Came here for a quick bite to eat during lunch. I just got a banh mi, and it wasn't bad! I thought it was pretty filling, and as I came here with someone, I just got something because I was pretty much full when I came in there. Interior wise, it's nice, clean, and pretty chill. I think I saw someone in the corner eating a hot pot. If you do order the Bun bo hue, I believe there are good days and bad days? I don't know, but I think if you're going to ask might as hope it's a good one right? In the end, I only ate half of my banh mi and saved the other half for later. I think this place is pretty good, as far as the banh mi, it wasn't bad, but at the same time it wasn't to die for and there are probably better places to get banh mi. If I ever get the chance to come back here I would like to try their pho. read more

The reason why I give this place a 3 star is because of the service. Everytime I go it's really slow even on a slow day. . I don't blame the waitress I blame the owners because it seems like they can't keep any workers. I always see this 1 young lady that works there and she is doing everything in the front of the house. And the cooks take forever on the food. So the food is pretty good. I unusually get the pho or Bun Bo Hue. And they both have great flavor. If you never had Bun Bo Hue than you should give it a try. The soup does a little heat to it, so if you don't like spicy food than I wouldn't get it. My husband got the shaken beef with fried rice and it was also good. I also have pickey eaters(kids) and they also like the noodles. (Kids are honest and mine's will tell you if they don't like it). read more

The food was alright. Ordered the Korean short ribs with rice, banh xeo, and the combination pho. They only had one waitress and it was pretty busy. She messed up my order twice and ended up being there for at least two hours. I understand everyone is short staffed so I wasn't upset. What upset me was the messing up of our orders and then having to wait over 30 min for our right orders to come out. The broth wasn't the best to be honest read more

This was my first trip here. We all ordered Pho and it came out fairly quick! Everyone enjoyed their meals, even though we agreed it wasn't the best Pho we ever ate. Garnish add-on plate was full, fresh and delicious. The waitress was friendly but she didn't check on us often. When we got the bills, they only had food on them and when she ran cards and returned them magically they had drinks billed and charged on those that ordered something other than ice water? Kind of odd. Seems they can't get the billing correct. Plus my total charged was even different than what the receipt said, only by a penny - but still. read more

Wasn't sure what we were going to get when we got here because there was no one there on a Sunday afternoon but my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised with how good their food tasted! Being from California, I am spoiled when it comes to food. We've been on the hunt for a decent pho place since I moved to SC last October. Finally I'm happy to have found this place but sadly it's 3 hours away. Place is clean and the price is reasonable with the portion! I've been to not very good Pho places in SC and NC where the cost is anywhere from 11 dollars to 15 dollars for a large and the bowl is the size of a kids meal. My boyfriend got the large #1 combination Pho with a side of meatballs. He absolutely loved his pho. Says it's the best he's ever had. I got the Hu Tieu and I'll be honest, I've had better in California but it was good enough for me. Boyfriend says this is his new favorite pho place and that it's a must go to place when we visit Charlotte! Staff was very nice as well. Yes, we'll be back! read more

Use to be my fav pho spot. Quality went down but prices went up. The last time I was there I just asking for the chili oil and the lady kept bringing out empty ones. She later said she was out. They made sure to get my payment right when my food came out. They left some meat out of my dish and when I brought it up, She didn't even acknowledge I said it. I'll never go back. As soon as I stood up she had the nerve to ask if I was done. I just walked out read more

I've been here a few times for pho and it's always delicious. I also love their spring rolls. The service is quick and friendly.

I had the special pho. Decent food. Service was horrible though. Took 20 minutes to order and another 10 minutes to wait for someone to come out and give me the bill. Definitely will not return. read more

