Pho Van has a tasty selection of noodle soups. I came for lunch on a Sunday and found the restaurant to be consistently busy the entire time. However, I had no problem getting a table! You can tell this place is frequented by regulars, which is always a good sign. It's located in a small unassuming strip mall, but there is plenty of easy parking all around. The restaurant is cozy and unpretentious with options for booths or tables. I ordered a chicken pho, and I found the broth to be very rich. Even for a smaller sized bowl, the portions were decent. There were a good amount of noodles and a respectable amount of chicken in the bowl. Overall, this place is solid. I'd only give four stars because the service was a little bit slow, and we had to ask for the plate of bean sprouts, cilantro, and mint. read more

I decided to stop here for dinner. Grabbed Vermicelli Noodles with grilled pork. Food was good and standard to all other Vietnamese restaurant. Meat was tasty and delicious. I got takeout and it only took 10 mins for my food to be ready. Service was fast. The place is your normal Vietnamese restaurant size. Not too big not too little. Feels relaxing to eat at if I were to eat there. The ambiance was fine read more

I tried their specialty pho & it was delicious; gave it 4 stars because I need to try more dishes. A small family restaurant tucked in the corner of a shopping center; authentic food. I didn't take any pics because I was too hungry, just focused on eating my Pho!! read more

Was exactly what we needed on a cold winter day. The chrysanthemum tea was so delicious not too sweet and super cozy. My niece got the Bún Heo Hoặc Gà Nướng with grilled chicken, cabbage and peanuts. She thought it was pretty tasty. I got the Phở Nam regular size and it was a pretty hefty portion. I probably could have gotten the small and been very satisfied. Overall the service was quick to get the food. Wasn't as quick to wrap up which was nice, we didn't feel rushed out. Will definitely be back soon read more

I was craving Pho while we were in charlotte and this place had great reviews. Their menu was extensive and offered a little bit of everything. I'm very picky about pho. I know when places have the good stuff and I know when they don't. Their pho was so good. It met my expectations easily. The service was good too. Our server was very attentive and helpful! read more

Smallish Vietnamese restaurant that legit had some of the best Phở Gà I've ever tasted. Saw some reviews of this place on Yelp and put it on the list of spots we needed to eat at during our trip to Charlotte. Generally speaking, when you pop into a Vietnamese joint and all the customers are Vietnamese, the food should be pretty damn good. That was definitely the case here. And for the record, I'm Vietnamese. Service was fast and friendly (conversely, up in northeast USA, the more terse the service, the better the food, and the friendlier the service, the less better the food). The Cà Phê Sữa Ðá was standard fare, as were the Gỏi Cuốn and Chả Giò The standouts were the Phở Gà (what I ordered) and Phở Tái (what my GF ordered). The broth was deep and flavorful and you could tell it was made with love...everything phở broth should be. If you love Vietnamese cuisine and are in Charlotte, Pho Van should be on your list of places to go. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Charlotte. read more

#55 Shrimp Fried Rice (3/5): Very mediocre fried rice. It didn't have enough flavor or oiliness. #24 Pho (3/5): All pho basically tastes the same to me, but I didn't like how much cilantro was in this. Crab Rangoon (3/5): Almost no cream cheese. Basically a fried wonton filled with shredded imitation crab. Very strange. #2 Summer Rolls (2/5): WAY too much mint. It completely overpowered everything. The peanut sauce was pretty good though. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Pho Van - Pho brisket + extra veggies!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Pho for me is a great comfort food especially on a cold or rainy day. Recently on a bleak rainy evening I found myself craving it, and after doing online research I found myself at Pho Van. Many people regarded this as the best place to get pho and I can see where they are coming from, it is delicious! The restaurant is small and cozy, when you walk in you are welcome to take a seat wherever you like and they will bring you water and a menu. I decided on their combo pho because I can never decide between the meatballs or brisket so why not both. The bowl had generous portions of noodles and meat and the broth was delectable. It's hard for me to say if it is the best pho in charlotte, as there are a lot of places I haven't tried, and some that I tried many years ago, but I can say that it is the best I've had in recent memory! read more

Aesthetic: Authentic, Mom and Pop Vietnamese restaurant with a variety of pho and yummy dishes. My Favorites: The Pho Ga and Pho Dac Biet are outstanding, I can't wait to try more! Experience: I knew this place was legit when we walked in and a lady was hand stuffing crab rangoons at one of the booths. Both orders of pho we had were fantastic, I highly recommend getting the large so you can have two servings. It's a lot of food! We were feeling under the weather, and this was the perfect healing meal. We also tried the coconut juice and chrysanthemum tea, and they were both delicious. This is going to be our go to spot for pho in Charlotte, we seriously can't wait to come back. read more

Great new Vietnamese place on South Blvd. It actually took the place of Vietnam Grille which had good food but very inconsistent service. I have been to Pho Van several times and received great food and service every time! Some of the servers are not completely fluent in English but the owner is and she can answer any questions or make recommendations if you're unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine. All of the food that I have had has been really good. I am particularly fond of their Phos (steaming hot broth based soups) where the meat and herbs are added at the table. They simmer their base broth for at least 12 hours which gives it a deep, complex flavors that you won't always find at other places! Beautiful! Cheers! read more

