Great Pho, and I don't have to drive all the way to Spring Mountain. Big portions and the broth is perfect, not too salty or bland.
The Vietnamese sandwiches are the bomb and so worth the $2-$3.
Love this..
Stick with the sandwiches and the rice noodle dishes. They are quite yummy.
I don't eat pho (or other soup noodles) so I can't say anything about it here.
Thanks to the brutal hangovers I experience several times a month, knowing where to get decent pho is absolutely critical. It's the only thing that can ease my abused digestive and nervous systems into a state of complacency.
I did not get decent pho here. In fact, it's the first pho I've ever eaten that made my hangover worse.
Maybe I just got a bad batch. I don't know.
My bowl was awful. The broth tasted of nothing but salt. The subtle flavors of meat and spice that my body craved simply were not there. I tried to enhance the flavor profile with the usual panel of hot sauces, to no avail.
The meat was alright, if a little tough. The veggies were pitiful. Half the leaves on the mint were grayish brown and wilted, and the bean sprouts were slimy.
It all made for a bad brew. I ate all the meat out of it, and that was about it. I usually drink the broth like it's the elixir of life, but not this time. I may as well have been sipping on hot brine. I couldn't even eat the noodles, as they had been steeped in the brackish concoction.
The pho left me excessively parched for hours, exacerbating my hangover, and did little to help my stomach ache.
I won't be back. Which is a shame, because the bahn mi looked great.
At any rate, the food is cheap, and the service is lackadaisical, as is traditional for family-run Asian eateries. I wouldn't go for the pho, but the bahn mi might be worth a try.
One should note that they close somewhat early at 9pm.
This was another good pho place to go to. It was kind of awkward when we first walked in because the guy kind of just acknowledge us from across the room and told us to just find a seat anywhere.
I am really in search of a good pho restaurant that will consistently satisfy my taste buds when i am craving it and this place is good. The prices are good and the serving size was good for the price too. There banh mi was good too.
Its easy to miss the place if you are not familiar with the area. But its worth a sit down. I say pho saigon 8 is first on my love it list but this place is good too!
Hung over from your hardcore partying at (fill-in-the-club-name-here)??
A nice, steaming bowl of pho is the perfect fix, and Pho Thanh Huong makes it gooooood. Their broken rice (com tam) dishes are also delish. Make sure to get the tau hu ky (shrimp in tofu paper?).
The restaurant is bright and will definitely wake you up. Wear your sunglasses if needed. The prices are cheap, the food is good. What else do you need?
When you've nursed yourself back to life, make sure to buy some Vietnamese sandwiches for later! The shredded chicken sandwich is yummmmm.
Went here on our 4th of July trip. The food was good but not as good as back home (So Cal) ;-) Wife had the BBQ Pork & Pate Banh Mi and I had the Grilled Chicken Banh Mi. The sandwiches were pretty good, the meat were nicely flavored but it didn't have the crunchy outside. The Spring Rolls were a flop because there was too much rice wrap and it was tough. They were so springy on the outside that it reminded my five of those gel filled rubber stress tube things (and they were the most expensive things ordered). To drink we had the an iced coffee and a thai iced tea. They were both pretty good, but they put too much milk and made the drink kinda thick.
Will definitely come back when we need out vietnamese fix in Vegas and also to try some of the pho.
i love their picture menus!! i'm not really familar with the english or vietnamese terms for asian food so the pictures are awesome. i have a crush on the young guy who's always sitting at his computer behind the counter..haha :) but the banh mi is what keeps me going back...they're so good! almost as good as a BA LE in san diego, ca but when i'm in vegas, this is where i go for my banh mi. their pate is awesome..and that's what i'm most picky about in a banh mi. it looks cleaner than most asian restaurants i've been to, i've only eaten there once. typically, i take my sandwich to-go...never tried anything else.
Not the most attractive shopping center location or friendliest service, but the food here is ligit, not like Panda Express or the other semi-food "asian theme" places. The meat wasn't like the sizzling barbecue of the Pho Bac Ky in Irvine, but the egg rolls were crisp and noodles plentiful. I would definitely come back here for my next hankering of affordable Vietnamese.
This place was GROSS. The meat was fatty, the broth was salty and the service was horrific. Blech.
