We haven't been here in a while since we live a bit further away but oh my we missed DaVang. Such comfort food. We can't find more authentic pho anywhere in AZ. Grape leaves wrapped pork, shrimp paste, rice rolls with mushrooms are all our favorites. Crepes are nice and crispy with loaded bean sprouts, shrimp and pork. Waiters are all very friendly and treat you like family. Will return as often as we can. Highly highly recommend!!! read more

Wow!! Fresh, delicious, authentic, amazing food. This place is my new habit!! The pho and stews are so flavorful and large enough to feed you for 2 days. Price is very reasonable. read more

Easy five stars. I ordered the #75 banh mi thit nuong (bbq pork and veg) and it was excellent. The bread was warm as if it had just recently come out of the oven, the pork was tender and flavorful, and the veggies were cold and crisp. At $6.75 (!!) the value for money was so refreshing. The menu was far more wide-ranging than I'm used to seeing which suggests to me that they are making authentic food to satisfy the palette of a Vietnamese audience and, given that most of the guests appeared to be Viet, I think they're doing a good job of it. As I was checking out, I recognized the pandan layer cake they had for sale by the register from my favorite mukbang youtuber (don't judge me) so I had to pick that up to try. It's got a squishy, gelatinous type texture with a light coconutty flavor. Fun to eat and also delightfully priced at $3.50 for 5 pieces. I'm excited to try everything else on the menu. read more

Came to Da Vang for lunch. Nice cozy little place. The service was prompt but not as friendly as I would have hoped. It may be due to a bit of language barrier. We ordered the Goi Cuon Dau Hu (spring rolls with tofu, rice noodles, bean sprouts & mint, wrapped in rice paper) Pho Duoi Bo (rice noodle soup with beef bone-in oxtail with added tripe and tendon). It was all so delicious! We ate every bite. read more

not too much to say here: great pho, quick service, lots of space and there's never a line! da vang is my go-to post going out treat and heals me every time. the pho today was especially good... not sure if the broth was just seasoned differently or i was just starving but wow it hit the spot! the broth is nice and clear and noodles are cooked perfectly. they also give so many lime slices. extra points for that!!!! read more

Da Vang Restaurant - 3A. *Pho Tai Nam - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I enjoy a variety of cuisines and heard this place is renowned for its Pho, but I opted for a different dish. The flavors were authentic, and the service was satisfactory, although the young server seemed surprised by my presence. This is unusual for a location near Bethany and 43rd Ave. The establishment appeared clean; I did a pickup. The layout is interesting, suggesting they may have expanded into an adjacent lot without removing the dividing read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars as the late Senator McCain often liked to come here. He was a POW held during the Vietnam War, and despite that, he could still appreciate a nation's food. This place has often been featured in local magazines and touted to have some of the best Vietnamese food in the Valley. Well, I guess all that publicity and hype has gotten into their heads. This place probably was very good at one time, but tonight, my experience here was more than underwhelming. After a moderate hike in late summer heat, I was pretty tired and a bit thirsty and wanted to have some pho, so I stopped in here. Place was packed with people. I came in solo and was seated at table 19. A kid brought me my menu. I asked to have an iced chanh moui (salted lemon drink) and the kid seemed very confused and then trier to take the menu away and I had to ask for it back. Another waiter showed up since the kid had no idea what I was asking and when I asked for the salted lemon drink, he shook his head. That made me disappointed as I love this drink. He then offered a regular lemonade and I didn't want that. I then ordered a meatball pho and within minutes it arrived. I don't know why these days it feels like all the pho I have been having is just seasoned a bit too sweet for me. I used to not have this issue. So this pho was mediocre at best for me. Meatballs were fine and everything else was OK. Portion size was about what you expect, not a lot of extra food. I did have some leftovers so did ask to have a container to take it to go. You pay at the counter and can tip there or at the table. This place was swarming with people, so I guess it's good. I don't think I'll be coming back when there are plenty of pho options here in the Valley. read more

