Inside, we were greeted warmly by a staff member and was told it will be about a 15 mins wait. They offer counter service--you order first, then find a seat wherever you like. The ambiance was a mix of cozy and rugged, with wildlife trophies lining the walls, adding a touch of charm. We tried two pho bowls: the broth was light yet flavorful, perfectly balanced, with tender slices of beef and fresh herbs that brought it all together. The kids' pho was a smaller portion meatballs, but just as satisfying, a perfect introduction for little ones. The papaya salad was crisp and refreshing. It was also was the best restaurant papaya I've had. It was pungent, tangy, sweet, spicy and paired well with our meal. The egg rolls were golden and crispy, packed with savory filling that was comforting and familiar. For drinks, the mango bobas stole the show--sweet, tropical, and fun with their chewy pearls. Pho Lodge is definitely on the top of our list when visiting Hickory.

I requested a 'little spicy,' and while it ended up being a bit over my personal threshold, I suspect that was just the high-quality, potent peppers they used. The standout, however, was the sticky rice--genuinely some of the best I've ever had. A very solid meal all around.

Towards the end of the evening (10:30pm), I needed to take another smoke break. At this particular time, a male employee informed me that there is an re-entry fee. I asked him why. He shrugged and replied, "You can ask the owner." Pointing at her. So I reconfirmed with her. She started making excuses. 1. Due to capacity. If you leave you must pay a reentry fee of $20. 2. She didn't like the traffic from the entrance. 3. For the saftey of her of everyone. Please just stay and not smoke no more. They will be closing in 2 hrs anyway. I asked, "If they are not letting customers out, is it ok for me to smoke inside." To which she responded, that they will kick me out of I did. At this point I was getting heated. I decided if an establishment wanted to just make up rules as the night went on. They don't deserve my business. I gladly left the event. I feel if they had a designated smoking area to allow smoking customers traffic in and out of their establishments. There wouldn't have been any negative disagreements with customers. Which also would resolve her "in and out" traffic at the entrance. If she was really looking for the saftey of her customers. She needs to hire security and check customer coming in. Also, if she wanted to make any kind of changes to her event while it was going on. She should make an annoucement, if not post ot somewhere. Yet making rules along the way is very unprofessional. All in all this money hungry owner doesn't give any care in the world about anyone but her selfish greedy self.
