Huong Lan Pho & Sandwiches

The food itself is great; I was just disappointed in the portion size. I usually go to the other Hong Lan location, but I was in the area so I decided to try this one. Staff was helpful and the interior, although pretty old, seemed clean. I got my food to go... here's what I got & here's what I thought: Grilled Chicken over Rice (5/5): The chicken itself is SO GOOD-- the perfect mix of sweet and salty! It's tender, flavorful, and juicy. The only downside to this plate is that I would probably have to eat 2 or 3 of these trays to actually be full. For $16, I thought the portion would be a bit bigger than just 3 small pieces of chicken.

4/08/24 Getting lunch. A major language barrier. A lot of repeating to try to confirm the order of grilled chicken vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls that I ordered. I asked to make the grilled chicken vermicelli spicy and he had issues understanding that part. He says it would be ready. I went in to get it hoping for the best! Saw the order and not at all what I wanted. It was a chicken wing, breast & leg on top of vermicelli noodles and they were plain. Nothing on them. =/ Darn language barrier. I ended up showing him pictures in the restaurant and told him that was how I wanted it. He said okay and would make it. 10 minute wait! Made fresh! Restaurant is nice. Safe & clean. Pictures of their food all over the walls. Booths and tables with chairs. Large. Lunchtime! Order split. Shrimp spring roll was fresh & Delicious! The peanut sauce with it was really good too! Grilled chicken "chow mein" was really good! Fresh veggies, tasty chicken and noodles. Even better with the hot sauce topping they include on the side. Mother said hers was Great, especially with the fresh jalapeños. Leftovers too! One order is a lot! Definitely recommended for the food, but not for the experience. Okay service. Thankfully, it all worked out. Just a bit much in getting it worked out. A process! FYI!

This place has got to be the dirtiest with the rudest employee ever. The cashier/hostess/server (one per person) was rude from the moment we walked in. Honestly we all should have left. We had a party of 3. The employee already looked annoyed when we walked in. He said sit anywhere. When we found a spot, he came out immediately and asked what we wanted. We asked for a menu and he rolled his eyes with a huff. He expected we knew what we wanted because we're Asian I guess? When he comes back, he tosses ONE menu for the three of us to look at on the table instead of handing it me when my hand was out. I told my party I didn't want to eat here and let's leave but one still wanted to eat here. I proceeded to look at the menu despite not wanting to eat here. I ended up ordering a Vietnamese specialty sandwich combination of 1 and 2. There was more bread than the filling and definitely not enough pate. My friend got a medium meatball pho (watered down and too sweet), (ask for extra noodles - no extra charge) . My other friend ordered steamed rice with veggies/chicken (it was ok but oily). We also ordered shrimp pork spring rolls but it had a lot of noodles and lettuce, shrimps were cut in half and pork was extremely thin to even taste it. Dipping sauce had good flavor. Our cashier/host/sever never checked on us never brought our drinks that we asked for, only water, never brought us our check. We had to go to the front counter to get our check and to pay up front as well. The floor needed some sweeping and definitely mopping. Bathroom smelled a mix of cleaning products and mold. I will never in my life ever come back here. What a shame to our Vietnamese culture and food.

My family and I come often but, sadly we won't be coming to this location anymore, it is just so dirty inside, the camera's and fan's have the thickest layer of dust on them, the floors are so dirty and the door has so many smudges, the walls and are dirty and sticky, mind you this was at noon, so this is not a day's problem this has been going on for some time, I've been hoping for it to change. Honestly, just made me not want to eat the food just thinking what the kitchen looks like. Really hope management will deep clean and sanitize because I would love to continue to support this location.

Gotta update the review... First off, I am not sure if they changed owners.. But the last time I went in there and probably the last, the food was different. The Peanut sauce was was not the usual kind and didn't even taste like peanut sauce. The Shrimp and pork roll was off as well... had this weird tangy flavor.. it was not the usually pork ball that they used to have. This place used to have some consistently good food, but not sure wha happened.

Walked in at 12:30pm as a party of 3. Plenty of seating. Got greeted and got waters right away upon seating Food came pretty quickly as well. Everything was fantastic.

Our third visit and that time we stay an eat there. They have plenty of room and tables to seat. The waiter was friendly but not too attentive. We had to be looking for him to ask for sauce. They didn't have it on the table. My daughter order her usual as pe the last visita. She likes the Pork short ribs with rice. They add some salad with it. My husband tried the shaking beef with rice and some salad. He got In love with this dish. He loved the take, the meat was so tender and flavorful. It's was not overcooked. Just perfect. My soup was on point. I wish they have vegetables broth. Since it's been a while since I ate any meat the soup tasted with too much chicken flavor. I had to put some sauces to get rid of the flavor. This is just me because I don't eat meat. For other people this would be delicious! So, after I put more lemon and siracha it tasted delicious. I really wanted some soup. Prices have gone up but this is everywhere. So just be prepared.

The food is prey good, but I wish they give it more amount of food that charged. I really like this place.

We were around the neighborhood and decided to come back and give this place a shot. Was greeted when we walked in, was told to grab a menu and find a seat. There were a few people dining in but we were helped rather quickly. My wife ordered a pork and shrimp spring roll and a house special pho while I order the rice plate with pork chop and egg. The spring roll was decent. The sauce was a bit too thick for our liking. Also, they cut off both ends of the spring roll so it gets a bit messy when eating it. I'm not sure why my pork chop came out before the pho but it did. I had requested for no green onions and it came out as requested. The pork chop was a bit on the sweeter side for me. The portion was enough to fill me up. Was hoping for a running yolk but it was cooked, still good though. The pho was really good. They gave a really good portion of meat and noodles. Even though I helped my wife eat some, she still didn't finish her bowl.Plenty of parking since it's in a bigger shopping area. A lot of seating as well. They have started offering sugarcane drinks as well for those who want some.

The service was okay but the food was disgusting. No flavor at all. I didn't finish the fried rice or the pho. Don't recommend at all. The fried rice was just steamed rice with eggs and dry meat. The pho broth was straight water.