Da Vang is a superb experience for the taste buds. The service is fast and friendly. The restaurant has a food court style ambience with table and chairs, nothing fancy but you don't need that. The food speaks volumes, and is the best you will ever have in Phx, ever!! So pull up a seat and be prepared to be blown away with the Chicken Pho, and my personal new favorite... Oxtail Pho with it's hearty flavor, lots of meat, noodles and comes with fresh thai basil and other fixings on the side to load it up, and as I do, slurp it down. Need some electrolytes?Order a whole coconut and enjoy! I never have room left for a sweet treat. But that is my goal for the next visit. read more

I have been coming here since I was a youngin', back when I used to live on this side of town. This is undoubtedly the best Pho restaurant in Phoenix. You are bound to catch one of your family, friends, or colleagues dining here. This is a family-owned establishment and many of the staff are still there to this day. I am glad their business is thriving after all these years as they have expanded multiple times to house all these hungry customers. My usual here is the Shrimp-Pork Wonton Soup with Rice Noodle, Broken Steamed Rice with Pork Chop/Shredded Pork, and a side of BBQ Pork Banh Mi. Their broth is always hot and the flavor is well-balanced. I like their wontons because it has a unique taste and is different from the Chinese version. The cost per bowl here is one of the cheapest you can find in town and their portions are very generous. If you are not a fan of noodle soups, their pork chop rice dishes are also popular and worth trying. I hope they never change any family recipes because they have a loyal customer for life! read more

I would recommend the tofu spring rolls, but not the BBQ chicken banh mi or the beef pho; both had such small amounts of meat in them, less than I've ever seen. The pho was 90% vermicelli noodles (and they tasted plasticky) and had less than an ounce of meat in it, with heavily oily broth. The banh mi didn't have the same taste as ones I had in Vietnam or NYC, and was just a sorry excuse for one. I was sadly disappointed, as I was looking forward to experiencing one of my favorite cuisines. My quest for good Vietnamese in Phoenix continues, but Da Vang definitely ain't it. read more

Decent Vietnamese restaurant. The service was good and quick. The pho was very filling with lots of noodles and protein, but I was disappointed in the watered down broth. The Bun Mam was a noodle dish my partner and I have not tried before. The broth was very flavorful and aromatic. It had a variety of proteins like fish, shrimp, beef, etc. read more

This place was packed so I knew it had to be good. We had the shrimp spring rolls, the sauce they come with is amazing. I had beef pho which was really good. I wasn't a super fan of the brisket because it was fatty but maybe that's how it normally is? My wife had the bbq chicken vermicelli bowl which she liked. She put the sauce from the spring rolls on her bowl which made it even tastier. We'd come back for sure. read more

Da Vang Restaurant - 2A. *Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am vegetarian, so now you know how the review goes. Just going to highlight one major things. This restaurant is the only one I have been to in Phoenix, where they have served an egg banh mi. That is something very unique, and this egg sandwich is something commonly served in Vietnam for breakfast or lunch. So I am giving 5 stars just based on this. It had me thinking I was in Saigon again. I haven't tried anything else there yet, but I am may not have to. I would know exactly why I would go. To get that bangin' egg banh mi. read more

Went to Da Vang with my lunch group of 8. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend! The Beef Stew was really good, tender big chunks of meat with vegetables in a nice flavorful broth. I would go back for that alone! Others in our party ordered the Banh Mi, Crepes, Pho, and spring rolls - all was great! read more

Not many Vietnamese restaurant offer Bún bò Huế, when you see one on the menu, you know you are in an authentic traditional Vietnamese restaurant. The soup is spicy and delicious, very flavorful. Restaurant is big and spacious, plenty of seating. Service is fast, you sit down and water comes right away, they will take your order as soon as you are ready. Food comes really fast too. I will definitely come back for this. read more