At first, I thought the world was against me. I tried to go to Pho Ngon two different times and they were closed. Once was when they switched to new management and then the second time was on a Thursday. But third time was definitely the charm. I liked it so much that I have been back within a week! And soon they will be opened 7 days away so I will no longer need to make sure what day of the week it is before getting my fix. So I'm Vietnamese (which is why I'm very particular about the Vietnamese places I go to) and if you didn't know "Ngon" means good. So in short this place should "Good Pho" translated. 9/10 times though I go with someone who always wants pho. So I use this time to try other staples of Vietnamese cuisine that usually gets lost in the sauce. Combination Vermicelli noodles was great! They really load it up with egg rolls, flavorful grilled pork, a skewer of shrimp and of course all of the fresh veggies. It was a huge beautiful portion. Then moving on is a Banh Xeo, it was a mix between fluffy and crispy which is exactly how mama should make it! It is basically this yellow pancake filled with bean sprouts and grilled pork. You take the lettuce leaf and take a piece of the banh xeo with the garnishes and you roll it up and dip into the fish sauce. Then we got the combination sandwich, it had grilled pork, chicken and cuts of ham. The bread was crispy on the outside with a great meat to bread ratio, no skinny sorry sandwich here! Last but not least papaya salad, Vietnamese style. Which means it's marinated in fish sauce and is spicy with jerky on top! Definitely on the spicer side if you are not use to spicy things but not spicy compared to Thai/Laos/Cambodian style papaya salad. And to drink I got a Da Chanh, which is fresh squeezed limeade and it was wonderful! I was bummed that I wanted an avocado shake but they were out of avocados. The place was clean and the service was fine! I can't believe you are still reading and haven't gone to try this place yet! read more

While it's fresh on my mind: hostess, rude. Not a welcoming environment today. The only good thing about today's visit was that our waiter was nice and always smiling. First, two of my kids ordered boba tea smoothies and didn't get any boba in them. Second, five other patrons came in after us and received their food before us....we had two orders of pho and three were banh mi. My daughter found hair in her banh mi. They replaced it with another one. Hostess placed check on the table with out a word and then at check out not a word was spoken by her or the other guy up there. Well, you're welcome and I hope you have a great day. read more

This is the worst Pho I have ever had. I could have made something more flavorful. They got our order wrong and gave my husband chicken stir fry when he order lemongrass seafood stir fry. Also, they put it in a styrofoam container and sauce spilled all over the bag and napkins. The veggies in my pho were co undercooked and the tofu what dried out. The broth barely had any flavor and the minimal sauce packets of Hoison and Sriracha barely did enough to save this flavorless meal. The spring rolls had old soggy lettuce. We were visiting Charlotte and looking for a hot meal at the end of a long day, but frankly this was disappointing. read more

Very good tasting pho. They don't skim out on beef on their pho. You get big portion of noodle along with the beef. Highly recommended. Although, I find it a bit expensive, but it is worth it for the taste and portion they give you. read more

This place was great. Not sure what the complaints are for. I had the crispy spring rolls, small chicken pho, and Thai tea with boba. No complaints from me. Everything tastes great and came out fast! The prices were reasonable. I like the fact they have small, medium, or large sizes for the pho because I can never finish your typical bowl of pho. I would definitely return! read more

I LOVED this restaurant. I always got their Pho, it was great. However today I tried something different. The first few bites were good but THEN I saw discarded TRASH in my food. Literally on my noodle. I contacted the restaurant and the owner apologized and stated he staff "overlooked the sticker when they put it in the pot". She then proceeded to tell me that I could have 10% off MY NEXT ORDER. No, no thank you. I will never return as this company and staff think it is ok to serve sub-par food. It makes me think about how ALL the food is prepared. Are there other little nasty things that are "overlooked" during preparation and cooking and allowed to be served? Ugh. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant but I digress. It was a horrible experience. First, let's start with the no refund policy. Red flag! The food was cold. My husband called and they said to come back. We live 5 minutes away LITERALLY. They said the food was made to order. Impossible. If there is hot food in a bag then there would be moisture present. There was none. We were really nice about it when we called. They had also forget shrimp on his order of chicken vermicelli. The noodles for the PHO were over cooked. The limes were dry or either old. Lastly, they served spring rolls that were not deveined. Disgusting. I miss Mr. Pho because they were super clean and the food was superior. Finally, the manager or owner was defensive about our VALID complaints. She said she would issue a refund. I hope she does that right thing. read more

Pho Ngon - Gross - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I come to this place very often and like the waiters here. They always work with full energy especially in the lunch time. I thought that I was here the same time with Ms Gabriel P. who wrote the review below and here is the story. Ms Gabriel wanted to pay her bill with $100 cash but the waiter had not enough chance then asked her pay by card. Ms Gabriel didnot bring her card and her son told her that he just had $4 in his card. Another customer requested the waiter that he will pay for the bill of Ms Gabriel. The son of Ms Gabriel pretended to disagree and refused but immediately say thank you to such customer and told such customer that he appreciates that. The waiter let such customer pay first then informed Ms Gabriel's son that she didnot add her bill in the card of such customer. Ms. Gabriel immediately took the cash tip from the hand of the waiter and her son took out a card to pay. Fortunately, his card was not only $4 as he said, but enough to pay the entire bill for the meal. And the son doesn't tip the waiter, he just signed the bill and walked out and forgot to say thank you or appreciate the waiter's service. That's all I witnessed today at this restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed this place. My wife and I have been here twice for dinner, and both times it was empty. But, we don't know why, because we love it. So don't be alarmed if there aren't a lot of people. The menu offers a good selection of items, and it's pretty easy to understand what your ordering (not always the case with Vietnamese places). My wife got the stir fry and really enjoyed it. I got a rice noodle bowl, and it was excellent. A great spot. Try it out read more

