John was our waiter he is awesome . We go to this place once or twice a month. Best service & Pho around Cincinnati.

I was passing through Cincinnati from Nashville to Toledo & stopped by this place for lunch. Oh my word it's so good! I ordered the pho with brisket and rare steak. They are generous with their meat portions, the broth is both savory and fresh, The restaurant itself is really cool with a fun atmosphere. Love the colors and decor. Our waiter was top notch and checked on us as needed (not too much and not too little- just right). I highly recommend this place! read more

Outstanding food. Fresh and delicious. The service was excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant was spot on.

I've been hiding under a rock because I can't believe I've never been here before.This place was AMAZING! When we got there it was packed but we were seated pretty quickly seeing as they were short staffed that day. The foooood was soo good.We started with a few appetizers a few rolls(I got the ones with shrimp and pork as pictured). When I finally got my Pho I was completely silent because I was could stop eating.Just know I will be back for more Pho..highly recommend! read more

This is our GO TO place when we are looking for some good soup. We have been going here since they were a smaller business and we still go here. The pho here is so good and very authentic. We also get the Com Tam Ga Nuong (Chicken) which is essentially a chicken and rice plate that is very yummy. The serving size is very good. The best appetizers personally I think are the egg rolls and the chicken wings. read more

Papaya Salad had nice heat to the cooling salad. Banh Mi Ga (chicken) was a good balance of fresh banh mi vegetables, chicken and one of the best breads to have on the banh mi. Just the right amount of crunch and softness for such a sandwhich read more

Don't get me wrong, I love Pho lang tang. I love their Pho. I love their banh mi sandwiches. I love anything Vietnamese, I have been to Vietnam and I loved it !! But Pho Lang tang differs from the opulent colorful Vietnam in one essential way - it was freezing !!!! Bring a cozy jumper or a coat ! To be fair we were sitting at the bar. Quite near the door. It was freezing outside, but come on, turn the heat up a bit - but also the restaurant LOOKS cold. A Apart from one large colorful mural the space is kinda sparse - the area just inside the door is cathedral like in its sparseness - maybe a plant or a divider, maybe some furniture? Would make it more homely - in general the whole place could do with a bit of softening up. From the sparse walls to the "alley" behind the bar ! But the food is great. The staff are great. Just wear your winter socks ?! read more

First time at Pho Lang Thang today. Kate was wonderful server and had the best recommendation for the Bún Gà Nuong, it was AMAZING!! We will definitely be back soon! read more

We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation for five. They promptly seated us, and because it was happy hour for another 10 minutes or so, our server suggested apps and drinks. We did both (wings, vegan salad rolls, and lychee martinis. We were especially happy with the lychee martinis because our place back home took them off their menu about a year ago). We all had soup (vegan pho, chicken soup, and two meat pho). Our dishes were excellent. Even the kiddo who has a difficult time trying new things loved his. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. read more

Pho Lang Thang - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Not the spot for me so I'll keep it relatively short. I forgot to take a picture of my wings because I was extremely hungry (oops, phone did not eat first). They were fine - you can not do all flats which is usually a request I'm willing to pay extra for. I was craving a fresh roll, usually called a summer roll and I was also mildly disappointed in those - there is a pork chunk in the "shrimp and pork" version. I'm sure some people really like this style but I enjoy the fresh style roll to be lighter and the way this one was just didn't do it for me. Great peanut sauce though. Nothing was wrong with the service and the restaurant looked clean when I went to pick up my take away order. I'd be willing to come back and try some Pho! read more

If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese pho that's good, don't come here. If you're asian, don't come here. Brought my family from out of town here to enjoy some pho but left disappointed. The pho literally had no flavor. When we complained to the waitress, they even agreed that the pho here is americanized stating that they don't put fish sauce in it because people complain about the fishy smell. At this point don't even call it pho. Also I do not recommended the specialty sodas. We got the dragonfruit soda, which tasted like diabetes and the xi muoi soda which tasted bitter. We complained and only got the sodas removed from the bill, we still payed full price for 3 overpriced bowl of pho totaling to around $50. Which is ridiculous. Only thing that was good was the bánh mì but how can you mess up a bánh mì? Would have been super disappointed if y'all mess this up too. I don't understand how this place had good reviews. Overpriced. Americanized. read more

