    Vegetarian Pho Noodle Soup
    sruthi p.

    Whenever I crave for soups this is my goto place It has the best pho in town ! I got vegetarian pho noddles it was the best I had takeout but they gave me all the veggies and sauces too !

    This place has become our go-to spot and for good reason. Every Thursday my coworker and I come in for the beef stew lunch special, and my partner and I make it a weekly tradition for pho. When a restaurant earns a spot in your regular routine, that says everything. It's a casual, no-frills place but the service is consistently good, the food is always solid, and the prices are very reasonable. The pho is comforting and reliable every single time. Exactly what you want from a neighborhood spot. Highly recommend!

    There was a line at about 4:50 waiting for them to open at 5 so clearly this is a popular place. Food came out fast and everything was fresh and tasty.

    Vegetarian Pho Noodle Soup

    Pho Hien Vuong had some of the best pho I've eaten, at by far the cheapest price point. Though I'm not truly a vegetarian, I am fairly "meat-averse" at times, and if I eat meat or meat products, I prefer for it to not taste "too meaty." Not really a fair standard, I know, but it's what I prefer. So, for something like pho, with such a rich, meaty broth, and often chock full of meat, I struggle to enjoy it at times, despite my love of spicy, savory foods. This is all to say, I was thrilled to find that Pho Hien Vuong not only has a vegetable option (which most places do), but several combinations of just vegetables or with tofu, in either beef broth or a vegetable broth. I don't see that too often. I went the truly vegetarian route, with tofu and their made-in-house vegetable broth. The broth, despite its distinct lack of meat, was rich, flavorful, and deep. There were an abundance of toppings, and in addition to the included tofu and vegetables, I added jalapeño, bean sprouts, basil, lime, chili crisp, and sriracha. It was a fantastic meal, and while I could not come close to finishing the absolutely massive serving, I enjoyed every bite I did eat. Our server was quick and attentive, despite the restaurant being jam packed with a line out the door (a testament to its popularity, and by extension, its quality and value!). Tables were large enough to spread out on, everything was clean, and the volume level wasn't too bad even with that many people. I see many more visits to Pho Hien Vuong in my future.

    This place is a staple of Vietnamese food in the GSO area. I have been coming here for more than ten years and the quality has not decreased, even post-pandemic. I almost always get pho or curry but their vermicelli here is also great. Service is extremely friendly and attentive; and the ambiance is usually very busy and bustling but not overwhelming. There are other Vietnamese restaurants with more "authentic" menu selections but for a good bowl of soup or just a tasty Vietnamese meal in general, this place will not steer you wrong!

    It's been so long since I've been here (definitely pre-COVID), but the bigger space was a nice surprise! It meant for quicker seating even during a dinner rush. The food was delicious and the entrees were large portion sizes (aka leftovers, yay!) - the chicken wings were juicy inside and crispy outside. Not everyone in our party could handle spice, so chicken wings with no sauce was our choice. So so good, so I am curious about the sauces now!

    I really like this place. The chicken Phó is amazing. The broth is so tasty. The noodles have a great consistency, never mushy or hard. The veggies, chicken, all cook right. The staff are friendly and there were many of them but it did feel a bit cold. The restaurant is decorated nicely and even being very busy it was clean. This one is all about the Phó!

    This was my first experience here and omg i will be back. I had the seafood pho and a fresh spring roll . The pho was literally a warm hug in a bowl, like if I were sick I'd want a giant bowl od this. My only complaint was that due to how hot the broth was it continued to cook the squid which unfortunately made it very chewy. Other than that the remainder of the seafood was great. The spring roll was absolutely delicious especially with the peanut sauce and a hit of Sriracha. I cant wait to go back. If it weren't for the overcooked squid this would have been a 5 star

    I walked in at exactly 11:01 am to beat the crowd. I've heard this place can get pretty crowded. First thing I noticed is all of the employees were sitting down eating their own food which is always a gd sign lol. Next, the establishment looked spotless and smelled very clean. Decided to introduce my mom to this place as the food is so good. We got ours to go. Food items we chose: shrimp spring rolls, beef drunken noodles, chicken basil lunch soecial with white rice and a spring roll. Food was very very fresh, hot, Flavorful. Excellent and nice customer service. I would totally return, but would eat inside next time around.

    Vermicelli Beef

    We went for my father's birthday. We are got something new except for the Vegetarian Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut sauce that we always delicious. Its one of our favorite appetizer there. This time i got the vermicelli beef salad. It was absolutely delicious. To be honest, I think the leftovers were more delicious then when I got it at the restaurant on Sunday night. It is so why people marinated their food overnight. We were in the main room and it wasn't as loud compare to the back room.

    Pho Hien Vuong is hands down the best pho in Greensboro (near UNC). It's always crowded and busy and parking can definitely be a challenge but that's how you know it's good! The broth is rich and flavorful, the portions are generous and everything tastes and smells fresh; especially the fresh green herbs, Totally worth the wait every single time. If you love pho, this will become your go-to!

    Shrimp pad thai
    Melissa W.

