    Rice with grilled chicken and egg
    Whitney T.

    Went here on a random day while I was running errands. This is located in a shopping center so you get your pick on what food places you want to go which is nice if you're with a group and you all wanted different things. Firstly you get to seat yourself wherever you want. The waitress comes to you after and is great at checking in on you every so often. The food is good. It's not spicy unless you add their chili crisps so it's good if you have spicy fans and non spicy fans dining together. The food comes out relatively quick so thats good to know that the wait time isn't too long.

    Love this place. The Bun Bo hue is the best around. It's big with plenty of seating. Orders come out fast compared I totally recommend this awesome pho restaurant

    Vegetable Pho with Tofu
    Alecia W.

    This is my first time trying Pho And I was blown away at how flavorful everything was. I ordered the vegetarian pho. The serving size was huge and it came loaded with lots of vegetables and packed the flavor throughout the broth and all of the toppings. They also had an assortment of sauces that I could add to my Pho. The only complaint is that I ordered the small size and I sooo wanted to have Extra after tasting . I should've ordered the large. I definitely will return here again!!

    Second time eating here. First time dining in. The staff was liked and the food was delicious. I didn't have to add any hoisin sauce to my broth because it was perfectly made. The restaurant is a decent size, great area to grab a quick lunch or go for dinner. It's never really crowded and I am looking forward to my next visit.

    I love soup of pretty much every form and pho hits the top of my list every single time! I've seen this place while passing on the literail and I've wanted to try for some time! Service was FAST! Place is super clean with lots of seating. Different sauces if you need at the table. Honestly, some of the best pho broth I've had! The meat was paper thin so super tender! I will be going again for sure!

    Industrial vibe. High ceilings. Area was spacious, organized, and clean. Love the big tables that would be great for families and group of friends. Generous amount of veg for the pho. Pho Dac Biet (Beef combination) 7/10 Broth was not as beefy as we wanted it to be. The broth is the soul of the soup. Noodles are fresh and have a great texture that goes well with the soup. Good amount of beef cuts. Pho Hai San (Seafood) 5/10 I was disappointed that it came with imitation crab and imitation scallops. The broth did not taste like seafood at all but it was a nice light pho broth. Shrimp tasted great and fresh. Noodles were also fresh and bouncy. Salted lemonade drink (8.5/10) was refreshing. Perfect for a hot day Coconut juice (7/10) You can tell that it came from a can. I would have appreciate it more if I was given the can and a cup of ice. Instead it became too watery because half the cup was filled with ice. The coconut meat was a nice touch. Overall a good spot for a nice bowl of pho

    So I went to another pho place in Charlotte beforehand and I didn't really like that place as much. My brother wanted to grab some nice Asian style noodles, so we decided to give this place a try. We really enjoyed the pho here. You can sit anywhere you want, and the staff will bring the menu to you. We all ordered pho, I got the beef P3 and my brother got the Chicken, and it was very flavorful! I even took back some leftover pho and it tasted even better at night when the flavors had time to sit! They give you extra Jalepenos and bean sprouts, along with chili oil you can add. I would really recommend this spot if you're looking for some pho that feels cozy and warm! The Vietnamese iced coffee here was amazing!! Ambiance is nice. They have cool paintings on the wall.

    The wings and beef pho were piping hot and absolutely delish! The portion size easily allowed for leftovers! The staff was friendly, and the service was prompt. and while the atmosphere was a bit loud, it wasn't overwhelming- just a lively, bustling spot. Parking can be a bit of a hassle depending on the time/day you plan to visit, so be prepared! I'll definitely visit this establishment again when in Charlotte!

    Came in on a cold Saturday afternoon, it was packed, but we found a table however this day it appeared to be not so many employees working because even though we were taken care of some orders were forgotten and others were not brought out. The food was fresh, presentation was still very good but somehow maybe they were stretched too thin. We were fairly taken care of! I wish because of how good of a product they have, and how popular they've become that they need a larger business with more people employed. Just a suggestion. I guess that's a good problem to have.

    I was craving pho (my favorite) and was lucky enough to find this place within walking distance of my room at the Hilton. It was only an 8 minute walk. When I came in you can seat yourself anywhere and someone came out to get my drink order and give me a menu. I ordered S3 and P1. The food was tasty and it came out quickly and the pricing was reasonable. It really hit the spot and then I was able to sit and charge my phone until it was time for my next thing, without feeling rushed to get up from the table. They have a casual atmosphere.

