Pho Hong is the backbone of the Burlington food scene. I've lived out of state for many years and I've never craved something as much as I crave Pho Hong. It's my first stop every time I come home. The food is amazing, and the service is unparalleled. I've never seen a service staff work harder than the servers here. When i was there this afternoon, the cashier was taking orders, serving tables, bussing tables, ringing people up - I don't know how he did it and kept track of everything AND had time to remember people's names and wish them a happy new year and a great day. The spring rolls are so delicious - I've tried a lot of spring rolls over the years and nothing compares the spring rolls here. I always get the 16 with tofu and it never disappoints. It's always really crowded here and there's limited seating so make sure to come early especially if you have a bigger group. It's also BYOB and you can bring whatever beverages you want! I usually get take out and have never had to wait longer than 25 minutes to pick up my food. read more

Best pho around! Bun dishes good too. I liked the beef with onions on rice noodles or the grilled pork. Mango salad is a must. Service is friendly and welcoming. Lace is simply decorated but clean and bright. I'm becoming a regular! read more

So glad I Thai-ed this place! Amazing friendly service, fantastic menu, and great food! Stumbled upon this pace while visiting a friend who had just moved to Vermont, after a big Vermont hike we were craving some Asian food and being new to the area we turned to Yelp for suggestions and alas pho Hong had great reviews and delicious looking photos and also a block from my friends new apartment! We got there just after 5 when they open for dinner hours (currently they close btwn 4-5 to have a gap between lunch and dinner service) and it was already bustling when we arrived. We chose to eat outside on the sidewalk patio and were seated right away and offered water and drinks ASAP. The menu is fabulous and everything is fresh and delicious and at a great price point. The bowls of pho looked amazing but we all wanted something less hot. We split an app of shrimp and pork spring rolls that come 2 large rolls per an order with delicious peanut sauce. I ordered #15 Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio after seeing a picture on the menu which is rice noodles cooked perfectly served with choice of protein (I got bbq pork) and served over romaine, carrots, cucumber, with spicy soy pepper oil and some adorable crispy fried egg rolls. So good! Super fresh and light, definitely recommend asking for a side of the peanut sauce bc it is so good over the rice noodles. (Table also has sriracha and hoisin). My friend got com chien fried rice which was a massive serving and smelled amazing! We both had extra for lunch the next day and the flavours were still amazing if not better! Not all, they do not sell alcohol but you can bring your own! We wish we had known, but all the locals knew how to do it right. The best part of pho Hong was not just the great food and awesome service, but the fact that it's away from the bustle of town and appears to be the local joint for dine in and takeout. People were constantly trickling in and it was so cool to be part of the local scene. My friend said she will definitely be ordering takeout from here as she settles into Vermont life! read more

Mango salad is next level and the pho broth is some of the best I've had. Quick friendly service even when they're slammed.

Great food. Take out can be a 20 min wait so order ahead. Get the large for $1 more. Bring cash! If you pay by credit add 3.5 processing fee to cover costs. read more

Stopped here with my partner and we came on a Friday night and it was packed. Which is always a good sign that the food is good lol. Took about 15-20 mins for a table and we ordered 2 bowls of pho which had all the meats. It was delicious! The broth was full of flavor and was so earthy and aromatic, so good! Would recommend this place! read more

Arrived at 5:10 on a Friday and was seated immediately. Quick service, great price especially for Burlington standards. Ordered the pork and vegetable egg rolls. Both solid. We ordered the beef pho with all the meat and #20 stir fry with chicken. Both were delicious. Left at 5:50 and there was a line to be seated, recommend coming early. read more

Wow I'm shocked this place was rated so highly. Had egg rolls did not really taste authenticly viet seemed closer to fillipino style. Nice sauce tho. Had the big bowl pho broth was good and well seasoned-but the meat was pretty tough cuts-which was pretty unexpected for me when it comes to pho Also had the Bun bah hu BBH the soup broth was well seasoned with a good balance of rich and sour with a hint of seafood. Also had an egg pancake which we enjoyed alot with a nice eggy but also crunchy texture with the toppings. The service is a mixed bag because I think that the servers are super nice and hospitable but I feel that they are super understaffed with only 2 waiters for such a big restaurant and such a large demand for take out. We had to sit and wait like 15-20 Mins and had to ask before a waiter even came to take our order. Also we had a to go order that took like 30+ mins and the restaurant was only like half full. Normally I don't even rate on service because I'm more about the food but the wait was so long I had to bring it up read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are amazingly nice friendly people. The restaurant is spotlessly clean. I so appreciate Pho Hong being my favorite Restaurant in Burlington. read more

