Pork Banh Mi
William H.

Stopped in For an Egg Bahn Mi today. Man does it always hit the spot! Fresh cocked eggs in a soft bread with cucumber, shredded carrots and fresh cilantro. The combination does not sound like something typical but boy oh boy to the ingredients blend well. Every dish here is always great. I took it to go and it was done fairly quickly.if you dine in, you will feel relaxed and secluded. Stop in, you won't be disappointed!

Entry to the restaurant from the office building side.

Searched for something warm and saw this place and was curious because of its name. So we decided to try this place. At first it was a bit confusing when the "map" tells you to go through a business building (not realizing there's also a front entry) and follow the sign. The restaurant was small and quaint and had some customers. The gentleman that helped us to our table was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. Anyways... the menu was simple, I ordered the combo pho and my partner ordered the steak pho. It came out within a few minutes. I tried the broth without putting anything in it and it was a bit bland to me (I think it was missing the "umami") then I seasoned it with hoisin, sriracha, pepper, lemon and added basil leaves, and the soup tasted better. They give tons of noodles, a bit skimpy on the protein. I honestly would visit this place again compared to some other pho restaurants in NC. Super easy check out.

The broth at this place Kicks any other spot in Winston out the competition. It's like they've been cooking it for days. Put this broth over anything and it knocks. So the Lrg. Combination is what I get mostly and every time I have to sit down to enjoy it. I don't take it to go unless I have left overs. The service here is friendly and welcoming. The teenagers that work are well trained and motivated. They have options to sit outside or indoors.

Today we had the pleasure of trying the chicken and beef fried rice--and wow, where do I even start? This place continues to amaze me every single time. I've tried many other Asian restaurants in Winston, and this one is hands down my favorite. If you've been waiting for a sign to come eat here, this is it! We also had the grand pleasure of trying their flan. As someone who's Hispanic, I've had my fair share of flan--but I can honestly say I preferred theirs. It has this subtle coffee flavor that I absolutely adore. Don't be afraid to try something new--stop by and treat yourself. You won't regret it!

Pork Bahn Mi - small, small amount of filling, pate not included
Fred B.

After my initial visit, I came back to try the Bahn Mi sandwiches here. This is an item that is in scare supply in the WS area! I ordered one Pork ($6.50) and one Beef ($6.95). This is a rather small sandwich, the roll is no more than 6", and the protein filling is more than a little lite. Other than the protein, the ingredients are house mayo, pickled carrots, pickled, daikon, cucumber, and cilantro - the mayo was very thinly applied, and there was no pate, a very traditional item for this sandwich. The sandwiches were just OK , not nearly as good as the ones in Greensboro and Kernersville. All in all, these sandwiches are over price for what you get!

Rare beef pho with meatballs
Luisa Y.

Love this place so much! The pho has such a flavorful broth it is perfect! They offer two bowl sizes regular and large which I love. Everyone is always so friendly and the restaurant is so lovely. If you love pho and haven't tried them yet you need to.

I highly recommend What the Pho!!! The ambiance is amazing, and the food is delicious. The service was great, and a kind waiter taught us how to make the perfect dipping sauce. If you want good food and good vibes, totally come here. 10/10

First time trying this place and it was excellent! Has that hole in the wall city vibe that emanates authenticity. Food is simply done and extremely flavorful, you can tell the pho is made fresh daily. Owner operated by a great little family (husband/wife/son) that provides diligent service! All around we had a great experience and will be back regularly. -tofu lettuce wraps perfectly prepared. Very Savory and not overly salty, I would have a hard time choosing the chicken over tofu in the future it was that good! - Rare Steak and Meatball Pho This was hands down the best pho I've had in Winston or NC for that matter. Very fresh and extremely flavorful and aromatic. As soon as you hit the door you can smell it! The rare steak was cooked perfect but surprisingly liked the meatball best! Thin noodles and a health side of bean spouts, cilantro, and jalapeño on the side. -Beef Bahn Mi Truly a standout and my favorite part of the meal! The bread is really what sets it apart. Perfect ratio of meat to cucumber/carrot/onion. Hit with a little siracha and it was damn good! Will definitely be trying the pork next time

Love this home-family business! Best pho in town with plenty of meat and toppings on the side. Bahn Mi was soft and flavorful. Staff was super friendly and more than happy to offer recommendations and split our checks as well. We came right at opening and it took a little while for one of the staff members to finish their meal before coming over to take our order. This place was also a little tricky to find - I wish they had more signage outside the building! Would definitely come back!