Food was really tasty and service was wonderful. The lady at the register was so welcoming. I will certainly go again

This is pretty standard Vietnamese fare. They offer bread instead of rice as an options, which is pretty clever since the banh mi French bread stuff is a carby delight! Service was prompt. We came during a work lunch one day. Everybody at my table was really happy with their orders. One person got a stir fry and the other person got what looked like a curry dish. I had a fruit smoothie with boba, which curiously took like 10 minutes to make. We tried to order another one to take with us, but were told it would take an extra 10 minutes. So, be aware. Also be aware that their vegetarian options are super slim. I wanted banh mi, but they had no vegetarian option. I asked if they could just omit the meat and throw in extra carrot and daikon and stuff, and I was told no. That seems very odd. I made do with my deluxe 10-minute smoothie. read more

Had I written a review after having their Bun Thit Nuong, I would have rated Pho Ngon 4 stars. It was some of the best I have ever had and the portion was huge. I went back with a Vietnamese friend one evening and found the food average this time. I opted for the Vietnamese papaya salad and spring rolls with grilled pork. I love Thai papaya salad and found the Vietnamese version quite different. I liked the jerky style beef pieces on the salad but the salad itself was not very flavorful except for being a little spicy. The spring rolls with dipping sauce were bland and the rice paper wrap didn't have the perfect texture. My friend ordered a bowl of Pho and said it was not as good as the one from a highly rated Pho place in Chicago suburbs she frequents, not to mention it was almost 30% more expensive than the Pho in Chicago suburbs. $9 for a bowl of pho is pricy. They do have several Vietnamese hot pots on the menu which you don't normally see in Vietnamese restaurants. I may give them a try one day. read more

Pho Ngon is Ngon! The pho dac biet was delicious, as was the banh mi and egg rolls (cha gio) Admittedly $4 for 2 egg rolls is entirely too expensive, and $5.50 for thit nuong banh mi is also high. But If you're craving for it, it beats driving all the way to Asian corner for a Le's banh mi ;-) I'm so happy the LA crawfish owner decided to change his focus and leave the seafood behind but stick to what they do best so now there is delicious pho to eat in south Charlotte!

I have found my favorite hot pot in Charlotte. Even though the weather is warming up I may have to keep coming back for that delicious tom yum broth. The hot pot here is great because all the vegetables and meats come along the rim of the pot keeping the table clear of unnecessary dishes. I love efficiency! The dish comes with a little bit of everything which is great for those of us who don't want to commit to just one thing. Included in the standard price were beef, chicken, shrimp and mussels. The vegetables were a little less plentiful but sufficient. The noodles were fresh and delicious. I also appreciated that they asked if we understood the hot pot process since we have always just muddled along hoping we were doing it right. I have been for lunch once since they moved from their previous location and branding (LA Crawfish) and while I love the stir fry dishes they have (so much food!) the service is a little slow. I hope they are able to work that out so I don't have to sheepishly sneak back to my desk because my lunch ran over. Overall this is a great addition to the Ayrsely area and worth a visit. I am almost missing the cold weather so I could properly enjoy my new favorite hot pot. read more

The com tam was always good. The portion is generous. Though, what's up with the MEDIUM RARE pork chops? Porks are not supposed to eat medium rare? C' on now.

So idk why they got so many bad customer service reviews. read more

Delish food, good service. We got the pho, summer rolls and vermicelli bowl (always my fav).

