Easily the best Vietnamese in town. Love the pho, but really, everything is good and prices are fair. Often crowded.

Love this place! Great food, friendly/ helpful staff, very affordable and byob means that you always have the perfect pairing with your meal! The panang curry and vegetarian pho are my personal favorites. I have never had a bad meal at pho hong, and I've tried a lot of different entrees. It can be crowded at times, but it's worth the wait. Highly recommended. read more

Really solid Vietnamese for a good price. I ordered a Bun bowl that was really fresh and really good. Happy I tried it and I could see why it was busy. But with all the choices in Burlington, I'll probably try other places to eat next time I visit. read more

So impressed by their pho.. they have amazing pho broth! I was visiting Burlington, it was raining and cold, and thought Pho would be great. It didn't disappoint--food was really great and comforting! read more

Beneath the harsh lighting and mint green walls, a merry crowd gobbles generous noodle bowls served with the freshest veggies and heaps of fresh herbs. Quintessentially ONE combination of unpretentious and hip. There's wifi from the laundro next door, if you're waiting for takeout. The only poor dish I've gotten here was the greasy and packaged-tasting Tom Yum. BYOB and sit on the street on a summer's night. Bliss out. Also it's now apparently part of bicyclebenefits.org, which is clutch (thanks for tipping us off to that, Matt). read more

Delicious! A bit better than my other standby Vietnamese place in Burlington... More menu variety.

I've eaten here several times. It's a humble, small place, not fancy, but very friendly. The food has been consistently good. BYOB. The people who work the front of the house are great. Makes a great cheap date on the way to a show, but it is a much less rushed experience if you go when it isn't so busy. If you see the line going out the door, don't expect to be seated right away. Once seated, the food comes quickly. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Lemongrass chicken with eggroll every time.

I love Pho Hong! It is my go-to Asian restaurant. The dishes are so flavorful, price isn't bad, and everyone is very friendly! I would definitely recommend #1, #25, and #12. read more

The food is great. The owners and most of the staff are nice. However, I'm not sure why they hire dumb white boys in their early 20's who can't seem to communicate or get your order right. To their credit, I haven't seen these guys the last few times I've been in. Maybe they got rid of them. This is a good place for vegetarians and vegans, plus they have brown rice. I recommend the Spicy Szechwan Eggplant and spring rolls. read more

We ended up here late one night, after trying about three other places first, while on a mission to find a Vietnamese spot in Burlington on a ski trip. It was the lesser of two evils after we walked out of some strip mall Vietnamese / Chinese combo joint. My fiance is Vietnamese and very skeptical of these Viet fusion type places. This place is definitely not easily accessible. Its tucked back in a maze of side streets in what appears to be the hood of Burlington. (They got hoods in Vermont, who knew?!) The owners are Vietnamese, but they had two white guys waiting tables and taking orders at the counter. I thought this was kind of amusing. We just had Pho, which was good, nothing remarkable, but I'll give it three stars for being there when we needed a fix. read more

The food was really great and came out quickly. The mango milkshakes are out of this world!

Definitely the best Vietnamese around. I always go for the #19 with rice noodles and tofu, but you really can't go wrong. Gets busy on weekends, but take out is always a good option! read more

Best pho I've had. Waiters are busy. Service could use a tune up. But great food will bring me back

Pho Hong is without a doubt the best combination of good food, fun atmosphere, and great value in Burlington. I've tried a new thing on every visit and never left disappointed. If you're young and looking for a good place to start a full night out, they're perfect. You can bring your own beer or wine, which combined with the already cheap food prices, makes for an excellent experience for those of us on a budget. I highly recommend this place to everyone, even if going for value isn't your main concern. read more

What a find! Visiting for the weekend and I ate there twice. Between the two visits I had fried tofu, panag curry, and pho ga. Everything was amazing...and cheap! If you're looking for a break from the "head to tale" fare from everywhere else I recommend checking this place out. read more

