Saw that there was a new Vietnamese restaurant closer to me than Richmond so we definitely wanted to stop by and give this a try. We stopped by at 11:04 on a Monday.
For starters, do NOT listen to your gps when it tells you to turn at the light and cut through the parking lot next door. This place has an entrance and an exit driveway right there on the front. The sign out front says something like "Lagogo" instead of Viet Huong but this is the place.
We came in and picked a seat. The lady working up front immediately brought us two waters, as well as a water bottle to refill our glasses. I liked that because I drink a lot of water.
There appeared to only be two people working; one handling the front and back, and one just cooking in the back and sometimes bringing the food out. This did mean that we had a very long time to peruse the menu while waiting on her to finish cooking in the back, bring up the food of the two tables already sitting down, and then come take our order.
The food came out relatively quickly. The pho was delicious. The broth was more beef flavored than some of the other ones I have had that are very floral. I liked it. It was a solid, good broth. The noodles were plentiful, the meat was tender and delicious.
The egg rolls were very crispy, they were good.
Ordered a bbq pork banh mi to eat there, and a beef one to take home. I will say that the sandwich I took home was not nearly as impressive as the one that we had there. When you eat it there, it is stuffed with meat and veggies. It tasted good, but we were left a little disappointed.
Overall, I'll probably be back when I am hungry and in the area. It is definitely a good option instead of driving to short pump. read more
