Several years back, I was so excited when I first heard about a Vietnamese restaurant by the name of Pho Real!. (There's a What The Pho? In Atlanta!) I honestly don't know why it took me this long to review this place. Living in Atlanta, the asian culture is pretty huge so there's always an asian restaurant everywhere you look. That said, there's not many decent ones in Charlotte. I can't say that Pho Real! is authentic but they're not bad. Their pho is ok. I still prefer my mom's. The rice dishes are pretty good. But I mean, it is pretty typical for any Vietnamese restaurant to serve these rice plates. Tastes the same as the others. I've really enjoyed their Hu Tieu. Really really good! Pho Real is a bit overpriced for what you get & especially it being Vietnamese cuisine. But then again, this is Charlotte, so there aren't many options. Pho Real is clean, which is a huge plus. Service is very polite and attentive. Unfortunately, I couldn't give Pho Real any more than 3 stars..maybe because I've dined at one too many Vietnamese restaurants. So 3 stars is only fair.