    I'm telling you this is the place! I eat Pho errrrweerrre, and this is authentic as I've had state side. You can get all the horror movie parts you want, and the depth of flavor in the broth is the best in the city. The service is spot on too. "What you want?" Two people running the whole show, and it runs smooth. Go Pho now!

    Chicken pho with spicy broth

    This was my first time trying Pho. It was surprisingly flavorful and hot. I would say the only con was the lack of chicken. Other than that the service and atmosphere were great . I will be back

    Food was very delicious and service was fast. Very good value for what you pay. Make a point to stop by.

    Stopped by cilantro noodle today.

The restaurant was suspiciously empty for a Saturday afternoon, besides us there was another family dining in. But, I did notice they were pushing out a ton of to go orders, so that's a good sign. Our servers were so polite, and offered insight on some of the popular items on the menu. We had the chicken pot stickers and they were good. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, which was absolutely delicious! The broth was prefect, you usually have to doctor pho up to get it to taste right, but that was not needed with this pho. I have to say this is the best pho I've had to date!!! The broth was simple yet flavorful, the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was tender. Everything was delightful. Service was great, the food was fresh and delicious. We agreed that we would definitely come back. What a great hidden gem.

Now once you arrive, you sit down and they take your order as opposed to ordering yourself at a kiosk like before. They did add some things to their menu but unfortunately got rid of a lot of things, including our favorite bowls which is why we went there a lot. They added calamari which we love but unfortunately these were not the best. No flavor. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet. They got rid of their rice bowls and anything "created your own" the noodles bowls only come with cucumbers, sprouts, lettuce, noodles and protein of you want. Before you fould customize it and add a plethora of things to it which we loved and was very filling (refrence my older pics posted). Unfortunately the noodle bowl was just lacking with the minimal ingredients offered and it was not very flavorful at all. Upon learning these new changes, I don't believe we will be returning.

    I came here with family and we sure did have a Pho Good Time! Restaurant was beautiful, bright, and…read moreclean and staff was nice. We ordered multiple appetizers, including chicken wings, steamed dumplings, truffle fries and spring fries. My favorite being the truffle fries (non pictured because they didnt stand a chance). I ordered the P5 which included brisket and meatballs and of course chili sauce on the side. My food was absolutely delicious, I personally would t order the meatballs any more because it resembled pork and I personally took them out of my dish. However it didn't deter me from enjoying my meal fully! I would definitely come back!

    I checked out this place for a late lunch, and here's the deal…read more.. The place itself was very inviting, cozy and nicely decorated. I also appreciated its pictured menu. Service was good as well. I actually came here to try their hand-made dumplings...and came highly anticipating their "Rainbow" varieties! Well, sadly, there was a problem with their "Rainbow" Dumplings. While they tasted pretty good, I didn't get all 5 colors (as advertised). In fact, the red one, featuring Beef (my favorite?), was missing....and in its place, I got 2 yellow ones. How disappointing is that?!? Also, the presentation was a bit sloppy! There goes an opportunity for me to post it on my Instagram...Oh Well! Anyway, the waitress quickly offered to take the incomplete "Rainbow' Dumplings off my bill, so that was pretty cordial. As I mentioned to her, it's somewhat of a pet peeve of mine to see that these "Rainbow" Dumplings turn out to be not a full rainbow of colors...something that I've been repeatedly experiencing in various restaurants. I feel that if they are missing a color (or 2), they should tell the diners. Anyway, I appreciated how they corrected this mistake. I also tried their Basil Chicken, which came with a bowl of rice. This was my first time trying this dish, and I loved how it was so fresh! Seemingly healthy, yet very tasty! I also enjoyed their Virgin Lychee Mojito...but I wish they served it in a glass...and not a plastic cup like some fast food joint. If they served a complete "Rainbow" Dumplings as advertised, and served the Lychee Mojito in a glass, I would have easily dropped 5 stars...but unfortunately, the dining experience was flawed. Still, I thought this was a great restaurant addition to Park Square, in Charlotte (right next to Fiamma). Hopefully they'll have the full "Rainbow" Dumplings next time??
