    I really like this place. The chicken Phó is amazing. The broth is so tasty. The noodles have a great consistency, never mushy or hard. The veggies, chicken, all cook right. The staff are friendly and there were many of them but it did feel a bit cold. The restaurant is decorated nicely and even being very busy it was clean. This one is all about the Phó!

    This was my first experience here and omg i will be back. I had the seafood pho and a fresh spring roll . The pho was literally a warm hug in a bowl, like if I were sick I'd want a giant bowl od this. My only complaint was that due to how hot the broth was it continued to cook the squid which unfortunately made it very chewy. Other than that the remainder of the seafood was great. The spring roll was absolutely delicious especially with the peanut sauce and a hit of Sriracha. I cant wait to go back. If it weren't for the overcooked squid this would have been a 5 star

    We went for my father's birthday. We are got something new except for the Vegetarian Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut sauce that we always delicious. Its one of our favorite appetizer there. This time i got the vermicelli beef salad. It was absolutely delicious. To be honest, I think the leftovers were more delicious then when I got it at the restaurant on Sunday night. It is so why people marinated their food overnight. We were in the main room and it wasn't as loud compare to the back room.

    It's been so long since I've been here (definitely pre-COVID), but the bigger space was a nice surprise! It meant for quicker seating even during a dinner rush. The food was delicious and the entrees were large portion sizes (aka leftovers, yay!) - the chicken wings were juicy inside and crispy outside. Not everyone in our party could handle spice, so chicken wings with no sauce was our choice. So so good, so I am curious about the sauces now!

    Pho Hien Vuong is hands down the best pho in Greensboro (near UNC). It's always crowded and busy and parking can definitely be a challenge but that's how you know it's good! The broth is rich and flavorful, the portions are generous and everything tastes and smells fresh; especially the fresh green herbs, Totally worth the wait every single time. If you love pho, this will become your go-to!

    I walked in at exactly 11:01 am to beat the crowd. I've heard this place can get pretty crowded. First thing I noticed is all of the employees were sitting down eating their own food which is always a gd sign lol. Next, the establishment looked spotless and smelled very clean. Decided to introduce my mom to this place as the food is so good. We got ours to go. Food items we chose: shrimp spring rolls, beef drunken noodles, chicken basil lunch soecial with white rice and a spring roll. Food was very very fresh, hot, Flavorful. Excellent and nice customer service. I would totally return, but would eat inside next time around.

    10000/10 would recommend Pho Hien Vuong! I waited about 20 minutes for lunch on a Saturday which felt very reasonable. After being seated we were waited on and served fairly quickly for how busy the restaurant was. I ordered a fresh spring roll with shrimp and it was amazing. I was nervous to try the dipping sauce but I ended up enjoying it so definitely give that a shot. For my meal I went with the Special Beef Pho. The broth was flavorful and could not have been any better. The selection of toppings was plentiful, with hoisin, hot sauce, and chili oil on the table as well. It was fairly crowded during the meal but it did not feel too loud or overwhelming ever. The servers were quick, knowledgeable, and attentive. I will definitely be coming back the next time I want good pho!

    Love Pho Hien Vuong! Great spot for a quick work lunch. I have not been out here in quite a while and was tickled to see that they finally paved their back parking lot. Parking used to be quite a challenge. They stay busy during lunch but we've never had an issue getting in and out in less than a hour. They have a nice selection of daily lunch specials. My usuals are the beef with onions and green beans or the thin rice noodles with fried tofu. I also love the chicken pho but usually wait until cooler weather settles in to order that tasty vat of delicious soup. Another favorite among my friends is the shrimp pad Thai. Specials come with a fried spring roll and tangy dipping sauce (not served with the pho or veggie street noodles). The spring roll filling has a different filler than what you might expect from your usual roll. It is not my favorite in town but that has never stopped me from eating hundreds of them over the years. Service is always fast and friendly. Make sure to grab yourself a punch card so you can earn a free entree. It is never too loud in the dining room no matter how busy so you are able to carry on a conversation without yelling. I have been eating here for about 2 decades and have never been disappointed. Quick, tasty, reasonably healthy lunch, with good service.