A friend asked me to try this place, and I came away pleasantly surprised. The location is a bit odd, buried in the first floor of the Liberty Plaza building. I think this used to be a soul food restaurant back in the day. They've done a nice job on the interior. The staff were very nice and pretty attentive. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and a large rare steak and meatball pho. My friend ordered something similar. The pho was very good, amazing broth, and the large was really big. I had to take a bit home. Would definitely come back.

I ordered food all three times and each time the taste seemed to have improved. The first time I got the Caprese and it was very dry. It literally had three ingredients in it, I think the cheese just was too cold and didn't do it for me while on the contrary, the sourdough bread was very burnt and the entire sandwich was just very dry and disappointing.If you want a good safe option, the short rib melt Is really good. The drinks at the bar are also really good. I will also note the ambiance is amazing, I love the way they decorated everything and I feel like it's really fitting for such a historical place, everything seemed very niche and clean which I admired. I will say the service from Lauren Stone was amazing. She was great, she was very kind and held conversation with myself and my boyfriend and recommended and made some really good drinks. The service is really what tops the overall experience. If someone is very genuine and upfront, there's not much that they can't come back from. There's lots of redeeming qualities in a restaurant through people that have humility and really seem to care in my book so I will say this place is honestly a must try.

My department is comprised of all remote workers, so we usually only see each other in virtual meetings. Just shy of 40 people broke up into 4 teams to cook 4 separate dishes from veggie to dessert. We had such a great time! I always send out a survey to my team regarding the annual event and every bit of feedback I received regarding the Iron Chef Experience was 100% positive! The experience was well organized, well managed, and in a great facility. All of the food was amazing and I feel some great bonds were formed across all areas of my department. I would highly recommend these guys for whatever level of event you are looking into.

We started with the blueberry THC Yum Yum, which was so good! Light, fruity, and really refreshing. The Caesar salad with Parmesan and focaccia croutons... need I say more?! So good. The tuna crudo was incredibly fresh, and my salmon was delicious. The mustard sauce had a nice sweetness to it, and the corn purée paired perfectly with the vegetables. In my husband's words, his scallop dish was a 10/10. I didn't try the scallops, but I loved the succotash! It was corn-heavy with bacon, white kidney beans, and a few other things I couldn't quite identify, but everything worked so well together. We finished with the apple hand pies served with vanilla ice cream -- definitely recommend saving room for dessert! Another great meal at Sage & Salt! Ricky and Jeremy behind the bar are fabulous!!!

The Grilled Chicken Orecchiette was flavorful and tasty. I think the noddles were a bit strange for this dish. The meal tasted great and the noodles were cooked well but I just wasn't sure if I would have chose these noodles to go with this dish. The restaurant was backed though so people do seem to like it.

The moment you step through the doors, it smells exactly like a restaurant should - that warm, savory aroma of roasted chicken and fresh spices that instantly triggers your appetite. Even after a year away, my favorite spot on this side of town hasn't missed a step. The dining room was spotless and fully stocked. When my usual order was sold out for the day, the front cashier confidently suggested an alternative that completely hit the mark. She knows her menu for sure. The operational hustle here is rare. Bobby, one of the back-of-house chefs, noticed the front team was busy and stepped out of the kitchen to hand deliver my meal himself. That kind of cross-coverage and teamwork speaks volumes about the culture here! Top-tier food, *genuine kindness*, and an unmatched family atmosphere. ¡Gracias, Viva Chicken team, you completely turned my day around! xo M&M

The setup is simple: get in the single file line, look over the menu overhead while moving forward, and then place your order. The staff at the counter was very pleasant and quick to answer any questions we had. I went with the quarter chicken (dark meat) paired with the sweet potato fries and corn salad. Available beverages range from speciality fruit beverages, to bottled water, to Pepsi brand fountain drinks and of course, sweet/unsweet tea. I opted to go with just plain water. I was then given a number to place on the table of my choosing and wait for my order to be delivered. The dining room appeared clean with lots of seating. The music was a little loud for my taste, but it was probably the concrete floors and open ceilings that were more to blame for that. There is an adjoining glass window patio section that's much quieter, but it's not climate-controlled and it was pretty humid on the day of our visit, so we stayed in the main dining room and picked a table in the back. Our entrees came out in a timely fashion, and everything looked great. The chicken was moist and very tasty. The sweet potato fries could have been a little crispier in my opinion, but they tasted great. The corn salad was very refreshing. One of the staff came by to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Kudos for that follow-up. Viva Chicken is definitely on our "must return" list.
