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.

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

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

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 can't remember which one I order but my bao bun didn't really have must flavor to it but the good amount of crunch to it. My service was great very laid back and patient. Overall I had a good time and would love to see the other options of the menu. I feel like their specialities are the more fusion items they offer. I would definitely try this place again and recommend you give this place a try.

As expected given its origins, Xia's menu skews Vietnamese (pho, banh mi, fresh rolls, and lettuce wraps), but there are Chinese influences as well. That menu isn't terribly large, but it does offer a good deal of versatility, including vegetarian options. My wife and I went with steamed dumplings followed by short ribs and garlic green beans with beef and rice. The flavors were excellent across the board. The green beans were sharply garlicky without overwhelming the palate while the ribs offered lemongrass notes and a hint of sweetness. The dumplings will make it hard to go back to the frozen version any time soon. Service was friendly and generally attentive. Our group of four ended up receiving dishes at different times, a possible product of the "small plates" concept blurring the distinction between courses. Speaking of which, expect small portions, especially for the near-entree prices paid. Nothing was outrageous, but a "come hungry and fill up" joint this is not. If you can look past that limitation, Xia's Asian Tapas offers tasty food in an attractive location. Provided you aren't famished, it's worth checking out.

It was busy and bustling, a bit noisy, packed spaced. We were waited on my Evie who was an absolute gem, available and professional. I ordered a special taco plate with fish that was beer battered.

I also had a fresh limeade that was great. I would come back, especially for the service.

Blackberry sage had a muddled, interesting flavor to it. Think wine-y but not quite that either. The mixed berry needed more berry flavor but was okay. Lavender was best out of all, but it was teetering on sickly, almost had too much lavender syrup. For entrees, I ordered the puffy Pete chicken tacos. They came out with crema on it when I ordered it on the side, but it was quickly rectified. The portion was good. I was full by the end. The flavor was okay. Chicken cooked fine. But it didn't have much of a sweet heat kick to it without the jalapeños added. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily get it again when we go back. My fiancé ordered the Houston beef puffy taco. He thought the taco was very filling. It had meat falling out of it, which was good. It tasted like a typical ground beef taco. He hoped the chorizo would elevate it, but it didn't. It was similar to a Taco Bell beef taco. Overall, decent tacos, and it helped that it was big for the price. We want to visit again, but we'll try other menu items and stick with water. The music was fine. Country and nothing stuck out. Service was fine. She kept only giving a small amount of napkins for a messy dish, which was a bit annoying, but she was very helpful answering our questions for our first time. So she was overall helpful and pleasant.

Since it was Valentine's Day and we knew many restaurants would be packed, we decided to give it a try, thinking a place like this might not be too busy. We were so wrong. It was overcrowded. Apparently, they were also offering a Valentine's Day buffet and hosting karaoke night on top of that. Because it was so crowded, tables were even set up in areas where people would normally walk through. We definitely didn't want the buffet but one of the staff members gave us a menu and told us they were also serving from their regular menu. We still considered leaving since the only available seating was at two small tables in the aisle but since we were already there, we decided to stay. It was very loud so we couldn't really ask the staff about the dishes. Not knowing what to order, we went with the combo plates. I got the Pork Sisig combo, and my husband ordered the Beef Tapa combo. The food was good overall. The flavors reminded us of a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine which was interesting. My sisig was a bit too salty, though. The only thing we weren't big fans of was the veggie rolls. We're still curious to try some of their other dishes so we'll probably give it another shot.