My lunch today included some of the best pho ga I've had in a very long time. It was obviously made fresh, full of chicken and greens, and it was not heavy in salt as I've had it many times in the Northeast. The atmosphere, the decor, and most importantly the staff are very welcoming here. I don't know if it was intentional, but our tea was brought to us a few minutes before the cups were, which essentially forced us to let it steep an appropriate amount of time. Each of us received our own bowl of dipping sauce for the summer rolls, which meant we could each double-dip into our own sauce as much as we wanted. It's amazing that something as simple as that has not been a common thing at other Vietnamese restaurants. My pho ga also came with additions I've not had elsewhere, most notably chili oil. Our other entree was a chicken and pineapple rice dish, nicely seasoned and with just the right amount of sweetness. This was a great find and a pleasure at which to dine. read more

Delicious food that came out quick. Happy with the selection and variety of dishes. Food was fresh and tasted very good. The restaurant has a decent amount of seating and servers were excellent. My family loves coming here and never leave disappointed. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 9 Decor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Super friendly and attentive service. I got a classic banh mi with extra pâté, which you can see clearly see from the picture. As for the taste of the pâté, it was not as intense as I would like, but not bad at all. The all important bread was good fresh, but did get slightly chewy when I ate the second half on the plane ride home two hours later. Honestly, not a big deal because it should be eaten fresh anyway. Cold cuts were fine, but I would have preferred a bit more punch with the veggies. Regardless, a satisfying banh mi overall, served by a wonderful mother daughter team. Btw, Vietnamese coffee was good. I'll be back to try some other dishes next time. read more

Omg if i could give this place 10 stars i would!! Good was hot, fresh and amazing ! Our server educated us on the different teas they offered as well as the different soup dishes as i like a spicy option and wanted Pho! I ended up trying the Beef noodle soup and it satisfied my need for something hot and delicious!! We also tried the shrimp fried rice and crab Rangoon! Sad i don't live in Charlotte to have this every week. Highly recommend this order if you're looking for Pho or Vietnamese food! read more

Was here for lunch... Pretty slow and quiet which I can appreciate. On the menu it showed they offer Banh xeo (yellow pancakes) which is my favorite. However, she said only on the weekends. Pretty disappointed. I'm hoping they can tell me what's on the weekend menu Vs weekdays. So I ordered the following: Regular size Pho Dac Biet: 5/5 as as any pho. Savory and the expected flavors of pho. Summer rolls: 5/5 just like my mom made it Pork chop combination broken rice plate: 3/5 the pork chop is kinda dry and their egg meatloaf was soooo dry and tasted old. I took a small bite and that was it.. Vietnamese coffee: 5/5 I call those liquid crack. One sip, you feel like you have wings like Red Bull can. All in all. It was good. Great place for lunch. Prices are decent. I guess I would like to try their weekend menu, read more

Came here for dinner with my husband and we loved everything we ordered. We ordered the Summer Rolls but they accidentally brought out the Grilled Pork Rolls (which we were okay with) and they were so flavorful! I think we preferred them tbh! Then we ordered Beef Pho and also a Banh Mi to share. The Pho broth was authentic and had layers of flavors. The sandwich was my husband's favorite - the pork was prepared well and seasoned perfectly. We highly recommended this spot! read more

South Boulevard continues to produce some of the most diverse restaurants in the city, and this one is no exception! First, to be clear, if you are not paying attention, you will miss this location. It is tucked into a very nondescript section of South Boulevard, and shares a parking lot with a laundromat and a grocery store called compare market. So you may want to slow down as you get closer to the location so you don't miss the turn off. At 7 PM, the restaurant was mostly empty with two other tables occupied, but by the time we left, every table was full with another party walking in. Even given the traffic, the restaurant is very quiet, clean, and well lit. This is a very extensive menu with quite a few dishes that I was not familiar with. So we relied on previous Yelp, reviewers for help, and they did not disappoint! For starters, we tried the Mongolian fries, which I may not be correctly naming. Matter of fact, I don't remember all of the specific names of each dish, so I will just describe them in the best way that I can. For entrées, we had the brisket and short rib pho as well as the broken rice and pork chop house special. I was not familiar with broken rice, so after asking the waiter about the dish, I decided to try it. It was a really generous portion of meat and rice, with an over easy egg on top, accompanied by another egg soufflé, type side, some greens and veggies. Everything was really good, well seasoned and especially fragrant with Thai spices. The pork chop was moist and perfectly cooked, and the flavor was outstanding. And for my first time tasting broken rice, I really enjoyed it. The texture wasn't too different from regular short grain or long grain rice but again the flavor is what made the difference here. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pho. Probably one of the best bowls I've had in a while. Extremely flavorful broth, and the short rib was tender enough to pull the meat off with a fork. And unlike other Thai restaurants, they didn't overload us with add-on ingredients. Just enough, basil, bean sprouts and jalapeño slices to enhance the bowl's already flavorful ingredients. One additional highlight I need to mention is the outstanding service. We were waited on by both owners, and every time they approached the table, they asked how we were enjoying things and offered suggestions when asked. My lady had the Thai coffee, and was so in love with it, she saved half of it to take home for breakfast the next morning! And to top everything off, the restaurant is a real value. We paid a total of approximately $60 including the tip. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

We were around the area and decided to give Pho Van a go! Place is smaller, but cozy, indeed. Staff were friendly and service was good and we were served in a good amount of time.

