From the moment you step inside you know that you've made a good choice. This place is a unique blend of nostalgia and adventure. It is a well run business with Dan at the reins. She is the most personable and efficient leader. She defines hard work. Every dish is plentiful and cooked to perfection. The service is outstanding and even if there's a wait it's absolutely worth it-every time. This is my favorite restaurant of all time. Thank you for another fabulous experience. read more

This place was busy. Good thing there's additional parking in the back. Came to grab a bite for lunch with a friend who was in the mood for Pho and it was the perfect spot. The food is authentic and their website even provides an article to give you insight on the couple that owns the place. The service was great and our drinks were refilled without having to even ask or look around. I had a taste for duck but it wasn't available so I went with stir fry (w/ Chicken) and it was yummy. Plus, it was enough to feed two people so I had yummy leftovers. Overall, I'll definitely be back and I recommend Lang Van if you have a hankering for Vietnamese food. Just be mindful of getting in and out of the parking lot. It's sits close to a busy intersection on Eastway. Go check them out for yourself! read more

My order was $27 and 6 shrimp in a large shrimp fried rice is crazy. The summer rolls were literally ripped and falling apart. 2 things: 1. PHO HOA on central Ave is waaaaaaay better! Lang van 2. The only reason I ordered from lang van is because it is 10 minutes closer. Next time I'll drive the extra 10 minutes. read more

Excellent! Absolutely excellent in every way. Best food and even better people. 100000 stars!

Delicious food! It's a fun experience eating at this Vietnamese restaurant. We love it here!

Absolutely love this place. This and Pho HOA on central are two favorite Vietnamese places. Whereas Lang Van feels more Authentic and less commercialized. I was pleasantly surprised by the iced coffee over condensed milk. It was very good. The Pho is pretty hard to beat, and the selection is huge. The lady opted for the stuffed yellow pancake... the summer rolls are the best in town... and vegetables are crisp and fresh! read more

This place was packed on a Saturday afternoon. Had to wait about 15 minutes for a table but not a big deal! Food tasted amazing and you can tell it's made fresh. Service was very attentive even when every table was full. Great vegetarian selection and I love that they weren't stingy with the vegetables. Will definitely be back to try more. read more

The atmosphere when I walked in was incredible. I was in Charlotte for work and decided to try out some Vietnamese food. Coming from California -- I have a high standard to Vietnamese food -- as it is the "Mecca" of all Vietnamese/Asian cuisines. I ordered my favorite dish "Banh Cuon" & was recommended the "Mi Xao Kho Thap Cam". The Banh cuon was OKAY -- I wouldn't order it again though because it's not like the orginal Banh Cuon -- They didn't have meat inside of it, just the noodle by itself. The other dish "Mi Xao Kho Thap Cam" was pretty good. I also got the Vietnamese coffee -- I can't lie... I've tried Vietnamese food all over the nation and most of them are super watered down and not that good. I would 10/10 come back -- the service was amazing, super friendly people, and food is pretty good if you know what to order. read more

Lang Van is not my favorite Viet food in Clt. I feel they get a lot of hype for mediocre food and service. Placed a togo with them recently and the price to portion ratio was crazy. I wasn't impressed with my order. Plus I had to call to let them know my friend was there to pick up the order. I ordered the Bun Thit Nuong with Cha Gio and an addition order of Cha Gio. My friend got the Curry Shrimp. She said it was spicy. She also said she felt like she was overcharged.

The food is excellent and the people here are the best part of the experience. The menu is very busy but you can simplify it by understanding many of the options are the same and have the protein modified. This is my goto spot for Vietnamese food. The coffee is excellent and a crowd pleaser. Keep coming and they will have it ready the moment you walk through the door. The prices are on the higher side but this is normal in this economy and not the exception. You could easily spend $100 with three people, don't let the appearance of a small spot make you think there are in expensive deals. You get quality food with great service for a fair price. I have eaten only a handful of items on the menu but my favorite are the wide noodles with a smoky flavor. The chicken, pork, and shrimp have all been excellent. There is additional parking in the back and it is hard to get in, you need to head north and make a right as you can't get in from across the street. If you haven't eaten here get this off your CLT bucket list. If you see me you are welcome to say hello, if I am alone you are welcome to join me. read more

