    Beef Banh Mi
    Syed S.

    While Huong is a quintessential hole-in-the-wall restaurant, the food here is delicious and made with love. The service is efficient but friendly, and the lady at the counter helped me with the menu and was more than accommodating with my customizations. My takeout order arrived quickly and both the spring rolls and the banh mi traveled really well. The packaging of the food was done with a lot of care, which I always appreciate. I was in a hurry this time and did not get to try out more menu items. I will certainly be back when I am in the area to try out their other dishes.

    Inside

    Food is good. Service is good. Walls are really really gross Please wipe and clean your walls. Almost made me lose my appetite!

    Bahn mi, spring rolls
    Charis W.

    Pretty average Vietnamese place. They had all your standard Vietnamese menu items including pho, vermicelli, broken rice, bahn mi, bun bo hue, bahn xeo, and appetizers. Everything tasted good - nothing outstanding but definitely not bad. Simply average. Service was fast and efficient, definitely a very authentic experience with the wait staff yelling at each other across the restaurant and one waitress even carrying her baby in a carrier while serving. The best part about this place is the prices!! Great deal for the amount of food you get.

    Grilled pork chops

    We drove up here for lunch after a very long night out. It was moderately busy with a super super nice staff. I got my usual orders for any pho spot which are spring rolls, crispy egg rolls, a classic beef pho and a side of grilled pork. Usually, most pho spots taste pretty similar but this one had such a flavorful broth that completely replenished any fatigue and drowsiness I had. I also got the chicken stock pho which gave a fresh new meaning to pho. The grilled pork was also a great complimentary seasoned piece to my meal and I was really glad I ordered it. Something I did not order that I was a little curious about was their bahn mi - it came larger than a Subway footlong with a bread that looked perfectly toasty! Portions were generous and prices were friendly. Would definitely come up here again if I am ever in Columbus.

    Inside is tables and chairs. Enough for quite a few people. The service was good. When coming to this restaurant, you have to write down what you're ordering. The host gives you a pencil and a card. Different but not bad. I ordered fried Eggrolls, papaya salad with beef jerky, and steak and meatball phó. The Eggrolls were great. The papaya salad was something new for me. I have never had it with a light, clean garlic flavor with a little sweetness. It tasted great. The phó broth was spot on for what I want in a broth. Light, fatty and not overly seasoned. Listen, when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant, and you're the only non-Asian person there, you know it's going to be good. I will be coming back here.

    We were visiting Columbus and stopped by here for lunch. The food was good with a generous serving size!! We got the grilled beef banh mi, beef & shrimp rice vermicelli noodle salad, and egg rolls. Egg rolls were good--pretty standard/average. The banh mi came with the beef and pate on the bread & veggies on the side to assemble yourself. My partner didn't mind since he could add what he just wanted to. The rice vermicelli noodle salad/bun is pretty standard. However, the grilled beef in both dishes was star of the show & our favorite bite. It was delicious and had a nice char!! Fun throwback music playing on the TV. FYI, you write down your order yourself. Some might not like that but we didn't mind (basically the non-electronic version of ordering on a tablet lol)--especially for a good and inexpensive spot! Nice folks, too. We would come back if we find ourselves in the area again. :)

    Excellent authentic Vietnamese food serenaded by 70-80's music videos. You're there for the food with warm service.

    PHO Combo

    The broth was absolutely delicious was plenty of beef and tripe and meatballs and they give you plenty of condiments to go with it. My only complaint is there was no beef tendon in my PHO

    Tapioca dumplings

    I tried Huong's on a really cold day which was perfect because my friend and I both wanted soup! I was told by someone who backpacked through Vietnam that this was one of the few restaurants that had the same exact flavors he had in Vietnam. Such high praise! The menu is extensive! So many options! My friend and I grabbed takeout menus so that we can come back next time. I stuck with pho with rare steak, while my friend got bun bo hue. We also shared dumplings made from tapioca. Everything was delicious! I couldn't finish my noodles so I brought it home. It wasn't busy here but there were a number of people dining in. Parking shares with other businesses but it wasn't busy here.

