    I was in the area and did a quick search for best Pho and this place popped up. I really wanted to like this place but thought it was just OK. The pho broth was salty but still lacked "something." It did satisfy a craving so there's that. Service was friendly. Ambiance reminded me of a typical Vietnamese restaurant that you'd find in Little Saigon (California).

    Great little spot. Unassuming small place. Good food. Egg rolls are good. Will be returning.

    Chicken fry rice.

    Do Not order the chicken fry rice. $12 paid for a kid meal size with lots of msg and the chicken was from overnight Costco chicken.

    Spring Roll

    My friend really enjoyed and praised the way her chicken fried rice tasted. You have the option to choose the protein on it. I got the Pho Dac Biet and it was ok. I can taste the star anise and other spices but the broth was kind of bland. It needs a splash of fish sauce. Service was great. It seems to be only one cook, cashier and a waitress so be patient when you place your order.

    Spicy Beef

    When you choose a menu item that says "Spicy Beef" you should believe it. That wasn't the problem for me. The beef was the problem--the taste was off and I sure didn't think it tasted like beef. The Spring roll was not something I liked but that was my personal taste not the food. The sauce was terrific. The place is smallish but had plenty of room for the lunchtime group there. Atmosphere was pleasant. Service was good and wait staff was friendly.

    Unfortunately the presentation of the food was the only thing that was great. The pho soups broth was not flavorful at all and the meat tasted as if it was old. Was very hard to eat so we pretty much didn't really eat it. The spring rolls were okay but the meat inside wasn't tasty, was old. The smoothie has too much ice, not a lot of flavor and the white tapioca was very unpleasant. It seemed as if it was in the freezer for a very long time, turned yellow and was not good anymore. The young man that served us was very nice though but unfortunately we won't be stopping by again,

    My favorite Pho place in Springfield . It's a great GEM in the wall. I ordered fresh spring rolls (7/10) and chicken pho.(9/10)

    Was not all that good

    I'd give this restaurant a 3.5. The service here has always been great but maybe it's also because I come here when nobody is here. And the only times I came here was when Hong Yen was closed. The pho here is okay- it's not bad but it's not amazing either. I really wish I could love this place but your taste buds don't lie. The people who work here are really sweet and friendly. The food though just isn't good enough for me to keep coming back. However, if you're not as picky as I am about asian food this might be a good spot for you.

    The fried egg rolls are delicious, but tiny. You need to have it with the fish sauce . And the Lemon-grass Pork grilled Banh Mi sandwich is on point. However, the Pho is okay (not greasy), but the Umai deep flavor is not developed. It seems like it is missing the Star Anise. It is still very good and you have to ask for veggies (like the bean sprouts, mint, that usually usually standard for Pho). Overall, very clean place for some simple Vietnamese food. I also think this is the best in town.

    Pho.  Chicken and noodles.

    I have not had one bad food experience here. I've had the Phō to the bān mì and they're all delicious.

    The chicken dish had one little chunk of what looked like canned chicken. The sauce seemed like watered down curry sauce.

    So yummy! Our first time eating Pho. It's a lot like ramen. We definitely will be back and we totally would recommend them.

    You wait for the places that matter. Not the ones that open with a whisper and a bland social media…read morecampaign. The ones that take their time. Hong Yen teased us since New Year's. A promise of something real, something worth the patience. And when they finally opened..a soft launch, no fanfare; you better believe I was in that parking lot shared with the Food4Less, off Battlefield and Campbell. Rainy day, cold weather in the summer. Surprisingly the perfect combination to enter this newly renovated addition to the shopping center. Their old location is gone. What stands in its place? Something else entirely. Three to four times the size. Four distinct sections. Booths, circle tables, rectangle tables, even a bar with stools. Seating at this hour is self-managed: a small act of trust that tells you everything about the warm chaos of a family-run operation still finding its rhythm. But the bones are solid. The vibe is an unexpected comfort. Soft piano drifts through the air. The lighting is warm, upgraded, inviting. Faux vines trail from corners, faux bamboo stands tall, a video screen plays peaceful landscapes of Vietnam. Paper lanterns hang alongside actual glass chandeliers. Golden fish with kanji watch over the room. It's a total upgrade from the old spot. This isn't just a restaurant moving locations. This is a statement of intention. We ordered. My fiancée went with the Pho Thai: that glorious, aromatic bowl of rice noodles in a broth that tastes like it's been whispering to itself for hours. Rich, savory, soul-warming. I ordered the Bún bò huê but asked them to swap the standard noodles for vermicelli. A small tweak. The kitchen didn't blink. The broth arrived dark, complex, spicy. The Central Vietnamese cousin to pho that doesn't get nearly enough love in this country. It had heat. It had depth. It had backbone. Our kid got a simple side of noodles. Needless to say, everyone finished their food. Every bowl scraped clean. That's the best review you can give a place. Spring rolls? Fresh. Generous. Bigger than usual, stuffed with care. The service? Quick, friendly, attentive, even while short-staffed. That's not easy. That's experience. Hong Yen is a gem. A real one. Great prices, genuine hospitality, a family atmosphere that welcomes strangers and treats them like regulars. People drive hours for this. Now I understand why. Worth the wait? Absolutely.

    Always start with a positive is my motto -the fresh spring rolls were delicious!! Would eat them…read moreagain. I ordered Pad Thai. It's hard to find a good Pad Thai here in Springfield and sadly that continues. The Pad Thai I ordered was nothing more then stir fried noodles that tasted like dirty grease. No sauce, no peanuts, no egg. And also the owners need to get the only two lads in the dining room some help. However the guys were exceptional considering how busy they were.
