Pho Hong

I’ve been to a lot of places for phở but Phở Hong is the best so far. I come here any chance that I get for a bowl of phở.

Bun bo hue was phenomenal. Employees were very friendly. I got a takeout order but the restaurant looked nice and clean.

On a visit to Charlotte, Hubby and I wanted to check out one of the Vietnamese restaurants because we had heard good things — and Phở Hong didn’t disappoint. We arrived for lunch on a rainy Monday afternoon and were seated (with high chair for our 1 year old) at a table booth right away. The phở was great! Tasty, clean broth. The bowl wasn’t impressively large, but it was FULL of noodles and my 3 chose proteins (tendon, beef balls, tripe). The hostess/​waitress is about 8 months pregnant, though, and it felt kind of wrong to have her waiting on us!

Good phở. More authentic than some other places. smaller portions available, good for lunch. They have bubble tea which is a plus.

Phở Yeah! This really hit the spot! Hearty broth, fresh herbs, tender meat… recipe for creating a Regular Customer! Open 7 days a week & close to the job… I couldn’t ask for more. Only open 5 months, good service, friendly & clean. My Thai Tea was on point too! I’ll be back!

I am a lover of phở but am by no means an expert. I have a couple of places around Charlotte to get my phở fix but when this place opened so close to my house we were all super excited. I ordered the seafood phở.#41. The shrimp was a nice size but the other meats that were suppose to be in there were represented by some kind of pink seafood shavings. The broth was very tasty. I ordered take out but the décor is nice and the place was far from busy. I’ll probably be back cause it’s so close to my house but for a really good phở experience I would recommend Phở An hoa or Ben Than.

There were so many choices on the menu! But not to worry! I was already craving shrimp! I decided to get the shrimp and chicken in rice paper. And I was more than impressed ! The food is fresh! The peanut sauce is spectacular ! The service is sweet! The place is so clean! Definitely a place I would come on the regular!

First off let me start by saying I am not a «phở» expert, I know nothing about traditional Vietnamese food. I can say however, the food here is AMAZING!!! I had the phở with chicken and a mango bubba, and shrimp rolls in rice paper. Not sure the actual names for the stuff other than yumm, yummyer, and yummo. I got my phở, tossed in all the extras and some siracha and fish sauce and immediately went to soup heaven. It was spicy, and savory, and the fresh aromatics? Oh lord. The hubby is not a fan of foreign food, but his pork chops and rice? Not a bite left. And while the food was heavenly, our server managed to top that! She was friendly and helpful and frequently checked on us to make sure everything was great. All in all I will be back, with friends, with family, with my bigger pants!

This review is a cross between ‘meh’ & ‘ok’. I’ve been to this place about 3 times. The egg rolls are really delicious. They don’t tell you this, but you can actually order as few or as many as you want. If you order less than 6, make sure you ask for the mint leaves, lettuce, cucumber, & dipping sauce. Use the lettuce to wrap the egg roll & add your fixings. DELICIOUS.
I ordered the number 1 for lunch. It is a noodle dish with meatballs, tripe, tendons, & flank steak. I don’t know the Vietnamese name for it. They give you bean sprouts and lime to add as condiments. On the first 2 trips the soup was good. However, on the last trip the tripe & tendons were inedible. I couldn’t even chew it and I have teeth like a horse. I won’t say i’d never go there again because I will. Perhaps i’ll try something else on the menu and avoid the tripe and tendons all together.

We have had phở at every place in Charlotte and this place, along with nearby Phở Hoa, is the best. The phở tastes amazing, the bubble tea is yummy, AND they have the best prices of any of the phở restaurants. Can’t wait to try it again!

Went here for the first time this week, food was delicious and my desert cup (Che) was so darn good I got me a second cup! We got the Bo muc Tom nuong and I enjoy that very much, made me feel like I was back in Vietnam again. Only with AC. Taking my parents here for lunch on a few weeks! My stomach very much enjoyed this place. Will be returning for some more Che

Decided to try this place based off the reviews. Once again Unilocal put me in the right spot for dinner! They took our order with no problems and said it would be 5 to 10 minutes… what! That’s fast for a order for 3 people. Once we arrive the food was just about ready and the people were sooo nice and friendly.

I have been here twice now and learned how to ask for their help. I am not experienced with Vietnamese restaurants, so I am pretty clueless. The staff is very friendly and always helpful! I do know good food and I have found it here!

