Huong Vietnamese Restaurant

I always come here expecting it to be something and I always leave rather disappointed. Mainly because of the banh mi, everything comes separately, and it's so long. Maybe I'm the outlier here but when I get a banh mi, I want it to be its regular size, I want the crunchy yet fluffiness of a viet banh mi with its crunchy veggies. I expect to be able to order it customizable and not just all the fixings on the side the way it comes here.Not my favorite Vietnamese place in columbus.

I found out about this place, fifteen minutes from our hotel, so we went over for our final dinner in Ohio. When we pulled in, the sign said closed, but a man just walked out. We noticed the sign said closed at 7:30, so we went in. They seated us and we ordered spring rolls and pho. The service was great, the food was great, everything was great! We were clearly the last ones there, but never rushed. We paid and I forgot my credit card there. I called once I got to the hotel, but no one picked up. I drove back over, knocked, and they answered, giving me my card. Without that, this was still a five-star place.

Huong's has been my favorite Vietnamese spot for a very long time. I have been coming here since 2015 and it's been just as amazing every single time. They staff are friendly, the restaurant itself is quint but ideal for just cozying in and enjoying your food. They have a large menu and there is truly something for everyone. It was my husbands first time trying my Vietnamese so we ordered regular spring rolls with shrimp, spring rolls without shrimp, beef pho, tofu bahn mi, and the pork and rice dish. We finished with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was so amazing but truly I think their pho is the best in Columbus. It's full of flavor and depth and perfect for the winter time. I will of course be back hopefully soon

Still so good on a cold weather! The pho and spring roll are a great combo when it's dark and cold outside. Love the simple, uncomplicated service. You come in, sit down, write the number of the dish you want and enjoy! Not too fancy place but the food and prices are so worth it!

I tried Huong's on a really cold day which was perfect because my friend and I both wanted soup!I was told by someone who backpacked through Vietnam that this was one of the few restaurants that had the same exact flavors he had in Vietnam. Such high praise!The menu is extensive! So many options! My friend and I grabbed takeout menus so that we can come back next time. I stuck with pho with rare steak, while my friend got bun bo hue. We also shared dumplings made from tapioca.Everything was delicious! I couldn't finish my noodles so I brought it home.It wasn't busy here but there were a number of people dining in. Parking shares with other businesses but it wasn't busy here.

Came here on a Wednesday around 6:45 pm. We were worried because it was less than an hour till their closing time but the man didn't hesitate as he immediately greeted us and asked how many. We chose our items quickly so they didn't have to wait on us for too long. There were 3 other small groups inside but plenty of seating for more. The inside is very casual but intimate, with Asian decorations. The bathrooms are a little old but they do the job, and you need a code to get in so ask one of the people working for it. We decided to get the #1 cha gio (fried egg rolls), the #8 banh bot loc (steamed tapioca dumplings), #21 pho tai (rare beef steak), #39A banh exp tom thit (Vietnamese crepe), and #6B chao tom (shrimp cake wrapped sugar cane skewers). The food was ready within minutes. First were the appetizers and the entrees literally a moment later. Everything was piping hot and delicious. Service was quick and friendly and you pay at the counter when you're done (like most casual Vietnamese restaurants in America). Everything was way beyond reasonably priced, very cheap for good to amazing quality food!The cha Gio was flavorful and crispy, a bit small but for $4 totally worth the 3 pieces. The fish sauce dipping sauce was perfect and not watered down too much. The tapioca dumplings were good but nothing special, good to try and fun texture but I personally would want to try other things. The shrimp skewers were also good to try and fun to eat but nothing special for me. It was cool to eat the sugar cane skewers but they lost a lot of flavor and sweetness being roasted. The pho tai was perfectly sized for me and while the broth wasn't the most flavorful I've ever had, it still hit the spot and was super cheap. There was also a good noodle to broth ratio and came with plenty of serranos, bean sprouts, basil, and lime. The banh xeo was delicious!! This was the best thing I tried (my sister came here before and got this again because it was so good) and is definitely a must try. You can cut up pieces of the crepe and place it in a piece of lettuce, then add bean sprouts, peppers, and basil and dunk in the large fish sauce with pickled veggies. The crepe is extremely crispy and has such a great texture, while the dipping sauce adds a bunch of flavor. This convinced me to try getting this at every Vietnamese restaurant I can from here on out to compare (I do this was pho tai already). Would 100% come back again. Such a good spot and friendly people!

Huong Vietnamese has been a staple for years since I moved here. I bring all my friends here! So much good food. It gets so so busy at lunch so you might have to wait a bit to get a seat! So me and my friend chilled in the car until we saw people leave. Once we came back we were seated immediately. The space is so vintage and rich. I love that they play pop elevator music and have church brown panels on the walls. It make me feel at home. With a large mural of water, boats and crabs in the art. We got a lil notepad to order our meal. And I choose the Pho Tai Bo Vien. Rare steak and beef meat ball with rice noodles and a savory beef broth. Paired with fresh greens: jalapeno, thai basil, beansprouts, and cilantro. Paired it with the tasty Cha gio deep fried egg rolls. It was so good! 5 stars for great service and consistency!

I just realized how long I haven't been back to Huong. The classic mom & pop Vietnamese Restaurant in Columbus. Filled with homey vibe and authentic food.I got a bowl of Bun Bo Hue with an order of Spring Rolls. Their version of Bun Bo Hue is more mild and subtle. And I can still taste the umami flavor as I sipping on the broth. Always come with variety meat such as Vietnamese pork sausage, beef brisket and my favorite pork knuckles.The pair of Spring Rolls is big. Loaded with lettuce, basil, pork and shrimp. To top this off, don't forget to dip it into the yummy peanut sauce.Outside from the food, my favorite part is the Vietnamese-style iced phin coffee. Love seeing the coffee drip through the Vietnamese coffee dripper. The coffee get drip to a cup that prefill with condense milk. Stir well and pour the coffee over the cup of ice. I always take this very slow, as the coffee is fairly strong.

Stopped in for lunch with my brother on a Saturday. It's a good sized restaurant with plenty of seating. We ordered the Bun Mang Moc noodle soup, the Banh Xeo, and an order of sugarcane shrimp. The sugarcane shrimp were juicy and delicious. The Bun Mang Moc was so unique! Funky and different but in the best way. The banh xeo was the highlight for us--probably the crispiest I've ever had. A bit greasy but we didn't mind. The service was quick and we saw lots of people coming in to pick up take-out orders. They have plenty of specials on the menu--dishes I've never gotten a chance to try at other Vietnamese spots. Lots of vegetarian options too! I'm really looking forward to going back soon!

Good choice for no frills Vietnamese food in Columbus. Prices are fair and menu is large and full of options you don't see at most Vietnamese restaurants. Not much ambiance and service can be on the slower side, although they make up for it with the food. We didn't try the pho, but will next time as that was what most people were ordering.
