So, parking is easy. They share parking with other businesses so it's not hard to find. It is a little small place. Staff was nice and greeted me but didn't get much from it until I was ready to check out. Didn't ask me how am I doing or if I needed anything so I didn't ask. The dish itself, I've had so much better but what else can you do when there is limited options in the area. The noodles are supposed to be udon noodle style but these ones are thin rice noodles. The broth was okay. Felt like the meat was very thin and not a lot of it. I probably wouldn't come back but sometimes when your craving hits, gotta go somewhere. I ate and left. Didn't stay long. read more

Pho NC Cafe - Bun Bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Our service was amazing. It's cute inside and smells amazing. Our pho was good as well, definitely my go to pho place!

I don't remember what I ordered, but I know it was some kind of chicken with rice and vegetables and it was good! Not only that, but they give you a good portion. Well, they give you a good portion for a Vietnamese meal, but the prices are a little high if you're seeking value. Nevertheless, I recommend it. Very tasty. Staff is also friendly. read more

My MIL and I are not from the area and as it was a rainy, gloomy, Monday afternoon, we found this to be the closest pho place that was opened. We should've known it was a sign when we walked in to see all the tables to be empty, but we were craving pho and decided to stay and ordered anyways. We ordered 2 bowls of BBH, cha gio (egg rolls) and a coconut smoothie with boba. The soup came out in about 15 minutes, followed by my smoothie 5 minutes later, then my egg rolls 5 minutes after that (I had actually forgotten I ordered egg rolls since service was a bit slow). At first glance the BBH looked presentable, came with the fixings, and I was so excited to dig in until I stuck my chopsticks into the bowl and noticed that I could finish the whole thing in probably 5 bites. The portions were SMALL (maybe 5 tiny pieces of meat) so that was a little disappointing, but the flavor was actually enjoyable! (Had to add a little extra sriracha since I like my soups spicy!) You could tell the boba in my smoothie was old, but the flavor of the smoothie itself was fine. The egg rolls were fine too, mediocre. Then we ordered another BBH, (4) banh mi sandwiches (combination of chicken, pork, and cold cut) and pad Thai to go for the rest of the family. They were not impressed. The banh mi lacked flavor and authenticity. The meat was not prepared well and it didn't have a lot of the ingredients that an authentic banh mi would have. The pad Thai was pretty much inedible as it was just a clump of mushy rice noodles tossed in a very sweet peanut sauce. It was just disappointing. I don't remember the price of each item , but I do remember that the BBH and other pho noodles were $14.99 each, which I find to be a lot for the portion you're getting. We paid about $130 for everything. Including tip. If we were back in the area, I would like to try somewhere else to get more of an authentic experience. Also, no one else came in the whole time we were there. read more

Perfect for a quick lunch. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were fresh. Will definitely return read more

We have actually ate here quite a bit but only carryout due to the pandemic. We decided to dine in and the experience was even better. It seems to be a family ran business and they take pride in their food! It's a small humble business - clean and all the staff if welcoming and helpful with any questions. We both ordered the veggie Pho and added shrimp - it's a generous portion with the medium bowl and oh so good! Lots of flavor lots of veggies and on the table are Hoison sauce and hot sauce! We always get an order of spring rolls - filled with fresh crispy veggies and a couple of shrimp and that yummy peanut sauce! Next time we plan to try their Bahn Mi sandwich as it looked good as well. Ample parking - clean bathrooms and it's right next to Waterbean coffee! read more

We called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes! There could be more meat in the pho but the takeaway included all the fixings (including the sauce). The egg rolls were skinny but very tasty & crispy. The bahn mi was good but again could have more meat filling. The chicken and rice was disappointing, we thought it would be a piece of chicken breast/thigh but it was stir fried chicken pieces. Flavor was OK. Parking available in the plaza. Indoor dining available. read more

Pho didn't have much flavor. It took over 30 minutes to get two bowls of pho. That was an excessive amount of time. Service was slow. Never offered drinks. read more

We were in the area and decided to check this place out for some pho. We thought about ordering ahead of time, and really wished we had. When my family walked in, the gentleman up front looked a little shocked and slightly uncomfortable that I had small children with me. He stared and said nothing until finally asking if we were dining in or out, and then gestured toward a table to sit. Many of the items we read in store were not included in the menu online, which was a relief because I really wanted a chicken pho and pork banh mi, and those weren't listed online. They didn't offer a side of fried rice but he said he could make one for us without meat, and in the end he brought out a full chicken fried rice plate. Oh well. While we waited for our food, a few people came by for pick up orders and the staff seemed pretty overwhelmed. Meanwhile, I wandered around the small restaurant to find some high chairs for my children, and finally found some stored in the back by the back door. The man up front watched as I carried the high chairs and struggled to move chairs around to make them fit at our table. Our dishes were brought out one by one and everything looked good. We had to ask for more utensils and other items, including small bowls for our children, since everything was one size. Overall, everything was good. Just good. All of the food had nice blends of flavors, but the flavors were very mild. The banh mi baguette, however, was very nicely toasted. I think I was most impressed with that, haha! It gave a delicate crunch when bitten into without scraping your palette. Crunch and then soft. It was lovely. The service was nice, and after a few minutes of asking for things for our table, it looked as though the man was beginning to understand he may have been a little lax on our needs previously. I think that after opening (or reopening as some other yelpers say), they have to readjust to the hustle and bustle of the food industry. We ordered boba smoothies before we left (always a plus when a restaurant offers boba!), and I appreciated that throughout our entire ordering process we were asked many times what our order was , I liked that they preferred to make sure they got the order right. At the end, the bill was double the price of our usual spot, which was kind of a surprise. Nice little spot, but I can't say it's become a favorite. read more

