I'll start by saying I like the food. I work nearby and eat here often. I like the food enough that until today I've been willing to put up with regularly incorrect takeout orders. I almost always order extra jalapenos and I'd say I actually get extra jalapenos at best 25% of the time. Sometimes I order extra and they give me no jalapenos. Once I ordered extra and they gave me a container of rotten jalapenos. Today instead of including extra jalapenos, they included a container of raw meat. I hate to give a negative review as the workers are always polite and attentive and when I get the correct order the food is good, though the quality is not what it used to be 5-10 years ago. WTAF is going on in the kitchen?? read more

Pho Lang Thang - raw meat that I did not order.. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I love this place for the quick service, incredibly kind staff, and delicious vegan options. I always go here after a hard day at work, and leave in a better mood. It is always super clean here and the decorations are beautiful. The staff remembers me, and always makes an effort to ask how I am doing. Great people work here, I have even been given a free mini drink when they made too much on accident! read more

Pho Lang Thang - Pho Chay Dac Biet - Reg - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Went here with friends on a Sunday for lunch. A heads-up--they get quite crowded around that time. Their Bahn mi with pate is absolutely delicious, and the beef rice plate is fantastic. Sharing the dishes left us perfectly satisfied. The service was excellent, but do make a reservation, or you might find yourself standing awkwardly in the entrance hallway. We will definitely be back! read more

It's usually 5 stars. We go once a week. staff and food are consistent and incredible. But they need to quick changing their wine. Plz pick a good Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir or French/italian red. And stick with it. They run out of Sauvignon blanc and the Pinot Grigio is not good. Yes, drinks aren't most important but it would help make the experience better!! read more

Delicious! I like ordered through DoorDash and the food came hot and as I had ordered it. I got the pork bahn mi with pate. The pork was very good. read more

i've doordashed pho from here before in the past (and have never had quality issues with it!), but i decided to come in on a VERY busy saturday afternoon and finally check out the whole space. i was able to get a spot at the bar and i received great service from katie and the other bartender working! the pho was delicious per usual, broth was flavorful, and my vietnamese iced coffee got me through the rest of my busy day! will definitely be returning! read more

Pho Lang Thang - pho bo Pho Tai - Sm - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is probably one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants ever. It was hard to find my first time because Google Maps GPS took me to the backsides which was some gated alley that I was unable to pass through. I'm so glad I persisted (as I was really craving pho that day) and ultimately found this fantastic restaurant. I've ordered several things from the chicken pho to beef pho to banh mis (various types including chicken, pork and tofu) to shrimp spring rolls. Every dish was perfectly made and I really wouldn't change a thing about it. Well, actually, the only thing I would change is that the shaking beef had more beef and less side salad :) wonderful place with authentic quality homemade Vietnamese food! read more

Great tasting food ! I had the pho and vegetable rolls . Nice atmosphere overall- a VERY busy place - when I went it was a full house with a wait ! Always a good sign . Service was alright . I would absolutely check this place again for good eats ! read more

Great food. The Banh mi is the bomb, pho is so tasty, delicious, all the stuff you want in a sandwich

Service is great. They appreciate the customers. Wings on wing week not a big focus for them as far as preparation. Minimalist mid-century modern decor with an Asian flare serves well for the food they serve. Makes you feel like you've flashed back to the 70s. read more

Pho Lang Thang - Wing week. - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Must try!! Came by while working at the co hatch for lunch. I ordered a couple appetizers like the spring rolls and chao to go, which came out quick and fresh. I also got to try some of the bun and pho which were really great too. Highly recommend! I'd come back to dine in and for happy hour if we were here longer. Next door they have a dessert spot with Vietnamese coffee flavored ice cream! read more

I was expecting something way more interesting than what I ended up eating... I ordered the Tai Nam Pho ... the broth was waaay too sweet while the meat was almost nowhere to be found ... I have to mention that the place was almost empty and the guy at the reception desk sat me pretty much at the farthest corner. In a nutshell ... I won't be coming back read more

Pho Lang Thang now has a soft serve stand! Located in the old carryout building next door to PLT on Race Street just across from the streetcar stop. Lang Thang Whip serves up four flavors and a few different toppings. They plan to keep vanilla and Vietnamese coffee on all the time and rotate out the other two seasonally. Right now is Thai tea and Kool-Aid mango. I'm super excited for this addition to OTR and Findlay Market, and so are my kids! ;) read more

