    Entry to the restaurant from the office building side.
    Tran H.

    Searched for something warm and saw this place and was curious because of its name. So we decided to try this place. At first it was a bit confusing when the "map" tells you to go through a business building (not realizing there's also a front entry) and follow the sign. The restaurant was small and quaint and had some customers. The gentleman that helped us to our table was very nice, welcoming, and attentive. Anyways... the menu was simple, I ordered the combo pho and my partner ordered the steak pho. It came out within a few minutes. I tried the broth without putting anything in it and it was a bit bland to me (I think it was missing the "umami") then I seasoned it with hoisin, sriracha, pepper, lemon and added basil leaves, and the soup tasted better. They give tons of noodles, a bit skimpy on the protein. I honestly would visit this place again compared to some other pho restaurants in NC. Super easy check out.

    The broth at this place Kicks any other spot in Winston out the competition. It's like they've been cooking it for days. Put this broth over anything and it knocks. So the Lrg. Combination is what I get mostly and every time I have to sit down to enjoy it. I don't take it to go unless I have left overs. The service here is friendly and welcoming. The teenagers that work are well trained and motivated. They have options to sit outside or indoors.

    P1 Rare Steak Pho
    Kay M.

    Today we had the pleasure of trying the chicken and beef fried rice--and wow, where do I even start? This place continues to amaze me every single time. I've tried many other Asian restaurants in Winston, and this one is hands down my favorite. If you've been waiting for a sign to come eat here, this is it! We also had the grand pleasure of trying their flan. As someone who's Hispanic, I've had my fair share of flan--but I can honestly say I preferred theirs. It has this subtle coffee flavor that I absolutely adore. Don't be afraid to try something new--stop by and treat yourself. You won't regret it!

    I highly recommend What the Pho!!! The ambiance is amazing, and the food is delicious. The service was great, and a kind waiter taught us how to make the perfect dipping sauce. If you want good food and good vibes, totally come here. 10/10

    Rare beef pho with meatballs
    Luisa Y.

    Love this place so much! The pho has such a flavorful broth it is perfect! They offer two bowl sizes regular and large which I love. Everyone is always so friendly and the restaurant is so lovely. If you love pho and haven't tried them yet you need to.

    Pork Bahn Mi - small, small amount of filling, pate not included
    Fred B.

    After my initial visit, I came back to try the Bahn Mi sandwiches here. This is an item that is in scare supply in the WS area! I ordered one Pork ($6.50) and one Beef ($6.95). This is a rather small sandwich, the roll is no more than 6", and the protein filling is more than a little lite. Other than the protein, the ingredients are house mayo, pickled carrots, pickled, daikon, cucumber, and cilantro - the mayo was very thinly applied, and there was no pate, a very traditional item for this sandwich. The sandwiches were just OK , not nearly as good as the ones in Greensboro and Kernersville. All in all, these sandwiches are over price for what you get!

    First time trying this place and it was excellent! Has that hole in the wall city vibe that emanates authenticity. Food is simply done and extremely flavorful, you can tell the pho is made fresh daily. Owner operated by a great little family (husband/wife/son) that provides diligent service! All around we had a great experience and will be back regularly. -tofu lettuce wraps perfectly prepared. Very Savory and not overly salty, I would have a hard time choosing the chicken over tofu in the future it was that good! - Rare Steak and Meatball Pho This was hands down the best pho I've had in Winston or NC for that matter. Very fresh and extremely flavorful and aromatic. As soon as you hit the door you can smell it! The rare steak was cooked perfect but surprisingly liked the meatball best! Thin noodles and a health side of bean spouts, cilantro, and jalapeño on the side. -Beef Bahn Mi Truly a standout and my favorite part of the meal! The bread is really what sets it apart. Perfect ratio of meat to cucumber/carrot/onion. Hit with a little siracha and it was damn good! Will definitely be trying the pork next time

    Love this home-family business! Best pho in town with plenty of meat and toppings on the side. Bahn Mi was soft and flavorful. Staff was super friendly and more than happy to offer recommendations and split our checks as well. We came right at opening and it took a little while for one of the staff members to finish their meal before coming over to take our order. This place was also a little tricky to find - I wish they had more signage outside the building! Would definitely come back!

    Tofu pho (Vegan)!
    Lane L.

    My fiancé and I LOVE this restaurant. Family owned, excellent location, always lovely energy. 10000/10! Very very accommodating to dietary restrictions (I'm vegan). Not to mention the best pho we've ever had! Definitely make sure to try the tofu summer rolls with peanut sauce as well. Simply cannot recommend this place more! What Da Pho is Winston's hidden gem!!!

    A friend asked me to try this place, and I came away pleasantly surprised. The location is a bit odd, buried in the first floor of the Liberty Plaza building. I think this used to be a soul food restaurant back in the day. They've done a nice job on the interior. The staff were very nice and pretty attentive. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and a large rare steak and meatball pho. My friend ordered something similar. The pho was very good, amazing broth, and the large was really big. I had to take a bit home. Would definitely come back.

    Excellent first experience!

    We continue to be huge fans of this place. The food is always on point. We love the rare beef pho and shrimp vermicelli. Fresh and delicious. Good service. And the pork egg roles are yummy!

I ordered food all three times and each time the taste seemed to have improved. The first time I got the Caprese and it was very dry. It literally had three ingredients in it, I think the cheese just was too cold and didn't do it for me while on the contrary, the sourdough bread was very burnt and the entire sandwich was just very dry and disappointing.If you want a good safe option, the short rib melt Is really good. The drinks at the bar are also really good. I will also note the ambiance is amazing, I love the way they decorated everything and I feel like it's really fitting for such a historical place, everything seemed very niche and clean which I admired. I will say the service from Lauren Stone was amazing. She was great, she was very kind and held conversation with myself and my boyfriend and recommended and made some really good drinks. The service is really what tops the overall experience. If someone is very genuine and upfront, there's not much that they can't come back from. There's lots of redeeming qualities in a restaurant through people that have humility and really seem to care in my book so I will say this place is honestly a must try.

The setup is simple: get in the single file line, look over the menu overhead while moving forward, and then place your order. The staff at the counter was very pleasant and quick to answer any questions we had. I went with the quarter chicken (dark meat) paired with the sweet potato fries and corn salad. Available beverages range from speciality fruit beverages, to bottled water, to Pepsi brand fountain drinks and of course, sweet/unsweet tea. I opted to go with just plain water. I was then given a number to place on the table of my choosing and wait for my order to be delivered. The dining room appeared clean with lots of seating. The music was a little loud for my taste, but it was probably the concrete floors and open ceilings that were more to blame for that. There is an adjoining glass window patio section that's much quieter, but it's not climate-controlled and it was pretty humid on the day of our visit, so we stayed in the main dining room and picked a table in the back. Our entrees came out in a timely fashion, and everything looked great. The chicken was moist and very tasty. The sweet potato fries could have been a little crispier in my opinion, but they tasted great. The corn salad was very refreshing. One of the staff came by to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Kudos for that follow-up. Viva Chicken is definitely on our "must return" list.
