The Most Flavorful Vietnamese in Charlotte

Viet-Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (76)

"Amazing takeout experience! I ordered the pho ga and some summer rolls and they exceeded my expectations.The summer rolls were massive and very good. The pho ga had fresh ingredients and some of the best chicken I've ever had in pho. Ordering on their website was super easy and everything was packaged in a way that made it easy for me to enjoy my delicious pho at home. I really enjoyed the experience!"

Yummi Banh Mi Truck

★★★★★ 4.6 (65) • $

"This was my first time trying a banh mi and I'm a fan! I went with the sweet bbq pork and the meat was tender and very flavorful. I went with all of the toppings and would've even preferred more jalapenos - I like it spicy!The food was served up quickly. In addition to the banh mis, they had rice bowls and pho.If you see this truck in your hood or business park, definitely stop by and give them a try!"

Pho & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (112) • $$

"We love this place, sushi is good, Pho is amazing, try the spring rolls!, great service, chill atmosphere.Try it if you haven't."

Le's Sandwiches & Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (425) • $

"Great spot worth making an effort to seek out. I finally got down there to try the roast pork belly they've introduced recently. It's available in banh mi fork or by the pound. I got the banh mi. Absolutely incredible. Have had the grilled pork previously and that is awesome, too. They have other Vietnamese delicacies and treats available--iced coffee is delicious and they also have some boba drinks. People there are fantastic, as well. An oasis of Vietnamese awesomeness in Charlotte!"

Banh Mi Brothers

★★★★★ 4.5 (515) • $$

"Wanted something different for lunch and Banh Mi Brothers had a great solution to my craving. Ordered the Porchetta - Heo Quay at the counterand about 7-10 minutes later they brought the sander to my table. The bread can really hold up to the meat and sauce. The meat itself was flavorful. The kimchi provided a cool, crispy contrast to the meat and bread. Put it all together and there's a lot going on in this sandwich!There are several tables inside and even a few on the patio m. With the quick service this could easily be a go-to for a quicker, tasty lunch."

Pho Quynh

★★★★☆ 4.4 (100) • $$

"Really great pho place!! My favorite recently shut down and this was highly rated, so I decided to give it a try. It has quickly topped the ranks! It's really the only place I'll go to because the flavor of their broth is so tasty and they give a generous portion, plus no shortage of toppings. There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant, so you can eat in or get takeout. Takeout has never taken more than 10 minutes for me to pick up, so they are on it! Keep that in mind when ordered. Enjoy!!!"

1368 Sweet Corner Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (52) • $$

"Was not feeling well, so I asked hubby to pick up some beef pho. The packaging for carry out is impressive and perfect so that you can throw the fresh ingredients in when you get home. The flavor was very good.... but not as good as Lang Van. The strawberry boba milk tea was the best part of the meal. So much flavor ! I also got a chicken and rice dish. Wowza, this was unexpectedly spicy. I love spicy food, so not a problem for me. However, for other folks, be warned. The chicken was dark meat. Both items had large portions. The menu looks interesting and I'd love to return and try out more items. I will definately be back !"

Rice & Spice Thai Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (247) • $$

"Preface, we've ordered take out from here 3x. This is our first time dining in. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated immediately. There was a big dinner party next to us and the waiter informed us he can put in our order when we are ready because it will take a little more time due to the party. I was craving Thai food because of their bold, deep, savory and spicy flavors. We ordered dishes from the menu that we have not had before and let me tell you it did not disappoint. We ordered the Rice n Spice wings, Som Tom with Crab (Spicy), Roasted Duck Curry, and the Shaking Beef. Dinner was delicious and every bite was sooooooooooo good!!!! If you're in the mood for Thai food this is the spot!!"

Pho NC Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (71)

"I don't remember what I ordered, but I know it was some kind of chicken with rice and vegetables and it was good! Not only that, but they give you a good portion. Well, they give you a good portion for a Vietnamese meal, but the prices are a little high if you're seeking value. Nevertheless, I recommend it. Very tasty. Staff is also friendly."

Pho Nam

★★★★☆ 4.3 (194) • $$

"Just moved from South End to Huntersville and was craving some good pho. I stopped by Pho Nam, and I'm glad I did! It's a real hidden gem--nothing fancy, just a cozy, authentic spot that feels very much like a classic Asian eatery. You seat yourself, and the staff brings water to your table.I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, Goi Cuon (fresh shrimp rolls), Goi Cuon Dau Hu (fresh tofu rolls), and Tau Hu Xao Xa Ot (tofu with lemongrass and hot pepper). Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The pho had a rich broth with generous portions of meat, and the rolls were light and refreshing. Cannot forget the peanut sauce, it brings a lot to the rolls. The tofu dish had a great balance of spice and aroma from the lemongrass.Service was friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. If you're looking for delicious, no-frills Vietnamese food in Huntersville, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!"

