Huong Vietnamese Restaurant

long overdue review but Huong Viet is so good I ate here twice during a Columbus visit back in September. I’m originally from the bay area near San Jose and they have dishes on the menu that reminded me of SJ viet establishments, so you know it’s the real deal out here in Ohio. efficient, family run establishment with very reasonable prices where you will definitely leave feeling full and satisfied! I loved the bun bo hue, pho, dumplings, viet iced coffee, and banh mi!

First time stopping by cause it's infront saraga & saw a post about it. We came here for lunch got seated right away.. place was clean and neat feels like someones home. We ordered their PHO and some appetizer.. food came so fast & prices were fair and decent. Beef pho was delicious and flavorful & their shrimp roll is very tasty as well.. we will definitely come back to try their other food on the menu.

Came during a huge lunch rush on a Saturday. My favorite Vietnamese place, brought my friend to try the cuisine for the first time and he's very impressed. We tried uncommon dishes and they hit!! The shrimp was grilled so well and the Vietnamese pork patty was so flavorful, those two were our favorites. Eating clean food after food poisoning has been a blessing during my recovery

THE BEST Pho around the area. Enough said. If you’re wanting Pho, there’s no better place. Highly recommend trying the Pho here. Delicious Beef Broth Pho! I got the #22 Pho with thin sliced steak and beef meat ball with extra sliced fresh peppers on the side. (Peppers appear to be Serrano, but could be some other chili variety.) Spicy how it should be! You gotta sweat from the spice or something ain’t right! This is a small business with friendly, quick service, and fresh foods. Good price for the portions and flavor. More than worth it!

It’s been awhile since my last visit here. Grilled pork chop cut is pretty thin cut now, but still good. This place, Mi Li Cafe and GC Pho are the current top 3 in Columbus for some good Vietnamese cuisine, coincidentally they are all hole in the wall kind of places. If you don’t mind that, select dishes are good at these restaurants. Their Banh Tet with pork (New year cake) is made year round it appears and is pretty good here.

Very authentic Vietnamese spot. Large portions and food was flavorful. Got the the rare beef and meatball pho, grilled pork bahn mi, spring rolls, shrimp noodle salad (that my husband randomly order because he cracks under pressure and didn't know what to get lol), and the pandan cake. Pho base was flavorful, good amount of proteins and vegs, even with carryout. Bahn MI was also pretty good, bread was crunchy but I thought the pate was underwhelming. The pandan cake, texturally was not what it's supposed to be even after following their reheating instructions (tried the air fryer and microwave to see if it was user error)... Very dense, when it's supposed to be chewy and sticky. I definitely would come back for the pho.

Huong’s has quickly become a usual spot for us. The food is authentic and so good every time! They also have a ton of variety in their menu and at a reasonable price point. The service is fast and the owner is so friendly. Highly recommend to anyone!!

Pho, Grilled Pork Banh Mi, Vietnamese Iced Coffee... no fail order... broth tonight was on point.... I never finish my bowl... but tonight was different! Delicious!

While Huong is a quintessential hole-in-the-wall restaurant, the food here is delicious and made with love. The service is efficient but friendly, and the lady at the counter helped me with the menu and was more than accommodating with my customizations. My takeout order arrived quickly and both the spring rolls and the banh mi traveled really well. The packaging of the food was done with a lot of care, which I always appreciate. I was in a hurry this time and did not get to try out more menu items. I will certainly be back when I am in the area to try out their other dishes.

Pretty average Vietnamese place. They had all your standard Vietnamese menu items including pho, vermicelli, broken rice, bahn mi, bun bo hue, bahn xeo, and appetizers. Everything tasted good - nothing outstanding but definitely not bad. Simply average. Service was fast and efficient, definitely a very authentic experience with the wait staff yelling at each other across the restaurant and one waitress even carrying her baby in a carrier while serving. The best part about this place is the prices!! Great deal for the amount of food you get.

We drove up here for lunch after a very long night out. It was moderately busy with a super super nice staff. I got my usual orders for any pho spot which are spring rolls, crispy egg rolls, a classic beef pho and a side of grilled pork. Usually, most pho spots taste pretty similar but this one had such a flavorful broth that completely replenished any fatigue and drowsiness I had. I also got the chicken stock pho which gave a fresh new meaning to pho. The grilled pork was also a great complimentary seasoned piece to my meal and I was really glad I ordered it. Something I did not order that I was a little curious about was their bahn mi - it came larger than a Subway footlong with a bread that looked perfectly toasty! Portions were generous and prices were friendly. Would definitely come up here again if I am ever in Columbus.

Inside is tables and chairs. Enough for quite a few people. The service was good. When coming to this restaurant, you have to write down what you're ordering. The host gives you a pencil and a card. Different but not bad. I ordered fried Eggrolls, papaya salad with beef jerky, and steak and meatball phó. The Eggrolls were great. The papaya salad was something new for me. I have never had it with a light, clean garlic flavor with a little sweetness. It tasted great. The phó broth was spot on for what I want in a broth. Light, fatty and not overly seasoned. Listen, when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant, and you're the only non-Asian person there, you know it's going to be good. I will be coming back here.