I skipped this place on more than one occasion for two reasons: it's too close to my house (any excuse to travel over to Spring Mountain to visit the Asian markets gets me rarin' to go) but also because it's in the Vons shopping plaza that inexplicably is sometimes packed to the hilt (it must be something over at UNLV, there's no way PT's or Dotty's is pulling them in like that!). Anyway, I went for pho and was satisfied. A large order of rare steak and brisket pho is only $6.99 and although I haven't tried them yet, their sandwiches look amazing (and seemed very popular with the many to-go customers buzzing in and out while I ate), and on top of that, they have dried shredded chicken available for sale which I proudly pointed out to my boyfriend in the hopes he'll stop making fun of the large container of pork-fu in my kitchen cabinet.
Good value, great service, and CLEAN!
Not bad for a restaurant outside of Chinatown. The pho, bun bo hue and banh mi are fairly good and reasonable priced. The appetizers and drinks aren't too bad either. The restaurant is clean and the decor is plain. The service isn't so good. I had to get the waiter's attention a few times. Overall not too bad.
I ordered a #1 Grilled Pork based on reviews here and the milky eye guy said it was most popular. It measures 7" compared with 9"+ elsewhere. They are pretty light on vegetables and do not use cucumbers. The pork was decent, maybe next time I'll have them add pate.
I took the advice of another Yelper and did a little shopping at Vons while they made the sandwich so I don't know how long it took to prepare.
I like the banh mi at Hue Thai better although more expensive.
The first time I came here it was the perfect cure for the morning hangover and portions were perfect. Recently, I returned hoping for the same great experience and it was extremely disappointing. I didn't try the sandwiches but the pho was less than satisfying. I got the combo special and felt like the portions were literally cut in half and I didn't see any tripe. I was lucky enough to get half a meatball! I would come back but next time I'm gonna pay 7 bucks for the large bowl. Shrimp rolls were bomb though.
I got their Pho with Beef Balls and I threw it all up. Only because I was hungover but seriously, the soup they use here is disgusting! It's just like sea water, salt water, salt + water, salty salty salty!!
The lady who served us was a beezy too...here's why (remember that I'm hungover and don't want to be bothered)
Lady: What would you like
Me: #6 small please
Lady: SMALL? WHY GET SMALL WHEN LARGE IS 75 CENTS MORE
Me: Because I want a small.
Lady: 75 CENTS!
Me: NO. NUMBER SIX SMALL.
After that, she didn't bother to harass anyone else who ordered small bowls of Pho at the table. According to my friend, the fried egg rolls were not fried fresh and the spring rolls were just OKAY. I do have to admit, they make mean Vietnamese sandwiches though. They gave us one too many and I ended up with a #1 which was some kinda grilled pork sandwich. It was tasty.
Come here for their sammys, NOT their pho or egg rolls.
Loves it
i dont know where to start
the people running the place are the same ones serving you and they are nice and accomodating
the food- fresh, delicious and cheap
i had a huge bowl of noodles for dinner $8 and i was stuffed
the next morning before heading out of town we got sandwiches to go each one $3 and once again soooo satisfied
this was two weekends ago and im going to vegas again this weekend and i will be visiting this place again and bringing friends!
4.5 Stars.
WOW. What can I say, in cities with a plethora of vietnamese restaurants like Dallas or Houston, this is actually better than most that I have been to. The dishes are a little bit more expensive than the ones around here, but the quality makes it worth it. I was skeptical at first, but after the first bite, I wish this restaurant would replace several around the dallas area.
Grilled pork chops with rice and a fried egg, Beef ribs with rice, and a large bowl of Pho. Everything ordered was very tasty and I would order again without hesitation. Also tried a grilled pork and pate sandwich of also great tasting. I even drank the broth soup till it was all gone. Another place I am hitting again when I am back in Vegas. Thank you Yelpers. =)
ok... i only wanted banh mi when i came here... but everything else looked SOOO GOOD on the menu.... but it WASNT. i didnt try the pho, but maybe i should have....
I got the bun mam, which is like a thick rice spagetti type noodle with fish, shrimp and pork... and it was SALTY AS HELL. omg i almost died trying to finish all the noodle and meat. NEVER AGAIN.
My bf got something else....(dont remember what it was) and he didnt like it very much either....
i finished eating and in the beginning of the meal i ordered a Banh Mi Cha Lua to go (Pork Loaf Sandwich w/ Pate) and the sandwich alone restored my faith in this place!!!!!!!!
BANH MI HERE IS THE BEST IN VEGAS!!!!
THE PATE HAS A REALLLY GOOOD BLACK PEPPER FLAVOR AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK OFTEN FOR THIS SANDWICH!!!
The food is good but the sandwiches are heaven!