    Met a co-worker here for lunch and even though it was really busy, we were seated fairly quickly. The service was excellent throughout. I ordered the shrimp noodle plate and it was fantastic. I noticed they had drinks on the menu too--something I'll have to try another time since this was a work lunch. Judging by the crowd and how smoothly the staff handled it, this place is definitely a hot spot. Great food and great service.

    Visited 27 SEP My son brought us here during our Parents Weekend visit to Wake Forest. It was one of the three that he offered up. We chose this one because we don't have good access to Asian cuisine where we live in Illinois. I have always said that you can tell the quality of a specific category of food by seeing the people of its origin dining there. There were people from all walks of life the night we visited. I suspect that is always the case. We had wait of about 30 minutes on a Saturday night, another good sign. The restaurant is in a semi industrial area. The parking is just okay, we got lucky. From the outside it looks no better than any other strip mall type place, do not be put off by that. The interior is fine, but also nothing special, it has the same "style" of many other Asian restaurants. The furnishings are worn, but solid, we sat in a booth. I had pork fried rice, I had been craving good fried rice for months. The taste was spot on, the rice was perfect texture and moisture level. The pork was exceptionally well seasoned, and that perfect amount of tooth feel that I prefer. I like it not quite crispy, and almost as if it is was cooked the day before and reheated. My wife had been craving something with fish sauce (pretty specific), but it is a staple from her childhood. What we have available around us is the commercial americanized version. So she got a Vietnamese street noodle dish. She was very happy with it. The portions are pretty large, she couldn't finish. I didn't finish my fried rice either. My son got his favorite (he has been here several times) Beef Pho. It looked and smelled great and he smashed it all. He and I both started with a fresh spring roll, big fresh shrimp and a great dipping sauce. The prices are very reasonable and our service was effective, even though everyone was hustling about trying to turn the tables over and manage the crowd. We would absolutely come back here when in the area.

    Update: Still 5 stars all the way! The service, the food, and the value are unbeatable. Pho Hien Vuong never disappoints!

    This place has always been a gem in Greensboro. Always crowded but they have really good Pho! Surprisingly I didn't want pho when I went, tried something new. The grilled pork plate which was delicious! I asked for extra cucumber and tomato. The pork was flavorful and juicy! The appetizer tray is a must if you're with a group or on a date, great to share. I've been here years ago and I forgot how good it was! Will be back and recommend this to anyone looking for some good Vietnamese food!

    It's not often that I have a weekday off while my wife is working, but when I do, I always offer to take her out to lunch. She's always excited when I show up at her office--and this time was no different. That morning, she took a few minutes to look up lunch spots near her office and read through some reviews. After narrowing it down, she suggested something a little outside our usual picks: pho. As it turns out, she'd been to Pho Hien Vuong before with some coworkers. Back when we lived in a colder climate, she had this small tradition she called "snow day, pho day"--anytime it snowed, that was her go-to lunch. Warm, comforting, and just the right kind of ritual to make a gray day feel better. So, Pho Hien Vuong it was. I picked her up around noon, and though the parking lot was packed, we managed to find a spot. Inside, there was a line of people waiting to pay--always a good sign. Despite the crowd, we were seated almost immediately at a window table near the front. From there, we could see more and more people arriving, confirming what we already suspected: this place is popular for a reason. The menu is extensive. My wife ordered the Special Beef and Seafood Pho--steak, meatballs, shrimp, scallops, onions, and beef broth--minus the calamari. I went with the Special Beef Pho, which includes steak, meatballs, onions, and broth. We enjoyed catching up and chatting about weekend plans while we waited. Our food arrived quickly and looked (and smelled) amazing. Neither of us had had pho in quite a while, but we were impressed with how generous the portions were--both in terms of ingredients and the accompanying basket of fresh herbs, lime, jalapeños, and bean sprouts to customize our bowls. Absolutely delicious, and we'd highly recommend it.

    Do all of the pho broths have cinnamon?

    Does anyone know if you can get pho to go?

    Most definitely! They'll pack the soup and the noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy. As well as all the veggies!