I really wanted to like this place and was excited to go. This was going to be a culinary adventure for the family! Unfortunately it was a «hot mess».
The wait staff was friendly but really not helpful. We ordered the Grilled Pork Rice Paper Rolls, the Bo Tom Nuong Vi (I thought everyone would like grilling their own food) and asked for an appetizer portion of noodles with meat that the waiter suggested for my children. We specifically told the waiter we did not care for squid (Muc) and only wanted beef and shrimp. I was excited to try a «33», Vietnamese beer.
As we were sitting in a booth with not much room, the waiter suggested and helped us move to a bigger table. The staff set up the grill, brought out the proteins and a semicircular bowl of hot water. A waitress asked if this was the first time we had ordered this and we said «yes». Sitting on top of the beef and shrimp was a large amount of squid. At the bottom of the hot water bowl were some dead gnats/​bugs, as pointed out to me by my spouse; I chose not to mention it. No one told us what the bowl was for or gave us any instructions/​tips on how to proceed even after they asked and knew this was our first time. We decided to just avoid the water container altogether.
Next came a full size portion of crunchy noodles with shrimp on top, not an appetizer portion. Now a waitress had officially taken over for our waiter. We mentioned that the portion was way bigger than we ordered, asked if kids ate this dish and pointed out there was squid on top of our other food. She apologized and said that she had never seen kids eat those kind of noodles (too difficult to eat) and she would have recommended small bowls of Phở. She said that the cook hadn’t listened and made some mistakes (don’t you write these things down when we order). We picked the squid off and placed it in a bowl. It would have been really nice and professional if someone had offered to replace the squid with more of the beef or shrimp we had originally ordered; no one did. The Rice Paper Rolls were just okay. To her credit, the waitress was very apologetic but apologies only go so far. We were not charged for the crunchy noodles (which no one ate) and the bill was still $ 40+. $ 26 for a few slices of beef and shrimp ended up feeling way overpriced and not as much fun as I had thought. On the way out she said we should come back and try the Phở. If Phở is one page of an almost eight page menu, maybe your menu is too large…
On the way out, employees were sitting cross legged on the sidewalk smoking…
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place. Sorry, like I said, I really wanted to like you!

Nice little hidden gem. The menu, like most Vietnamese restaurants is gigantic. Settled on some summer rolls, bun and clear noodle soup. The food was good, though the summer rolls were not quite as good as Lang Van’s.
Enjoyed an iced coffee, which if you haven’t had at a Vietnamese place before, is pour over and extremely strong, served atop sweetened condensed milk. Phở Hong’s was delicious, though I think the waitress enjoyed watching me struggle with it a bit. :-)
The décor of the restaurant is nicely done and the it was immaculately clean. There’s a large fish tank near the front, and the fish follow you as you walk near it.
Prices are borderline incredibly low. Service overall was friendly, though just can’t compare to the family-​friend feeling of Lang Van.
Would definitely go back though!

I see a sign with the word Phở and my mind tells me I must eat there. So that is what happened. I was across the street shopping in the plaza with my family and saw the word Phở in the distance and I turned and told my hunny we had to go there. So off we went.
And I will be honest, I walked in and it was deserted, quite empty. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was prepared for mediocre food. The staff was very friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
When we ordered phở and I took the first sip, my belly started to dance. It was good and flavorful. I could pass on their shrimp and pork rolls but everything else we have had is delicious here.
What I really enjoy about this place, is that their prices are affordable and a bowl doesn’t cost me too much. The only drawback for me is I am seldom in the area but when I am it is a guarantee that I will always stop here for some delicious eats. This is definitely a contender in my top 3 for viet food in the Queen City.

Great new place! We got take out tonight and we ordered brisket phở bowls. Husband and I agree, this is some of the better broths we’ve had!
Will certainly return to dine in soon!

New Vietnamese restaurant in Charlotte. I’m Vietnamese and I eat vietnamese food everyday. I’ve eaten at every place located around Charlotte but this is by far my new favorite restaurant. I’ve eaten here everyday for the past two weeks and there has not been an item that displeases me. Great for family sharing meals or a cold rainy day a Phở bowl hits the spot, it’s noticeably that everything is fresh!

Phở Hong is a new Vietnamese resturuarant in our neighborhood. Therefore, my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try Saturday night. We were blown away with both the quality and freshness of the food, and the friendliness of the staff.
We both ordered the Bun Combination on the recommendation of our server. The vegetables were fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection resulting in an absolutely amazing dish! We were so ecstatic with how good it was that we decided to return again tonight. Once again, this place did not disappoint. We are so excited to dine here again, and venture out to try some new dishes.

A friend of mine told me about this place and i gave it a try. They were pretty busy when we came and it seems like they were short staffed. However, we were greeted and sat quickly. Our server was very friendly and gave us her recommendations when we asked her whats their specialty. We got the grilled fish (ca nuong), chicken curry on rice (ga roti), and the little meat thingies wrapped in some kind of leaves (bo la lot). They were one word: DELICIOUS! The service was a bit slow (understandable since it was still grand opening week) nonetheless it was worth coming. I would definitely return and would recommend to all my family and friends.