This is your best Vietnamese food stop within Cincinnati. They make delightful Bahn mi's and have a special pho French dip sandwich available Tuesday - Thursday. As for appetizers, I'd recommend the salad spring rolls. If you love mushrooms, you must order their vegan salad roll. It's comes stuffed with crimini mushrooms. The peanut hoisin sauce that's served with the dish is the star! It has the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors with a smooth texture contrasted with crunch peanuts in each bite! So delicious and worth every penny. You get two nicely sized rolls for 4 dollars. The pho is also good. I've tried the chicken and rare beef pho. Unlike other reviewers, I've never had an issue with my bowl of pho being luke warm. Every order I received has been piping hot. I have a couple concerns and the reason why I would not give the pho 5 stars is because of the following: 1) inconsistency-- when I first tried the chicken pho it was jam packed with flavor. However, the past two times I've ordered it, it's tasted watered down and the meat was too over cooked. I've also experienced similar issues with the beef pho. 2) overcompensating-- sometimes the pho is way too oily. It's as if you watered it down and just decided to add lard. I've only had this happen to me once, but my order that day had an unpleasant mouth feel and taste. Sometimes there's also too much black pepper in the beef pho. In agreement with other reviewers, I recommend focusing on using the base ingredients to obtain flavor without depending on the spices you add afterwards. A true beef pho doesn't need that much black pepper. Overall I still like Pho Lang tang and plan on going back for more. It's one of my favorite spots in Findlay Market and they always have pleasant service. Note: on weekends if you go during prime lunch hours you may have to wait in line. Though the restaurant can seat a good number of people, at times you may need to wait 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your party. read more

So we've not eaten out in months due to Covid. We're visiting our son in Cincy & chose to get Banh Mi sandwiches. I requested Chicken Banh Mi. The meat was white meat chicken which is always my preference. It came with strands of cucumber, carrots, lemongrass, & cilantro. The lemongrass was awesome tasting. The chicken I'd say was average. I've ordered the same in Clearwater, FL where I live, & the chicken is more marinated & flavorful back home. The baguette it came on was good, but seemed extra thick. Over all though, the sandwiches were very good. read more

Pho Lang Thang - My Banh Mi chicken sandwich. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Consistently great food! Pho Lang Thang has been my Vietnamese go-to in Cincinnati since I've moved here, back when they were inside the main Findlay Market area. I like that you can order pho with sliced beef, meatballs, or even tripe if you're more adventurous. Their portions are generous and I personally can't finish a bowl in one sitting. It probably doesn't help that I also like to order their Vietnamese summer rolls as an appetizer. Anyone who has had a one-day old summer roll knows you can't fake fresh - the wrapper gets dry so quickly! I've never been disappointed with their rolls or their peanut sauce. I also want to give a shout out to their Vietnamese coffee! Since the pandemic started, I have gone through 4 bags of the stuff, making it at home with condensed milk. In person, I like that you can get it hot or iced. Lastly, I find that their take-out is just as high quality as their in-house presentation and quality. Looking forward to picking up lunch shortly. read more

The place is decorated nicely and clean. The server was friendly and service was fast; however, I have to deduct two stars because of the food. Ordered the pho here and the broth tasted like watered down broth. Meat quality is good but the broth should be the real star. read more

