  • It was fairly dead on a Wednesday night when I brought one of my friends over to try what I read was authentic Vietnamese food. What I like about Pho Hong is that they do indeed have a lot more dishes than say, Pho Hoa down the street, including dishes such as Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu. They also have authentic Vietnamese desserts and drinks. The restaurant is fairly large and is located in the same shopping center as Food Lion. Plenty of parking all around. One of the things that stood out the most to me here was not their food, but their friendly service. Everyone at the restaurant, especially the waitress, which I assume might be one of the owners, was extremely friendly and always smiling. As for the food, is it slightly more pricey than most Vietnamese I've had both in the South and in NYC. A bun bo hue and bun rieu cost over $10 each bowl. The bun rieu I had didn't have as much of the shrimpy/fishy flavor I was looking for and was way too salty. The bun bo that my friend ordered tasted more like a pho with spicy sauce rather than a lemongass soup base. That's not to say that the food was bad... I just came with high expectations given the many, many Vietnamese restaurants I've been to as well as my own personal past, growing up with a ton of Vietnamese friends in Georgia. We had the goi cuon (shrimp summer rolls) to start and the ingredients were fresh and the rice paper perfectly moist. We also had an egg soda (raw egg yolk, lime (?), condensed milk, and club soda - this was surprisingly very refreshing and tasty. Neither of us had had this before. For dessert, we had a "che" - Vietnamese desserts - coconut milk, crushed ice, red bean, jello squiggles, and mung bean - it was sweet and my friend absolutely loved this stuff. Overall, my friend (who is Caucasian in case you were wondering) really liked the food. I introduced him to several "weird" foods including blood cake, and he even thought that was okay. Perhaps it takes a more complex palate to detect the minor differences between good Vietnamese food and mediocre Vietnamese food.
