Stopped in for a late afternoon lunch. Had the beef pho special soup. The name may not be exact, but it is the typical all beef pho soup. It contained brisket slices, meatballs, tendon, trip, etc. We also had the egg noodles with chicken. Both were great Vietnamese food! Great flavor. The folks were also very friendly and pleasant. The prices were higher than other Vietnamese restaurants around the country. I was actually a bit shocked at how high they were, but it was still a nice meal. read more

I love duck and was very excited to try the spicy duck with lemongrass while visiting my mother. I picked up 2 orders. First of all there was no lemongrass in either meal. Secondly, the duck was HORRIBLE with bones everywhere. They don't know how to cut up a duck. I also ordered a side of noodles. The noodles were dry, cold and stuck together. The employees are nice but the restaurant itself isn't. read more

Best fresh Spring Rolls and Pho in town! The atmosphere is casual and friendly. The service is great, and the food always comes out fast!

It was ok. Nothing great out of the ordinary basic Vietnamese restaurant. 1 stars only because we went there for the ox tail pho. They said they no longer have it but it was still listed on the menu. We order the duck instead and was told again. They no longer serve duck but it was still listed in the menu. Its not hard to cross it out or inform the customer prior to ordering. Ordered the the pad Thai but it wasn't even close to pad Thai. It was pretty much a stir fry. read more

Tonight, I dined in and ordered the special pho, fried calamari and a Vietnamese iced coffee. All were good. Although the calamari was a bit too soft for my liking, but maybe the chef had an off day, so I'm not going to take off a star just for that. read more

Needed my pho-fix while visiting my sister in Nixa Missouri. At here twice during said visit, and oh man, everything I tried was delicious! They have a huge menu so unfortunately in my short visit, I was only able to try the pho (w/rare beef), the potstickers, the spring roll, and the egg roll. All was very good! For pho: I recommend tasting the broth before adding hoison or siracha sauces - not needed, not IMO. I will definitely return to Hong Yen next summer! read more

The server was knowledgeable and expressed his enjoyment of the food he was selling. The Pho was fab! My sis got the Bun with pork and an egg roll. Both were delish. The shrimp wraps were tasty but simple-shrimp in a wrap-that's it! read more

This is now hands down my favorite place in Springfield for Vietnamese cuisine. The Pho is made perfectly and served piping hot the Bun Bo Hue has fantastic flavor wish it was spicier but a great rendition of Hue style cuisine. The Bahn Mi is a great and cheap treat if you are interest in a Viet sandwich. I cannot say more about this place just order one of everything read more

Service: 4 stars (would've been 5 but my husband drinks quickly and his drink was empty for a bit even though it wasn't busy) Value for price: 5 stars (not expensive at all!) Quality of food: 4 stars (meat was tender, fresh crisp veggies, etc) Portion size: 4 stars (we didn't leave hungry lol) Flavor of food: 5 stars (everything was flavorful!) We ordered Combination Pho #15 and Short Ribs plate. Delicious! Large portions, excellent flavor. The only thing we weren't crazy about was the spring rolls. But we will definitely be back! read more

The food is amazing the servers are extremely nice asking every tine they pass by if we need anything great experience

First, hit myself in the head because I forgot to take a pic of my meal or my friends. However, don't let discourage you. This place is great. A little hidden gem with a big shine. The food was both fast and very good. My friend recommended this place and I definitely plan on going back once I return to Springfield. The service was efficient and our waiter was patient with us, due to us not being able to make up mind with all the great things on the menu. I ordered the duck. And when I say that duck was juicy, tender and succulent. I forgot what my friends ordered once I laid eyes on my plate. The atmosphere had a homey feel to it. Everyone was greeted warmly. Am looking forward to taking my family so they can stop giving me that, Sure, it's that good look." Next time I will have pics though. read more

Went here on a whim, I had duck, my wife had chicken fried rice and my daughter had pho. All were excellent!!!

Hong Yen - Beef Pho after hoisen and sriracha but the broth is the best I've tried in Springfield so far - Vietnamese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Best Vietnamese food in the area! The PHO!!!! The broth is what makes or break a good Pho and they have nailed it! We have literally been searching for great Vietnamese food since moving about an hour away from here three years ago from Charlotte, Nc. We were spiked with incredible ethnic food there and in previous places we have lived (nyc etc.). Have tried several place in Springfield and this is our fave!!! I crave it on a regular basis it is SO good! read more

I love Pho and tried it at many different restaurants. I always judge it by the flavor of the broth and portion size. THE BROTH WAS AWESOME! It really hit the spot! BUT, the bowl was mostly soup and could really use more noodles and meat. I do recommend this place overall. read more

I got take out. Food was good. I won't come back. The place was packed all together and several tables empty. They weren't trying to separate the tables and everyone was bunched together at the entrance. The employees were wearing masks but that was it. Also I had to wait 10 extra minutes for my order than they estimated and it was more money than the on line menu stated. I'd double check the price before you check out on the phone. read more

Amazing food and friendly staff. Their egg fried noodle dishes are divine. We love this place.

