Variety of Pho (noodle soup), fried rice, vermicelli and other noodle dishes. Friendly service, ample parking (in a strip mall) and seating. My favorite is the Clay pot combination. Cup of ice cream to end the meal. Love eating here when we are in town!
Food was food! I had bun thit noung, noodles with pickled vegetables, was delicious. Service & ambiance was a mixed bag. It's a small family restaurant, so not a ton of staff. They brought the meals out as they were made, so some people had no food while others did, which is hard sometimes when someone is hungry and looking at eating ppl. Tables were not really cleared, because it was busy. But one of the best meals I had in Virginia, because the food was delicious!
Was craving Vietnamese soup on a hot day and stopped here driving through Virginia. Service was quick and friendly, restaurant was clean and had good AC so you're not covered in sweat while slurping your oodles. Amazing pork rolls and chicken wings. BF had the Pho and enjoyed it, I tried the broth and it was delicious, not too strong on the star anise which I liked. I had the Bun Bo Hue, this was bland and not spicy... had to add more sate ( chili sauce) and the broth was warm, not hot which was disappointing, it was just okay and honestly will not order it again. I know I should've have the Pho instead for a more satisfying meal. It's still 4 stars because the Pho was authentic.
Ok. I go to Harrisonburg once a week. Every time I go I stop here. Im slowly working my way through their entire menu. Why? Because I like to try new things. Every. Single. Dish. Has been amazing. I didnt really expect much when I first went. Its in a shopping center and in a line of several restaurants. Nothing about its decor or exterior really stuck out. When you walk in they let you seat yourself. I like that because I just get uncomfortable sitting in certain places. Im just weird like that. My social anxiety rearing it's lovely head! Their menu is pretty straight forward and simple. Not too many items where youre overwhelmed, but enough to cover a variety of tastes. I cant even begin to spell or remember the names of everything I've tried, so im just going to gice you the highlights and explain why I think this place is THE BEST. Vietnamese Lemongrass chicken. Im notnsure the exact name for it but its got thin vermicelli rice noodles, some delicious grilled chicken, shredded lettuce and cucumbers. It has this dressing (its basically like... a dipping sauce but its vinegar based and I think this dish is technically called a noodle salad, im not 100% sure) thats tangy, sweet, salty and delicious. The chicken is always tangy, the noodles are springy and jot overcooked. The lettuce is super thin shredded, the cucumbers are the perfect cut... it comes in this huge bowl so you can mix it easily. This one is my FAVORITE. I have had it at 4 other places and NONE of them make it the same as this place. The chicken is always not grilled well, and dry, or the noodles are overcooked, or the vegetables are clunky and just... not all that smooth. Then theres the price. This is the cheapest place ove found to get this dish by MINIMUM $5 and thats after a recent price hike. My own home town sells this dish at their noodles house for $25 and their noodles are cooked ahead and laid in planks where they gum up and clump up and look like sad little plants instead of noodles. It makes me cry. Anyways... Thien An Pho does it best, and cheapest and when you can get those two things combined? Yeah. They've got my heart. My next favorite thing is the BBQ pork spring rolls. The first time I went there i asked for a recommendation of what they liked of the appetizers. This was what the woman recommended. Its BBQ pork (kind of like the BBQ spare ribs at a Chinese place in flavor... little sweet, red in color, etc) with vermicelli noodles and other veggies wrapped in a rice paper wrap. I think some places call it a summer rolls, where the wrap is chewy, and everything is raw. Its delicious. They also sell a chicken and shrimp version, but by far the BBQ pork one is my favorite. Comes 2 to an order and theyre pretty big. They come with a peanut dipping sauce. Smokey Beef. This is served on a cast iron plate, still sizzling. Its freaking delicious. A little sweet, but not a wet wet sauce. Comes with rice and its a little spicy but jot too bad at all. I didnt get a picture but its got sliced beef, onions and green onions. The beef was tender and my mouth is watering thinking about it. I might order it this week again! I haven't found anyplace that makes a dish thats similar. Well, they do but the taste is not at all similar. This place hands down knows what tastes good. String Beans with garlic sauce over rice. This is once again delicious. The string beans are tender but not mushy at all. Theres onions and red bell peppers stir fried with them. Its served with rice and its so filling. Mmm. Its a great vegetarian option, but not at ALL the ONLY one they have! I've tried their pho thst had a combination