Cockroach in my glass. Thankfully saw it before I put my lips to it. You may need to zoom into the photo but its little legs were wriggling as I took this photo. The pho broth was good if maybe a little basic. My waiter didn't seem to speak English well or just wasn't listening. Asked for pho rare beef and add brisket but just got extra rare beef. I won't be returning on account of a roach being served to me. read more

Feels nuts that this place has been around for a while and I'm just now figuring it out given my love of Banh Mi sandwiches, Bun and other foods from this part of Asia. Haven't tried the Pho yet but here's the run down of the Banh Mi's. Tried both the cold cut and lemongrass grilled pork versions and enjoyed both. A couple pieces of the pork were a little gristly but the majority was just fine. The bread was good and I loved the large about of fresh jalapeno they included. It's easy to remove if you don't want that much but hard to add if it ain't there. I like heat so was a happy guy. All the toppings were tasty and fresh. We also tried the egg rolls that have taro, carrots, pork. They were deep fried deliciousness with a good dipping sauce. Online ordering was easy, food was ready on time and I appreciated their dedication to following COVID-19 protocols on masking and social distancing. read more

The pho here is excellent. I got the veggie pho and it was packed full of various veggies and noodles in a delicious broth. The portions are big and the medium size was plenty for me. I still had so many noodles left that I couldn't finish. They are seating every other table currently to take covid precautions. read more

I don't normally give a new restaurant 5 stars for an initial visit but one visit was all it took to win me over as a customer. I was introduced to Pho by my youngest son Brian because he and his wife Jill are fans the cuisine and have several close friends in Marietta GA who are Vietnamese. Several years ago I got a call from him and asked where he was and he said that he and his wife Jill were in Da Nang. Prior to the arrival of the Grandkids, they traveled extensively and you had no idea where the calls would be from. In any case, he introduced me to Pho and I loved the rich bone broth and the marriage of all of the ingredients. Unfortunately my wife does not have my like for different cuisines so if it's not found in Western PA, I'm pretty much on my own. This place opened about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it's really off the beaten path even though the back of the building is visible off of Jetton Road. Best description would be it's across the parking lot from CVS. I went up after Church today solo. I misread the opening times for Sunday and thought it said 11am when it is actually Noon till 7pm. Since I got there about 11:40, I went ahead and left and filled up my car with gas and got back right at noon. Opened door and walked in just after noon and was greeted warmly by one of the servers who immediately seated me and gave me a menu. She kind of reminds me or the prototype Jewish Mother and I mean that is a complimentary fashion. She fussed all over me and the others who came in after I did and she is the reason for the 5 stars I started with a cup of Hot Jasmine Tea and was asked if I wanted that with Lemon or Honey. Asked for just a bit of Lemon. Even though the menu if confined to he front and back of a single page, the menu is quite extensive and it's going to take a number of visits to work my way through it. I ordered the Pho Special which is the #10. Apparently you order by number because we murder the pronunciation of these menu items so badly. No problem with that because it leads to correct orders and no confusion. There have been some humorous diners where I tried to order the French, Spanish or Italian and ended up with something a bit different from what I thought I was ordering. The Pho Special is a Hot Steaming Bowl of Bone Broth with Rice Noodles, Meatballs, tendon and thinly sliced Beef. Before it is served, the bring out a plate of Bean Sprouts, Thai Basil, Lemon and Jalapeno Peppers although they looked more like Serrano Peppers. No problem I like both. These are for garnish and customizing your Pho by adding herbs, additional protein, a bit of Citrus note or more heat to the dish. It was a full rich meal with great taste and texture. A picture is posted showing the more than ample serving size with was more than I could eat in one sitting. The Manager and I guess the owner came by several time to check on me as well as my original server. I complimented him on the Pho and he said his secret was that Bone Broth was cooked overnight every night and is fresh every day and not made from Food Service Stock. From the rich taste, you could tell that a lot of love and pride went into the dishes offered to the public. Wil definitely be back in the near future. It's a bit hidden but this Gem is well worth the hunt to find real Vietnamese Cuisine. read more