Came in on a Friday evening right before the dinner pop -no wait for a party of 2. Was pretty excited hearing about Da Vang and reading other reviews. We were instantly checked in on for a drinks, and we placed our orders quickly for pho since I'm still searching for the best pho in Phoenix. All in all service was great no complaints, and the restaurant is clean and bright. We ordered Goi Cuon Nem Nuong for an appetizer and then we both ordered beef pho. Goi Cuon was pretty average. Nothing special about it - pretty dry and the meat didn't have a char flavor that I'm used to, but that's just the appetizer what I really came here for was the pho... I've had a lot of pho from New Orleans, Houston, San Jose, Orange County, places that have large viet populations. Phoenix overall - I haven't had pho that has really amazed me still. I always sip the broth before adding anything to the pho, and I was so confused upon my first sip. I tasted primarily oil and then a hint of beef flavor. I barely tasted any pho spice like no star anise, slight cinnamon, but overall all I tasted was oil followed by a slight beef flavor. Like normally in my experience the broths in west valley have been salty - no beef flavor, or beef flavor but sweet. This has neither in my opinion which I found super odd especially after reading the reviews. In addition to the broth being off to me, the noodles were a weird texture. Like mushy? Me and my brother (he had his own bowl) both agreed the noodle texture was very odd and the broth was very disappointing. I could have had a bad batch or something not sure but overall, I did not enjoy my bowl of pho even after adding sriracha and lemon (which I normally pour the sriracha and stuff on the side to not mess with the broth but it really just needed some flavor). All in all I didn't really enjoy Da Vang which is not something I expected. However, you still should try yourself and see if you enjoy it. I felt the portion was very good and the menu prices were not as pricey as some I have seen in the west valley (if we're purely looking at price comparison). read more

I've been here HUNDREDS of times throughout my life- don't ask me why it's taken so long to review. Da Vang has been a go-to spot for me ever since I was a wee bitty little human. That's right... a long, long, long time ago. So of course, it's my favorite in Phoenix. That being said- Da Vang never disappoints. The food is always delicious. It's a little mom & pop shop located in a small plaza along 19th Ave. This place can get PACKED at certain times, so keep that in mind if you're: (1) starving and unwilling to wait OR (2) crossing your fingers in hopes of finding a parking space. (Maybe check Google for the "busiest times" and avoid going then.) *Whenever I'm there I try to read the room. If it's busy, I won't take up too much time eating so others can be seated sooner. But if it happens to be slower, I may sit for a few after I eat to chit chat for a bit. Just stay considerate of others.* The orders always come out hot, fresh, and quick! And once you're finished, just head to the counter with your table number in mind to close out and pay the bill. *Your bill will not be brought to your table when you're done eating.* Note: Some folks are used to a server that wants to have small talk, so please don't be offended if the servers here don't do that. They are constantly busy and always in a rush to serve you better. And as I've mentioned earlier- they're really just trying to speed up for the other people who may be waiting. Regardless- they're super efficient here! ENJOY! read more

All of my family and I have been coming to this restaurant for about 12 years! We all have grown up and moved out (further west, we have closer pho restaurants to us and we would still go out of our way to go to this place) Last week my sister and I felt like eating the number 27 the stir fried egg noodles with shrimp, squid pork and imitation crab and veggies. It's usually really tasty the sauce they stir fry everything in is full of flavor. Not sure if it's a specify frying sauce or simply a mixture of housin, fish sauce and soy sauce but the frying it together is what makes it awesome. Well the last time we went the plate had no sauce no flavor. My sister did ask if we could please have more sauce in which the plate is cooked in as it has none. Owner said no you don't know what you ordered that's how it's made. My sister let him know we literally come to your restaurant for this plate and it's not right we just want sauce we're not sending it back or anything he said put soy sauce on it..... The way he treated us is super disappointing because we patronize this place for so long I just didn't like his assumptions. I'm not an expert in making Vietnamese food but I sure am at eating it. I think it was a race thing because we are Mexican American we don't know his food (which again we love and do know) We will look to support local business from know on. Song Lynn is good Golden Thai and Pho 43 will see more of us know. read more

Best vietnamese food in Phoenix. No frills establishment with extensive menu options, most of which you'll have to Google to understand. I would highly recommend trying the Bahn Xeo, which is a crispy egg crepe with pork, bean sprouts, and shrimp folded inside! Also, the Cafe Sua Da coffee is amazing. It comes halfway filled because you're supposed to let the ice melt before drinking it. Fast service and consistently high quality food. read more

