about food, it’s about community and culture. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the vibe strikes a balance between laid-back and vibrant, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner date.
In a world of fast fusions and watered-down recipes, SUP stays true to its roots while inviting everyone to experience the soul of Vietnam, one delicious bite at a time.