Pork was so tough it was no good. No egg rolls that day and soup was kind of bland. Definitely needs to step up the game when it comes to pho. I wanted a good pork dish and I felt like I was chewing on a tire. read more

This place served up my least favorite pad thai dish i have ever had in my life. Its essentially peanut butter pasted throughout poorly cooked thai noodles. Its dry, chalky, and non editable. We also ordered chicken fried rice that looked nothing like their google photos and is also not good. I called to ask if they in fact just smear peanut butter through the pad thai bc I thought something was wrong with my order but the employee said thats what they do. I have thrown out the pad thai and am suffering through the rice - read more

ROACH IN FOOD! I ordered a meal from them today and found a roach in my meal. DO NOT GET FOOD FROM THEM!!!!!!!

What a great spot that appears to be a hole in the wall in a strip mall but actually features some really delicious food! They practice social distancing and follow all protocols to keep us safe. They also do a bang-up take out business! On our visit, we had great service. Our food was good too. The pho had such a rich broth, and the noodles and beef were yummy too. My daughter had the pad thai and she liked it, but it was very peanut-sesame forward, so not my favorite flavors. The spring rolls were fine, but I didn't care for the amount of mint in them, or the peanut sauce served with them. I honestly ordered the fried rolls, but didn't feel like correcting them. I would not get those again. All in all, a solid pho place and one I've missed since Ramen Soul closed in Mooresville. Give them a try. read more

A small charming restaurant off the main road. Dined in around 1130 and the place got crowded in no time. Take out orders added to the traffic. The food was very tasty.

It's nice that this place is open again. I use to really like it. Unfortunately, my visit last week was disappointing. I got pho and egg rolls. The egg rolls were good, but the pho broth was not as tasty as it use to be. It seemed a little watered down. I hope this was a one off, otherwise there are better options. They also increased their prices since reopening. I'll give it a second chance. read more

The food here is so delicious, and the service is also really friendly! The pho was the BEST and the bánh mì here is the perfect amount of crispy. They recently reopened so I would recommend coming to check it out! read more

This place has been good everytime I come in person. I don't like to order this place for delivery from the apps because it takes them forever to pick it up and it sits for a pretty long time. But eating in person here or for pick up I cannot complain. I do wish they gave you a little more noodles and meat for the price but is what it is I guess. I would give five stars if portions were more reasonable read more

New Vietnamese restaurant opened only a couple weeks ago and let me tell you it's 100% worth a try. Like all new returns it has it frowning pains here and there but over all, well you'll have to read on. We tried the Bun Bo Hue, Cha Gio, Com Thit Nuong and black milk tea with no boba. Starting with the tea it was really good and they make it blended which is nice, it could have used a littler sweetener in my opinion. The Bun Bo Hue was 5 star worthy and that's coming from my date who is Hue. Cha gio was good and they let me try it with a couple different sauces not just nuoc mam. I'll also add it was cooked very well not burnt but perfectly crisp. The Com Thit Nuong was plenty of food and also cooked very well, my only side note on it is I wish I had more of a grilled flavor and a fried egg would have been amazing on top of my rice. The wait staff is still a little green but they are super nice and the owner is extremely sweet. We will for sure be back and I hope to see you there. Also very few places in the area off Bun Bo Hue if you've never had it, this is a great place to try it for your first time! read more

I'm a huge Pho fan, so I was excited to see another Vietnamese restaurant open up in Cornelius. I stopped in on the weekend to get some takeout, and tried the beef and seafood pho. The broth of the pho was super flavorful. It was super fragrant and the noodles were plentiful. I ordered a large (~$10), but you can get a medium size if you're not as hungry. The quality of the meats was also quite good. I was impressed to see scallops in my seafood pho in addition to the shrimp. The food was overall really good, but still not my absolute favorite pho in the area. I really would have loved to see a tofu pho option. The restaurant is clean and bright. There are mostly booths, but they have a few tables that they can push together to accommodate a larger group. The staff was overall friendly and nice, so I'll have to make sure I come back. read more

I love this Pho place & the staff are always so friendly! I always get a Mango Boba! I get the Seafood Pho & the spring rolls. Sometimes I get 2 orders of Spring Rolls.

Great Pho! I ordered the basic one with beef and it was outstanding. Seating is limited and the atmosphere was lacking music or noise. Eerily quiet so all kitchen sounds and voices were apparent and other customers whispering. Summer rolls were really good. Decor is kinda mismatched, and although they serve alcohol the ambience is better suited for lunch. Overall good. read more

Tiny, unassuming place with great food. I have brought multiple family members here, and all have enjoyed it. The 9 year old was especially enamored of the Blueberry Boba Tea. The pho has gotten rave reviews from family members. I cannot get enough of the BBQ por banh mi. Delicious! And the spring rolls are also a favorite, very fresh with peanut sauce so good I could almost drink the stuff. Even better, the prices are very reasonable.