Not super amused. We arrived at 3:30pm on a Sunday and they were out of just about anything vegan that we wanted. Our kids didn't eat. We had already committed to being there. I got the vegan pho with added mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There was zero flavor. None at all. My husband got some kind of rice noodle salad thing and it was pretty decent (the reason for 2 stars instead of 1.) Our kids ate off of his. I tried the fried tofu and it was pretty good. *Vegans watch out, some of their menu items labeled vegan are actually not vegan. Our waitress informed us when we asked about it that yes, the menu was mislabeled. Oh- the wallpaper in the bathrooms were pretty amazing, that's about it for me. We will not return. read more

The food here is amazing!! I get pho every time and have tried a variety of their appetizers. They've never let me down! If you are looking to try the summer rolls I would suggest getting there early because they seem to always sell out (rightfully so because they are delicious). I will say the servers I have had are pretty attentive. I don't know why it's taken me so long to review this place but I have been around 6-7 times and I've literally never been disappointed! read more

Best spring rolls and chicken Bun around! Food is always fresh and portions are filling.

I had wonderful memories of my first time at Pho Lang Thang, at their former location. Having a yen for Vietnamese, a friend of mine and I went there for lunch today at their new location. We both had the beef Pho and were disappointed. It lacked flavor, unlike the delicious Pho I've had there in the past. The vegetable appetizer was just as tasteless. How I miss Song Long in Roselawn...!! The bar is incredibly long, which perhaps tells the visitor about their priorities. But I will give five stars to their utterly delicious Vietnamese coffee!! read more

Adjacent to the Findlay Market in what seems to be a booming area, this place opened at 11 the day I visited, and by the time I entered 11:05 or so it was already quite well-attended. It had a rather industrial, high-volume vibe, and I got quasi-bar seating in front. It's not a full-on vegetarian placae, but the plant-based crowd is clearly a focus for them. Their veggie pho is nice in that it offers lots of options for which ingredients you can get (and you're not getting anything you don't want). I went for the full suite of tofu, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, and even a medium bowl was quite filling. On first bite, the flavor wasn't overly impressive, but as with many of these soups, the plate of fixins, including bean sprouts, jalapenos, and various leaves, is really what makes it sing. I was quite satisfied by the end of my meal. Still not the absolute peak of veggie soups, but plenty good enough that I would come back to sample the rest of their menu. read more

Pho Lang Thang - Veggie pho with the works - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Delicious Banh Mi!! Our server little Amy was fantastic and very attentive. Would recommend

I feel bad writing this because I loved my experience in their old Findlay market location and I was so excited to finally try their new and bigger location just opposite Findlay market. The place wasn't too busy for a Saturday evening but got packed by the time we left. Between my friend and I, we ordered 3 things. We split the vegan salad roll. He got the Pho with meatballs and I got the vegan Pho with tofu and mushrooms. The vegan salad roll doesn't pack the same punch or it's just not the same anymore. I've loved their salad rolls in the past and I've had the ones with shrimp and pork and this wasn't even close. Their peanut sauce is still pretty good. Coming to Pho, my friend thought his meatball one was alright. Just alright. I didn't like mine. The broth wasn't flavorful and felt almost bland. I tried reviving it with hot sauce on the tables. The veggies were alright but the tofu had no seasoning to it. The service was pretty good. Food came in quickly and our server was very attentive. read more

Pho Lang Thang - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The ambience of the restaurant reminds me of a typical Vietnamese restaurant in Vietnam (from the signs to the decor and music) so the ambience was perfect - however I'm a food reviewer- I only care about taste. The service was also just ok - it was a bit slow. We had 1. banh mi thit nuong- the meat wasn't grilled and lacked flavor. The mayo tasted like American mayo (not Vietnamese) 2. bun thit nuong- the noodles were iced cold (it should be warm or at least room temperature- the meat was also so bland 3. Pho- the broth had no flavor - and the broth was dark when it should be clear and yellow. 4. coffee- it was watered down (not like a traditional strong drip Vietnamese coffee 5. mango soda - was a total let down This location is a nice location close to Findlay Market - you pay a premium price but the food was not premium. I would much rather go to pho kimmy or Paris banh Mi (much more authentic) read more

My favorite restaurant! They have the best Pho in the city. Noodle Bowls are always freshs.

as always we had an amazing meal here! our server lil amy was wonderful, sweet, and timely! couldn't recommend this place enough.