Tried the barbeque chicken with pate...5 stars out of 5. Had them add extra jalepenos and veges.
Tried the barbeque pork with pate...5 stars out of 5. Also had extra jalepenos and veges.
The owner knows us by sight since we order 6 sandwiches for lunch (even great when a day old!) and sometimes even eat one bahn mi after a full pho dinner!
We've taken friends there and they wish they had the same restaurant at Milpitas CA.
The price is a bit higher than in Seattle but the flavor makes it worth the extra.
Really great food here, especially the banh mi. My friend, a pho connoisseur, deemed the pho better than Pho Kim Long. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars in my book is that service is sketchy. That comes with the territory for Vietnamese restaurants but one time I sat by myself for 10 minutes and didn't get -any- service (i.e., no one came to the table to help me). This last time was good and prompt, though.
Located within a dumpy strip mall across from UNLV, I find myself coming here all the time, and picking up 5 banh mi sandwiches for carryout for $15 total. The sandwiches are great - I put them in the over to toast up the bread a little and it's absolutely delicious. It's one of my regular places as a Las Vegas local.
I have had banh mi in many places, including California and Virginia, which have vibrant Vietnamese communities. Oddly, the best one out of all of them thus far is here in Vegas. The bread is fresh and had a nice chewiness to it; the grilled pork sandwiches have pork that don't have too much gristle, and the sandwiches use good vegetables. The other inferior places I've been to have meager portions of meat, or cost $3.50 and upwards per sandwich, or had bread that I wasn't particularly fond of.
I did have pho there once, and was disappointed by it; I go to Pho Saigon 8 up on Spring Mountain for my pho needs, but will often come here after a meal there for sandwiches to eat during the course of the week. I put in my order, and go to the Vons in the same strip mall to finish up some shopping (it's an incredibly ghetto Vons).
The decor is pretty lousy, though they have a flat screen tv up. The service is spotty though I've been there enough times that they recognize me; they're not rude, but they aren't necessarily on top of everything.
Cleanliness is average. The banh mi is prepared in the open area in direct view of anyone, which I like since it can help keep a kitchen honest. Value is solid because of the high quality of banh mi and reasonable prices. As said by others, you'll be best off if you stick with the sandwiches.
Also, avoid the place during UNLV basketball games, cheapskates come out here to park rather than parking at the arena and it makes the entire lot a zoo.
$3 with tax for a tofu banh mi...nuff said. but seriously nice hot chillies, fresh bread, yummy carrot-daikon slaw...
on top of it, i am not a coffee drinker whatsoever, i am all about tea. but when i need a pick-me-up, i get the vietnamese iced coffee with boba. highly recommend.
Like I said, I knew I would be back to try their Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) on my next flight out. The BF and I grabbed three sandwiches to share and what a great deal it was.
They have their own ovens back there to bake their own French bread, which makes these sandwiches even more ideal! We got the recommended #1 Grilled Pork (Banh mi Thit Nuong) with pate added as well as the #13 Grilled Chicken with Pate (Banh mi Pate Ga).
Both sandwiches were so good, great flavor and a nice heat from the jalapenos.
What a steal for three sandwiches for $10! Definitely the place to go to grab some banh mi for the road!
Pho Thanh Huong Restaurant isn't located in the best area - but it's worth going by anyway because… Read more »
last stop on the food tour !! i missed a foodie gathering last nite at this place - i'm still pissed about that. But i am driving by and what better time than now ?!?!?
No pho , it's all about the banh mi !! I was assured they cook their own bread so i was getting fired up ! i walked in - there it is a huge oven - looks like a walk-in fridge - it's huge !
all the banh mi $2.75 ( still slightly higher than the so cal / m. park places but that's ok ! )
ordered the #1 grilled pork and the #2 ham/steamed pork/pate. i watched them prepare - decent sized roll - thrown into a microwave ?!?! wtf !! are you kiddin' me ? I'm feeling a little down . I see the veggies - daikon, carrots, cilantro, etc - good. Looks like the pate is pre-sliced ( not from a can - at least i don't think so ) i didn't see the ham. the pork looked good. rolled it up in paper the standard small rubberband - i'm on the road - gotta get home - SOON !
while driving - the smells - catfish, pupusa, banh mi - F IT ! i rip open the grilled pork banh mi - that's a big roll ! i can't believe i'm saying this - crunchy outside so light, airy inside - delicious ( thought for sure the micro was gonna f-it up ! ) and the pork - very, very good ! maybe a touch to much pepper but people, the flavors from the cilantro, the pork, the daikon, the pepper, Lord let there be banh mi's in heaven !! ( then again, can i be there too ?!?! )
i gotta hit nhu lan again on the westside to give them another chance, otherwise this is my new vegas banh mi stop !!
