Been coming here for years!! Still the best pho. Tastes fresh and clean. Service is great and friendly. Bathrooms are clean. To go orders are packed neatly. The only issue is parking. The lot is small but you can park in the street.
Still think this is the best Pho!! The soup base is still the best! I don't get that weird MSG headache when I eat here. The servers have changed but I believe the owners are still the same. The spring rolls are delicious also. Everything is consistently great!!! -

Wow! I'm not joking when I say this is by far one of the best Pho places I have EVER been to!!!
I ventured to Viet Huong last Friday during lunch, and this was busy!!!
Parking: The restaurant has parking; however every spot was taken, so a loop around the block I was able to find street parking.
Arrival: Upon entering, the restaurant had a clean exterior, and I was quick to be greeted and sat.
Service: I observed three servers working hard, and giving amazing service during the busy lunch hour.
Food/Drink: Now the good stuff! I ordered the #5 Pho Tai Chin Nam(pho w/ rare beef , lean brisket, and flank) I ordered the small size which was plenty!! (I can eat a lot!) I did not have to wait long for the food. The soup came with the standard veggies. When I took my first bite I was in heaven! The meat was so soft and completes the well seasoned broth. The whole time I was eating the soup I was thinking .. when am I coming back! I decided to order
a iced coffee with milk and this had amazing taste with a strong jolt for you caffeine lovers this is a must!
Overall, don't miss your opportunity to try this amazing restaurant! You will not be disappointed!!! -

The owners are so nice and passionate about their food. They know their dishes well and everything tasted very good. At my table of 9 people, we all liked our dishes, but those who had the dry dishes loved their food. I personally bad the bun rieu huyet and it was so delightful. I felt bad because it tasted better than any I have ever had.... and feel bad saying this because my family is Vietnamese. They also had some dishes that were more rare to eat, so this is definitely a place I am going to go more often.
The location itself is small, but there is enough tables you don't have to wait. The parking lot is small, but we were able to find parking. This place is like the typical Asian mom and pop restaurant style, so it's not great for a first date to impress someone, but definitely if your person likes good food. -

A small building tucked on a big street, this place offers much more than the flashy big restaurants out there. We were a group of 7 and came in about half an hour before closing (apologies to the staff!). Not only did they treat us super nicely, but one of the servers even taught us to put hoisin and Sriracha sauces on pickled onions to add to our Pho. They also gave us fried beef oil--super fragrant and delicious--for extra flavoring. We never got the sense that we were rushed.
I ordered the Com Thit Nuong (sorry if I butchered it), which is grilled pork on rice. The portion was pretty large; I was only able to finish half. The pork had a spectacular smoky taste to it--exactly what I wanted, but not all restaurants can achieve this. It came with a salad and fish sauce. I also tried my boyfriend's pho. Noodles were perfect firmness and the broth was amazing! For great service and more than your money's worth of delicious food, visit Viet Huong! -

It pains me to write this review because they were so kind, the food was good, and they served us our food quickly. Then my boyfriend and I asked to take the same exact meal home so we can have it for dinner. They took about 20 minutes to serve us our meal to go, when a different waitress brings us the food wrapped up, while having some food in her mouth. when we drove all the way back home, we found out that they gave us pizza? I don't even think they serve pizza.