I love pho, and Pho Lang Thang has some of the best in the city (second to Tong's Thai in Milford). I have to get the Pho Bo when I go, wagyu beef broth with rare steak. I have to say although the steak is never rare, it is super tasty and huge portions. I love that pho broth has a nice cinnamon flavor to it, and the Thai basil is what makes it for me. Every time I eat ramen I wish it was pho! This time we also got the Vietnamese chicken wings. They had a honey Asian glaze. They were nice and crispy but could use a little more flavor. My husband had the bahn mi and said it was ok but wouldn't get it again. I got a limeade and my husband got a mango soda. The limeade I would NOT recommend - it has a super weird flavor that overpowers it and makes it undrinkable. The mango soda was good but overly sweet. You can't go wrong with the pho! So tasty. read more

The last time I ate here was in their old location. Food amazing but the space cramped. This new location is open and full of light. The food always is so good We ordered banh mi sandwiches so full of flavor cilantro pork radishes. All I can say is yummy. Brian our server was so delightful. He wished me a happy 21st birthday who doesn't love that read more

We came when there was very little people and the service was great, food came out quick and tasted great.

I cannot overstate how absolutely perfect this bahn mi was. The bread was light and fluffy but still had a nice crunch. The tofu was FANTASTIC, super flavorful and had a great crispy texture. It's so nice to be able to order veggie off the menu without modifications! I genuinely can't wait to go back and eat this again. The restaurant itself is well lit and super cute. Our server was super nice and friendly. Reasonably priced as well. Fantastic experience! read more

Pho Lang Thang - Bahn Banh Mi - Chay (Tofu) - Vietnamese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Wow, if you are in Cincinnati near Over The Rhine, I would highly encourage you to stop in for a meal here. We were visiting a nearby brewery and got hungry, so I hopped on my phone and discovered a Vietnamese restaurant right around the block with high google ratings. We walked a block and a half and found this bright restaurant. When we arrived there were several groups in the waiting area. We were greeted by the hosted and asked about the wait time, which was 20 minutes. They took my number and said they would text me when the table was ready. So we were able to walk around the street and Findley Market before heading back for a drink at the bar. The only strange encounter was when we got back we walked straight to the bar and sat down. There was plenty of seats available. The hostess came by and asked what we were doing. We explained we had put our name on the list and were going to get a drink while we waited for a table. She replied she would let someone know but it might take a while. (huh? Take my money, please) A server arrived shortly after and we confirmed with her that it was okay to get a drink while we waited. Right around the 20 minute mark my phone buzzed and our table was ready! We were sat at a two top right by the kitchen. The menu looked amazing so it was hard to decide, but we ended up ordering the fresh salad rolls, Vietnamese chicken wings, grilled pork vermicelli bowl and fried tofu bowl. The appetizers arrived quickly and they were fresh and delicious. I love Vietnamese food because it feels healthy since there are so many vegetables included! The fresh rolls had fresh herbs and were packed full. The chicken wings were delicious and super flavorful. The entrees followed shortly after and were packed with flavor. The fried tofu was large and firm and fried to perfection. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone around us ordered the pho so we'll need to try it there next time! read more

I'm a Findlay Market fanatic, shopping there weekly for over 25 years now, and Pho Lang Thang has been a favorite from the days they had a cramped space inside the market itself. Nothing like the stylish, spacious digs they have now, with a very well-stocked bar and friendly, attentive staff. I stopped in on a chilly February afternoon and enjoyed a delicious, warming chicken congee and fabulous beef bahn mi with pate and jalapeños. Highly recommended, whether you're shopping at the market or just looking for a terrific southeast Asian meal in the 'nati. read more

