Quick for Vietnamese food, the pho is okay if not a big portion, the nem nuong cuon (spring rolls) are on the skinny side. Some places the food court vibe works out and I appreciate why they do everything in plastic, especially the spring rolls, which are pre-packed singles - when they get busy there's no other way they could keep up. read more

I came here for a quick lunch before hitting the road, and I was decently satisfied. The grilled steak banh mi sandwich is pretty tasty, with lots of steak and spring roll veggies. The food came out quickly and it seems like they have their own nice little seating area within their corner of the North Market. I was only disappointed that they hadn't had their tea or cafe sita available since I suppose that's only a summer offering. read more

Lan Viet Market - 6. Grilled Steak Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

It's ok. It lacks some deep flavors. Service is good . Ambiance is of a fastfood market.

First time in this market and wanted something soupy to warm my bones and this was the first spot I saw! The pho is pretty on the the pricier side and the portions was small. I was disappointed the lack of flavor and how limited the sauces were. They prepackaged the veggies and packets of hoisin and saracha. The service was pretty dismal as well. First meal in Ohio was pretty mid. read more

Every time I come to Columbus for my annual training, I make it a point to stop by the farmers market and visit Lav Viet for some truly great pho. This time I had the Mana Lan pho, and it was excellent as always--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was served by Leo at the front counter, who delivered his usual outstanding customer service. He's genuinely a pleasure to interact with, and having lunch there always feels like catching up with an old friend. Leo should get a big fat raise for consistently going above and beyond--he's a credit to the place! Thanks again, Lav Viet and Leo, for making each visit something to look forward to. See you next time! - Danny from the Lowcountry of South Carolina read more

first time here , food was super delicious. Leo assisted us and recommended the pork banh mi . Everything was delicious especially for the price . Leo was amazing and talked to us for a little bit . I would definitely come back read more

Ate here twice on our trip. Hanoi beef pho is really good, especially with lots of their hot sauce!

Been coming here for a couple decades now I believe. I met the owner randomly at the Asian festival many years ago. They were closing and he didn't want to sell me anything because it wasn't fresh, so he gave me all of their leftovers, around 5 bags, with the promise that I would go visit them at the North Market. I believe I have paid him back and then some. It is the only place I eat at when I come to the market. I have been to Vietnam a few times now and the food is just as good as it is there. I have seen many different workers be there. I used to know everyone. COVID changed a lot of things. They seem to do everything To-Go style now although you do have the option to stay in eat. You used to get the phò and rice and noodle bowl in a beautiful porcelain bowl, now it all comes in tubs. The girl at the counter isn't that nice, but she has gotten better I have noticed. This is a raving review! Food suggestions: Phò is really good. Sometimes I get it split with both chicken and shrimp. Not on menu so ask. ALWAYS get the Hoison sauce and sweet chili sauce. ALWAYS put all the fixings in your phò. The sun goes nicely with the phò. Dip it in there. *chef's kiss* Rice and noodle bowl is really great. Hoison is also great. Lastly - spring roll and dip in peanut sauce unless allergic. You are officially set up and ready to go. Enjoy! read more

I had the rice and noodles bowl the food was average. Sauce was good. Service was poor lady working was rushing no greeting just bitter. Looked fine. I asked for extra shrimp only got four pieces for $3 never going to do that again. Not sure if I'd come back. read more

Amazing how one worker can ruin an entire place. Rude attitude, wrong orders, and magically "given" sauces and limes that never appeared. If ignoring customers was a sport, she'd be a champion. read more

We have a favorite Vietnamese bakery back home that we frequent so I wanted to try what Columbus had to offer! I had the Grilled Steak Banh Mi, and my wife had the Grilled Chicken. We both found them to be packed full of flavor! The steak and chicken were both tender and the veggies crisp. My only suggestion is that they make sure they use fresh French bread. My bread did not taste super fresh. It was sort of spongy and chewy. Banh Mi bread should be soft on the inside with a slight crunch to the crust. This did not have that. I guess that's one thing our place back home has going for them. read more

Tofu pho was a great value and very tasty. I ordered it to go and it came with all of the accoutrements. Service was a little brusque.