of pork and brisket and that was SO flavorful. I did add a bit of sriracha because I wanted some spice, but the flavor was very bold on its own. I couldn't even finish the whole bowl, much to my dismay. Its a very large portion! There's another noodle soup i tried... its spicy abd Lemongrass based but I dont know the name of it. It had, I think... pork, beef, and fish cake maybe? So spicy my nose was running but not so spicy that I didnt want to eat it. I got this 2 times in a row. I do not regret it. It was delicious both times and rates among my top 3 favorites from them. Price wise this place is THE cheapest place for this type of food with consistently high quality. I've been to several other noodle houses trying to find similar dishes and even if I found the dishes, the prices and quality of food didnt even begin to compare. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, which I love, and honestly I dont have anything bad to say at all about the place. Please just go if youre in the area. This place is amazing. The only thing I may possibly regret about this review is that maybe more people may go and then it might get crowded lol But if it does, they deserve it. Seriously.
Always so consistently good! Definitely one of my favorite Harrisonburg lunch spots. Especially in an area where it's hard to find many authentic Vietnamese places or noodle places in general :) also the best local spot for veggie spring rolls, they were too good I ate them before I remembered to snap a pic.
Best Vietnamese Restaurant in Virginia. Highly recommended. The pho and the pork bbq springs rolls are so authentic.
Soup flavor was a little light but portion was right. Egg rolls were delicious. Service was good. We love the TV on the wall showing Asian food channels :)
It was my first time trying this place so I ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt to test the spot. The broth here is fragrant and delicious, and I would absolutely get the egg rolls again. In terms of size, the Phở is big enough to share, but it's so good you're not going to want to. The person that took my order was also pretty cool and hooked up some kind of a weekday discount, which I wasn't expecting. Looking forward to coming back soon.
The decor of the restaurant is minimal, but nice, and the seating in the restaurant is well set. The service at the restaurant was really good, the owner greeted us when we came in, and our waiter immediately came over with our water. I ordered the Grilled Pork with Rice, and I loved how charred and well grilled the pork was. They give a great portion of fish sauce, which is rare, and the rice was good and easily eaten with chopsticks. We also ordered a pork banh mi, and that was definitely the best banh mi I've ever had. The bread was really good, crusty and well toasted, and there was a good sauce, meat, and vegetable ratio. After we'd finished our meal the owner came over to our table, and he was really kind and conversational. Overall, a great restaurant that I would definitely recommend!
What a surprising find! Driving down to Western North Carolina and had to pull off. Can't make the trip in one shot since the Yukon needs gas, and I have a bladder. Stopped here, a little past the halfway point. In a town of chains, this cafeteria noodle shop is just what we needed. In the heart of James Madison University territory in Harrisonburg PA. Everything was great. We could have ordered with our eyes closed. Deff worth stopping in, all the flavor profiles are there - allspice, lemon grass, curry, the salt & pepper fry on the tofu is out of this world. Servings are tremendous. Served on very large plates which easily take up the entire table. And got my iced coffee here too, very delicious. Tons of takeout. Very casual. People walking the length of the restaurant to the back table and register to pick up their orders. Back to I-81, I'll be back.
Traveling from out of town for hikes. So glad we gave this spot a try. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese, this is it. This literally reminds me of my own moms cooking when I visit. Haven't been home for a home cooked meal from my mom since Covid started. And in my area there's NO decent Vietnamese food. I never would've thought this would be where I found it!! We OVER ORDERED for two people but who cares. We knew from the moment we walked in. "It smells like my moms house!" Egg rolls; Pho Combination; Pho Chicken; and Clay pot rice ALL OF IT WAS AMAZING. Did the taste test before I added an hoisin or Sriracha and it was fantastic. We will be coming here for all our hiking and snowboarding trips from now on. Best hands down. This is how it's done
Visited my daughter during JMU move in weekend. She loves this place, esp with the vegetarian options. Got a few dishes - solid food but honestly, the smoothies were the highlight! Tall overflowing glass - Wowsers. Jack fruit is an unusual flavor and my mom's favorite fruit - it was fun sharing. Hubs mango smoothie was just as delish. read more