We need to talk about how this might be the best restaurant in Charlotte. Look - the food is great. Fantastic cuisine. Amazing stuff. I highly recommend that you explore the menu. But the service is magical. There's no other way to put it. read more

Location in a rough part of Clt. Amazingly had a good amount of customers and seemed a popular for regulars. Service is good. They know how to sweet talk you... Food: had pho, rice plate, egg noodle dish, egg rolls, steamed rice crepes. Pho had good broth. Probably one the best broths in Clt. Portion was small for $14. 3 small pieces of tendon- common! Beef slices weren't great. Meatballs were soft (a good thing). Missing some cuts of meat (tripe, brisket, etc). No lime, lemon, common! - score 7.5/10 Rice plate was good, average at worst. - score 7.5/10 Egg noodle dish was the worst of the order. - score 5/10 Steamed rice crepes was the best platter we had. Very good. - score 10 Final thoughts- would go again if in the area. In a rough area. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but overall decent as they do have a nice selection of dishes. They have beer. read more

A Charlotte institution that cannot be imitated or duplicated! Kind staff, great food, & a wonderful atmosphere that feels like home!

Authentic pho restaurant with great service! I remember coming here at 3pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was still packed. Regardless, we were still served quickly and the servers were cheerful, friendly, and knowledgeable. - Pho dac biet (#26) / rare well cooked beef, tendon, meatball: This dish tasted decent. I'm used to pho filled with a ton of scallions, cilantro, etc. so to be honest it felt a little plain. However, I was able to adjust the flavoring on my own with the bean sprouts/mint/pepper/sauces. - Dau hu chien xa (#14) / tofu with lemongrass: I think it was a little bit undercooked because the texture was a bit hard when we ate it, but it was still tasty and we ate it all up quickly. read more

Lang Van is a hidden gem. If you like an authentic hole in the wall place, then this is it. The owners treat everyone like family and they have many regulars. Their menu is extensive, there's something for everyone. I'll admit, I'm not sure if I'd say the food is the absolute best I've ever had, but it's pretty damn good and when you pair that with the ownership and experience of eating at the restaurant, Lang Van quickly becomes one of my go to places to dine at. My recent go to order is shrimp summer rolls with the chicken lemon grass curry, order it medium heat if you like some spice and its perfect. read more

This place gets PACKED and it's easy to see why! The staff speed around to check in on all the tables--I never lacked for water and plates were always cleared quickly. The restaurant workers were a great team together, making rounds on all the tables and being so nice to all the customers. My table had steamed rice crepes for an appetizer, which was so refreshing and definitely whet our appetites. I was very satisfied with my pho, which was the first one listed on the menu (with rare steak, meatball, and I think brisket). The broth was great, and just what I needed to rehydrate from a hot day. My friends enjoyed their meals too, but I think their consensus was that the grilled pork was tastier than the grilled chicken. They take a lot of care in serving food and running this restaurant here. From the small details of cleaning all the veggies served to giving you parting sweets, no wonder they have a loyal customer base! read more

Fantastic place for Vietnamese Food... One of the best in the city. You can't go wrong with anything and everything on the menu!! Service is quick and courteous. You may have to wait a bit for a table, but they turn over tables quickly. read more

The old ladies at the counter she's so rude. She kept shouting and dragged me to the ground for just asking for the receipt and the bill breakdown. Act your age and grow, child!! read more