Mẹ Viet Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (169) • $$

"We only got to pick up some handhelds from here since we needed to eat on the go although I was tempted to get the pho. The bahn mi was delicious! Perfectly seasoned meat and fresh fillings. The shrimp summer rolls with the peanut sauce though were a little underwhelming.Service was great. Our food was ready reasonably fast and the whole process was simple and quick. Parking can be a little tight. I hope to try more food here someday and hopefully update my review with more details!"

Lula Banh Mi And Bakery

★★★★★ 4.7 (120) • $

"Love this place! Best bahn mi I've ever had. I also like the pate chaud. The matcha milk tea with boba is also one of my favorites. I've tried the food hall in the shopping center for the same items and never again. Won't be cheating on Lula. Every single time I've ordered from here it never disappoints."

Pho 777 Vietnamese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (124) • $

"The location is not exactly close to the center of town, but the food quality was very good and the prices were in-line with other pho/Vietnamese restaurants I've visited. The selection of Pho varieties is what drew me to Pho777 and it did not disappoint. I tried the Pho Tai Nam rare beef and brisket. I did notice the soup base didn't seem to be beef-based, but still very delicious. The meat was great quality, well portioned, and the garnishes also well portioned. I also had a side of the fried spring rolls and they were delicious. All in all, a good visit but... if you order the Pho as carryout; remember to BUY A PHO BOWL as it's pretty difficult to combine all the various ingredients in the quart container of broth without any space. I had to cobble together a system using a couple of cereal bowls from my hotel room to divide everything and make a meal out of it. I saw the bowls listed for $1 when I checked out but it didn't even dawn on me that I would need one until I got back to my room!"

Tres Amigos

★★★★☆ 3.6 (11)

"We all decided to come in to dine at Tres last minute on our grandfathers recommendation.I ended up getting a special 3 for 4.50$ tacos.Service was great, the two ladies were consistently checking in and getting refills. Got to watch some football on the big screen and relax as it is nice and relatively quiet Inside. We will be back !"

Doan's Vietnamese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (382) • $$

"If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food/pho, this is the place for you! I have been searching for a place like this in Charlotte for a long time! Their broth is phenomenal - both depth and flavor. The meat is surprisingly tender and delicious. Portion sizes are good. Service is usually quick, with the exception of my last visit. I have been disappointed by many places in Charlotte for pho, but this place does it right. Best pho in Charlotte! Highly recommend!"

Pho Van

★★★★★ 4.8 (44)

"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."

Central Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81) • $

"This is a small and cute cafe in a shopping plaza towards the older side of Plaza Midwood. I ordered the Bulgogi banh mi with no cilantro and it was tasty! The beef was cooked and then doused with bulgogi sauce as it was evident it was not marinaded in it... so obviously don't order the Korean fusion banh mi if you want something authentic! There was real kimchi on it too so I was pleased with that. I also got the mango peach green tea with mango jelly and that was delicious!! There are tons of tea flavors and options to choose from. There is limited seating in this tea house so don't expect to fit a group or work with your laptop and lots of books. However, the staff is super friendly and everything is clean and tidy. I recommend it!"

Ben Thanh Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (159) • $$

"I was surprised how large the interior is because from the outside, it looks small. They have a wide menu selection and are quick with preparing the food. I tried their Bo Kho (Street Side Beef Stew: beef shank with tendons and carrots, which comes with choice of rice noodles, egg noodles, or French bread, $15.95). I was very impressed with how tender and juicy the beef was! The chunks of beef were so delicious. The broth was so-so, and the carrots did not taste good though. I was surprised that the broth was not more flavorful, but I do recommend the beef."

Be's Noodles & Banh Mi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (432) • $$

"We stumbled into Be's Noodles on a whim one Saturday afternoon and I'm so glad we did! We got chicken pho, beef pho, and a lemongrass bahn mi to share. The bahn mi sandwich was incredible! The meat was packed with flavor and delivered a sort of spicy/sweet experience. The pickled veggies on top of the sandwich added a fresh crunch that I kept going back for. I'm not a big pho person but this broth was the most flavorful and savory that I've had in recent memory. The chicken in my pho was overcooked and chewy but other than that, everything was really tasty! The pho portion is huge and we both left with leftovers. The bahn mi was about the size of a footlong sub so I don't think I could have finished one by myself. We want to go back and try some of their appetizers!"