Lan Viet Market located in the North Market downtown serves authentic and delicious food inspired by the culture of Vietnam. Today I ordered DoorDash takeout. Everything arrived hot and well packaged from the restaurant. Ordered: 2 Summer Rolls 1 Tri Tip Steak 1 Grilled Pork Pho Value: Total cost was $35. The portions were large with fresh ingredients so I felt this was a good value. Everything was delicious! The broth for the Pho was soooo good! Everything was fresh and a great balance of savory, sweet and spicy. Be sure to give this place a try! read more

Find more reviews & photos on my Instagram @betseat hot but valid take - best pho in cbus & my favorite Sunday hangover meal !! comment your fave pho place - always on the quest for a good one. Lan Viet offers amazing food, great portions for a very fair price. They are super quick and take-out friendly - easy to reheat & parking is accessible for in and out run ins. Let's Eat: Beef Pho - the 24 hour broth is to die for, the broth is the foundation and essence of pho and they crush it!! I love how the beef is barely cooked so it cooks in the broth and the toppings are simple to let everything shine through. I do wish they gave you more noodles - sometimes the ratio is off. I split this portion in half and reheat the broth separately and put the noodles and meat in at the end so you get two meals in one! 5/5 Beef Bahn Mi - the beef is perfectly marinated and grilled stuffed (literally stuffed so much meat) in a baguette and paired with pickeled vegetables and Mayo. the pickeled vegetables cut through the marinated meat. 5/5 Hot Sauce - the hot sauce gets its own bullet point cause it's perfectly spicy, seasoned, acidic - I pair this with my banh mi & pho and always ask for 2 on the side. Need them to bottle this up and sell it plz. read more

I was excited to come dine in on a delicious bowl of pho as I was out of town and saw wonderful reviews from here on Yelp. I saw the business hours stated they opened from 10:30am. Upon arrival at 10:32am, the man at the register informed me that they actually opened at 11am. I told him how the business hours were wrong and that he should fix it so future customers won't waste their time and he basically shrugged me off. Great service. read more

Quick service. Kind staff. Quality, authentic fresh food done the right way. Left feeling full without the "heavy" drag.

I've been getting chicken pho from Lan Viet in North Market for years! In my opinion, they're the best pho in all of Columbus! The staff is always super nice and very fast. Great portions! The pho comes with a little container with basil, bean sprouts, a few jalapeño slices, a lime, sriracha packet, and hoisin packet, as well as chopsticks and a spoon. I crave this pho often, the depth of flavor of the broth is unmatched!! I love the vibe of North Market too, so always a perk when I can go there! If you eat in, just be sure to take your pho bowl back downstairs, so the staff doesn't have to go searching for it. Definitely recommend!!! read more

The North Market is my go-to to meet with friends or a quick bite when no one can decide where to go. There's something for everyone here! I have hesitated to try Lạnh Viet for awhile now, since I was born and raised in a Vietnamese household and was spoiled with delicious home cooked meals my whole life. Pho is something that I have missed when moving to Columbus. Walking by, you can smell the aroma of the Pho broth, that's a green flag. But, you can also see other people who are not Asian working.. which can raise an eyebrow. Their broth did not taste traditional, and was not as strong as their aromas. You really missed that star anaise and cinnamon in the broth and no charred onion was found. I wish there were combo meat options, opposed to just 1 meat at a time. I'm sure there's an add-on but for the price already, I would expect more than 2 meatballs cut in half. For the north market, the portion was fine, the pho came with veggies and your typical hoisin/sriracha. Definitely ask for extra! Meals were packaged neatly. Will want to try their bánh mì next, but will stay away from their pho for now. read more

The best food and first class customer service by Leo. The guy is a legend. He is phenomenal. Even for door dashers he is always hustling and has orders ready on time. LEO the GOAT! read more

I enjoyed my meal from Lan Viet! If you're craving something on the healthier side I think the rice and noodle bowl is a great option. I tend to prefer things with a lot of flavor and spice, and thought this could have used a bit more seasoning/flavor, but I also am newer to Vietnamese food so I'm sure there are other items or sauces on the menu I could have added to get more flavor. The service was fast and the food tasted fresh, I'll be back to try different items! And will still get the rice and noodle bowl if I'm craving something lighter. read more

Lan Viet Market - Chicken and shrimp rice and noodle bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I love pho & hands down this is the best in Columbus! Both North Market and Bridge Park locations are delicious!

