So so so happy to see such an authentic and high quality pho place in Winston Salem! My roommate and I are both Vietnamese and thought the quality of the food and authenticity of the food were amazing. Hearing the owners speak to each other in Vietnamese made me really reminiscent being home and when my parents make pho. My roommate and I both got a large combination pho which came with rare slices of beef, tendon, meatballs in a rich and umami pho broth with bouncy rice noodles. The fresh plate of greens and lime added a great citrus and crunchy balance to the dish. We had enough to eat our full and bring some home! We also split a pork banh mi which was so delicious, the bread was roasted and fluffy. Wish there was more filling but overall very satisfied. They also have vermicelli bowls and appetizers on the menu that we may try with time. I really hope they decide to expand their menu to include Vietnamese desserts like che or pandan waffle. The customer service is also quick, prompt, and great. Overall highly recommend this place! Will be back. read more

What Da Pho - combination pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Great service and excellent food. I will definitely return for more than a Bahn Mi sandwich.

I wasn't sure if the take out quality would match the in house quality but I was not disappointed. The take out packaging kept the Pho hot and ready for my bowl. The restaurant provides all the same ingredients and sauces in take out packages. This is the perfect meal for fighting a cold. read more

What Da Pho - Seafood Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I am no pho expert but this hit the spot on a chilly day. The small size filled me up pretty quick but I became hungry again not long after. I wish the ambience were a bit better with music and decor. The service was basic. Note that on a weekday at lunchtime it was fairly busy for such a hidden location. This meal was approx $10 and paid at the register for perspective. read more

This is probably my favorite pho spot in Winston-Salem. The pho broth is on point and hits home every time. Their menu is small and simple which is appreciated. I want to try their other dishes too, but I always end up with the pho because it's that good. I did sample their Bahn Mi sandwich once and they do a great job with it too. I've only been here for lunch so I can't speak for dinner service. Every time I've been here, I was waited on by the owner. He's a nice enough guy and service is always quick and smooth. Unfortunately lunch services don't seem very busy, which is disappointing. C'mon Winston-Salem, don't let good restaurants like this go out of business! Come try them out!! Plus, they have the GOOD fish sauce (the three crabs brand). That's how you know their food is bomb! read more

Winner, winner Pho dinner! If you love Pho (even like Pho), this is the place for you. Depth, savoriness, and color of the broth .. Shhhhmackin! A bit hard to find (hidden gem), but worth the effort. read more

I had the Pork Bahn Mi and Rare Steak pho and both of them were delicious. The Bahn Mi was on the perfect roll that was not to crunchy and not soft, the pork belly was nice and tender and the house Mayo tied it all together. The Pho was flavorful and hit the spot on a rainy day. The service was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly. The restaurant is tucked away in the building but their are plenty of signs that tell you where to go to get to it. read more

Love it! Cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Friendly staff especially the lady. Good price too.

It can be hard to find a good Asian restaurant because so many of them try to serve way too many dishes. These people have a very focused menu that they do extremely well. We will go back for the pho, but the banh mi and egg rolls were just a perfect, light and tasty meal. The server was really friendly and attentive and all of the ingredients were really fresh and tasty. read more

Our first visit to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, and I came away very impressed. The crab Rangoon and veggie eggrolls were on point, and my rare beef pho was rich, fresh, and delicious, as were the sauces for the appetizers. The only thing keeping this review from being five stars was the slow service. I understand that it was a weeknight in a new place, but I would like to have had a little more attention. That being said, I will definitely be back. read more

After trying numerous pho places around Winston-Salem and Greensboro, What Da Pho is definitely the best one! The restaurant is inside a large building, but there are signs that clearly direct you where to go and lead you to the right place. When inside, you'll see that there is plenty of seating, and they have a TV playing beautiful nature scenery which adds to the ambiance. The workers are very friendly and will check on you often. I always get their pho, and it never disappoints. The food comes out hot in a reasonable amount of time. Their broth is flavorful without being salty or watered down. As for the noodles, they have a nice chewy texture that go well with the handful of meat in the soup broth. They definitely do not skimp on the meat! To make things even better, the toppings (basil, bean sprouts, lime, jalapeño) are all super fresh. Thank you for satisfying my pho cravings! read more

Food is delicious! Great service ! It's our new place to grab Vietnamese food!the place was cozy and roomy . It was not to wait to be seated . read more

I had the shrimp vermicelli bowl for lunch today and it was so good yet felt like a light meal i will definitely be coming back here for lunch and the Thai tea was just right. This spot is a little hard to find it's located in the building next to Court side Cafe this location is pretty spacious its a cute little hidden gem really the owners are very nice and attentive as well. I will say parking in the area sucks since it's right next to the courthouse however i always try to park on the street next to the building! read more

