    Vegetable Pho with Tofu
    Alecia W.

    This is my first time trying Pho And I was blown away at how flavorful everything was. I ordered the vegetarian pho. The serving size was huge and it came loaded with lots of vegetables and packed the flavor throughout the broth and all of the toppings. They also had an assortment of sauces that I could add to my Pho. The only complaint is that I ordered the small size and I sooo wanted to have Extra after tasting . I should've ordered the large. I definitely will return here again!!

    Second time eating here. First time dining in. The staff was liked and the food was delicious. I didn't have to add any hoisin sauce to my broth because it was perfectly made. The restaurant is a decent size, great area to grab a quick lunch or go for dinner. It's never really crowded and I am looking forward to my next visit.

    I love soup of pretty much every form and pho hits the top of my list every single time! I've seen this place while passing on the literail and I've wanted to try for some time! Service was FAST! Place is super clean with lots of seating. Different sauces if you need at the table. Honestly, some of the best pho broth I've had! The meat was paper thin so super tender! I will be going again for sure!

    Industrial vibe. High ceilings. Area was spacious, organized, and clean. Love the big tables that would be great for families and group of friends. Generous amount of veg for the pho. Pho Dac Biet (Beef combination) 7/10 Broth was not as beefy as we wanted it to be. The broth is the soul of the soup. Noodles are fresh and have a great texture that goes well with the soup. Good amount of beef cuts. Pho Hai San (Seafood) 5/10 I was disappointed that it came with imitation crab and imitation scallops. The broth did not taste like seafood at all but it was a nice light pho broth. Shrimp tasted great and fresh. Noodles were also fresh and bouncy. Salted lemonade drink (8.5/10) was refreshing. Perfect for a hot day Coconut juice (7/10) You can tell that it came from a can. I would have appreciate it more if I was given the can and a cup of ice. Instead it became too watery because half the cup was filled with ice. The coconut meat was a nice touch. Overall a good spot for a nice bowl of pho

    So I went to another pho place in Charlotte beforehand and I didn't really like that place as much. My brother wanted to grab some nice Asian style noodles, so we decided to give this place a try. We really enjoyed the pho here. You can sit anywhere you want, and the staff will bring the menu to you. We all ordered pho, I got the beef P3 and my brother got the Chicken, and it was very flavorful! I even took back some leftover pho and it tasted even better at night when the flavors had time to sit! They give you extra Jalepenos and bean sprouts, along with chili oil you can add. I would really recommend this spot if you're looking for some pho that feels cozy and warm! The Vietnamese iced coffee here was amazing!! Ambiance is nice. They have cool paintings on the wall.

    The wings and beef pho were piping hot and absolutely delish! The portion size easily allowed for leftovers! The staff was friendly, and the service was prompt. and while the atmosphere was a bit loud, it wasn't overwhelming- just a lively, bustling spot. Parking can be a bit of a hassle depending on the time/day you plan to visit, so be prepared! I'll definitely visit this establishment again when in Charlotte!

    Came in on a cold Saturday afternoon, it was packed, but we found a table however this day it appeared to be not so many employees working because even though we were taken care of some orders were forgotten and others were not brought out. The food was fresh, presentation was still very good but somehow maybe they were stretched too thin. We were fairly taken care of! I wish because of how good of a product they have, and how popular they've become that they need a larger business with more people employed. Just a suggestion. I guess that's a good problem to have.

    I was craving pho (my favorite) and was lucky enough to find this place within walking distance of my room at the Hilton. It was only an 8 minute walk. When I came in you can seat yourself anywhere and someone came out to get my drink order and give me a menu. I ordered S3 and P1. The food was tasty and it came out quickly and the pricing was reasonable. It really hit the spot and then I was able to sit and charge my phone until it was time for my next thing, without feeling rushed to get up from the table. They have a casual atmosphere.

    I'm telling you this is the place! I eat Pho errrrweerrre, and this is authentic as I've had state side. You can get all the horror movie parts you want, and the depth of flavor in the broth is the best in the city. The service is spot on too. "What you want?" Two people running the whole show, and it runs smooth. Go Pho now!

    Chicken pho with spicy broth
    LaToria L.

    This was my first time trying Pho. It was surprisingly flavorful and hot. I would say the only con was the lack of chicken. Other than that the service and atmosphere were great . I will be back

    Chicken pho with half an egg
    Emmanuella M.

    The moment the weather dropped, I knew it was pho time! We went in the late afternoon so beat the lunch rush and we were seated quickly at a clean table. I got the chicken pho with half a boiled egg but switched out the broth for the spicy broth (pro tip!). I was expecting more chicken though as I kept turning the noodles looking for more. I will definitely be back to try more items!

    The Pho - 9/10 very flavorful broth, meat and the noodles absorbed the flavor of the broth. Crazy serving amount, I could only finish 1/2 of my bowl. Staff was amazing and very helpful, my servers were so nice and explained everything on the menu. I liked the music they were playing. Overall great experience would def go here again.

    Dinner at Saigon Palace with friends is always a good idea…read more This was one of those nights where the table just kept filling up with dishes and everyone shared everything family-style. Summer rolls, quail, noodle dishes, pho, and of course the beef and broccoli that I am constantly telling people to order. Once again, it delivered. Tender beef, great flavor, huge portion, and everybody at the table immediately understood why I keep talking about it. This is the kind of restaurant that works best when you order a bunch of dishes and let everyone try a little of everything tapas-style. The portions are generous and very shareable. The staff here is also genuinely helpful. They made recommendations for our table, checked in often, and kept everything moving smoothly even with a larger group. Another underrated bonus is the parking. They have their own lot, which in Charlotte honestly deserves appreciation all by itself. Easy access too, especially if you are coming from the freeway or busy parts of town. If you love Vietnamese food, this place is absolutely worth adding to your regular rotation. Great pho, great noodle dishes, friendly service, and consistently delicious food. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.

    As a Vietnamese consumer, I think that their BUN DAC BIET…read moreis SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!! It's not even a joke. 10 out of 10 stars ^ Overall, Saigon Palace (CLT, NC) I have to give a 6.0 stars mostly for the generosity of the portions and delivering genuine authenticity. Outside of that..... the Crab Rangoons was literally just cream cheese and stale as fuck and that was actually super upsetting.