Banh Sen Noodle Bar & Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.1 (35)

"Great meal and even greater service! I saw a post on Facebook and decided to try the restaurant out. They have outdoor and indoor sitting and very beautiful ambiance. I was impressed with both of the servers making recommendations and guiding me to choices that fit what I wanted. I will be returning. ***l made a to-go order of pot stickers and spicy house ramen (it wasn't too spicy)"

Sakura Japanese Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (47) • $$

"My wife and I got there at 5:15 Friday pm. Third couple to be sat down. Ordered within 10 mins. 2 sushi rolls and a order of Crab Rangoon. An hour and ten minutes later, the rolls and Rangoon come out. Food was good. But not worth the wait. No communication from staff the entire time we were waiting to explain why the wait was so long, or anything. And they don't serve alcohol! If you are going to make someone wait that long, the least you could do is keep them happy with some alcohol while they wait. And there's a Mexican restaurant next door that does, so I know it's not due to their location. The napkin holders said they had all kinds of beer and wine, so those were evidently bought off of ebay or taken from a previous restaurant that did serve alcohol and they were too lazy too remove them before putting them out. Not very special of an atmosphere either and the service was non existent. Definitely need to step up their game and they could be a lot better. Don't let complacency sit in."

Take-Out Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Cute, clean, friendly, Pho was good but overall average. Kind of took a while for the food to be prepared."

Lula Banh Mi and Pho

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"I think Lula Banh Mi and Pho recently opened the Arboretum Shopping Center. Compared to the original Lula Banh Mi and Bakery, this one offers noodle soups, which is really nice! I had heard a lot of good things about Lula in terms of their banh mi, but I never tried it until recently and I am glad that I did. The restaurant itself is a decent size and there are several tables and chairs for people with different group sizes to come and dine-in. The service was good and quick, I did not think that my food took too long to come out. I ordered the Lychee Fruit Tea at regular ice levels and 75% sugar levels. I am glad that I lessened the sugar level because I thought that my drink tasted pretty good. I could taste the tea and the lychee flavor and it worked well together. I also got the Crispy Pork Belly Banh Mi. Usually, I go for cold cuts but I was intrigued by this combination. I really liked the taste of the pork belly (which was very crispy) with the sandwich itself. I also liked the pickled daikon and carrots, which I feel help carry a banh mi. My only complaint is that I wish there was more aioli in the banh mi that I got as it felt a bit dry, especially with the crispy pork belly itself being the main star of the sandwich. I split the Egg Rolls and Chicken Wings with my friends which were both yummy! The Egg Rolls were perfectly hot and crispy and the house fish sauce paired well with it. The Chicken Wings were really juicy and crispy, which I liked dipping into the sweet chili sauce. I would come here next time to try another banh mi, perhaps a cold cut, to really test which restaurant has the best banh mi, haha, and to try their noodle soups. But I think everyone should definitely check this new spot out! There is a lot of good food on the menu."

Hello Me Vietnamese Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (211) • $$

"Outstanding.. the waitresses were extra nice, she went over the menu with us. The only thing I'll say is the spring-roll was burnt or the oil needs changed. It tasted burnt."

Saigon Palace

★★★★☆ 4.1 (329) • $$

"Love their vermicelli entrees. Excellent portions which makes the price fair. I always get combination plate and they didn't mind me substitute the meatball for extra pork. I tried someone different tonight and got Mongolian Beef from the Chinese section of the menu. It was spicy and the beef a little tough but edible. I didn't realize it on the menu but the text is in red but a bit spicy than I'm use to. Mustard sauce spicy. It's great they had Chinese egg rolls and they are huge. The service is attentive and fast. I made my order quick tonight and they were busy but it didn't take long at all."

Akahana Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.5 (413) • $$

"Akahana remains at the top of my list for asian food in Charlotte!! Every time I eat here, I always get the best and most consistent food!When I dine in, the customer service is always great! The owners are so kind and courteous. When I order take out, the food is always ready very quickly!The prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are very good! There's plenty of parking in the parking lot!I recommend the pho, pad thai, and buy one get one free sushi!!"

