I found this little place while looking for a good noodle restaurant on a blustery day. I'm so happy I did! The prices are reasonable. The food is terrific, very tasty. The staff is super friendly. Really the only thing I don't like is the atmosphere. I'm not a fan of the converted strip mall experience at all. If this were a bonafide real restaurant with comfy booths, etc. this would easily be a 5 star rating for me. If you're looking for some good noodles, this is the place. read more

This place came recommended from a friend. It was excellent! We had the combination noodle. The veggies were fresh and the meats were tender. Service was quick and efficient. Just go!! read more

I've been here twice and each time has been wonderful! The location is very new, and the staff is super friendly. The cooks in the back even came out while my sister and I were paying for our meal and asked for feedback. They're just really invested in their restaurant, it's great to see! The fried rice is top notch, and the pad thai was pretty yummy. Very different, but certainly not bad. The appetizers are really good too. I'm happy this place opened up, I can't wait to try the pho! read more

Came by a week ago. Service was good, took our order fairly quickly and the food came out just a few minutes later. It was also really nice that we didn't have to ask for tea or water. Everything was super quick & easy, and of course the pho was amazing. Fresh spring roll is always best. read more

This place has definitely become my go-to pho spot. Sure, it was a little hot inside one day when I went inside to eat, but it was an unusually hot day for the area so I'll let that slide. Most often I prefer to grab takeout and eat at home, especially if I'm sick or hung over, and never once has my order been wrong or incomplete. I do reheat the broth when I get home since I like it EXTRA hot, but it's probably an unnecessary step for those that don't like liquid lava temps. The actual pho broth here is definitely the best I've had in the area, with a great balanced flavor that pho is known for. Perhaps I am being too critical, but I am taking off 1 star for their sriracha/ oyster sauces. I don't know why, but they always taste weird to me from here, and are part of the reason I prefer to eat at home, where i have my own bottles that taste far better. read more

This time I ordered meatball pho and fried shrimp rolls. My mom ordered bun bo hue. The food is delicious and plenty. The service is good! read more

First time. We had the beef pho and plenty of appetizers. Everything was great. Best of all no wait on a Saturday night. Beef pho was tasty with plenty of noodles. Pork egg rolls have lots of meat. Will come back read more

so yummy and fresh and definitely worth every penny. best pho is springfield! the beef broth is out of this world also.

Hong Yen is by far one of my favorite restaurants on the planet. All of there food is magnificent and I eat here many times a week. My first worthy mention is the cost and portion of the food. Not only is the price extremely reasonable but the portion is just about as big as a bowl of soup can get. My personal food of choice is Pho and really it doesn't matter which type cause they are all just as equally delicious. When comparing this Vietnamese restaurant to another with relatively the same menu I find that Hong Yen has the superior flavor. I can also contest that the Korean BBQ short ribs rival that of a Korean restaurant in both price and flavor. Ofcourse there is still the Vietnamese influence but it tastes just as delicious as if I was dining at a Korean restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to every single person I know because the menu is large enough to please even the pickiest of eaters!!!! read more

Definitely my go to place for pho. Good place for date! Service is wonderful. Been going here since they opened.

Does anyone remember the family that used to have the amazing Vietnamese place on Sunshine. Probably 8-10 years ago?! They closed and went to St Louis I think. This same family are the owners of this amazing place. I love and still love their food and this location is great! I had the spring rolls and the pork clear noodle soup (hù tiêu heo). It was delicious and exactly what I needed. We definitely will be going back again and again. read more

The Pho is amazing! Definitely our favorite place for Vietnamese cuisine! Not a fancy big beautiful place by no means but very authentic with some inexpensive Vietnamese/American decor. read more

Large selection from basic Pho to mussels. I had the Pho; broth was on the sweet side, large portion. There was the waterfall decor that made a loud noise. There was seem to be a one person operate, so the service is a bit slow. Overall experience was good, will be back to try other dishes. read more

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine. Clean food, authentic and fresh. Great service. Generous portions.

Awesome food, excellent service and good prices. We have been eating here for over 2 years now. If we are in the mood for Asian, this is where we go ! Seating is limited, so call ahead for party larger than 6 or so. But we have meet friends there many times, once had a part of 15 ! Never disappointed !!!! read more

This has recently become hands down my favorite Asian restaurant and that's really hard for me to do pick a favorite Asian restaurant because there is an any kind of Asian food I don't think it's wonderful. Hong Yen Is really bringing us all to the table where else can you find a restaurant that serves ox tail pho, frog legs, and duck? Not only do they serve frog legs and dark but they have it prepared in multiple manners. All I can say is wow! Everything I've eaten at Hong Yen reminds me back in 1980 when I worked In a restaurant with several Vietnamese women who would bring me lunch we work at an American Chinese restaurant full of cashew chicken but they refused to let me eat that they wanted me to eat the foods that they loved that's what going to Hong Yen reminds me of real Vietnamese cooking. And in all these years I've never had a Vietnamese sandwich but oh my gosh I wish somebody would've given me one of these is a child I'm amazed that a sandwich that is pork cucumber peppers pickled carrots and cilantro without any condiments can be as amazing as it is. But I think the ox tail pho is my favorite. But I'm going to say it again you can't go wrong it doesn't matter pick a dart throat at the menu everything you will get here will be wonderful! read more

This place is my favorite Vietnamese food in Springfield so far. I liked their Muc Xao Xa Ot(squid) and Bo Luc Lac (Filet Mignon).