Best beef pho I have ever had, hands down! The broth was absolutely delish! I also had some spring rolls that were awesome as well. Totally worth it if you are in the area. Will definitely be coming back next time I am in VT- especially since it will be winter, and that soup with be the perfect fix! read more

Great Thai food, reasonably priced. Friendly service. Usually there is a wait, but we've never waited more than 20 minutes. BYOB, which is great. The only dish I haven't loved is the "crepe" but my husband had a pint when he said I shouldn't have ordered as crepe at a Thai place! read more

Only place out in Vermont that I've found that has Bo luc loc, and yes it is awesome. I also had the Pho and spring rolls and nothing has disappointed yet. Now I know why this place is always packed, the food here is on point, the servers are very upbeat and cordial and the atmosphere is very homely. read more

Delicious is an understatement. My favorites are the assorted meat pho, spicy duck, goi cuon, eggplant. Come to think of it, everything I have had there is faaakin amazing. read more

The food is B- level. An overrated restaurant in a city that underwhelms the public with its Asian food. The service is awful. There is one kid taking orders, busing tables, answering the phone, seating customers, and cashing people out. They never smile or say thank you. It can take a while to even be acknowledged by the staff. I waited nearly five minutes before being told that somebody would be "right with" me. I then waited over a half hour for a table. On subsequent visits, I have have walked out of the restaurant because of the poor service. The parking situation outside can be difficult. It is not in a very nice area. This restaurant seems to attract the very worst of the Burlington crowd. I still cannot comprehend why people in Vermont will line up and wait for mediocre food in this establishment. read more

Excellent! Great flavor. Tastes fresh. We've gone so many times planning to order new things, but the vermicelli bowls and pho are too good not to enjoy. Sit inside or outside in nice weather. Service is very friendly and laid back. read more

Vietnamese is some of my favorite food but not my husbands. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. It was my birthday so he went along with the plan. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to try and settled on the crepe. It was light and fresh tasting and I loved it. My husband had the stir fried eggplant. He looked at me and said "OMG I'd come here again" I highly recommend this place. Casual atmosphere, read more

Was told that a table would be ready within 25 mins, 1 hour later we again asked about a table and was told people were almost done and we would be seated. The table they referenced was still in the middle of their meals. We waited long enough to watch people ahead of us get seated, eat, pay and leave. Gets 2 stars because the food was good, but if you're in any sort of time crunch or just want to eat within the day you came to this restaurant I'd head somewhere else. read more

Literally the best restaurant in Vermont. I cry from joy just thinking about their delicious food. I low key have an addiction to this place and cannot go more than 7 days without it. Pho Hong is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. If I could afford to eat there every day of the week I would. read more

It looks unassuming, but don't let that fool you. One of the best places to eat in Burlington. Get the spicy eggplant! It's not super spicy, and it's ridiculously good. read more

food was phenomenal! had to wait a tad but totally worth it. will definitely come back

Awesome service and atmosphere. You can see the family cooking in the back and their connection to the food shows when it arrives at the table. Its a good Pho shoppe for this area and probably one of the best Asian restaurants in the area. Nothing compares to the pho shoppes you find in bigger cities, but HEY! we take what we can get. Go Here! read more

Went for lunch and found the food to be good, but nothing extraordinary. The real lowlight was the service. The front was run by two casually dressed college age students who constantly texted while doing nothing below the bare minimum. Not only did I have to hunt down my own menus and napkins, but we were not offered any refills, and had to go up front to get the check. There are other Vietnamese restaurants in the area that offer the same quality of food with much better service. read more

This place is very much a family favorite! Whenever the siblings are in Vermont for a visit we make sure to go here with our parents. I live in Minnesota, where Vietnamese food is extremely authentic and plentiful, and the food here lives up to that standard. Spring Rolls are great, as is the Pho. However, their real specialty is Vermicelli Salad. Get any of those and you will not be disappointed! My only complaint is that the food can come out of the kitchen at variable times within a party, but that doesn't detract from its taste. Besides, docking points for such things seems a bit entitled when delicious food is this affordable. Additionally, this part of Burlington is very cool, and there's an interesting bike shop across the street and a great coffee shop a few blocks south! read more

