This was my first time at Huong Vietnamese Restaurant, and what first caught my attention was their…read morehuge selection of dishes. I don't think I've ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant with so many options! The moment I saw the menu, I told my boyfriend, "This is where we're eating today." And I'm so glad I made that decision. The moment we stepped inside, we already had a feeling we picked the right place. The old-school interior, the '70s and '80s music playing in the background, and the overall vibe just made me think, "Yeah, this place is going to be good." We ordered the gỏi đu đủ tôm thịt (green papaya salad with shrimp and pork), bánh bột lọc (tapioca dumplings), bánh mì thịt heo (grilled pork bánh mì), phở tái sườn bò (beef noodle soup with rare steak and beef ribs), and phở đặc biệt (beef pho combo). For the drink, we ordered iced vietnames coffee. The green papaya salad wasn't too fishy from the fish sauce, and I really enjoyed the subtle sweetness and how light and refreshing it tasted. The bánh bột lọc was a 10/10 for me. The dipping sauce and fried onions made it even better. It just disappeared into my mouth! I could've easily eaten more. When we ordered the bánh mì, we didn't really read the description or realize how big it would be. When it came out, we were shocked by the size! I also liked that the vegetables were served on the side, so we could add as much or as little as we wanted. It tasted amazing, and we enjoyed every bite. We actually ordered so many appetizers because we thought the pho portions were going to be small. Based on the reference photos and the price, we weren't expecting the bowls to be that big. But when the pho came out, we were shocked. The bowls were huge! We definitely underestimated the portion sizes here. One thing I noticed about the pho was that it tasted a little different from what I'm used to. The broth was much more herbal and aromatic, with a gentler taste rather than that strong, pungent hit on the tongue. It made me wonder if this is closer to what traditional Vietnamese pho is supposed to taste like. Just a heads-up, you pay at the counter when you're done eating rather than waiting for the server to bring the check. On our way out, we also grabbed a steamed rice cake to take home. Definitely try one if you see them because they're so good! I actually think they taste even better at room temperature rather than heated up. Everything we ordered came in such generous portions, especially for the price. Nothing tasted overly salty or overpowering, which I really appreciated. Everything tasted fresh, and I was genuinely impressed by the quality, portions, and value. I'm so glad we decided to try this place. With such a huge menu, there are already so many other dishes I want to come back for!

Pho Chef - Columbus, OH 1186 Kenny Centre Mall…read more Quick Info (Read This First): * Price per person: $12-$16 * Wait time: ~10 min * Noise: Low * Seating: Booths + tables * Order type: Kiosk, counter, or delivery (Chowbus, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) * Vegetarian options: Yes * Kid-friendly: Yes * Wheelchair accessible: Yes * Parking: Free lot Ordered: * S7 Curry Chicken Rice Noodles - $13 * B1 Grilled Pork Sandwich - $7.50 Skip the Sandwich * Cold bread, sweet sauce (tasted like hibachi yum yum), thin pork * Not inedible -- just... why? Noodles Were the Better Pick * Curry-forward broth with solid heat * Real chicken breast * Veggies fresh, though jalapeños looked like they had beef with the prep person * Noodles overcooked (hello, soggy Maruchan memories) * Wouldn't reorder, but glad I tried it -- way more flavor than I expected Final Verdict: I wouldn't return -- long drive, and there are way more flavorful options in Columbus for the same price (or a little more). But this is a good pick if: * You're already nearby * You've got picky eaters or kids * You want something pho-ish, fast, and affordable How I Got Here: This wasn't the plan. I drove to XIXIA in Pickerington -- and it was closed. Looked up the next closest one... far. But Pho Chef popped up right next to it, and the name felt familiar. Then I remembered -- my cousin had once recommended "Pho Chef." So I stopped. Sat down. Checked the text thread... and none of her recs were on the menu. Wrong Pho Chef? For sure. But the staff was kind, the place was calm, and I was too hungry to get back in the car. So I stayed. And while I wouldn't come back -- I'm still glad I got a story and a curry broth out of it. To whoever runs the other Pho Chef: Tell my cousin I'm still coming. #LetJessTellIt #PhoChefColumbus #ForkAround

I got the stirfried chicken ramen, which is tender flavorful chicken, noodles, and tons of fresh veggies. I got it spicy, which was a little hot. But I like that. It was a rainbow of flavors and textures. Probably reasonably healthy, definitely incredibly tasty. I also got the fried jerky, because why not? Apparently it's a Laotian thing. I got mild with the spicy sauce on the side, and the jerky itself was pretty hot. The spicy sauce was not any more spicy, but was very flavorful. The jerky was thin, and crispy. Not all that different from some regular jerkies. Very good. A big portion. Came with perfect sticky rice. There was a fair amount of heat in everything except the rice. I like heat, but if you don't, order carefully. I believe there is a no spice option below the mild. Portions are good, prices are good, food is fantastic. Order was ready on time.