Small restaurant but the food is good! I always order the rice platter with pork. Never disappoints. The egg rolls are alright and the spring rolls are good! I like their hoisin sauce that the spring rolls comes with. Some other places serve a peanut sauce with theirs but this one is different. I've had their bun bo hue and it's okay. I love mine spicy so I always have to add more of the chili oil in mine. The service can be a hit or miss. They are usually slow when I come in. This is probably one of the cleaner and flavorful vietnamese restaurants in town (that I've tried). Oh and if you've never had vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, you must try it! It has the perfect mix with bitter and sweet. Love!! read more

This restaurant has many authentic and delicious Vietnamese dishes; though, my favorite dish is still "Bun Bo Hue". It's because no matter how many times I order this dish; the broth, the noodle, the meats, and the herbs are so consistent and so flavorful. What makes this dish authentic is the pork nuckle and the pork blood gelatin. If you don't particularly care for the pork nuckle and the pork blood gelatin; my recommendation is to order $2 rare eye round beef and add that to your dish. It will taste heavenly good. This place is clean and has a nice atmosphere. The owner's wife is very friendly and always welcome you with a smile. Other dishes I highly recommend if you haven't tried them here before are: Banh Mi (Vietnamese Authentic Baguette) Com Xuong Nuong (Grilled Pork Chop) Mi Hoanh Thanh (Wonton soup - egg noodles, wontons, and pork or seafood) Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong (Vermicelli noodle with egg rolls and barbecue pork) read more

The most amazing Vietnamese food in Springfield. Very friendly and polite staff. Very large menu. Definitely a repeat customer

The waitress was great. 10/5 on that front. The food was really just okay, though. Someone on the facebook made a snarky comment about the broth being just sugar water and I didn't think much of it until I ordered the pho. It was so bland I added the entire herb plate, an entire extra plate of cilantro and an extra half of a lime. This place wasn't bad, I'd just say incomplete. The food was fresh, I just spent 10 minutes getting it right. If you love vietnamese food for the plethora of veggies and tasty herbs, maybe try a different place, but other than that, no complaints. It was just pretty forgettable. That being said I may just have a super western palate because the 4 vietnamese people I know all HIGHLY recommended this place. *just opened the spring rolls I took to go and they were split down the middle because they were overcooked. Tasty but.... meh. :/ read more

I have only had Pho one other time before trying this place and it had been many years. The portion is very large for the price and the flavor was great. I got the Pho with the rare beef and meatballs. I loved the rare beef but I found the meatballs to be a bit odd in flavor and texture. Next time I will order it with just the rare beef. The quality of the meat was excellent. My friend ordered the squid stir fry which was a bit expensive and a small portion for the price paid although it was delicious. It was odd the pho was adequately priced for the size but the squid dish was not. The service was excellent and I will definitely go back and try some other items on the menu. Update 04/24/2018 - after going back many times and sampling other menu items I have changed my review from 4 to 5 stars. The food is consistently excellent and the staff is great. Sample the different soups. You won't be sorry! read more

I've eaten here twice with a friend from Arkansas who only wants to eat here when in town. My friend introduced me to pho, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious it is! I really love this little restaurant. It's quite, small, cheap, and delicious! I get hungry every time I drive by. The pho comes in a really big bowl; it's almost impossible to finish all of it! I highly recommend eating here! It reminds me of restaurants in Asia~~ read more

Got food poisoning here. Do not go here. It was the only place we ate all day. We ordered the pho with chicken so it could have been uncooked chicken or bad vegetables. read more

My wife and I ate here and it was fantastic. I am American and she is Vietnamese. I have many. Vietnamese friends so I get to try many Vietnamese dishes and my wife and I try all the Vietnamese restaurants we find and this is by far the best. The atmosphere is normal for a small restaurant but the food is amazing. It tasted like the Vietnamese home cooking I am used to. I am not talking about normal home cooking I am talking about family get to get her and show off your cooking skills home cooking. The prices are normal for regular Chinese dining but less than or the same as other Vietnamese restaurants. Just to let you know, Vietnamese food takes more prep and cooking time than Chinese is why it normally runs higher. In this case it was worth every penny. Hope you all try it. read more