I love the sandwiches at this place! Especially the grilled pork banh mi, which I think is priced very reasonable. The soups, noodle and rice dishes here are also very tasty. Value for your money and good food is a combination that I am always happy to experience.
I only come here when I am in the mood for banh mi, so I can't comment on anything else on the menu (but I've heard that the pho isn't that great). The sandwiches are cheap and they taste fresh. I have always taken my orders to go, so the cleanliness--or supposed lack thereof--hasn't bothered me. This certainly isn't a place to go out for a weekend dinner, but it makes for a great lunch every once in a while.
SOLID.
I went here twice in two days-- the first time because I was curious, the second time was because some old dude was monopolizing the only computer available in the hotel and I didn't want to waste half my life trying to bumble around Yelp on my BlackBerry; I was HONGRY.
There's a guy who works here who has a bum eye; it points up to the ceiling and is milky-colored. My mom thought he should wear an eyepatch because it is kind of morbid, but I love that kind of stuff; that's just local flavor, and I far prefer that kind of freakshow than to the one you find on the strip.
Excellent broth, fresh herbal woogie platter, enough meat, enough noodles, good broth-to-stuff ratio. I was going to try the banh mi but I loved the pho too much; perhaps the next time I'm out in LV. To know that this place is here, makes me feel like the world is not such a cruel place.
Food: 4 stars
Service: 3 stars
Price: 5 stars
This vietnamese noodle shop is located in a not-so-good looking plaza. They have a huge selection of noodle soup, sandwiches, and rice dishes. Don't expect to have any service. In fact, you may have to go get your own menu because sometimes there is no one in the front end... may be they like to hide in the kitchen?!
We had lunch here twice within one week. We've tried Bun Bo Hue $7.49 (tender slices of beef, garnished with fried onions and mixed veggie in a spicy hue-style round noodle beef soup), Bun Rieu $6.49 (vermicelli rice noodle served with tofu, tomatoes, and mixed veggie in a fine shrimp and crab paste soup), Com Ca Hai Nam $7.99 (steamed Hoi-nan chicken with rice and ginger sauce), Bun Rieu Oc $6.99 (vermicelli rice noodle served with escaargots, tofu, tomatoes, and mixed veggie in a fine shrimp and crab paste soup), Vietnamese ice coffee with milk $3.23.
All the noodle soup were yummy. The chicken with rice dish was quite bad - not the correct way to make Hoi-nan chicken and the meat was very old... but the rice was good. Overall, I think it worth a try especially if you like noodle soup!
Pho Thanh Huong has became my favorite Vietnamese restaurant for pho and sandwiches. Also, the prices are decent and the food is tasty. I can't imagine going anywhere else to get my Vietnamese food fix.
My server did not speak English. There was no A/C. But holy crap this place serves some damn good pho! Completely off-strip location in a random strip mall. Dirt cheap Alhambra-esque pricing.
Bring a towel to wipe your sweat and $6 in your pocket. What a find.
4.5 stars!!!
What this place lacks in decor and location it more than makes up for with great Vietnamese food and helpful service.
I came the 3 miles from my hotel to satisfy my yearning for noodle soup (after reading about this spot on Yelp). Even though I arrived after it was closing they served me my Mi Tom Cua (squid, prawn, crabstick and egg noodle) without complaints. Also they let me order a take-out pork sandwich. All for $12.
I loved the fragrant tea so much I bought a pound of it too. Even though I only wanted 1/2lb I didn't make a fuss as the family was so nice.
Come here and try the beef pho (i don't eat much beef so I skipped it) as it looks like the best!
You can't beat their sandwiches for under $3 (Most are $2.75)... As suggested here, I got the #1 grilled pork and it was delicious. A fresh roll and nicely seasoned pork plus veggies packed in with it. The sandwich and a soft drink would check in under $5, and would be sufficient for an average lunch.
I, however, also got a large rice noodle soup for... I think $5.50. Be warned, if you're getting soup with other food, it's a LOT. I'd estimate the large was probably around a quart of soup/noodles. Next time I'll try it with meat for a couple of $ more; regular was good but the meaty soups looked excellent.