I don't know if other people are like me, but I'm super picky with my pho. The standard for me is the one from my hometown where I go everything I'm back home. The broth needs to bring a certain level of flavor to the dish (but not too much), the noodles have to be cooked just right, and it needs to come with the right accoutrements (e.g. jalapeños, sprouts). The one I got at Lan Viet comes close, which makes me super happy. It's not perfect (I prefer dark meat in my Chicken Pho, and that's not an option here), but they're nearly spot on for most of the key dimensions. I'm so happy to be a 15 min walk from this place and to have tried this bowl, and I'll be back soon for more. read more

5/17: Tofu pho, very flavorful savory broth, tofu seasoned very well melted into soup, good veg, lime leaf

Ordered on a Tuesday night through Uber Eats. I got the pork bahn mi, pork rice noodle bowl, shrimp rice noodle bowl and a summer roll. I thought this might be way too much food for two people but it was actually perfect. The bahn mi is more of an appetizer size so it was perfect to split. The summer roll came with a delicious peanut butter sauce. Wish the order came with a second roll so I could have soaked up more of that sauce. We ended up putting it on other stuff! The entrees all had great toppings...very fresh, plenty of cilantro (my fave), and the jalapeños were fiery. The proteins were all flavorful and nicely seasoned. I did prefer the shrimp over the pork just bc there were some tougher pieces in the pork, whereas the shrimp were all consistently perfect. I love that the bowls come with both rice and noodles. I would definitely eat here again. Hope to eat it in person some time at either of the locations! read more

Popped in for some quick cafeteria style pho. It was as expected. Fast, hot, but not the most flavorful. Nothing to complain about, but also nothing to rave about. It hit the spot. There is seating upstairs. And if you get here and decide that this isn't sounding all that appealing there are tons of other different places to choose from. read more

The pho here is to die for. I've never had it and was worried about liking it. All the ingredients taste fresh and the broth is fantastic. The summer roll with the peanut butter sauce was killer. Will definitely come back!! read more

Lan Viet Market - Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

As a Vietnamese person myself that has been eating Vietnamese food for a majority of my life, Lan Viet would probably fall last on my Vietnamese restaurants to eat at. I only went here because a friend wanted to try. I have gotten the summer rolls, banh mi, and a pho. The summer rolls are probably the most decent dish on the menu and the peanut sauce is pretty good. You mix it with some sriracha and you got a bomb appetizer. The pho is not my favorite. It could use a lot more flavoring and "oomph." The price for a bowl is pretty steep considering it's not a full service restaurant. You can go to another Vietnamese restaurant for a cheaper price and full service. Now I understand they are in North Market so maybe the cost of operations is higher. The banh mi was extremely disappointing for me. The baguette was soggy. A crunchy baguette is what makes a banh mi so good. The banh mi was really greasy too. There was not enough pickled vegetables and cucumbers in their to cut through the greasiness and fattiness of the meat. The seasoning and flavor was ok. You can taste some soy sauce in there. If the baguette was crunchy I would definitely enjoy it more. I think the staff there is nice, but I have never really had an authentic conversation with them. read more

This is seriously one of my favorite spots around Columbus to get pho! I always have a pleasant experience when I visit Lan Viet. The staff are so informative and welcoming, and have helped me learn about the menu and even a little about their process of making pho - they spend DAYS preparing this amazing dish! Their pho is a little sweeter than some others around town, making it unique and one of my favorites. I love to get the beef pho, with extra limes and extra sriracha too! But don't get me wrong, their broth is amazing on its own, I just love lime and spicy so I add these to mine. Be sure to try the dish as-designed before adding though, they were super thoughtful with their flavors so you definitely have to enjoy some of the broth all on it's own before going with your personal preference. The noodles in their soup are your classic rice noodles - soft and easily slurpable, just like they should be! I can't say enough good things about lan Viet, go and try it for yourself!! read more