Really solid vietnamese place with great high-ceiling interior and great customer service. Pho isn't my cup of tea so I got the cubed filet mignon special over rice. That was amazing. Tender cubes of beef with a sweet and savory sauce to complement the bed of broken white rice. My kind of meal. To top it off, I loved the "spring" rolls (I call them summer rolls). The rice paper was very chewy which I actually enjoyed. All in all, a pleasant experience where I'd come back another day. read more

We came for brisket pho and were not dissapointed! The broth was very flavorful and had such a delicious depth of richness. The owner was very friendly and came out to make sure everything was to our liking. We shared that pho was my daughters birthday dinner request. Later he came out with an order of chicken wings stating that he didn't have cake but made her birthday wings. My daughter LOVES bone-in wings, more than cake actually so that was so kind. We also ordered and appetizer of the Bbq Pork Rolls (summer roll), which we thought was a unique creation and they were excellent! My husband ordered the Combination Stir-Fried Egg Noodle dish which had a good helping of protein and he really enjoyed it. We were impressed with the freshness and portion size of the servings. Oh! The chilli crisp on the table is house-made and totally hits on all levels. Our waiter was attentive and gave us great service. Give Thien- An Pho a shot to earn your business. We're sure glad we did! read more
Stumbled upon this place on Yelp while on the road. After reading the reviews we decided to try their food. They sounded friendly on the phone when placing takeout orders. Foods were already ready when picked up. The place looks big inside and seems to have many seating. We ordered as following. C6. Com Dac Biet : Choice B Combination with rice. Choice of: A (Pork Chop, Chicken wings, & 1 egg roll) OR B (Grilled Pork, 2 Fried Eggs, & 1 Egg roll) $13.95 R1. Bun Bac Biet : Combination over small Vermicelli (Grilled Shrimp, Pork & 1 Egg Roll) $13.95 P13. Bun Bo Hue : Special spicy Lemongrass Beef & Pork Noodle Soup $12.75 P2. Pho Tai : Rare Steak Noodle Soup $11.25 The portions looked big but actually were rather small. The meat in all dishes was very thin and tiny pieces. There were many burnt pieces of grilled pork that could not be eaten which is such a shame because we do not like to waste food. Overall we think the food tasted alright but the portions were small and not many pieces of meats given which was not worth the price they were charging. The only thing I liked was that they gave good amounts of vegetables and they were fresh. read more

I hate to downgrade local businesses with lower reviews but I have to be honest and it's good feedback for the owners On a good day: Broth is full of flavor, fat, and doesn't need much sauce. My previous review reflects what a good day is like On a bad day: I walked in, sat down, and knew what I wanted to order but it took 15 minutes before anyone got to me. However, the guy who served me was super friendly I have come here times when the broth was better than homemade and other times when it was basically salt, fish sauce, and water but usually the broth is delicious. Today, the broth wasn't that good and the meat tasted different. It wasn't like it was spoiled, just not as good as normal. The meatballs (which typically are frozen) were cold in the inside and genuinely tasted off. I've been here enough to know they're better than this, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The pho was still good, just not as good as they usually are read more
After a long day of hiking in Shenandoah, my boyfriend and I arrived on a Sunday evening and ordered a pho (rare steak + brisket), filet mignon cubes, and a spring roll appetizer. The spring roll name is confusing and it's called a summer roll at most of the other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. The roll is rice paper wrapped around lettuce, vermicelli noodles, and shrimp and not the typical spring roll I think of from Chinese restaurants that are deep fried with vegetables inside. The spring/summer roll is larger than usual and stuffed with a lot of food, but the rice paper was a bit tough for me to chew (although my boyfriend thought it was a great texture, so to each their own). I liked the pho, it comes with a ton of noodles and the broth is a bit brighter and has this vegetable/herb fragrance to it, though I think it could have come with more meat. The filet mignon cubes were also really good and had good seasoning and a nice sauce. Service was quick and friendly, though by the end of the meal it started getting more crowded, and they seem to have a somewhat inefficient system or are understaffed when dealing with a lot of customers. read more

Solid bowl of pho, fresh garnishes. Very friendly service. Wishing only the best for this restaurant! read more
Around eleven friends and I were visiting the area and walked in without a reservation. Quickly, they arranged three tables for us. Their service was receptive and accommodating, quick to help despite the hecticness. Although it was my first time, I saw many familiar faces there, which is perhaps a testimony that it is the go to Pho place amongst locals. The broth was pretty warm and rich, not too salty. There was a sizeable portion and good ratio of noodles to meat. My only complaints is that I wish the pho menu was a bit more extensive. But other than that, I was pretty pleased with the visit! read more

Wow on a whim while driving back from my cousins house in Tennessee I swung in and had Pho at this wonderful location. It was later in the evening yet the wait staff was friendly and the food came out quickly and piping hot. I cannot recommend this place enough if you're in the area give it a shot read more

As a disclaimer, we haven't had pho here yet (but need to). Our experiences at Thien have been very consistent. The food is the same quality each time we go. The shrimp and noodles are a 5/5, but the chicken and rice was a 3/5, and I wouldn't get it again. The service has been very friendly each time we've been to Thien. All in all, we'd definitely recommend Thien as the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. read more

I got the A2. Goi Cuon Tom and the R1. Bun Bac Biet. I've pretty much ate most of it and ate all of the shrimp spring rolls with the really good peanut sauce. This is my first time really ever ordering rice noodles and they are very good. The combination of the 3 meats has the same grilled taste but a tad different flavor. Was nervous to order and to pick something because this is not my usual spot and the person asked if they could help me. Very friendly. Decent pricing two. This is how much I have left in the photo before I was filled up. read more