What Da Pho - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

When a random Google search brings you to the best pho in town...that makes for a great Friday night! The service was great, the waiter was very attentive, and the feel is very intimate and personal. There are not a lot of places that serve fresh spring rolls, but this place serves the best hands down! I personally grabbed the shrimp pho and my bf grabbed the combination pho bowl...both of our bowls were empty! I think that I found my new favorite pho spot in downtown Winston! *I would post pics, but I thought about it too late read more

Great option. I really miss the readily available pho when I was living on the west coast or in Chicago...I tried one place prior to here and then grabbed some take out for the hubby and me from what da pho on a rainy night. I went with the regular size for both of us which was more than enough. We did the rare steak and one with meatballs as well. I also ordered the spring rolls usually my favorite thing but put them in the fridge while waiting for my husband to get home and forgot about them so I will have to try again next time! The Vietnamese coffee was so good- if this place was more conveniently located I'd pop in just for that! The restaurant itself was clean and there were some people dining in; it's definitely causal which is nice and the man at the counter was nice. As others said it can be a bit tricky to find the entrance and while there is a parking structure you do have to pay to park there, I think it's like $2.00 an hour which sucks if you're spending money there or just grabbing take out. Maybe they can work out something where they validate. All said and done I'd like to return the food was good and I want my spring rolls!!! read more

Ohhhh the taste of home! No, I'm not from Ho Chi Minh City.... But growing up in Orange County California, there was a Pho restaurant on virtually every corner. Especially in the Garden Grove and Westminster communities. Having close friends that are Vietnamese gave me an intro to the cuisine nearly 40 years ago, and it was a Friday night ritual to go out for pho, Bahn mi, Che, ca phe and vermicelli. Since moving to NC some 25 years ago, it's been road trips to Greensboro and Charlotte, although many Vietnamese menus started popping up in Thai restaurants. Finally, we have a purely Vietnamese menu and they keep it simple. The aroma when you walk into the former Meta's Restaurant, smacks you in the nostrils with the beefy heartiness of the slow simmering stock that is the key to a great bowl of pho. I went with a large bowl of #7, their special, or Dac Biet, with brisket, rare beef, tendon and tripe, and it's served with all the standard accoutrements of bean sprouts, jalapeño, lime and Thai Basil. The broth was rich and flavorful on its own... and I almost didn't add anything to it. But the lime juice, sriracha and hoisin sauce just bring on an addicting flavor that is sweet, salty, spicy and sour. That's the beauty of pho... you can customize it to your liking. I judge mine by how many times I have to stop to blow my nose... and this one was an enthusiastic 3 nose blower! The Iced Vietnamese Coffee was perfect as well. Plenty of ice, sweetened condensed milk and super strong coffee. It's the perfect way to cool down the intensity of the jalapeños and sriracha if you've outdone yourself. Hopefully they will add a Three Bean Che with grass jelly for dessert. The Pork Banh Mi had an awesome, warm baguette that was crusty yet pillowy soft inside. The fillings of pickled carrot, daikon and fresh cilantro are light and crisp with a small yet flavorful portion of meat. A thick slice of jalapeño was served on the side. They are small but simple and nicely priced at $5.95. Service was prompt, friendly, and fast. If dining in the evening, the parking garage across from the courthouse is free. We parked on the bottom floor near the first stairwell, and upon reaching the top of the stairs, there is a sign directing you to the restaurant, which is just across the walkway from Courtside Cafe in the former Meta's Restaurant. read more

Service is top notch. Food was hella good. Started with the Pork Banh mi which was super good. Had the pho and the broth was so good. Can't wait to go back read more

Heard of this spot through Instagram and I'm glad I did! I wasn't sure what to expect as there were no reviews. The broth is extremely good, the noodles and meat had the perfect texture to them. The wait time was a little long but the wait was well worth it. Will definitely be coming back and highly recommended you check it out. read more

What Da Pho - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I got a Bahn Mi! After being bummed that I didn't order one on my last visit I was able to swing by and get a pork Bahn Mi to go. Sorry I didn't take a photo of it but the lovely smell and warm torpedo was too much to resist and I am fairly sure it was wholly consumed after just a few blocks. The pork was so tender and sauced perfectly with a little sweetness and pepper. The veggies were crispy and fresh. Only missed some heat from jalapeños but it's entirely possible they don't put jalapeños on their Banh Mi because of the inherent inconsistency of jalapeños and that many folks down here in the south can't even handle the spice of black pepper. I called in my order and it was ready as soon as I walked in and was still warm! read more