Pho Lang Thang is located next door to High Five Salon and down the street from Findlay Market. Metered street parking is available. Looking for something to have for dinner last night, I used Yelp to help my husband and I find a place for dinner. I wanted hot food since I am getting over a cold so we opted for Asian food. With this place being highly rated (overall 4 star rating at the time of this review), I thought this would be a good place to check out... but was I wrong... so wrong. Anyways, after we came in, the bartender acknowledged us and told us that someone will be with us. A few minutes later, a female employee came out and got two menus and then led us to a small 2 person table. Being that the place was pretty empty (we arrived after 5:35 pm), I just asked if we could sit against the wall so we could have the bench seating. What surprised me was the attitude she gave us as she picked up the menus and tossed them onto the other table. I honestly do not know what is this employee's problem but I saw her give attitude to other customers whom she seated too. Anyways, we had a very nice employee take our order, in which we ended up ordering: Goi Cuon, $6.50 prior to tax- pretty standard spring rolls, these spring rolls were pretty heavily packed but surprisingly held up and didn't fall apart. I liked these spring rolls but think the price is a bit expensive for 2. Pho Tai, Regular, $14 prior to tax- My husband ordered this pho with brisket. The broth was salty and not very flavorful. The meat itself was okay though. Com Tam Chay (Tofu), $12 prior to tax- I ordered this broken rice dish because I wanted rice. The pickled carrots with very little radish was too sweet, which I did not like. The tofu was too salty and also very oily, it should have been better drained (I ended up placing the tofu pieces on a napkin to help remove some of the oil). Honestly the only things that were fine with this dish was the rice and vegetables. ------------------------------ (Total= $35.03 after tax, prior to tip) In addition to the food not tasting good, the service was pretty lacking. Our server was nice but he was never around and never refilled our water. He also never bothered to come by to ask us where is our food. After the spring rolls were brought to our table, we waited 30 minutes (with the photos that I took on my phone, they are time stamped). After 20 minutes had passed, my husband had to ask another employee where is our food. She ended up getting our server, in which he said that the rice dish is what is taking so long and so they just want to bring out both my husband's pho dish and my dish out together. He had said that it should be coming out any minute... which was 10 minutes later. That is very unacceptable to wait so long for a meal, especially a rice dish. A Vietnamese restaurant should have that on hand. Also it doesn't take that long to fry up tofu. We saw another table that came after us in which they did not have to wait long for their rice dish so I don't know what the problem was. We were never apologized to or given anything to compensate the time we waited, etc. I didn't have high expectations for Vietnamese food here in Cincinnati but I wasn't expecting this. Congratulations Pho Long Thang, you are officially the WORST Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever dined at (and I have dined at a lot, including those that aren't really that great). This place is hipster and lacks taste, service and is overly priced. I feel sorry for you locals who think this place is actually good because Vietnamese food can be so much better. read more

Long live PLT! This Cincy staple was one of the first restaurants I tried when moving to the area back in 2020 ... and is now my go-to spot when I'm craving some comforting pho. On my most recent visit, I was driving through down I-75 on a Sunday evening with not even a whisper of an idea for what do for dinner. I called my husband and he suggested I pick up PLT. He placed an online order for me through their website, which was ready to go when I arrived around 20 minutes later. I always appreciate the staff's attention to detail when it comes to packaging to-go orders. The broth and meat are in a separate container, and then the noodles, veggies, and sauce are in a sturdy, compostable bowl. You really have the opportunity to build your bowl exactly how you like it! They even include packets of Sriracha and Hoisin sauce. My husband and I both ordered the Pho Bo Tai, which is their famous beef broth with rare steak. If you're taking your meal to-go, I recommend ordering some extra noodles, because they give you plenty of broth, which can be saved for leftovers the next day. Our food was incredible, as it always is. I want to encourage anyone reading this that you don't have to wait for colder weather to enjoy pho ... it's an absolutely delicious dinner year-round! read more

We were on vacation and we were across the street. We walked by and decided to give this place a try. They sat us right away. They sat us at a small able but there was plenty of space we felt like we had a lot of privacy. We were greeted right away and service flowed. I ordered noodles with a lot of toppings. The portions were reasonable and food was tasty. My husband also really enjoyed his food. The price was definitely reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place and return if I was in the area. read more

The best Pho in Cincyyy (maybe the only one??)!!!!Their Bahn Mis are also pretty solid!

On a cold winter's day, you can't beat a bowl of pho! We went for lunch and it was busy, but our food came out quickly and was delicious!

The food here is top shelf. The pho and the bańh mi is outstanding. The portions are huge, and the flavors are spot on.

Best Pho I've ever had! It is such a comfort meal for me! We got back as often as we can.

A wonderful new addition to the Findlay Market area! We had the spring rolls, vegan-style, grilled pork with broken rice, veggie pho, and vietnamese iced coffee. These are my usual staples when I get Vienamese food so I feel pretty confidant writing that they were all good versions of those dishes. My grilled pork was well presented and came with gorgeous tomatoes (yeah, I can say they were pretty good looking!). Atmosphere is bright, colorful, open & airy - very modern/clean, as you would expect from a hip new restaurant in OTR. It's not my very favorite Vietnamese place (that honor goes to Golden Deli in San Gabriel, CA, but it ain't bad for Cincinnati. read more

Food was good, vibe was cool, placed in a neat area. I would recommend if you're in the area.