This is my favourite vietnamese restaurant in town. The bone broth used in the pho is so incredible, packed with so much flavor! I could live off this broth. The prices are low, and the portions are massive--such a great deal! I can usually make 2 meals out of one portion of their pho. Raw beef pho (#12 on the menu) is my go to. I haven't branched out much from there, because I like #12 so much it's hard not to order it every time I'm there! read more

They were very busy when we came in, but service was AMAZING! The rare pho is so so good. Five stars, 100%

I recently heard about this new Vietnamese place called Hong Yen while eating out at a local Thai eatery. After having a dismal Vietnamese fare experience for dinner last night, I was still on the hunt to cure a craving I was having. So I decided to give Hong Yen's a shot. The restaurant itself is located inside the Imperial Shopping center (next to Billy Sims BBQ) on the northeast corner of Campbell and Battlefield. 1st Impressions: Once you walk in the atmosphere is quant and very welcoming. It's smaller in size when compared to some of the other Asian-style eateries around here, with seating for about 49 by my count. It was very clean and there was an ambiance set by the flowing waterfall wall and the Jazz style music playing. Upon entering, I was greeted by a lone waitress and I was asked to seat myself anywhere I like. Since I was by myself, I opted for the 2 person table. The food: When trying a new Asian-style eatery, I always ask about the tea selection (specifically the hot tea variety). I really enjoy a good hot cup of tea, and the waitress confirmed they offer a hot Oolong Tea. So I went with that while I perused the menu. When she came back with my tea, I was mildly disappointed. As it turned out their "Hot Oolong Tea" was a tea cup of hot water accompanied by a tea bag of Oolong Tea. Although it was still a good cup of tea when all was said and done, I was really hoping for a service of a hot tea kettle with tea leaves steeping inside. For my meal, I decided to check out the fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls and a hot bowl of Phó Tai (Vietnamese rice noodle soup with thin rare beef strips). Side note, the waitress serving me didn't seem too knowledgeable of the menu based on overhearing her with other customers and because she kept pronouncing the Phó as Phō. I found it mildly entertaining, but maybe that's just me? It should also be noted here that this Vietnamese restaurant has the biggest and widest variety menu I've seen in this area. There really should be something here for everyone's tastes and likes. The Spring rolls came out promptly and came with two very full rolls which is always a welcomed sight. I've been to some places that try to pass off empty rolled up rice paper shells with little to nothing stuffed inside of them. This was not the case. In addition to the delicious looking Spring Rolls, the accompanying peanut-sauce looked thick, dark, and full-bodied just as if it were homemade. Without hesitation I added my dab of sirachai sauce and dove in. The combination of flavored in the rolls was just right. Sometimes there is too much mint, or too much green onion, or not enough meat, or nothing but rice noodles. Again, the combination was just right. When my Phó Tai came out, it was in the normal Phó bowl I'm accustomed to seeing along with a very fresh looking plate of veggies to add to it. The soup broth was dark and rich just as I'd expect it to and after diving into it I found there was a great balance of noodle to broth to beef ratio. A common theme I run into with Phó from a restaurant is not having enough noodles. After all was said and done though, I found myself just drinking the broth as well, which is rare for me in a restaurant setting. Final Thoughts: The food itself was great and left nothing wanting. The restaurant was clean and inviting, which made it easy to enjoy my meal. You can tell the level of quality this location is going for with the plastic chopsticks, the billfold menus, and decor. It almost hits on all cylinders for me. My only reservation was my server. She seemed somewhat timid, almost like she was afraid to talk to me. She also didn't appear to know the menu very well or what kind of food she was serving. When coming to a place like this I really enjoy chatting with my server about the food and when they don't know about the food it's kind of difficult. All-in-all, I will definitely be revisiting Hong Yen's to try out other menu items and see if they're just as delicious as what I had today. I would also highly recommend trying this place if you like Asian-style fare and are looking for something new to try. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Finally, to give you an idea of price: My hot tea, Spring Rolls, and Phó Tai was $15.94 before tip. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope you visit Hong Yen's for some delicious Vietnamese Food. read more

My spouse and I had the meatball and the special pho. We're from out of state and was craving pho, however this just didn't do it for us. The broth was too clear and was lacking beef flavor. The noodles were okay and service was great and they weren't stingy about meat. So overall, this pho place was okay. read more

Great service and great food! Pho Kim down the road is closed on Tuesdays so I was lucky enough to try this place out. Hong Yen is every bit as good as Pho Kim if you are looking for awesome Vietnamese food with the added bonus of more plentiful parking and a slightly larger dining area. This place is closed on Wednesdays so go to Pho Kim on humpdays. I love the spring rolls, pho, and Vietnamese iced coffee. This place is now tied for my favorite restaurant in Springfield. read more