We actually come here often. But our last visit, we were charged gratuity (there was 5 of us, I didn't see anything about it on the menu?!). There were two waiters, a guy and a girl. The girl was our waitress and she was on her phone half of the time. She didn't get my husband's order and when was reminded of it, they packaged it to go. And had gotten the size and type of pho wrong. If she really didn't hear him, why didn't she just ask us to specify? Two stars because the quality of my food wasn't the best along with the service - I usually don't get the pho here, and this isn't the place to get the "best". read more

The service here is trash. Ended up waiting forever for a to go order. The people here are very rude and speak you to you in a unkindly manner. They definitely take way to long to basically even speak to you once you get in the door. Definitely needs to work customer service. After making the order it said it would take 15 min but after waiting 40 min at the restaurant I ended up leaving and going to chipotle across the street where I finished a whole meal before getting an email saying it was now Ready. A WHOLE 1 HOUR LATER. Do not eat here. read more

Love this place, been coming since they were next door, except the food is even better now they are pho ngon, staff is always super friendly and the Tom Yum hot pot is one of the best in Charlotte, plus they carry Ban Mi which I love and is my staple for lunch.

Pho Ngon - Papaya salad, seriously delicious. - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went here on a whim. Decided to try a bowl of Pho. I'm real big on flavors. I have to admit, when the waitress brought out the plate with my veggie garnish, I was a bit disappointed. The veggies were a bit wilted. The bean sprouts were on their last leg. No basil...pretty limes & jalepenos at least. I hoped that the Pho I ordered would not be as disappointing. The bowl I ordered was a small size bowl. I asked for the clear noodles (tapioca) with shrimp, chicken & bbq pork in beef broth. The smell was simply amazing! Let me tell you...they loaded it down with basil!! I got my basil!!! Yay!! And scallions! Yay!! And sliced onion!! Yay!!! I love veggies! But all the flavors combined were delicious! I mean, when I say I cleaned my bowl & slurped every bit of it down, I have no shame! None! The small bowl was plenty for me. And although the clear noodles have a habit of clumping together somewhat, they held the flavor of the broth. All in all, I have to say, I was very impressed with my meal & definitely plan to visit again in the near future. read more

Pho Ngon is one of the best pho restaurants in CLT. You will not regret it when you dine there. Their broth is so good, and I enjoy their pho so much. I live about 35-40min away from there, and I will drive there when I want some good pho. read more

The hubs and I are fans of this place. He likes the rare beef, meatballs, tendon, & tripe. I myself prefer the rare beef & tendon. The broth here is *usually* amazing. However, there have been occasions where there was so much fat I could see it floating in large pools. There have also been a few visits when the broth tasted as if the cook had some irrational fear of salt. Their summer rolls are spot on. No complaints there. They have a decent beer selection. The staff is friendly. Overall, the place is clean....with the exception of the restroom. I recently visited the restroom for the for the first time in a bit and wow! The restroom is a little bizarre: toilet paper ON TOP OF TP dispenser, paper towels ON TOP OF towel dispenser, random (not restroom) cleaning products/items scattered everywhere, & the mirror had this thick white film smeared all over it. I couldn't catch a clear glance of my face anywhere! So yeah...I still say this is a great place. Food, service, drinks Restroom ‍‍‍ read more

Of course this was during my lunch break, I seem to be eating out a lot more for lunch now a days... anyways, our break was an hour and this just made the cut off time! When we got there we had to wait a couple minutes for them to clean off a table (even though they had plenty of other ones already available). It did not seem that long for the waitress to come over and grab our drink orders - and I ordered an appetizer (summer rolls). The summer rolls were yummy. They seemed to use fresh leafy greens, but the rice wrapper was a little thicker than others which made it a little harder to "rip" when I bit into it. I ordered a number 2; it did not take that long for the food to arrive at the table. It was pretty hot, so that's good. The broth is beef based so it was on the darker side. The plate of "toppings" all seemed really fresh and tasted delicious! However... the server did not check on us until basically we were almost done (just sipping on broth). Also when the checks came I was paying with cash (my total was $12.45). She gave me $7... what happened to my .55 cents?!? I thought this was rather rude and I felt "gypped". The Pho was not the best I have had, but I will probably came back for lunch since this is the closest one to my work, but I will be more cautious about the money situation... Also, my coworker's bill (I cannot remember the total) was paid with a card and the total was different than what he was previously given two minutes prior on the receipt. I looked at the receipt and I noticed she did not have his beverage on it and that's where the different amount came from. I have worked in the restaurant business for several years and I would never charge someone's card a different amount without even telling them before I do. The service was not horrible, but not good either. She gave us our drinks, our food, and the checks. I believe she needs a little more training in work ethic though. P.S. I did leave her $2 (plus the .55 cents she neglected to give me). Which is a 20% tip. read more