Pho Van - Beef combination pho and spring roll. - Vietnamese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Best pho in Charlotte. There aren't many to choose from but I can admit with confidence that they're the top choice. It's all about the broth. I prefer a clear and aromatic broth and they nailed it. The noodles weren't clumped together either and were easy to pull apart. The bean sprouts and basil were fresh. The sliced pepper was crisp and had a good kick. Dining area is small, maybe 50 seats or so. A large group could be accommodated but not all at one table. Service is quick, maybe too quick so don't be offended on your first visit. There's plenty of parking as well. Winner... read more

Bun 3 Mon was balanced, flavor and texture-wise, except the cha gio was just okay. Service was a little slow, but fine. They didnt bring all our food at once, which makes it awkward to start eating. There wasnt chili oil available on the table for the Bun Bo Hue, so we had to ask for it, and they didnt remember to bring out the veggies/herbs that are for the Bun Bo Hue. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. It was the perfect amount of full for Sunday lunch (not awkwardly empty, but not a bunch of people waiting to be seated). read more

New Vietnamese spot in the old Vietnam Grill location on South Blvd. We tried the Pho Ga and a vegan pho and both were excellent. We picked it up for take out so I can't comment on overall service but the lady who greeted me on the phone to take my order and in help me in person upon pickup was very friendly. The broth was flavorful without being too salty, the chicken was tender and moist and the overall textures and flavors of this Pho was excellent. My daughter is vegetarian and she tried a vegetarian version and enjoyed it quite a bit. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes. The menu was extensive. They've added booths, and a sound system with music for an upgraded atmosphere over the prior restaurant that used the space. It's still a fairly basic atmosphere but definitely upgraded from what it was. read more

This location used to be the old Vietnam grille- now it's a new restaurant with new ownership and a new menu. First off, let me say that I am Vietnamese. So I'm very picky when it comes to Vietnamese restaurants and I know what's good and what's not good; it's my favorite cuisine! Needless to say they exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be coming here from now on as my go to Vietnamese spot because it is close to my house. They have a very extensive menu so I'm super excited to try out even more stuff. All the dishes that I got were amazing! When: Sunday at 1 PM, party of two for dine in. There was no wait. Overall: 4.8/5 Food: 4.8/5 - we got the cha gio (egg rolls), pho ga (chicken pho), and the com tam suon bi cha (broken rice with pork chop, pork and egg quiche). They were all SO good!!!!! The pho broth was delicious and authentic and flavorful. There was a perfect balance of broth, noodles, chicken, and veggies. When the com tam came out, my eyes were as big as the big ol pork chop it was served with! Wow!! The pork was so soft and tender and the marinade they used was sooo yummy. The fact that they used tep mo (fried out pork fat) to top the dish off was a 5 out of 5 in my books because not many places add it. The bi and cha were also delicious too- my portion was so big i barely ate half of it and took the rest home.. which is a WIN in my books when its a big portion! Overall everything we got was amazing and I can't wait to go back to try even more dishes. The menu was huge and had so many authentic Vietnamese dishes that you typically wouldn't see at other restaurants around here, so I'm just thrilled that they have so much to offer. Hopefully I can try their Special next time, which this weekend was banh cuon (savory rice crepes). I also overheard a server saying they have bun rieu (crab noodle soup) and that is my FAVORITE! Drinks: 4.8/5 - we ordered the ca phe sua da (viet iced coffee). Super strong, delicious, and perfectly balanced with the condensed milk. Yum!!! Service: 4.7/5 - everyone there was super sweet and attentive, all with smiles on their faces. They got everything we needed within a timely manner and we didn't have to ask for anything. And yes, they do speak English here so no worries if you don't know Vietnamese. However, like most ethnic restaurants, do not expect an over the top five star service when you come here. Vibes: 4.2/5 - it's your typical no-frills Vietnamese restaurants/Pho spot. Don't expect much when it comes to the aesthetics or the environment here besides Vietnamese music playing in the background ha ha but you're coming here for the food not for the vibes.. but that is to be expected for any authentic Vietnamese place. They pour their heart and soul and effort into their food, not the aesthetics of the place which is fine by me! But the restaurant is very very clean! Other: it's in the same parking lot as the new compare foods on South Boulevard. It is surface parking and it is all free. They also have some weekend specials on the board. I highly recommend checking them out. I wish I saw the weekend special before I ordered my meal because I totally would've gotten it! read more