    Love Pho Hien Vuong! Great spot for a quick work lunch. I have not been out here in quite a while and was tickled to see that they finally paved their back parking lot. Parking used to be quite a challenge. They stay busy during lunch but we've never had an issue getting in and out in less than a hour. They have a nice selection of daily lunch specials. My usuals are the beef with onions and green beans or the thin rice noodles with fried tofu. I also love the chicken pho but usually wait until cooler weather settles in to order that tasty vat of delicious soup. Another favorite among my friends is the shrimp pad Thai. Specials come with a fried spring roll and tangy dipping sauce (not served with the pho or veggie street noodles). The spring roll filling has a different filler than what you might expect from your usual roll. It is not my favorite in town but that has never stopped me from eating hundreds of them over the years. Service is always fast and friendly. Make sure to grab yourself a punch card so you can earn a free entree. It is never too loud in the dining room no matter how busy so you are able to carry on a conversation without yelling. I have been eating here for about 2 decades and have never been disappointed. Quick, tasty, reasonably healthy lunch, with good service.

    Met a co-worker here for lunch and even though it was really busy, we were seated fairly quickly. The service was excellent throughout. I ordered the shrimp noodle plate and it was fantastic. I noticed they had drinks on the menu too--something I'll have to try another time since this was a work lunch. Judging by the crowd and how smoothly the staff handled it, this place is definitely a hot spot. Great food and great service.

    Do all of the pho broths have cinnamon?

    I am not sure, but the varieties I have tried taste like it. Very mild, tho.

    Does anyone know if you can get pho to go?

    Most definitely! They'll pack the soup and the noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy. As well as all the veggies!

It's a small, family-owned spot, friendly, and they handled our large table without any trouble. Nice bright space. The lemongrass chicken and the basil chicken were both very good -- good flavor, and the chicken was tender in a natural way, not the thick, velveted texture you often get elsewhere. The kids got the pho: the bowls are huge, and they ate a lot of them, meat included -- which from our kids is a real endorsement. The papaya salad and the chicken banh mi were also good. We were just passing through Greensboro, but if we're back in the area, we'd happily return.

That disqualifies it from being a hole-in-the-wall, but owing to its location, it is still a hidden gem. The service remains fast and friendly and the food excellent. For this visit, I forced myself to try something other than their stellar pho and went with a fresh roll and a beef banh mi. The fresh roll, filled with shrimp, noodles, and cucumber, was crisp and paired nicely with a peanut sauce. The banh mi's baguette didn't reach Banh Mi Saigon levels, but in fairness, nothing does. It was still a tasty sandwich, offering plenty of beef and toppings (pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapenos) alike. I may not get out to this area of Greensboro very often, but when I do, Jakjin is my go-to lunch option. Do yourself a favor and make it yours as well.

I ordered a regular Bahn Mi and an iced Vietnamese coffee. The sandwich is around 12 inches and packed with what should be in a Banh Mi and nothing else, just the way it should. The bread was crusty and the meats were great flavored with a bit of heat from the toppings but not too much. The sweetness of the coffee balanced it out nicely. Good price and a great lunch.

    Delicious sandwiches. It's as simple as that…read more I was hungry when I visited, so I ordered two. My first selection was the Saigon Classic, essentially the banh mi as it was intended. And then I also chose the New Orleans, which holds all the standard veggies and the pátê but adds some srirachi-flavored pork to the mix. Prices were reasonable and so too was the prep time. Both sandwiches were flavorful and perfect choices for lunch on a reasonably hot day. There were around nine or so tables inside the restaurant, and a few of them were dirty, though staff did get them cleaned up by the time I left. And apparently the air conditioning was on the fritz, so the dining environment wasn't especially comfortable, though it was tolerable. Were it not for those issues, I'd probably go with a full five stars here. I'll definitely be back. And I wish we could get a proper banh mi like these over in Winston (where no one even seems to know what pátê is, much less that it belongs on these sandwiches), because I'd be a frequent customer.

I simply got bao buns -- seemed appropriate, plus what is better than a good pork bao bun? And these were excellent. Some of the best in-a-restaurant pork bao buns I've encountered. Interior seating and atmosphere is somewhat less than bare bones -- a few communal tables, and a few little metal high tops; it fits the small bao shop aesthetic, though it's always a little dispiriting to sit at a table that's still dirty from multiple previous meals.

Takeout seems very common here as well. 2 additional tables outside if the weather is nice. Went with a pork banh mi sandwich and fresh shrimp rolls. Everything was made to order and came out quickly. Rolls were huge! Fresh and tasty all around. Pork was tender and full of flavor, bread itself was also super fresh with a great crunch. The food alone is 5 stars, but the prices would raise the bar to 5+ stars if possible. The value you get for what you pay is amazing. Almost everything on the extensive menu is $11 or less, and many in the range of $6-$7 including my sandwich and spring rolls. When you're paying $15-$20 at many other places for the same thing, you can see the value here. Compare this to the rising costs in the fast food industry for significantly less quality food, and you can consider this a steal. Great spot for a quick lunch, takeout, or dinner with a few friends and family at a place that doesn't break the bank.
