My daughter brought me here for lunch - I had never had pho before but I like most Asian food so I was ready to try something new. The owner was great! He took the time to explain several of the dishes to me, helping me to choose a dish. I ordered Com Tay Cam Db ( a rice, protein and vegetable dish in a clay pot) and it was fantastic! My daughter ordered the Pho and we both sampled each other's food. The Pho was great too. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some great Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Variety of Pho (noodle soup), fried rice, vermicelli and other noodle dishes. Friendly service, ample parking (in a strip mall) and seating. My favorite is the Clay pot combination. Cup of ice cream to end the meal. Love eating here when we are in town! read more

Thien An Pho - Clay pot S2. Com Tay Cam DB - Vietnamese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Food was food! I had bun thit noung, noodles with pickled vegetables, was delicious. Service & ambiance was a mixed bag. It's a small family restaurant, so not a ton of staff. They brought the meals out as they were made, so some people had no food while others did, which is hard sometimes when someone is hungry and looking at eating ppl. Tables were not really cleared, because it was busy. But one of the best meals I had in Virginia, because the food was delicious! read more

Was craving Vietnamese soup on a hot day and stopped here driving through Virginia. Service was quick and friendly, restaurant was clean and had good AC so you're not covered in sweat while slurping your oodles. Amazing pork rolls and chicken wings. BF had the Pho and enjoyed it, I tried the broth and it was delicious, not too strong on the star anise which I liked. I had the Bun Bo Hue, this was bland and not spicy... had to add more sate ( chili sauce) and the broth was warm, not hot which was disappointing, it was just okay and honestly will not order it again. I know I should've have the Pho instead for a more satisfying meal. It's still 4 stars because the Pho was authentic. read more

Great food and easy to get to from JMU. Service is always quick and friendly. I pick my buddy up from JMU campus and this is our go to lunch spot. Very nice and quiet to talk about life, football, and whatever....get the Pho and the friend tofu appetizer! read more

Ok. I go to Harrisonburg once a week. Every time I go I stop here. Im slowly working my way through their entire menu. Why? Because I like to try new things. Every. Single. Dish. Has been amazing. I didnt really expect much when I first went. Its in a shopping center and in a line of several restaurants. Nothing about its decor or exterior really stuck out. When you walk in they let you seat yourself. I like that because I just get uncomfortable sitting in certain places. Im just weird like that. My social anxiety rearing it's lovely head! Their menu is pretty straight forward and simple. Not too many items where youre overwhelmed, but enough to cover a variety of tastes. I cant even begin to spell or remember the names of everything I've tried, so im just going to gice you the highlights and explain why I think this place is THE BEST. Vietnamese Lemongrass chicken. Im notnsure the exact name for it but its got thin vermicelli rice noodles, some delicious grilled chicken, shredded lettuce and cucumbers. It has this dressing (its basically like... a dipping sauce but its vinegar based and I think this dish is technically called a noodle salad, im not 100% sure) thats tangy, sweet, salty and delicious. The chicken is always tangy, the noodles are springy and jot overcooked. The lettuce is super thin shredded, the cucumbers are the perfect cut... it comes in this huge bowl so you can mix it easily. This one is my FAVORITE. I have had it at 4 other places and NONE of them make it the same as this place. The chicken is always not grilled well, and dry, or the noodles are overcooked, or the vegetables are clunky and just... not all that smooth. Then theres the price. This is the cheapest place ove found to get this dish by MINIMUM $5 and thats after a recent price hike. My own home town sells this dish at their noodles house for $25 and their noodles are cooked ahead and laid in planks where they gum up and clump up and look like sad little plants instead of noodles. It makes me cry. Anyways... Thien An Pho does it best, and cheapest and when you can get those two things combined? Yeah. They've got my heart. My next favorite thing is the BBQ pork spring rolls. The first time I went there i asked for a recommendation of what they liked of the appetizers. This was what the woman recommended. Its BBQ pork (kind of like the BBQ spare ribs at a Chinese place in flavor... little sweet, red in color, etc) with vermicelli noodles and other veggies wrapped in a rice paper wrap. I think some places call it a summer rolls, where the wrap is chewy, and everything is raw. Its delicious. They also sell a chicken and shrimp version, but by far the BBQ pork one is my favorite. Comes 2 to an order and theyre pretty big. They come with a peanut dipping sauce. Smokey Beef. This is served on a cast iron plate, still sizzling. Its freaking delicious. A little sweet, but not a wet wet sauce. Comes with rice and its a little spicy but jot too bad at all. I didnt get a picture but its got sliced beef, onions and green onions. The beef was tender and my mouth is watering thinking about it. I might order it this week again! I haven't found anyplace that makes a dish thats similar. Well, they do but the taste is not at all similar. This place hands down knows what tastes good. String Beans with garlic sauce over rice. This is once again delicious. The string beans are tender but not mushy at all. Theres onions and red bell peppers stir fried with them. Its served with rice and its so filling. Mmm. Its a great vegetarian option, but not at ALL the ONLY one they have! I've tried their pho thst had a combination of pork and brisket and that was SO flavorful. I did add a bit of sriracha because I wanted some spice, but the flavor was very bold on its own. I couldn't even finish the whole bowl, much to my dismay. Its a very large portion! There's another noodle soup i tried... its spicy abd Lemongrass based but I dont know the name of it. It had, I think... pork, beef, and fish cake maybe? So spicy my nose was running but not so spicy that I didnt want to eat it. I got this 2 times in a row. I do not regret it. It was delicious both times and rates among my top 3 favorites from them. Price wise this place is THE cheapest place for this type of food with consistently high quality. I've been to several other noodle houses trying to find similar dishes and even if I found the dishes, the prices and quality of food didnt even begin to compare. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, which I love, and honestly I dont have anything bad to say at all about the place. Please just go if youre in the area. This place is amazing. The only thing I may possibly regret about this review is that maybe more people may go and then it might get crowded lol But if it does, they deserve it. Seriously. read more