The one thing I was disappointed in was the "Vietnamese iced coffee." For $3.23 it was a 12 oz. mix of coffee, milk, and chocolate syrup over a TON of ice. Probably a normal iced tea would've been more appropriate and cheaper.
Another reviewer said there was no A/C; they have since remedied the problem with some portable units that duct through the ceiling.
The ambiance is negligible, but what do you expect from a college joint that serves sandwiches for $2.75?
Followed the reviews on Yelp, we had lunch here as an exotic explore. I had the BBQ dried Pho and it was well flavored; my BF had Beef soup Pho(pic. menu#8) We both loved it!! The Beef was so tender and tasted great. Ice coffee is another must-try. Fairly cheap price made this restaurant more friendly to us. We will definitely go back again to try out other menu.
Pretty good banh mi. Service was fine and sandwich was fresh and delivered pronto. I liked the little slice of heat on it but felt like the sauce could have been better.
Man this is hard to beat, for $2.75 you can get any one of TWENTY different sandwiches FUCK THEY ARE GOOD!!! You only really need probably one, though I crammed down another for good measure!
The Vietcong Iced Coffee is excellent on a hot night to wash it all down!
alright i know that vietnamese service usually sucks... but... they really sucked. they wrote down the wrong order and forgot our drink orders... it was so hard to get their attention too!
the food was relatively good... but for las vegas standards. i'm from san jose so it's kind of biased to compare.
i would go back again, just order togo or something!
Best Pho and Viet sandwiches in Vegas! Reminds me of all the delicious places in the Bay Area. The soup has a solid flavorful broth, and they don't skimp on the meat or noodles. The sandwiches are large and filling.
I came here after reading the reviews on yelp, you guys let me down. :(
I'm fine with eating at most hole-in-the-wall dirty restaurants but this one was a too much. First the tables reeked of wet-rag/mildew, which I normally I would just tolerate but this time it created a progressive effect. I'll just get to the point, the man that took our order/delivered our food/took our money, had bits of rare beef on his fingertips. dood.
end of story. i don't care if the broth is heavenly, the beef buttery, or it's free. if that man doesn't at least WIPE his hands with the stinky mildew rag after making the bowls i don't want to think about what else he does or doesn't do.
i almost couldn't keep my soup down. gag. beef bits aside, if anyone is still interested in visiting, the broth was mediocre, the beef low quality and low in quantity. go down spring mountain road a few more miles and take your chances on another pho places, seriously.
I love you, Pho Thanh Huong. I can't pronounce your name, so I call you "That sandwich place at school." The prices are perfect, the sandwiches are incredible (My criterion for good food is that I lay up at night in bed sometimes and want it. This has happened a few times already.)
The decor is really much better than it was, and there is AC now, with a few portable (and quiet) units. The service is quick when you do sit-down, and they're nice enough people, but of course they're not 5-star-restaurant material. Highly recommended, get #1, it's the most flavorful. The best thing to do when going with someone is to share a pho (which ever one you like) and a sandwich each. That way you avoid over-ordering. This will probably run you about $12.
A great local place, so good, and so cheap, you could eat here every day! (Or I could.) (if I wasn't a broke college student).
This is a very good Vietnamese restaurant and it's located just 2 miles off the strip. I was craving a Vietnamese sandwich while vacationing in Vegas (can't help it, I love them) and my family came across this lovely restaurant. They have a huge selection of sandwiches and other dishes. Of course I ordered the Steamed Pork sandwich; it was the BEST Vietnamese sandwich I've ever had, no joke (I had the sandwich twice during my week stay). They filled it with plenty of meat and vegetables and they even bake their own bread! It had a lot of taste and their pate (some sort of meat spread, pronounced "pat-tay") wasn't bland. My family also enjoyed their meals; my sister loved her grilled pork with rice because it had delicious flavor.
The restaurant itself was pretty big, but I think a lot of people order to go as I kept seeing people walk in and out with goodies. I wish they had a sister store in California. Why when I finally find a place I like does it have to be so far? I guess that gives me another reason to go to Vegas! I will definitely return here again!
It took us a while to find this place but man was it worth it when we found it. Their broken rice was spectacular. I had the broken rice with pork steak, Vietnamese sausage, and tofu wrap shrimp cake. The sausage was average but everything else was delicious; the pork steak and tofu wrap shrimp cake were the best I've had at any Vietnamese restaurant. I'll be back next time...and bringing even more friends. Check this place out when you're free, it's better than a lot of the crap they call food on the strip. It's cheap price and yet delectable at the same time.