Cilantro Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.3 (330) • $$

"BUN BO HUE (Spicy Beef Noodle) is what I had for lunch. What is that........I'll tell you. Thick noodles with sliced beef shank, eye round steak and pork meatloaf (think of fried spam), all swimming in a sea of spicy beef broth. Well, it's not spicy.....at all. First time trying #Pho. It was a flavorful mixture of goodness. I still have no clue what that clear gelatin item was in my Pho. ‍The steamed dumplings were basic. I dunked them in my Leftover Noodle soup. There are other dishes I want to try so I'll be back. #GratuityAdded #charlottefood #cltfood #cltfoodie #CilantroNoodle #Phoreal #clteats #BryceYoung #charlotteeats #charlottesgotalot #CLThangouts #exploreclt #cltfoodies #eatdrinkclt #keeppounding #Charlit #bestfoodcharlotte #cltfoodbloggers  #goodeats #CarolinaPanthers  #charlotterestaurants #cltagenda #vietnamesefood  #vietnamese #asianfood #PHO #vietnamesecuisine #dumplings #noodlesoup"

Thien Phu

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8)

"We came for pho but I have a feeling that the banh mi is their signature dish, so we'll have to come back for that. Service was friendly but very slow. I was tempted to give 3 stars but recognize that, at this type of place, you need to set your expectations appropriately. It's a very casual, almost street food like, atmosphere with Keno papers on each table and overworked speakers blaring unusual soundtracks sometimes consisting of just sound effects of fireworks. But the employees were nice and the pho was good. Definitely prefer Pho Hoa across the street for pho, but I'd like to come back here again for the banh mi."

Pho Ngon

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (150) • $$

"We were in town for the weekend and saw that there was a pho restaurant just down the street from our hotel. The food and service were fantastic. The broth with the pho was top notch. Next time I am in town would definitely go back"

Kairu Sushi and Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (65) • $$

"Looking for a great sushi and noodle spot in the Lake Norman Area? Make your way to Kairu Sushi and Noodle Bar @kairusushi - located in Huntersville, NC. It's a great addition to the area and just minutes from Birkdale Village. The restaurant is spacious with murals throughout. They have so many options on their menu - appetizers, soups and salads, sushi, ramen, pho and hibachi and a kids menu. They also have a great lunch menu with combos and specials to choose from!My favorites were the Spicy Dynamite Mussels, the Tonkotsu Black Ramen, the Volcano Roll sushi and the sashimi spread! The food was really good, flavorful and came in large quantities! You will not be disappointed!Their grand opening celebration will be on Saturday, February 10th and they'll have specials, line dancing and other fun things!Food Pictured:Spicy Dynamite Mussels Tonkotsu Black Ramen Volcano Roll Sushi Chef's Select Sashimi #JBEATZCLT #kairusushiandnoodlebar #japanese #sushi #sashimi #noodles #ramen #pho #tonkotsu #huntersville #lakenorman #LKN #lunch #dinner #foodreview #foodlover #Foodie #foodstagram #foodtok #charlotte #CLTEats #clt #queencity"

House of Eggroll & Pho

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Large portions, quick and friendly service, and relaxed environment. Definitely will come back again for the Pad Thai special. Glad to have a new unique restaurant to visit in Taylorsville!"

Pho @ University

★★★★☆ 4.3 (65) • $$

"I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and a spring roll for takeout. The food was okay, nothing stood out, but it wasn't bad either. It's a decent option if you're looking for something quick and affordable. I might try something different on the menu next time to see if it stands out more."

Pho Huong Que

★★★★☆ 4 (201) • $$

"Came here on a rainy Saturday. Their spicy BBH was so good. Our server Anna was very nice and friendly."

Be’s Noodles & Banh Mi

★★★★★ 4.5 (77) • $$

"Solo Monday lunch at Be's did not disappoint! Everyone in the restaurant was eating alone, so it did not feel strange to do so. Ate and read my book for an hour. Fresh spring rolls were delicious! Saved one for a snack later. The pho was amazing too. It's hard to find pho that has flavorful broth, but they did it. Wish the noodles were more spread out in the bowl, but that's the only thing I would change! They have large cups for water by the door, which is very nice. Bathroom was clean."

Saigon Garden

★★★★☆ 3.9 (83) • $

"For Vietnamese food, I think this is the best you'll find in the area. I've been eating here for at least 10 years, specifically because of the vegetarian/vegan options and the boba tea! I absolutely love the way that they fry their tofu. It is DELICIOUS! The spring rolls, vegan or not, are definitely worth the price and the very first thing I would suggest any new customer try! Their bubble tea is frozen, more like a smoothie, but the taro is amazing! The waiters are so prompt, patient and friendly. The atmosphere is casual, and the pricing is very good even in today's economy. Plus, they have take out and a drive thru! Closed on Tuesdays! Vietnamese cuisine is not for everyone, as it has a very unique flavor, but if you're a fan of Pho or anything else- you must try Saigon Garden! Ps. You can substitute the broth in the soups for veggie broth if you're vegan, and the milk in the bubble tea for almond milk!"