This is located inside a market so there is only 3 bar seating there. There is seating upstairs in the market and a few tables scattered downstairs to sit at. We ordered 2 pho bowls with extra meat ($12+2) , 2 traditional Banh mi's ($8) and a spring roll ($2.50) total was $47. The service wasn't bad but it was good either. The person taking the order was very short with everyone, I guess since it's mostly a take out place. We asked if they had a knife to cut the Banh mi in half and they didn't have plastic knifes but wouldn't cut the banh mi in the back for us. They were also a little stingy with the amount of hosin and sriracha they gave out. We did eat there at the bar. The Banh mi had a good about of meat but barely any cilantro and pickled daikon/carrot. The pho was ok but if I was going to pay $2 extra for meatballs I would more then 2 cut in half. Also they had buckets of pho broth just sitting out in front of the bar area with no lid. That made me nervous how many things could have fallen in our someone coughing if they were dining there. If your looking or actually service when eating pho don't come here. It's a pick up place and they treat it that way. read more

I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food, but I usually walk right by Lan Viet Market because pho is my go-to and they don't have a vegetarian option. Not a big deal, most places don't, it's hard to come by (it's all about the broth). However, I was strolling by the other day and noticed they have a vegetarian banh mi sandwich. I was a little hesitant after learning that the "protein" portion of the sandwich isn't tofu, but I went with it anyways. I was told it includes eggs, just an FYI. The staff was friendly and super fast at preparing my order. I only waited a few minutes, which gave me just enough time to explore their menu further. I took my sandwich home and dove right in. First, I loved the bread they used. Also, their soy-mayo sauce in combination with the carrot, cucumber, and diakon crunch was great. I highly recommend getting it with jalapeno. Ahhh, and the fresh cilantro was a great touch too. The veggie soy ham was not my favorite. I'm a big texture person and I think that's what it came down to. That being said, I'll definitely be back. Being that I eat fish from time to time, I would gladly grab up a summer roll or a noodle bowl with shrimp. read more

Was walking around the North Market and decide to give this place a try. I got the Special combo pho with sliced beef and meatballs, along with the summer rolls. The packaging is very clean and the condiments are nicely packed along the side. The broth is slightly lean to the bland side and wish it has a bit more flavor to support the noodles. But the sliced beef is extremely tender and the meatballs fill with some tendon. read more

Located inside North Market. Good pork bun (rice vermicelli bowl). Fish sauce is a little spicy versus sweet, what I'm used to. The crispy spring rolls aren't my favorite. Fast. Decent price. Fun location inside North Market. read more

This place is still alright, but the banh mi's used to be a lot better. They must have changed the bread and process over the past few years. The bread used to be hot and toasted with a crisp bite on the outside. Now the bread is soggy in parts," and where it isn't soggy, it's cool and chewy and not that warm and crispy french loaf I had come to expect from going here many years before covid. I'll probably still stop by from time to time while working downtown, but the taste, price, and value isn't what it used to be. read more

Lan Viet Market - Grilled Pork Rice and Noodle Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

During my first visit to the North Market, I was craving a bahn mi sandwich and stumbled upon Lan Viet Market. While I was accustomed to the thinner pickled vegetables and thinly sliced cold cuts of the bahn mi's I used to have when I lived in Toronto, this was the opposite of that - thicker cut meats and veggies. I also found that the pickled vegetables at Lan Viet were a little too strong for my taste. However, the bread was fresh and crispy, with a great texture that complemented the filling nicely. Additionally, the staff at Lan Viet were friendly and helpful in recommending other dishes to try. Overall, I still enjoyed my meal and would recommend Lan Viet to anyone looking for a delicious bahn mi in the North Market area. read more

Pho is always the best. You have to sit at the counter now for a ceramic (is it though?) bowl. The Pho is just as tasty but adding more disposable plastic to my lunch is not cool.