I had never eaten Vietnamese food till I arrived in Phoenix 27 years ago. I did not even know what Vietnamese food was. Ten years ago, a friend who had been in the war in Vietnam and not treated very well encouraged me to try the food. He basically sold me during his appointments on opening up my palate and to try this type of food. He swore Da Vang was Phoenix's BEST Vietnamese food with great value and authenic dishes. They are not upscaled, but rather simple and absolutely delicious. This humble and non-assuming restaurant is true to their nationality. We ordered spring rolls, egg rolls and #36 bun chow. The spring rolls are like an herb bowl wrapped up like a burrito. They are refreshing, sticky and packed with a great flavor. The two egg rolls are light, crispy and flavor packed. In secret. I could eat a dozen at a single seating! The bun chow is a glass noodle dish with fresh cut up veggies and herbs. It includes an egg roll, we go for the BBQ pork and if hungry add an additional piece of pork. It is more of a noodle salad. They provide several dipping sauces and are willing to assist you if you want more spice. Now about the food, the portions are large with respect to the bowls. The flavors are fresh, crisp and make me feel better about eating healthier foods. Everything here is hand made on premise. The prices here are very inexpensive and for the quantity of food, GREAT VALUE. On our recent travels, we have tried other Vietnamese restaurants in different cities, and they serve a more upscale version of the cuisine. Da Vang has plastic chairs, no alcohol service and has hard working Vietnamese serving great Vietnamese original flavors. I took my staff here on evening recently as they had no idea what Vietnamese food was. I ordered for them as they were intimidated by the huge menu. Till this day they still rave about the experience. Do yourself a favor, open up your mind and treat your palate to this delicious cuisine. read more

One of my favorite pho restaurants in the state. For us, it is a bit of a drive, but it is always worth it. Located in a humble spot of Phoenix, you will not be disappointed with anything on the menu. We had the spring rolls which were freshly made and so light and refreshing to the taste. The banh mi came out next and the bread was some of the best bread I've had on banh mi in a long time. Last but not least, the pho. The star of the show. The pho is still one of the most flavorful and full of meat and toppings as well as perfectly cooked noodles. Definitely the best bowl in the valley! If you need the pho fix and you haven't been here, visit here to have your mind blown away! read more

This parking lot is super small and tight. We got lucky because we have a disabled placard. Otherwise you would probably have to park in the street. In the middle of the lot is one of those refill water stations so you had people blocking the driveway while waiting for their five gallon to fill. The restaurant was busy during prime lunch hour. Lots of take out orders. We got seated right away but by the door. We order Hu Tieu wonton extra bowl to share. First of all, they don't make extra large bowl but they made that for us using the pho large bowl. Second, we forgot to specify the wide flat rice noodles nor did they ask us. So it came out with this extra large bowl and vermicelli pho noodles! Imagine wonton soup broth with pho noodles! It was rather not appealing to the tummy. Too much starch and too much noodles because they are thin. It also came with a plate of veggies and a crispy fried puff ball. That was the only thing that tasted good. Service didn't seem quite friendly so we didn't send it back. Plus they made us the extra large bowl. That would go to waste. We tried to eat it. My mother and I rarely ever waste food. This would be the time where we didn't finish. We ate the wontons, char Siu, squid, and fake crab. But couldn't finish the noodles. It's just the wrong noodles to pair with this broth which makes a huge difference. If you go here, stick to pho or their rice dish. If you get hu tieu, be sure to ask for wide flat white rice noodles. read more

With all the great viet restaurants around the valley, I just can't recommend this one. The simple vermicelli dish I got below came out salty and the grilled pork they served me must've been from a very well fed piglet, cuz I certainly got the fattiest part of that piglet! Their che ba mau dessert was the final blow to my taste buds. It was excessively sweet & predominantly filled with ice. I think 1/16 of the cup was actual dessert. I wished I took a pic but I was so disappointed I couldn't find the energy to snap one. Service was definitely subpar compared to other restaurants for sure. Best way to describe the service here would be: here's ur food, eat it, and leave. I know they've been in businesses for a long time, but it would take better quality food and service for me to consider coming back here. read more
