Pho Hung Cuong Restaurant

Wow so sad this place has taken such a downturn!!! I stopped by yesterday for their beef stew pho with egg noodles and let me say: sad day.The aromatic flavors were just not there. Gone were the ginger, cinnamon and earthy tones that made the broth previously something I'd travel across town for.I also got the summer rolls with beef. Filler with nothing but inedible gristle. They should really just not be serving food ATP. The service was also terrible. Used to be a great place 3-4 years ago, not sure what happened but won't be back. Paid $30 for inedible food. Sad sad day.

I've only ordered via DoorDash so far so I can't speak to the service or ambiance. But the food: Their grilled beef pho is FIREEE! First time having the grilled meat in my pho and it's my new favorite. The broth is delicious and they didn't miss on any of the add ins. Must try! The combination fried rice is delicious too. The Vietnamese egg roll is just alright. It's pretty big though so it's good for sharing. Ordered the wings and it was a pass for me. I just like my chicken crispy, extra crispy even without the fry batter.

First time here and it did not disappoint! We were treated so nicely as we enter the restaurant. We ordered the fresh spring rolls, fried egg rolls, and steamed bun as an appetizer. The main entree was (2) orders of the Pho special it has brisket, tendon, meatball and tripe. In addition, we ordered a grilled pho (basically has pho broth and noodles and the grilled beef as the protein on the side). The broth was good just a bit under seasoned for me and a little more on the greaser side than what I typically like. Either way, it satisfied my Pho craving! I'll definitely be coming back to try out the other items on the menu.

I ordered the Teriyaki chicken. They don't cook the chicken in the teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce is on the side. Both the rice and chicken were very dry and flavorless. I was very dissatisfied with my meal.

Food is just very average here-- scratches the pho itch, but there really aren't many great options in the area. Not an exciting place to go. Service and ambiance is fine.

When ordering, I ordered Thai tea with boba not knowing they didn't have boba but instead of telling me. They brought me the tea which is fine but at least tell the customer what they are going to get. I ordered pho ga and the pho was oily and hard to eat. The chicken was undercooked and I didn't complain to the staff but it's hard to support a business who doesn't accommodate the customer. They took my order and never spoke to me again, I wouldn't come again but I'm glad I tried this place

This is legitimately one of the weirdest places I've ever been. And strangely enough, I want to go back because I know I'm bound to experience something cray. I don't know how to truly articulate all of this, so here are my thoughts: :: The initial draw for me was the name (#1), which is atypical and if anything, somewhat prominent. Also the fact it's perched upon a hill in a standalone building and hard to miss from the highway. It's like its own billboard.:: Supposedly the place is Chinese-Vietnamese, yet no one speaks Chinese (#2). The pricey'ish menu understandably leans more toward Viet, but the Chinese items are mainly American-Chinese dishes (#3) to attract diners who don't know any better.:: The food is not inedible, but it's not particularly great either. I've never had pho served in such a square bowl before and I've also never had thit nuong with it. The latter was sweeter than I'm used to. Cha gio is definitely of the tau variety with the crinkly skin and a bit pricey at nearly $7 for one (big'ish) roll. The beef & broccoli is pretty mediocre but the com tam rice plate was probably the most passable thing I tried.:: Service is a bit of a hot mess. I realize it's family owned / operated but there was a lot of cluelessness with the staff and the pace really needs some picking up. If the food were not so up to par, the service would be the biggest downer.:: Super random bit: They have pies for sale ($13) near the entrance. I realize this is also a bakery, but Vietnamese food and whipped pies, cheesecakes and donuts? Okay.:: More randomness: There's a stage just behind the pie stand. An actual stage for live music, performing acts, etc. For now, there's the owner and his computer desk, which may seem somewhat awkward at first, but is kind of amazing at the same time.:: The most random bit: There are back rooms that are hidden from the main dining area. I figured it was a bar since I saw a ton of older dudes back there drinking (and playing poker?) but there's also a bar out front. The real kicker was these scantily clad females going in and out of the place. I'm not suggesting anything illegal is happening but it definitely looked tad shady. (#4) With so many cars in the parking lot but a near empty restaurant (dining side) suddenly all made sense.__________(#1) Hung Cuong as in "Mighty" or "Powerful" or "Formidable"(#2) Typical in Texas. Flip it around and now you have New York.(#3) Think moo goo gai pan, lemon/orange/cashew chicken, general tso's, etc.(#4) Thanks for the invite, fellas.

I love soupy pho broth on a chilly day!!!!! We ordered variations of the beef pho and the serving size was huge and the broth was impeccable The meatballs had a slightly weird texture so I wouldn't recommend that if you don't like chewy-sausage like meatballs, but the combo pho seemed to have large servings of beef! The servers kind of stay out of ur way after serving you and the booths r very nice and ~relatively~ secluded so this would be a cute casual date spot! slurp yummy pho I wuv wuv pho noods

If you're hankering for pho in San Antonio, this place is the closest purveyor to the university at seven minutes away. The interior is a dated Asian feel from the 1980s, which isn't all bad as it's pretty typical even in Asia. They have an assortment of flatscreen TVs showing international cooking, dramas, and sports, all muted. They take care of you here with diligence. As I've lived in Seattle much of my life, I've been to a LOT of pho restaurants and this place is a solid place to eat. The pho options are HUGE so bring your appetite. And their spring rolls are the traditional unfriendly rolls with yummy peanut sauce. The menu has many other Vietnamese dishes that I look forward to having in the future, so they have much more than just Pho.

I wouldn't know because their website says they close at 10pm but at 8:48pm they said they're closed when we walked in. Bad business, update your times on on all platforms so people don't waste their time driving to come eat!
