Thien Phu

Hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in charlotte! They have a small menu that they do incredibly, the staff is always super friendly to us and I always order the Vietnamese iced coffee from here which I think is the best in the city!! Would recommend to anyone who really likes authentic Vietnamese food :)

Been here twice and hasn't disappointed! Don't expect anything fancy this is a hole in the wall type of place, which I find usually have the best food. The lady who works here is so sweet and is super attentive. Last time I ordered the tripe pho, the broth was flavorful and the veggies were very fresh. This time I got the pork vermicelli and it was so good. They didn't skimp on the meat and it was a good split between fatty and lean, charred to perfection. It was a big portion and my fiancé had to help me finish it. We also tried the pickled lemon juice which was interesting, it tasted like pickle juice + lemonade which honestly was good post-run. Overall this is a consistently good vietnamese place that we will be coming back to!

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.

When I came in the other day, the staff was all singing karaoke, pretty loudly. They then sat me under the speakers and continued to sing Vietnamese pop songs without turning down the volume. It was pretty funny I must say.Anyways my egg rolls (cha gio) were pretty bad. They were small and overly wrapped and fried. My broken rice (com tam) didn't seem that broken and the egg cake that came with it was disappointingly small. The pork chop they gave me was HUGE though. it was like half a pig. swear. Interestingly seasoned too, not the normal sugar lemongrass you get on grilled viet pork. Good though.

This place is a great little hole in the wall. Yes, it is slightly run down. Yes, the menu is cripplingly small. No, you shouldn't pass it up.We usually are on the look for the best pho. Today after being sick we wanted something cleansing. THe pho was light and not as flavorful as it could be. The menu did not include soft tendon which is one of our favorite pho meats, but there were a lot of things not on the menu. What was on the menu was this amazing Bun Cha which basically is a meat salad with noodles, shrimp, spring rolls, glazed pork, and shredded veg. It sounds like a lot is going on but all of the flavors together are very comforting. I would go back just for the Bun Cha.As for the Pho? I know I can find better in the queen city.

This place definitely scared me a little at first. But, now I can't imagine my life without it. I had the pork vermicelli and it was awesome! So tender and flavorful. The vermicelli was fresh and perfect. I also ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade and was pleasantly surprised. It's not the cleanest place but you can buy lottery tickets, so, it's a keeper ;)

My Go To for pho is Pho Hoa. Unfortunately when i pulled up they there was a sign that they were closed for the week. So I decided to give this place a try. My itch for pho simply wasn't scratched. The flavors were just so so. The spring rolls were tiny and fried to death. There are plenty of better options for this type of cuisine in the area.

I love this place. I always get the # 4 with spring rolls. The pork is juicy and tasty and I love the sauce that comes with it. I always get take out so can speak to the service, but I love the food.
