    Pork Banh Mi
    William H.

    Love the food here! Especially the Bahn Mi sandwiches. You really can't go wrong with any dish. The flavors are authentic spices are on point. The staff is very friendly and always takes care of you. The Restaurant is a little bit off the beaten path, but is plenty of seating in a laid-back quiet environment. Try it out you won't be disappointed!

    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.

    P1 Rare Steak Pho

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Tofu pho (Vegan)!
    Lane L.

    My fiancé and I LOVE this restaurant. Family owned, excellent location, always lovely energy. 10000/10! Very very accommodating to dietary restrictions (I'm vegan). Not to mention the best pho we've ever had! Definitely make sure to try the tofu summer rolls with peanut sauce as well. Simply cannot recommend this place more! What Da Pho is Winston's hidden gem!!!

    Excellent first experience!

    We continue to be huge fans of this place. The food is always on point. We love the rare beef pho and shrimp vermicelli. Fresh and delicious. Good service. And the pork egg roles are yummy!

    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.

    Food was sooooooo good! I had the vegetarian pho with beef broth and forgot to take a pic I was so consumed Would definitely recommend and go back. Thai tea was delicious as well! The service was super fast and the recommendation was spot on for what I was looking for. Inside was clean, calm, and beautiful!

    So glad Winston Salem has a pho place I can actually say has great pho! I usually have to venture out to Greensboro to get my Vietnamese fix, but I'm so glad I don't have to make that trip quite as much now. This place is literally a hidden gem in what looks like an office building. It has a "hole in the wall" vibe. My friend and I went for lunch and it was kinda dark inside, but that didn't bother us. She ordered the shrimp vermicelli bowl and I got the rare beef pho. She thoroughly enjoyed hers and I really liked my pho bowl. The broth tasted perfect which is really what can make or break your pho experience. Give this place a try! You won't be disappointed!

We wanted sushi and red curry and they delivered us some excellent eats. Service was awesome and the manager still always comes by to ask if everything is ok. Love that. Probably at some point will need a Reno as they have been open awhile but nothing looked bad nice busy atmosphere and lots of customers which is nice to see. We ordered a standard vodka soda from the drink menu. They have drink specials every day as well. Then we tried the sweet heat roll which was so pretty ! Delicious with all the sushi elements. Yum. Then we tried the poke bowl with ahi tuna. Wow so big! Rice, seaweed salad and lots of Veggies and a yummy soy wasabi vinaigrette. The tuna sashimi was so fresh. Then the red curry with chicken. We asked for extra Thai spicy and it was just the perfect heat. Served with white rice this was a huge portion honestly could have served 3 people. We still had a lot left over . They were also great about giving us another bowl of rice which is also a nice touch . The sauce here for this red curry is amazing. I will be back to buy it as we asked if they sell it and our server said yes . It is one of the best I've ever had. We were somewhat totally full !! Haha! Such a fun night here eating all this amazing Great food . I need to make sure I come back sooner than a few years! If your red curry fan definitely come here!

    Went for lunch. We got two different lunch specials--they came with soup (I paid to upgrade to miso…read moresoup). We also got an appetizer of crab Rangoons. Our soups and appetizer were the absolute best thing we ate. Our entrees were okay. My husband got the beef bulgogi and it needed something. He thought the addition of chili sauce would make it ideal. He gave it a 6 out of 10. I ordered the hibachi beef bowl and it was lacking flavor. The beef was well cooked but didn't seem to have any salt, soy sauce, or anything like that. It was a 5 out of 10.

From the skewers to the custom burgers to the flavorful wings, the menu is like a food tour on demand for the best of Winston-Salem to try. Let's talk skewers. Feeling small bites but loving big flavor? The combo order and the ranges of quantities of skewers are the best way to explore. Good for one person or to share with friends. And honestly, the rest of the menu is giving main character foodie energy. It casually blends Asian street food vibes with comfort-food burgers and chaotic loaded fries in a way that just works. One minute you're ordering bao buns and kushiyaki skewers, the next you're pivoting into a pimento cheese bacon burger or a garlic bread steak sandwich like you're on a global flavor tour with zero jet lag. The fries alone deserve their own spotlight. Truffle rosemary, okonomiyaki, poutine. It's basically a personality test at this point. Add in pho, Panang curry, wings, and boba, and suddenly you realize this is not a quick snack stop. It's the kind of place where you pull up for a bite and end up building your own mini feast because everything sounds too good not to try.

They have Malaysian food and a specialty menu for khmer food. Khmer food is not knowned much in the east but its beginning to be more learned about and popular. There food is rich in flavor and there cuisine is mostly known for there use of fresh herbs, coconut milk and aromatic spice paste;known as kroeung(lemon grass paste). I decided to try some entrees from the Khmer menu. I tryed the Malaysian Roti appetizer with side curry. It is so so delicous. The curry is tasty too but a little too sweet for my taste. Main entrees I tryed was the chicken kroeung (sour lemongrass soup) and the braised pork meat on bone cooked in soy sauce( Malaysian style but Khmer people have a similar dish). The chicken kroeung is soup for the soul, filled with alot of green veggies and best eaten with white rice. The braised pork meat is great too. Cooked just right and seasoned good. Its not sweet or salty. Usually I would try braised meat in soy at other restaurants either it would be way too sweet or salty but they made theres just right. Now the Southeastern asian cooking is not for everybody or those who have only tried chinese or japanese food. If you'd like to try something different but oh sooo delicous,khmer cusine is for you!! The staff is very welcoming,friendly and informative. Food came out hot,quick and tasty(bursting of aromatic flavors). I met the owner too.

But when I ordered it the manager,Tony Tan, said the dish was actually 1/2 Roasted Duck! I went with the duck(which includes steamed rice), and added Baby Bok Choy, a nicely stir-fried dish that goes very well as a side item with a great many Asian entrees! These items made up a very nice meal. The duck is chopped into chunks with bone in, and is plated with a nice amount of rich broth, with just a hint of sweetness. The chunked up approach for the duck does result in some small pieces of bone to be picked through, in some cases fairly carefully. The picking through the bones was definitely worth it. I'm looking forward to trying additional Cambodian dishes.

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.