Stopped for lunch after moving our son back to college. Food was excellent as always! Fast friendly service! Discount if you pay with cash!!

One of the first places I've ever had pho. It is very good. I have tried other Pho places and it's just not the same. Service is great. Owner is a nice man. Very minimal decorations but that's okay. I'm there for the pho and not the decorations. Prices seem to be a little pricey. If you get Pho with a good broth it's worth it. I've had it before where the Pho broth might not be quite right but it's still very good read more

Our first trip and my kids want to go back soon! Pho broth was hot and delicious, and garnishes were fresh. Love the chili crunch on the table. Will definitely go back. read more

The decor of the restaurant is minimal, but nice, and the seating in the restaurant is well set. The service at the restaurant was really good, the owner greeted us when we came in, and our waiter immediately came over with our water. I ordered the Grilled Pork with Rice, and I loved how charred and well grilled the pork was. They give a great portion of fish sauce, which is rare, and the rice was good and easily eaten with chopsticks. We also ordered a pork banh mi, and that was definitely the best banh mi I've ever had. The bread was really good, crusty and well toasted, and there was a good sauce, meat, and vegetable ratio. After we'd finished our meal the owner came over to our table, and he was really kind and conversational. Overall, a great restaurant that I would definitely recommend! read more

Thien An Pho - Good size of bowl :) - Vietnamese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

It was my first time trying this place so I ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt to test the spot. The broth here is fragrant and delicious, and I would absolutely get the egg rolls again. In terms of size, the Phở is big enough to share, but it's so good you're not going to want to. The person that took my order was also pretty cool and hooked up some kind of a weekday discount, which I wasn't expecting. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

What a surprising find! Driving down to Western North Carolina and had to pull off. Can't make the trip in one shot since the Yukon needs gas, and I have a bladder. Stopped here, a little past the halfway point. In a town of chains, this cafeteria noodle shop is just what we needed. In the heart of James Madison University territory in Harrisonburg PA. Everything was great. We could have ordered with our eyes closed. Deff worth stopping in, all the flavor profiles are there - allspice, lemon grass, curry, the salt & pepper fry on the tofu is out of this world. Servings are tremendous. Served on very large plates which easily take up the entire table. And got my iced coffee here too, very delicious. Tons of takeout. Very casual. People walking the length of the restaurant to the back table and register to pick up their orders. Back to I-81, I'll be back. read more

