Lan Viet Market

I came here for a quick lunch before hitting the road, and I was decently satisfied. The grilled steak banh mi sandwich is pretty tasty, with lots of steak and spring roll veggies. The food came out quickly and it seems like they have their own nice little seating area within their corner of the North Market. I was only disappointed that they hadn't had their tea or cafe sita available since I suppose that's only a summer offering.

I was excited to come dine in on a delicious bowl of pho as I was out of town and saw wonderful reviews from here on Yelp. I saw the business hours stated they opened from 10:30am. Upon arrival at 10:32am, the man at the register informed me that they actually opened at 11am. I told him how the business hours were wrong and that he should fix it so future customers won't waste their time and he basically shrugged me off. Great service.

It's ok. It lacks some deep flavors. Service is good . Ambiance is of a fastfood market.

first time here , food was super delicious. Leo assisted us and recommended the pork banh mi . Everything was delicious especially for the price . Leo was amazing and talked to us for a little bit . I would definitely come back

Tofu pho was a great value and very tasty. I ordered it to go and it came with all of the accoutrements. Service was a little brusque.

Been coming here for a couple decades now I believe. I met the owner randomly at the Asian festival many years ago. They were closing and he didn't want to sell me anything because it wasn't fresh, so he gave me all of their leftovers, around 5 bags, with the promise that I would go visit them at the North Market. I believe I have paid him back and then some.It is the only place I eat at when I come to the market. I have been to Vietnam a few times now and the food is just as good as it is there. I have seen many different workers be there. I used to know everyone. COVID changed a lot of things. They seem to do everything To-Go style now although you do have the option to stay in eat. You used to get the phò and rice and noodle bowl in a beautiful porcelain bowl, now it all comes in tubs. The girl at the counter isn't that nice, but she has gotten better I have noticed.This is a raving review! Food suggestions:Phò is really good. Sometimes I get it split with both chicken and shrimp. Not on menu so ask.ALWAYS get the Hoison sauce and sweet chili sauce. ALWAYS put all the fixings in your phò.The sun goes nicely with the phò. Dip it in there. *chef's kiss*Rice and noodle bowl is really great. Hoison is also great. Lastly - spring roll and dip in peanut sauce unless allergic. You are officially set up and ready to go. Enjoy!

Quick service. Kind staff. Quality, authentic fresh food done the right way. Left feeling full without the "heavy" drag.

Find more reviews & photos on my Instagram @betseathot but valid take - best pho in cbus & my favorite Sunday hangover meal !! comment your fave pho place - always on the quest for a good one. Lan Viet offers amazing food, great portions for a very fair price. They are super quick and take-out friendly - easy to reheat & parking is accessible for in and out run ins. Let's Eat: Beef Pho - the 24 hour broth is to die for, the broth is the foundation and essence of pho and they crush it!! I love how the beef is barely cooked so it cooks in the broth and the toppings are simple to let everything shine through. I do wish they gave you more noodles - sometimes the ratio is off. I split this portion in half and reheat the broth separately and put the noodles and meat in at the end so you get two meals in one! 5/5 Beef Bahn Mi - the beef is perfectly marinated and grilled stuffed (literally stuffed so much meat) in a baguette and paired with pickeled vegetables and Mayo. the pickeled vegetables cut through the marinated meat. 5/5 Hot Sauce - the hot sauce gets its own bullet point cause it's perfectly spicy, seasoned, acidic - I pair this with my banh mi & pho and always ask for 2 on the side. Need them to bottle this up and sell it plz.

The North Market is my go-to to meet with friends or a quick bite when no one can decide where to go. There's something for everyone here! I have hesitated to try Lạnh Viet for awhile now, since I was born and raised in a Vietnamese household and was spoiled with delicious home cooked meals my whole life. Pho is something that I have missed when moving to Columbus. Walking by, you can smell the aroma of the Pho broth, that's a green flag. But, you can also see other people who are not Asian working.. which can raise an eyebrow. Their broth did not taste traditional, and was not as strong as their aromas. You really missed that star anaise and cinnamon in the broth and no charred onion was found. I wish there were combo meat options, opposed to just 1 meat at a time. I'm sure there's an add-on but for the price already, I would expect more than 2 meatballs cut in half. For the north market, the portion was fine, the pho came with veggies and your typical hoisin/sriracha. Definitely ask for extra! Meals were packaged neatly. Will want to try their bánh mì next, but will stay away from their pho for now.

We have a favorite Vietnamese bakery back home that we frequent so I wanted to try what Columbus had to offer! I had the Grilled Steak Banh Mi, and my wife had the Grilled Chicken. We both found them to be packed full of flavor! The steak and chicken were both tender and the veggies crisp. My only suggestion is that they make sure they use fresh French bread. My bread did not taste super fresh. It was sort of spongy and chewy. Banh Mi bread should be soft on the inside with a slight crunch to the crust. This did not have that. I guess that's one thing our place back home has going for them.