Great food and atmosphere! You can't get good quality Pho anywhere else. Highly recommend Linh Amy, she was so friendly!

First time here, service was fine but was extremely disappointed by what we had which is 2 bowls of Pho and one shaken beef. The pho broth is so bland... to the point where I can replicate the same dish with just boiling water and pho noodles. The slices of meat and meatballs were fine but the broth is just so so bland. The shaken beef on the other hand was way too salty and I cringe whenever I bite into one but my friend still forced himself to finish it. Besides the service everything food related was either bland or very salty and no in between. read more

Little Amy was so friendly and welcoming! Great service and food! We all had the pho, pork rolls, and soku

Ordered via DoorDash as I was working. I paid EXTRA for meatballs ($2.50) and was given 1 meatball cut in half. This was a disappointment as I usually go to a different location but wanted to try this location this time. Can't do it again. Coming from Los Angeles, this doesn't compare unfortunately. read more

Little Amy was the best. Taught us and recommended an excellent meal. Great food and great service. Highly recommended.

The food is good but when u consider that there is way better food for a cheaper price elsewhere in Cincinnati... the service is excellent and staff are friendly, but I would say that this place is overpriced and not authentic.. the drinks and cocktails are really nice here, but I wouldn't choose to go here unless I was stuck on OTR without a car. read more

Great food and service from our server Li'l Amy! Highly recommend this place to eat at or get take out from!

Being from CA, I was glad to find this place to satisfy my pho cravings. My only gripe would be the price. With tip, a combination can easily cost $25. read more

I did not expect this place to be as popular as I thought it was! They were on a reservation basis but we got jn just in time. My first pho- maybe i'm not understanding what's so good about it- it was okay! I think this place probably did a good job, it just might not be my thing. The fried chicken and the sauce that came with it was good. read more

Solid option for those searching for vegan food. I got the veggie spring rolls, vegan pho with tofu and mushroom, and a tofu rice plate. I thought the food was flavorful and fresh. I also liked that they have sriracha and hoisin sauce besides the usual salt & pepper on each table. They take walk ins and reservations. I paid about $50 for 2 entrees and an appetizer. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The bar area has multiple TVs to enjoy a sports game. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The facilities are clean. Staff is friendly and prices are good. This place is good to go with friends, family, or on a date. One of my favorite Pho Lang Thang has is a soybean milk that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Portion wise, I always go home with leftovers and the food is amazing. read more

Food was amazingly delicious per usual!! I want to shout out our lovely server, Little Amy. She was super friendly, kind, and efficient!!

This was one of my favorite places but I must say they are slowly losing my business. Today when I ordered a carry out order, I ordered an extra side of beef broth because I feel like they never give me enough broth on the take out orders so Im willing to pay extra. However, when I got home and saw that I was only given about a cup of beef broth after I had paid extra money for this, I was greatly disappointed. I contemplated about writing this review but this was not my first time having this kind of experience with Pho Lang Thang and wondered if this will even make a difference. It's not like this was the only thing I ordered plus I was even okay to pay extra for the beef broth so you would think they would at least fill it halfway. Not sure if I will visit again anytime soon. read more

Pho Lang Thang - Beef broth that I paid extra for. It was about 1 cup. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My father in law wanted to take us here on the market day. Parking was difficult, but TOTALLY worth it. We waited about a half an hour to be seated, but once we were, the service was phenomenal, the food was amazing. The guys had beer to my vietnamese coffee. Our mains were 2 bowls of Pho and one of their bowls of vermicelli rice noodles with grilled pork and shrimp. The food was amazing, I mean REALLY amazing to the point that I ate every scrap of food and I never do that in a resturaunt setting. I always leave food behind. The portions were just right. read more
