Pho Golden Cow

BLUF: very good food in a casual setting at a reasonable priceI'm a major banh mi fan, so we went here to try it out for lunch on a Saturday. Frankly never heard of it until I did a yelp search. The place is pretty small and casual, perhaps 9 small tables. The staff was friendly, and the food came out promptly.We ordered Banh mi (of course), spring rolls, and beef loin pho. The spring rolls came with peanut sauce, very fresh and crunchy. The pho was rich and aromatic, although they don't give as much or as varied a number of vegetables as most pho places. Still, it was very good. The banh mi was on the perfect crunchy bread and the pork was delicious. That said, they actual amount of pork was kind of scant. Could have used about 50% more to really fill out the bun. So, bottom line is what I had was delicious, just could have used a bit more of it. The waitress took a long time to refill our water, but other than that service was fast.I'd go back though. The positives outweigh the negatives, and it's convenient and fast.

This is a textbook Vietnamese restaurant with friendly and quick service. The decorum is on par with pho restaurants, featuring Asianized cover songs running in the background. The bowl of pho was everything I expected: flavorful and hot with plenty of meat and garnish. The Sriracha sauce was legit Huy Fong Foods. Lastly, my Vietnamese iced coffee was strong, just as I like it. I plan to return and try the bbq dishes.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. - A dang fine pho experience. Wife and i ordered takeout on a Friday night. She got the standard pho soup (w/ well-done flank steak, large, $14.75,) I got a beef stew noodle soup ($15.75). Both were big helpings - easily a second meal or light second meal if you're a big eater. Beef stew had a rich meaty broth, big hunks of stew meat, chunks of carrot. The pho had plenty of meat. Large bag of sprouts, lime wedges, etc. - you definitely won't be lacking those. Sits in a storefront in a busy shopping plaza but plenty of parking. Restaurant itself is clean, staff friendly and quick - order took 15 min.We'd go back. Not a Wow! experience but rock solid and really good value for the price.

We recently drove from Brooklyn, NY to Greensboro, NC, and decided to get dinner around the halfway point. I searched for Vietnamese restaurants on Google, and this looked like a great option from the picture. We are questioning the practicality of the drive we made, but I can assure you that stopping into Pho Golden 5 Stars was an excellent choice.We arrived about an hour and a half before closing on Sunday, and no one was in the restaurant. The owner was behind the counter and was immediately so nice! Not many vegetarian options on the menu aside from appetizers and the vegetarian pho - luckily, this is exactly what I wanted. It was cold that night and instantly warmed me up. Delicious, robust broth that barely needed anything added.The owner also put on some great TV for us, so now I know what street food to look out for - dinner and education!If I am ever in the area, I will pop back in for good food and good conversation.

Yummy!!! Had been craving good pho and Vietnamese egg rolls and their fresh spring rolls and this place seriously hit the spot! Stopped in a little before 7pm on a Friday evening and we were the only ones there but it soon got pretty busy. They also seemed to have a steady stream of pick-up orders as well. The egg rolls had a delicious flavorful filling and were hit off the fryer. Good dipping sauce as well. I wish I had one right now! The fresh spring rolls were also delicious and came with a nice peanut hoisin sauce! I had the chicken pho and it was so good and flavorful! The broth was so tasty, this has set the bar pretty high for good pho broth! Lots of chicken and noodles were also included. My husband got the stir fry chicken and he enjoyed it. Added some extra spice and he said it was perfect. I tired a bite and it had good flavor. This could be my new go-to pho restaurant when in the area!

Was feeling under the weather & wanted a soup to help me feel better, and so glad I really felt awful because would've never discovered this Pho Gem!Beautiful interior with Ms. Ann being the sweetest person on earth who helped me make a great selection from the menu! But the Pho was sooo good!!! The broth is so rich in flavor and the meat cuts we're great! Got the large bowl and STILL wanted more! If your ever in the mood for Pho, don't look any other direction than here!!!

The Pho was amazing, I will definitely revisit if i ever come back to the state. I really enjoyed the ambiance and staff.

I got food poison after I ate here yesterday. Not a lot of noodles. I threw up 5 times.

They're not busy, and the service was goodfood was goo, too. I think they changed the name, but it is not problem.

Everything was pretty good, I ordered number 14 and spring rolls. They have a friendly service. Definitely we will come back.