Best cheap food I've ever had. Fairly simple and solid. I'm not sure if it is, but it seEms healthier than most restaurant food. Eating in is better than take-out. read more

Best Vietnamese food on the planet. I'd eat it everyday for the rest of my life if that were possible....I will try. Yum

I thought that the Pho here was good, and the price was really reasonable. That being said, the amount of 5 star reviews for this place is pretty surprising. I thought the service was nothing special, and the atmosphere itself wasn't great. I wouldn't go back here unless I was in the area and really really needed a Pho fix. read more

Had to see what this pho place was all about since family members suggested I try it. They told me it was close to eating in a pho restaurant in Los Angeles, so I decided to go with my friends. It took less than a minute for my friends and I to be seated. After, the friendly waitress came up to us and asked what we would like. I ordered the #17, a com suon tok nuong with an avocado milkshake w/ less sugar. The waitress arrived with our drinks first and when I said less sugar, she made it with less sugar and I enjoyed every bit of that drink! Onto the my meal, good sunny-side egg and decent amount of rice (the rice was a bit too much), one shrimp (yes one, I mean they could have at least put 2 in there but nope got only one) and the two pork chops. I ate my sunny-side and shrimp, but when I moved onto the pork chops, something big was noticeable: oil pooled up inside the pork chops. I was a bit disgusted but hey it's still food right? When I lifted the pork chop up a little to let the oil go on the plate, a whole bunch came out but I just ignored it. After I sliced and took a bite of the pork chop, about 30 seconds later, I had a feeling of throwing up. At this point, I don't want anything to do with that pork chop. After a few minutes, I wanted to try it again because I could have ate something that might've triggered that reaction, but when I ate another piece, my stomach almost immediately did not accept it. At this point, I knew it was the pork chop. Maybe, just maybe, the only negative was this dish. If I were to come back again, I would most definitly not order that. Either way, other parts was good: waitress was very friendly, clean restaurant, cups for tea were broken..., service was moderate. read more

Amazing. Great food for a great value. Family owned and operated. Pho Hong is always in the dining rotation.

Great escape for some authentic Asian food in Burlington, VT. This place is always a hit and provides consistently incredible dishes. Whether you're in the mood for some pho or curry(I suggest #26 on the menu) you can be assured you are going to get something fresh and flavorful. This place tends to get crowded on the weekends and doesn't take reservations so I suggest getting their before the crowd, around 5 PM, or after the crowd, 9 PM. Not in the mood to wait, don't you worry their take away is just as amazing! Another plus about this place, BYOB. read more

My wife and I visited Pho Hong while staying in the area for our honeymoon. We have had pho and other Vietnamese delicacies at dozens of restaurants across the country and in Vietnam itself. The food here is on point. Decidedly delicious and indisputably authentic. The Ban Xao (pancake) was incredible and the Bun Bo rice noodles were legit! The only downside to this mom and pop restaurant is that it's popular and, therefore, you wait a while for your food. But, the place is BYOB which more than makes up for the wait ;-) read more

Always good food and good service we will always come back here. I love the tiger rolls and curry

If you actually are able to get the food, this place is great. I am incredibly unhappy with the fact that calling for takeout involves them picking up the phone, setting it on the counter, and a few minutes later hanging up on you. Without ever saying anything to you. That's really crappy service, folks. It happened to me twice tonight. I gave up. read more

Having been to most of the Vietnamese restaurants in the area, I have to say this is my favorite. There is no one thing that is outstanding about this, except that they do everything very well. Fresh ingredients, fairly quick service (when there's not a line), and reasonable prices. Also, take a look through the serving window into the kitchen. It's really clean, which puts my germaphobe concerns at bay. read more