BEWARE! SHADY BUSINESS! Double check your receipts!!! I came here based on the reviews. The food was decent. We ordered 5 entrees, so the total bill should have been around $85-90 plus tax (average $16-18 per entree). They gave us a bill of $115. I asked the waitress (looked like one of the owners) if the tip was included, to which she replied NO. I calculated our total bill with tax (9.25%) should have been around $98 without the tips. So the $115 didn't make sense. I went to the front desk to ask for the itemized receipt. The same waitress/owner that served us calculated my bill and total came out to $86 before tax. When I asked her how she got the $115 from, she said there is a different person that prepares the bill, so she wasn't sure. Another older lady came to the register and said she would clarify the bill. After she entered our entrees totals, she said she got the $114 after adding $10-15 in tips (a random amount, not based on any percentages). Since the bill and totals are hand-written here, you have to double check what total they put in. It looks like if you order higher number of entrees, they add extra $10-30 to the bill for any unsuspecting customers with the expectation that the customers won't verify. Please double check your bill to make sure they are charging the correct amount. SHADY BUSINESS! We won't be back and won't recommend it to anyone! read more

Can I give this place more than 5 stars?? I absolutely love the owner, she has the best memory I've ever seen. You cannot go wrong with any dish but my personal favorites are the lemon grass curry, pineapple fried rice and spring rolls. Don't miss out on this Charlotte favorite! read more

My fifth stop on my first day visiting Charlotte for the first time. What's a third Vietnamese got to do when they are told Lang Van is the place to go for authentic Vietnamese food. Especially when Cafe Sua Da and Banh Xeo are served. You know it's authentic when you see on the left side of the restaurant is relegated to wait staff eating their dinner and some wrapping their utensils in white linen napkins. Then you hear the typical "guest is here" translation in English. I say mot nguoi, flying solo tonight. First the drip coffee, then the plate of fresh vegetables for my Banh Xeo. It's like going home to my birthplace. Last time I was there was about 5 years ago when I visited my parents who retired there, probably the last time since my mom passed away. Anyway.... You get seated at a table that has embroidered map of Vietnam. Then the decor of bamboo and paintings... Very authentic. Staff are very friendly. I will come back when I visit Charlotte again. Must visit! read more

I love coming to this place. The service is fast, the servers are very, very friendly with great hospitality. They have a menu full of different options - chicken, tofu, pho, noodles, rolls. The environment is small and intimate but there's still enough space for each table to have privacy. The decor is dedicated to Vietnamese culture. I've been coming here for over 10 years and the experience is always the same. Forever one of my favorite restaurants. read more

We drove about an hour to try this place. We were warned, but the wait was very long and too cold to wait outside. You don't give your name you just wait outside and as they clear the tables then people make their way inside. That said I thoroughly enjoyed my food. I love spicy/hot food so it was great for me. Unfortunately, for my husband it was way too spicy. The pancake was delicious. You can tell there are a lot of regulars. read more

Superb food. Very authentic with an extensive menu. The service is superior (and they can help navigate the menu to find a perfect choice).

Lang Van is an Eastside staple for Vietnamese food. Don't worry about what to order, everything is delicious, quick, and hot.

I have been wanting to try this place for months based on the great reviews I've heard. I don't eat Vietnamese food often so I went in with an open mind and no clue what I was going to order. On their specials list, there was a pineapple and pecan stir fry special. I've seen a lot of reviews of their dishes with pineapple so I did want to try something with pineapple included. I opted for the stir fry with shrimp as my protein. The food was delicious and the pineapple and pecans added a nice touch of sweetness to the dish. The portion was the perfect size. read more

I didn't even have time to take a picture because I was so busy indulging in the delicious flavors of Lang Van. upon walking in the owner greets you like your her best friend high fives and all. She really treats everyone like family even if it's the first time meeting. It's small but eclectic with the walls covered in articles and awards. Food was incredible had a noodle dish off the menu that was suggested to me with vegetables and a nice rich spicy flavor. Spring rolls and summer rolls both very delicious and authentic as well.

I was fortunate enough to join a group of friends at Lang Van's recently, and just as I remembered from when I lived in Charlotte and frequented this restaurant, it is a jewel! The food is fresh, fast, delicious and served with a smile. Servers will happily help you choose a dish to your liking if you aren't a regular or aren't savvy on Vietnamese food. While it is a small establishment, it is comfortable. And once you go, you will definitely want to return. I realized how much I had missed it and am already planning a return! read more