We came for brisket pho and were not dissapointed! The broth was very flavorful and had such a delicious depth of richness. The owner was very friendly and came out to make sure everything was to our liking. We shared that pho was my daughters birthday dinner request. Later he came out with an order of chicken wings stating that he didn't have cake but made her birthday wings. My daughter LOVES bone-in wings, more than cake actually so that was so kind. We also ordered and appetizer of the Bbq Pork Rolls (summer roll), which we thought was a unique creation and they were excellent! My husband ordered the Combination Stir-Fried Egg Noodle dish which had a good helping of protein and he really enjoyed it. We were impressed with the freshness and portion size of the servings. Oh! The chilli crisp on the table is house-made and totally hits on all levels. Our waiter was attentive and gave us great service. Give Thien- An Pho a shot to earn your business. We're sure glad we did! read more

Traveling from out of town for hikes. So glad we gave this spot a try. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese, this is it. This literally reminds me of my own moms cooking when I visit. Haven't been home for a home cooked meal from my mom since Covid started. And in my area there's NO decent Vietnamese food. I never would've thought this would be where I found it!! We OVER ORDERED for two people but who cares. We knew from the moment we walked in. "It smells like my moms house!" Egg rolls; Pho Combination; Pho Chicken; and Clay pot rice ALL OF IT WAS AMAZING. Did the taste test before I added an hoisin or Sriracha and it was fantastic. We will be coming here for all our hiking and snowboarding trips from now on. Best hands down. This is how it's done read more

Thien An Pho - P1. Pho Dac Biet V1. Com Tay Cam Chay P11. Pho Ga THE BEST - Vietnamese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Stumbled upon this place on Yelp while on the road. After reading the reviews we decided to try their food. They sounded friendly on the phone when placing takeout orders. Foods were already ready when picked up. The place looks big inside and seems to have many seating. We ordered as following. C6. Com Dac Biet : Choice B Combination with rice. Choice of: A (Pork Chop, Chicken wings, & 1 egg roll) OR B (Grilled Pork, 2 Fried Eggs, & 1 Egg roll) $13.95 R1. Bun Bac Biet : Combination over small Vermicelli (Grilled Shrimp, Pork & 1 Egg Roll) $13.95 P13. Bun Bo Hue : Special spicy Lemongrass Beef & Pork Noodle Soup $12.75 P2. Pho Tai : Rare Steak Noodle Soup $11.25 The portions looked big but actually were rather small. The meat in all dishes was very thin and tiny pieces. There were many burnt pieces of grilled pork that could not be eaten which is such a shame because we do not like to waste food. Overall we think the food tasted alright but the portions were small and not many pieces of meats given which was not worth the price they were charging. The only thing I liked was that they gave good amounts of vegetables and they were fresh. read more

Great food and service is amazing. I recommend the jack fruit smoothie as a refreshing summer treat.

I hate to downgrade local businesses with lower reviews but I have to be honest and it's good feedback for the owners On a good day: Broth is full of flavor, fat, and doesn't need much sauce. My previous review reflects what a good day is like On a bad day: I walked in, sat down, and knew what I wanted to order but it took 15 minutes before anyone got to me. However, the guy who served me was super friendly I have come here times when the broth was better than homemade and other times when it was basically salt, fish sauce, and water but usually the broth is delicious. Today, the broth wasn't that good and the meat tasted different. It wasn't like it was spoiled, just not as good as normal. The meatballs (which typically are frozen) were cold in the inside and genuinely tasted off. I've been here enough to know they're better than this, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The pho was still good, just not as good as they usually are read more

Really solid vietnamese place with great high-ceiling interior and great customer service. Pho isn't my cup of tea so I got the cubed filet mignon special over rice. That was amazing. Tender cubes of beef with a sweet and savory sauce to complement the bed of broken white rice. My kind of meal. To top it off, I loved the "spring" rolls (I call them summer rolls). The rice paper was very chewy which I actually enjoyed. All in all, a pleasant experience where I'd come back another day. read more