    So PHOing good! (Not sure if that breaks Yelp's terms of service but I'm living on the edge today.)…read more This local family run spot has it down. An unassuming place from the outside, but a great interior space that is clean and inviting. Couldn't believe how fast service was, and how fast the amazing food came out. It was a weekday lunch, but it filled up quickly, and the well oiled machine was running smoothly in here. The food is top notch. Started with a fresh spring roll that was full of flavor. It was huge, no skimping here. And for $2.50 it's a steal. Went with the lunch shrimp pho for $11.50. Everything for lunch is $9.50-$11.50, and the rest of the menu is also well priced. I couldn't believe the size of this lunch portion. Whoever said size doesn't matter in regard to food is kidding themselves. And the size wasn't the biggest surprise...this was one of the best pho dishes I've ever had! The separate plated bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and lime were unbelievably fresh. The beef broth was full of flavor (choice of chicken broth as well), shrimp perfectly cooked, and noodles delicious. I can't say enough about the extra chili crisp sauce on the side. This is gold. Took the flavor to a whole other level. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. This spot is top notch, and the prices are very affordable, especially given the portion size and top quality food. Go...you won't be disappointed.

That disqualifies it from being a hole-in-the-wall, but owing to its location, it is still a hidden gem. The service remains fast and friendly and the food excellent. For this visit, I forced myself to try something other than their stellar pho and went with a fresh roll and a beef banh mi. The fresh roll, filled with shrimp, noodles, and cucumber, was crisp and paired nicely with a peanut sauce. The banh mi's baguette didn't reach Banh Mi Saigon levels, but in fairness, nothing does. It was still a tasty sandwich, offering plenty of beef and toppings (pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapenos) alike. I may not get out to this area of Greensboro very often, but when I do, Jakjin is my go-to lunch option. Do yourself a favor and make it yours as well.

We grabbed a few of items from the trays in front to tide us over sat down to eat those and made a plan to run to Super G Mart then come back. We always get the shrimp summer rolls and they were amazing as always. I just love them! We tried some mochi dumplings which had a paste type filling. I liked the flavor but the filling texture wasn't my favorite. We also got a gelatinous rice stuffed with pork and wood ear mushrooms wrapped in a banana leaf. The filling was nice but the texture was again something that wasn't my favorite so my husband got to eat it all by himself. We got a Che(dessert in Vietnamese) from the reach in refrigerator that was delicious. Later, we came back for Banh Mi. We ordered the #4 with Pork and the #5 New Orleans which was chunks of more savory roasted pork. The two Banh Mi were similar but when I tasted the meat it had distinct flavor differences. I loved both of them and would not hesitate to order either in the future. Earlier in the day, the line was quite long and the tables were full of happy customers. Later when we returned, it was less crowded but still a steady stream of people coming and going. Kudos for how hard these guys work because they never get a break.

You are able to still walk up and order at the register as well. There are still tables available for dining in. Most customers appeared to be picking up orders, while a few others did dine-in. Ordered the bbq beef sandwich and an order of spring rolls with their peanut sauce. In addition to the fresh ingredients, the bread is still quite tasty. I do enjoy the bbq flavor of the beef, just enough jalapeño slices to give a bit of spice. The veggies are a good balance of crunch with the bite. You can always order the bread to take home if you're a fan as I am. I decided to grab the Thai tea as well. Overall a nice lunch, and happy the service is as I recall.

I simply got bao buns -- seemed appropriate, plus what is better than a good pork bao bun? And these were excellent. Some of the best in-a-restaurant pork bao buns I've encountered. Interior seating and atmosphere is somewhat less than bare bones -- a few communal tables, and a few little metal high tops; it fits the small bao shop aesthetic, though it's always a little dispiriting to sit at a table that's still dirty from multiple previous meals. But, the bao buns were great -- very flavorful char siu style pork, and a very evenly distributed amount of little extras to keep the pork company. And the buns themselves were perfect.

Takeout seems very common here as well. 2 additional tables outside if the weather is nice. Went with a pork banh mi sandwich and fresh shrimp rolls. Everything was made to order and came out quickly. Rolls were huge! Fresh and tasty all around. Pork was tender and full of flavor, bread itself was also super fresh with a great crunch. The food alone is 5 stars, but the prices would raise the bar to 5+ stars if possible. The value you get for what you pay is amazing. Almost everything on the extensive menu is $11 or less, and many in the range of $6-$7 including my sandwich and spring rolls. When you're paying $15-$20 at many other places for the same thing, you can see the value here. Compare this to the rising costs in the fast food industry for significantly less quality food, and you can consider this a steal. Great spot for a quick lunch, takeout, or dinner with a few friends and family at a place that doesn't break the bank.
