    Rock sugar
    Denawa A.

    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

    Service is excellent, the employees were all super nice. Pretty solid pork banh mi, Kallie enjoyed her pho. About average price. Would come back.

    Phở Tái
    Josh W.

    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.

    #55 Shrimp Fried Rice
    Ian N.

    #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)

    I recommend you coming here because the food is good and sever is so nice and polite And they bring you drink first then ask you what you want to eat

    Pho brisket + extra veggies!!

    Good.. brisket Pho + extra veggies.. soup was hot and the veggies fresh and a touch crunchy! Yum! Service was quick. Took less than 10min.. order was accurate.. Ambiance is what it is.. def sits squarely in the cafe category.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Very nice family that gives good service and the food is always hot and fast. Broth is good!

    Summer rolls
    Bill Z.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Pho Van

    Do they any pho or soups that are not beef or pork, like any veggie or chicken based soups?

    Yes. They have vegetarian and chicken dishes. For instance, on the menu if it says Pho Ga, it's chicken Pho.

    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.