Thien An Pho - Filet mignon cube over rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Visited Harrisonburg recently and stopped here to eat since my kids enjoyed this place last time. 1 person working the whole restaurant and no help, place was crowded. Say down and waited 10 minutes to get our drink order. Ordered drinks and 3 thai teas never came out but some how was still on our bill. Ordered pho, a variety of them. Broth was good, the meat on them scarce to none. Ordered their crispy noodles and it was just disgusting, not worth eating and definitely not work $20. Their eggroll sauce was the bottled sweet and sour sauce from Walmart instead of the Vietnamese fish sauce. read more

After a long day of hiking in Shenandoah, my boyfriend and I arrived on a Sunday evening and ordered a pho (rare steak + brisket), filet mignon cubes, and a spring roll appetizer. The spring roll name is confusing and it's called a summer roll at most of the other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. The roll is rice paper wrapped around lettuce, vermicelli noodles, and shrimp and not the typical spring roll I think of from Chinese restaurants that are deep fried with vegetables inside. The spring/summer roll is larger than usual and stuffed with a lot of food, but the rice paper was a bit tough for me to chew (although my boyfriend thought it was a great texture, so to each their own). I liked the pho, it comes with a ton of noodles and the broth is a bit brighter and has this vegetable/herb fragrance to it, though I think it could have come with more meat. The filet mignon cubes were also really good and had good seasoning and a nice sauce. Service was quick and friendly, though by the end of the meal it started getting more crowded, and they seem to have a somewhat inefficient system or are understaffed when dealing with a lot of customers. read more

I got the A2. Goi Cuon Tom and the R1. Bun Bac Biet. I've pretty much ate most of it and ate all of the shrimp spring rolls with the really good peanut sauce. This is my first time really ever ordering rice noodles and they are very good. The combination of the 3 meats has the same grilled taste but a tad different flavor. Was nervous to order and to pick something because this is not my usual spot and the person asked if they could help me. Very friendly. Decent pricing two.

Thien An Pho - I got the A2. Goi Cuon Tom and the R1. Bun Bac Biet. I've pretty much ate most of it before I took a picture. - Vietnamese Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Around eleven friends and I were visiting the area and walked in without a reservation. Quickly, they arranged three tables for us. Their service was receptive and accommodating, quick to help despite the hecticness. Although it was my first time, I saw many familiar faces there, which is perhaps a testimony that it is the go to Pho place amongst locals. The broth was pretty warm and rich, not too salty. There was a sizeable portion and good ratio of noodles to meat. My only complaints is that I wish the pho menu was a bit more extensive. But other than that, I was pretty pleased with the visit! read more

As a disclaimer, we haven't had pho here yet (but need to). Our experiences at Thien have been very consistent. The food is the same quality each time we go. The shrimp and noodles are a 5/5, but the chicken and rice was a 3/5, and I wouldn't get it again. The service has been very friendly each time we've been to Thien. All in all, we'd definitely recommend Thien as the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. read more

We've loved eating here for a long time but the quality of the food here has gone down quite a bit. Our biggest complaint is that the broth is sooooo unbelievably SALTY. So salty in fact, that my boyfriend and I will never eat in the restaurant itself; we always get takeout so that we can go home and pour a huge glass of water into each of our pho in order to make it actually palatable. It's a shame because we lose the flavor in the broth doing that, but honestly it's so salty that you can't taste much else if you don't. On top of that, they've gotten weirdly stingy with certain ingredients. I usually get the rare steak pho and the last several times there's been about half the meat that they used to put in. Also, the amount of lime they give you is absolutely hysterical. It's like they take one lime and cut it into 12 pieces and then give you one of those teeny tiny pieces (see pic.) This is another reason we bring the pho home - so I can cut up a lime and actually get a decent amount of juice to add to the broth (this also helps cut down on the insane salt content.) I get that inflation is crazy, but I'd rather they just raise their prices and charge what they need to in order to actually make a profit and include all of the correct portion of ingredients instead of skimping so badly. And I wish they would tone down the salt -- it could be 1/4 the amount of salt they are currently putting in and it would be perfect. I miss how good the broth used to be. read more