A well designed and colorful restaurant a quick walk from Findlay Market. The place was packed on a weekend afternoon. We tried the Vietnamese coffee for a pick me up, yummy and good jolt of energy! The highlight was the com thit nuong (rice plate with grilled pork). You can't really go wrong with thit nuong. The meat was tasty and charred with crushed peanuts on top. Just wish more meat was given. There was more meat provided in the Banh mi thit nuong, but the bun was quite small! We are accustomed to traditional Banh mi served on a standard French baguette with thick cut vegetables and spicy green peppers, which this version lacked. The chicken wings were coated in a sweet honey chili glaze that was tasty, and the meat itself was tender. However we did send our initial wings back to the kitchen for what appeared to be feathers on several of the pieces, most prominently on this one. They were very long and gave us pause enough to decide we didn't feel comfortable eating it. The server was very helpful in getting our wings taken care of, but in general it was a little slow and it took a while to get our food. Nothing tasted distinctly like authentic Vietnamese food, though nothing was truly bad, but if you want to try Vietnamese cooking drive a little farther out of downtown! read more

This place does not serve very authentic pho. My husband loves pho and was hoping this would be a great place for dinner on a cold night. The food is way over priced with low quality and poor taste. The service provided was subpar. The receipt was wrong and the waitress argued with us about how she chose to ring it up when it clearly had two items on there that we did not order nor consume. Overall, hipster cook vibe in a cool location but the food is overpriced, lacks authenticity and flavor, and service is subpar. We will not return and we don't recommend you go there either. read more

I was such a fan of this place for years. Had moved further North so I had not had a chance to go back. Went back yesterday and was extremely disappointed.First of all, the place was empty in the middle of what should be a lunch rush. I remember the days when they were in the middle of Findlay and you couldn't event find a seat. I was shocked at the prices! $15 for a small one meat PHO!? I would have been fine with it if the flavor was as good but I had a plate of sad veggies and limes but the broth was not as flavorful as I remember. I also got some fried spring rolls and they were blah. read more

Wonderful food and many gluten-free options. Celiac in our party had the Pho with beef brisket, I had the chicken and rice, and another in our party had the chicken and cabbage salad in a crunchy seaweed shell. We also had the vegetarian spring rolls which are GF if you skip the peanut sauce. All were delicious. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about accommodating allergies. Ambiance was cafeteria like, so go for the food more so than the atmosphere. read more

Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 As you walk in, you'll notice the beautiful bar and interior decor. The floors aren't levelled so the chairs at the tables across the bar will be a little wobbly but not a deal! First, I ordered the Vietnamese Iced coffee, ca phe sua da, it was good, just watered down. My partner had a Sapporo which you could either have by the bottle or glass (the glass isn't chilled). Next, we got the egg roll, cha gio, the exterior was really nice and crispy, the interior was a little mushy with a bit of crunch from the wood ear mushrooms. Last, I had the 3 Protien Pho, Pho tai nam bo vien, the noodles were the perfect texture, brisket was melt in your mouth delicious! The rare beef came well-done before it got to the table but it was still so tender. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the beef balls but the texture was too soft to my liking, a little like cha lua, I just like mine with a little more bite. The broth was not bad, it wasn't too aromatic and just a little bit salty. I can tell they use good quality beef here! I would definitely come back to try their grilled meat dishes. :) The bill came to $53 before tip and we got: 1x Sapporo 1x Ca phe 1x Cha Gio 1x Pho (Small) 1x Pho (Reg) Not bad at all! read more

10/10 great food service and atmosphere. Huge fan of Vietnamese food. Some of the best in the country and a true gem of Cinci.

Best pho in Cincinnati hands down. On the more expensive side, but for good reason - the meat is so tender. This place has become me and my friends' comfort restaurant. I usually get the pho tai nam, and I really love that they have small and large sizes so I can order according to my appetite that day. They also have a lychee juice that I love to treat myself with. I will also say I ordered delivery from them off DoorDash once when I was sick and they packaged the pho so thoughtfully, it was so convenient to eat because they provided a bowl with the noodles and broth separate. Love this place, I always bring my guests from out of town here! read more