    1. Cha Gio, 6B. Chao Tom, 8. Banh Bot Loc
    Jackie X.

    Came here on a Wednesday around 6:45 pm. We were worried because it was less than an hour till their closing time but the man didn't hesitate as he immediately greeted us and asked how many. We chose our items quickly so they didn't have to wait on us for too long. There were 3 other small groups inside but plenty of seating for more. The inside is very casual but intimate, with Asian decorations. The bathrooms are a little old but they do the job, and you need a code to get in so ask one of the people working for it. We decided to get the #1 cha gio (fried egg rolls), the #8 banh bot loc (steamed tapioca dumplings), #21 pho tai (rare beef steak), #39A banh exp tom thit (Vietnamese crepe), and #6B chao tom (shrimp cake wrapped sugar cane skewers). The food was ready within minutes. First were the appetizers and the entrees literally a moment later. Everything was piping hot and delicious. Service was quick and friendly and you pay at the counter when you're done (like most casual Vietnamese restaurants in America). Everything was way beyond reasonably priced, very cheap for good to amazing quality food! The cha Gio was flavorful and crispy, a bit small but for $4 totally worth the 3 pieces. The fish sauce dipping sauce was perfect and not watered down too much. The tapioca dumplings were good but nothing special, good to try and fun texture but I personally would want to try other things. The shrimp skewers were also good to try and fun to eat but nothing special for me. It was cool to eat the sugar cane skewers but they lost a lot of flavor and sweetness being roasted. The pho tai was perfectly sized for me and while the broth wasn't the most flavorful I've ever had, it still hit the spot and was super cheap. There was also a good noodle to broth ratio and came with plenty of serranos, bean sprouts, basil, and lime. The banh xeo was delicious!! This was the best thing I tried (my sister came here before and got this again because it was so good) and is definitely a must try. You can cut up pieces of the crepe and place it in a piece of lettuce, then add bean sprouts, peppers, and basil and dunk in the large fish sauce with pickled veggies. The crepe is extremely crispy and has such a great texture, while the dipping sauce adds a bunch of flavor. This convinced me to try getting this at every Vietnamese restaurant I can from here on out to compare (I do this was pho tai already). Would 100% come back again. Such a good spot and friendly people!

    Vietnamese coffee
    Beulah S.

    Still so good on a cold weather! The pho and spring roll are a great combo when it's dark and cold outside. Love the simple, uncomplicated service. You come in, sit down, write the number of the dish you want and enjoy! Not too fancy place but the food and prices are so worth it!

    Aubrey L.

    Huong's has been my favorite Vietnamese spot for a very long time. I have been coming here since 2015 and it's been just as amazing every single time. They staff are friendly, the restaurant itself is quint but ideal for just cozying in and enjoying your food. They have a large menu and there is truly something for everyone. It was my husbands first time trying my Vietnamese so we ordered regular spring rolls with shrimp, spring rolls without shrimp, beef pho, tofu bahn mi, and the pork and rice dish. We finished with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was so amazing but truly I think their pho is the best in Columbus. It's full of flavor and depth and perfect for the winter time. I will of course be back hopefully soon

    Busy!!!
    Ashley W.

    Huong Vietnamese has been a staple for years since I moved here. I bring all my friends here! So much good food. It gets so so busy at lunch so you might have to wait a bit to get a seat! So me and my friend chilled in the car until we saw people leave. Once we came back we were seated immediately. The space is so vintage and rich. I love that they play pop elevator music and have church brown panels on the walls. It make me feel at home. With a large mural of water, boats and crabs in the art. We got a lil notepad to order our meal. And I choose the Pho Tai Bo Vien. Rare steak and beef meat ball with rice noodles and a savory beef broth. Paired with fresh greens: jalapeno, thai basil, beansprouts, and cilantro. Paired it with the tasty Cha gio deep fried egg rolls. It was so good! 5 stars for great service and consistency!

When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

The stone pot does cool down pretty quickly so you should definitely add the meats first but I like the variety of the toppings and how it is very customizable.

What makes this dish even more special is after a friend told me about the Chinese folktale that explains the origins of the Yunnan crossing noodle soup. It was supposedly created by a wife of a scholar who began to prepare the soup and ingredients separately and crossed a bridge every day to bring it to her husband (who was so engrossed in his studies that his food would get cold) so he could eat his noodles fresh and hot.