Really can't say enough about how amazing this food is. Whether I am taking out or eating in, the quality and freshness is always 100%. The best Vietnamese restaurant in Burlington not only in Burlington but probably all of Vermont! If you go, do yourself a favor and get the mango salad, fresh spring rolls, any of the pho's or other dry noodle dishes. I've never had anything I didn't fully enjoy here! If you are craving something sweet by the end of your meal, get the mango sticky rice! It leaves me speechless every time! read more

When in Vermont, this is the place to dine. Food is fresh and made to order. Go early for this restaurant is extremely busy and try the duck! read more

Pho Hong - The Duck is Amazing! - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

Family and I were vacationing in St Albans and upstate New York from Texas and I hadn't had any Vietnamese food for about 10 days.....I was getting antsy.....found this place on Google and it had decent Yelp Reviews. THIS PLACE HAS SOME OF THE BEST PHO IVE EVER HAD. I am Vietnamese so pho was probably the first real food as a baby. Side note both my 4 year old and 1 year old both had huge servings and my 4 year old said it was the best pho she's ever had. I am literally still sitting at the restaurant now and I had to write this review! Yum!!!!! read more

I have been searching for a Pho place I can enjoy whenever I come to Burlington. Did not disappoint. The broth was superb and the service was extraordinary. You can tell they care about the quality and taste. Thank you. I'll be back often. read more

COVID really puts a damper on dining choices, especially when traveling and not being familiar with the area. Thanks to Yelp, we found Pho Hong. My chicken was slightly overcooked, but otherwise, very flavorful. Healthy sized portions, very filling. They did have a few tables outside and they were not offering inside dining at the time (end of June). read more

Pleasantly surprised with the pho here! It had flavorful broth and the price point was great! We came in 20 mins before closing for take out and they helped us no problem. The place is cozy and a great place to warm up during the cold winters. I recommend to go here with friends or for a casual date. read more

What can I add except that the food was delightful, the service was welcoming, and I intend to revisit?

We went looking for Thai but ended up here and glad we did. It was very busy but we didn't wait long to be seated. We were given menus and served tea which was so refreshing. I had Bun Ga Nuong with tofu. There was a huge amount of crisp fried tofu and it was sooo yummy. My daughter had chicken wings and said they were also flavorful. Plenty of off street parking. Staff was super friendly. Note: the prices reflect the cash price and this is noted at the register. There is an up charge for credit cards. read more

Great food and very kind staff. I go here a lot, very warm and spacious . My personal favorite is Beef Pho. Broth is sweet and savory, beef cooked well and has deep flavor. The deep fried rolls with pork are good. i couldn't remember the name lol. The sauce is great. They recently did a renovation to make the restaurant bigger and it is beautiful. i would give them 5 stars any day read more

You won't find a bad dish on the menu. This place rules, and the staff is very kind! My favorite is the house special fried rice, it's addictive. read more

Great local spot. Not touristy, but very TASTY! The portions are hearty and the flavors are deep and satisfying. We tried both curry dishes (one is "spicy" the other, Panang Curry, is mild) and we also got the Seafood Supreme (? Not sure that's the name, but it was good!) They have a busy take out business too. Can't wait to go back and feel all good inside! read more

So delicious, friendly, and speedy! Definitely coming here regularly now. Easy street parking and a parking lot.

This place was AMAZING!!! For sure recommend. The only negative of this place is the wait. It opens at 5 and we arrived at 5:30, it was very busy. Our waiter was very friendly. We had read another review that recommended what food to order. It was only two of us so we didn't order a lot. They have milkshakes, lemonade, and iced tea. They also have fountain sodas and water. For food we decided to share 2 dishes. First we got number #24 bahn xeo and #7 Pho tai. The bahn xeo is basically a crepe with meat and onions with lettuce on the side. It also comes with a dipping sauce. It was good. I thought it had too much onion for my taste but still good. What really blew me away was the Pho Tai. It was probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. The broth was very good, but what made this dish even better was that we added hot sauce. We didn't at too much but it was enough to give it a kick. I would definitely recommend doing that. The tables in this place are spread out a little bit so you have some room. It's not too loud. read more

Pho Hong - #7 Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Vermont

I randomly decided to get pho on a Tuesday evening at around 7:00 p.m.. Little did I know, so did every other person in the area. I came inside and all the tables inside were full, and half the tables outside were filled. I went up to the counter and put my name on the list. It took a while because they were so busy. After they finally got to my name on the list, all the inside tables were full, but he said I could be seated right away if I decided to sit outside, so that's what I did. Kinda regret it because there were mosquitos everywhere. It still took a while for my pho to come out, felt like forever after waiting to be seated, and being out in the humidity with the mosquitos. The pho itself was delicious. The broth was nice and rich and there was plenty of thinly sliced beef. A bit more expensive than I'm used to for pho, but I understand why it gets so busy. They're also a BOYB restaurant, which is pretty cool. read more

Amazing food every time I'm in, I highly suggest the #44! Service is always super friendly! Great atmosphere, I will always come back here!