This hole in the wall, though difficult to locate, is 100% worth the search! The pho is pho-nomenal. I'm from California and have had my fair share of pho, but this pho is considerably better than the rest. The broth is delicious and soul-warming, the noodles are perfectly cooked and the beef is wonderfully tender. The service is fantastic. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We also got the vegetable egg rolls and they were crunchy, warm and delicious. Highly recommend getting the large size because after a few bites, you'll be wanting a huge portion! You should absolutely consider What Da Pho to be a staple in your restaurant rotation. It is one of the best Asian spots in Winston Salem, and definitely worth the trip! read more

Came in at 6pm on a Friday. Wasn't that busy. We ordered 2 appetizers, a drink, and 2 entrees. Waited 40 mins and hadn't gotten even the drink. Waited another 10, nothing came, so we left. It might be good, but it just took too long on our visit. Was really cold and windy outside too, so every time the door opened was a blast of cold. read more

The service here is great and it typically is not busy and always receive food very quick without a long wait. This is great authentic vietnamese food and great place to go since not many places offer pho. Highly recommend the vietnamese iced coffee!! great low key place for a quick meal and subtle ambient music in the background. read more

There were loads of flies in my vegetable pho. I asked about them and the cook tried to say they were scorched onions and ginger. However you can clearly identify wings and legs on these insects. Never going here again. Even if I were to return, the gentlemen was very rude and told me "Just to leave" read more

Hard to find but worth it. The Pho is really good, I didn't like the meatball one. Taste like it was made fresh each day. The mom is the cook and she comes out to take your order. She is the best part of the meal, always happy and willing to help with the menu. The menu is small but everything is delicious. read more

The food and ambience are amazing. I had read a review that was negative so it took me awhile to try this place but OMG SO GOOD!!! I had the bang mi chicken and my daughter had the pho. First off, the pho is spectacular and tastes home made. She wanted something different so they customize made her pho. I tried it and it was excellent! The barn mi was spectacular. I've had barn mi everywhere from DC to Duluth and this is the best! Marinated chicken, bread perfectly done - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside- fresh veggies and cilantro. So good. This place gets five stars from me!!!! read more

I got the rare steak pho and the chicken wrap appetizer. The chicken wrap was insanely good. It was garlicky and crunchy. They gave me little lettuce cups too. The pho was super tasty. If I lived here I would come all the time. The place is cozy too. Reminds me of when I lived in Asia. Highly recommend read more

My sister was visiting from Honolulu Hawaii and discovered this gem of a restaurant! The brisket pho is absolutely amazing!!! The brisket was so tender. The broth was absolutely amazing the flavors -it just exploded in your mouth!!!! Left me speechless. I absolutely enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Since moving back to North Carolina from Hawaii, I am often in search of dishes I can get from my second home Hawaii. The food is amazing, the staff amazing this is my new favorite spot. I am so excited to have What da Pho in our community of restaurants. You must try it for yourself! read more

In our search for good pho in the Triad, we decided to try a Winston-Salem Vietnamese restaurant. I appreciated the cleverness of the name - What Da Pho. Service was great. The broth was the best we've had since moving from San Diego. We plan to make this trek a few times a year. Best Pho in the area. read more

This little gem is tucked away near the parking garage and I highly recommend. Do not pay attention to the signs saying to not use this door, and anything like that. Trust me, you are going through the correct entrance. This was the second time I've had Pho, and the broth is so much more delicious than the first place, which didn't have the fragrant taste of star anise and the other herbs ans spices that comes in Pho. The menu is not that large which, I believe makes each dish more special. My husband has a shellfish allergy, and he did not have a problem, but the place in greensboro, he did not have a problem either. I got the large rare steak pho and Vietnamese iced coffee which is always delicious, and my husband got the chicken pho and Thai tea. My belly was stuffed. The order came with more noodles than I'm used to so I would recommend a smaller bowl with extra meat for myself when I go back. They also have the combination pho, and even though I've wanted to try tendon and tripe, I don't think I'm their yet. If you are still deciding, please stop by for a bowl. read more

Loved the pho the service was okay but not the best, it was a little wait just to order but overall pretty good.

Another hidden 4 star restaurant in the heart of Winston-Salem. Amazingly well below price. I understand why this place has a 4.5 star rating. Spring rolls with pork or without pork was made fresh and crackling outer crust. The steak Pho is amazing. Silky smooth broth. Added sriracha made it spicy heaven that cocooned me to tears. Service was all over helping us out with ordering and how to order. Amazingly!!! No one was here. And I mean no one. The only ones that came in were regulars. Amazing place. Magical food. Traditional Lo-main was amazing. People need to come here. read more
