    Pho with beef slice and brisket
    Tim C.

    I came here with my wife and I got their sliced beef and brisket pho and my wife ordered a beef vermicelli bowl. Both were delicious! My pho had plenty of meat, and the flavor of the broth was spot on. The size was generous and the toppings were great as well, all for a reasonable price. My wife's vermicelli bowl also was a generous portion and was tasty. Indoor seating at the restaurant is somewhat limited - there are only 3 tables with each table being able to seat 4-6 people, so many people ordered take out. The service was very friendly, and we got our food very soon after we ordered it.

    Vietnamese Tofu Sandwich

    The owner was extremely nice and accommodated changes my friend and I made to our meals. What I really enjoyed was that a lot of customers knew her by name, it showed me she always shows them kindness when they eat from her establishment. I wish the seating space was bigger but it didn't really matter because other diners were willing to share tables. Overall, I recommend this as a place to get great Pho in Charlottesville. There are plenty of other food and drink options available too!

    Wonton Noodle Soup (with rice noodles)
    Jennifer A.

    Loved this place!! We are visiting from Virginia Beach with my 3 kids, and found this gem! It's a small place with only 3 tables, seems to be more for takeout, but have the option to stay and eat. My husband is Vietnamese and from Richmond, so we have had our fair share of various Vietnamese cuisines. We had the bun bo hue(spicy), the pork vermicelli, and the wonton noodle soup! So delicious, my picky kids even ate well! They tasted fresh and homemade, their fish sauce was very well made also (makes a difference!). Not only was their food delicious, the owner was beyond sweet. She talked to us and took care of us like we were visitors in her own home. I wasn't expecting any table service, but she did ask on different occasions if we needed anything, more water, napkins, more fish sauce! Overall great experience, and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area!

    Everything always goes well at Nguyen's Kitchen! Food is fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We have never been let down in any aspect. The service is friendly, top tier, and they take the time to make our meals the way we request. Ambience is enjoyable, comfortable. We love eating at Nguyen's Kitchen whenever we come to C'ville!

    This place has moved. No longer a tiny hut with a table or two outside, they are now on the main…read morearcade. The interior space is still fairly modest but has some seating. As is often the case on this arcade, the restaurant also has a dedicated set of outdoor seats at the middle of the brick walkway. You'd think all of this would be an upgrade, but no. First, I ordered in advance online to spare myself a wait, not knowing that it was an actual sit-down restaurant. However, upon arriving at the space, there was no one to take an order if I'd wanted to place one, and only rarely did anyone emerge from the back with food. I just took a seat and waited. By the time someone acknowledges my presence after some fifteen or twenty minutes, my food was apparently already ready and just sitting there. I didn't leave a tip as my impression of this place was that they weren't really providing any service. There's nothing wrong with a counter service model rather than full table service, but one way or another they seem not to have figured out what they were doing. Other potential diners also seemed confused. Don't get me wrong, the good was great. My ginger lemongrass noodle soup delivered an explosion of flavors. Would order again. I just hope they improve the customer service experience, because this is a great opportunity for the average local to try some vegetarian Vietnamese food.

    Stopped by here for lunch with my girlfriend, and had some fresh rolls (tightly wrapped, the peanut…read moresauce was great!) and an OG banh mi each. The banh mi was soooo good! Especially for $11. The bread was the perfect thickness and toasted well, overall super yummy and filling. We ate outside and it was great, waitress was super nice, just amazing overall. Also this was our first time checking out the new location but we've always gotten vegan pho from here, it's so good! My girlfriend jokes that it's magical because eating it when she's sick always seems to make her feel instantly better.

This place offers a variety of vegan options, and notably you can get most of their dishes not just with vegetables or fried tofu, but the option existed to pay extra for organic tofu. It is reasonable to wonder whether it is worth the upcharge, but the result was a robust nutty flavor in my dishes that kept me full and satisfied. Maybe it was Hodo brand, but if not, there's something else out there of similar quality. I eat a lot of tofu, and you can tell the difference. I was less enthused with my chive cakes, which were just tremendously oily and also had a rather strong cruciferous smell. Would not order again. The laab, despite the quality tofu, was decent but did not blow me away. The green curry was full flavored, while the drunken noodles came up just one flavor note short; needing some vegetarian substitute for whatever they left out. Overall, this haul lasted me several days and the upsides were enough that I would come back for a different order.

I ordered takeout, and a smooth process had been implemented allowing me to quickly grab it. I liked that their online ordering system had a lot of checkboxes to customize things, but was nonplussed when I pulled out my vegetable soup with the "no cauliflower" option (which they clearly wrote on the container to remind themselves) but which did in fact have a bunch of broccoli and cauliflower that imbued the soup with a sulfurous foulness that I was hoping to avoid. Setting that aside, the rest of my food was quite good. Oddly, their curries are more vegetarian-friendly than some of their stir-fry dishes. I ordered my green curry Thai hot, and they delivered a ferocious dish with no questions asked, and a small sachet of extra dried chili that I didn't need to use for this and so saved for other food. The curry with some aromatic Jasmine rice hit the spot. Some vegetable rolls with very fine noodle threads made for a good snack later. I could certainly see coming back, ordering something different, and getting high quality food.

Server (Brianna) started out good, fairly attentive until I got my food. After I got my food I got one cursory "all good?" and that was it until I got the bill. Anyway, on to the food: ordered two meat plate (brisket and pulled pork) with fries and coles slaw. Fries were the highlight of the meal. Hot, crispy, seasoned...awesome. Cole slaw was good....but it was super tangy (vinegary) for my taste. Don't get it wrong, it was good, just hard to eat all of it thanks to the tang. On to the meat. Got a pretty good sized pile of pulled pork and a couple slices of brisket. Both meats were lukewarm at best. Pork was dry (thank goodness for the NC vinegar sauce). The brisket made up for the porks dryness, it was extra greasy and extra fatty. Like, for real, do you think people are going to eat the fat layer between the lean point meat and the fatty upper meat? Yeah, not me. But since the brisket was also lukewarm (more like lukecold) it really didn't make a difference. I did think the Vision BBQ sauce tasted pretty good. If Brianna would have come back by after I got my meal I would have sent it back....and probably would have just left without worrying over a replacement, or a comp, or anything. Secondary issue: went to the mens room. It was just nasty. You get once shot to make an impression, and this one was not good. Would not/will not repeat.