You know, this place is just what every town needs: A hugely popular pho spot serving excellent appetizers, great teas, and of course, huge, steaming bowls of pho with flank steak, brisket, tripe, and meatballs. If that's not a ringing endorsement, I'll go into just a tiny bit more detail. First of all, the place is crowded, and rightfully so but it moves fast. We were quickly seated after waiting about 10 minutes in line at this popular establishment. I have to give props to the one guy running the register, talking to the kitchen, and answering phones all at once, it was truly impressive to see. Seating was ample indoors with a large group of people sitting outside as well. Now for the food. For appetizers, we ordered the Chả giò, fried egg rolls with cabbage, pork, and mushrooms. They were great as expected, piping hot and delicious. After that, we tried the Gỏi cuốn Spring rolls with shrimp and veggies. These were very filling and the shrimp tasted super fresh as well but I preferred the Chả giò. The pho itself was PHO-nomenal! (had to do it) The broth was hearty, flavor-filled, steaming hot, and seasoned just right. I had the large Pho Tai Nam with beef, tendon, and meatballs all cooked to perfection. If you love pho, please do yourself a favor and go here, it's everything you want plus a certain fresh, homemade quality that you don't get just anywhere. I loved seeing the busy kitchen in view with every stovetop running at full capacity. I'm looking forward to returning to this lovely yet extremely popular local favorite. read more

We were visiting Burlington from out of town in early February and were craving some hot soup on a very cold evening. We came relatively close to opening time and were seated very promptly. Within 10 minutes after we got our table the place was packed! Definitely try and get here early. The hot tea was plus (I wish I asked what kind of tea it was, slightly sweet and earthy). Pho was excellent (couldn't wait long enough to take a picture), and Vietnamese crispy pancake was delicious! Not oily at all and packed with ingredients. Would highly recommend this place for anyone who comes in the area read more

Hands down the best Vietnamese food in town. Lovely hardworking staff and great service! Quick service and amazing food. I've been a regular for a few years now and I have never left unsatisfied! :) read more

The folks here are truly happy you are there and work their butts off. The food is very good and the service is good...but they are often very busy. They turn out so much takeout that the front door should just be revolving. The ambiance is casual. Menu is great for meat eaters and vegetarians. The set up is not ideal for patrons or servers. The front counter is right in front of the door with seats to the left and right, but all payments and takeout occurs right at that front counter and on say 6pm on a Friday evening it is a bit chaotic - are people waiting to be seated, for pickup, or looking to pay? Who knows? I'd say they have mostly outgrown their location. Would love to see them relocate somewhere close by but with more room and a much better setup. But not too far because I love the food and the people! read more

Best pho I've had in the U.S. Now that's a big statement. Before Pho Hong in Burlington, VT was in Seattle which has some damn good pho. It was a cold rainy day in the fall and we ate the pho in our car and with the hot soup, the chilis, the extra limes I asked for. I really can't say more. Service is 110 percent and the pho is BOMB!!!! read more

One of our favorite Pho restaurants in town for dining or take-out. Staff is always friendly.

This is the best Vietnamese food anywhere. You can't go wrong on the menu. They expanded their popular restaurant to create more space. It's comfortable, lively and bright. read more

We were feeling slightly under the weather so of course we looked for somewhere to grab some pho! It was during the lunch rush but didn't have trouble getting a table. However there was only one woman working the floor so she was hustling all over the place and doing the best she could! We enjoyed the pho and the bun, which was wonderful since coming from Houston it's hard to top what we can get at home read more

An impressive spot that has a longstanding reputation for excellence. Delicious, consistent food. Recommended.

I love it here. Wish i could come here everyday and get the beef pho. melting on my tastebuds every time. read more

Amazing, 10/10. Fantastic food and service. Ambiance isn't noteworthy because the food takes center stage. Go here!

Pho Hong has been consistently excellent for years. the chicken vermicelli is second to none. Unfortunately, their food is slipping. last night, Tuesday at 5:30 we took Home an order of chicken vermicelli that was oily. most of the chicken had been recooked, was hard and inedible. Had we been in the restaurant we would have sent it back. I know good employees are hard to find. Quality control is important to their customers. They are slipping. read more