We were visiting Columbus and stopped by here for lunch. The food was good with a generous serving size!! We got the grilled beef banh mi, beef & shrimp rice vermicelli noodle salad, and egg rolls. Egg rolls were good--pretty standard/average. The banh mi came with the beef and pate on the bread & veggies on the side to assemble yourself. My partner didn't mind since he could add what he just wanted to. The rice vermicelli noodle salad/bun is pretty standard. However, the grilled beef in both dishes was star of the show & our favorite bite. It was delicious and had a nice char!! Fun throwback music playing on the TV. FYI, you write down your order yourself. Some might not like that but we didn't mind (basically the non-electronic version of ordering on a tablet lol)--especially for a good and inexpensive spot! Nice folks, too. We would come back if we find ourselves in the area again. :)

Still so good on a cold weather! The pho and spring roll are a great combo when it's dark and cold outside. Love the simple, uncomplicated service. You come in, sit down, write the number of the dish you want and enjoy! Not too fancy place but the food and prices are so worth it!

Huong's has been my favorite Vietnamese spot for a very long time. I have been coming here since 2015 and it's been just as amazing every single time. They staff are friendly, the restaurant itself is quint but ideal for just cozying in and enjoying your food. They have a large menu and there is truly something for everyone. It was my husbands first time trying my Vietnamese so we ordered regular spring rolls with shrimp, spring rolls without shrimp, beef pho, tofu bahn mi, and the pork and rice dish. We finished with an iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was so amazing but truly I think their pho is the best in Columbus. It's full of flavor and depth and perfect for the winter time. I will of course be back hopefully soon

I love the Vietnamese salad roll. The service was excellent and the ambiance was so relaxing. I will be back!

Came here on a Wednesday around 6:45 pm. We were worried because it was less than an hour till their closing time but the man didn't hesitate as he immediately greeted us and asked how many. We chose our items quickly so they didn't have to wait on us for too long. There were 3 other small groups inside but plenty of seating for more. The inside is very casual but intimate, with Asian decorations. The bathrooms are a little old but they do the job, and you need a code to get in so ask one of the people working for it. We decided to get the #1 cha gio (fried egg rolls), the #8 banh bot loc (steamed tapioca dumplings), #21 pho tai (rare beef steak), #39A banh exp tom thit (Vietnamese crepe), and #6B chao tom (shrimp cake wrapped sugar cane skewers). The food was ready within minutes. First were the appetizers and the entrees literally a moment later. Everything was piping hot and delicious. Service was quick and friendly and you pay at the counter when you're done (like most casual Vietnamese restaurants in America). Everything was way beyond reasonably priced, very cheap for good to amazing quality food! The cha Gio was flavorful and crispy, a bit small but for $4 totally worth the 3 pieces. The fish sauce dipping sauce was perfect and not watered down too much. The tapioca dumplings were good but nothing special, good to try and fun texture but I personally would want to try other things. The shrimp skewers were also good to try and fun to eat but nothing special for me. It was cool to eat the sugar cane skewers but they lost a lot of flavor and sweetness being roasted. The pho tai was perfectly sized for me and while the broth wasn't the most flavorful I've ever had, it still hit the spot and was super cheap. There was also a good noodle to broth ratio and came with plenty of serranos, bean sprouts, basil, and lime. The banh xeo was delicious!! This was the best thing I tried (my sister came here before and got this again because it was so good) and is definitely a must try. You can cut up pieces of the crepe and place it in a piece of lettuce, then add bean sprouts, peppers, and basil and dunk in the large fish sauce with pickled veggies. The crepe is extremely crispy and has such a great texture, while the dipping sauce adds a bunch of flavor. This convinced me to try getting this at every Vietnamese restaurant I can from here on out to compare (I do this was pho tai already). Would 100% come back again. Such a good spot and friendly people!

It's dated decor, kinda old but who cares, the food is GOOD and the service is excellent! I'll be back!

Huong Vietnamese has been a staple for years since I moved here. I bring all my friends here! So much good food. It gets so so busy at lunch so you might have to wait a bit to get a seat! So me and my friend chilled in the car until we saw people leave. Once we came back we were seated immediately. The space is so vintage and rich. I love that they play pop elevator music and have church brown panels on the walls. It make me feel at home. With a large mural of water, boats and crabs in the art. We got a lil notepad to order our meal. And I choose the Pho Tai Bo Vien. Rare steak and beef meat ball with rice noodles and a savory beef broth. Paired with fresh greens: jalapeno, thai basil, beansprouts, and cilantro. Paired it with the tasty Cha gio deep fried egg rolls. It was so good! 5 stars for great service and consistency!

I found out about this place, fifteen minutes from our hotel, so we went over for our final dinner in Ohio. When we pulled in, the sign said closed, but a man just walked out. We noticed the sign said closed at 7:30, so we went in. They seated us and we ordered spring rolls and pho. The service was great, the food was great, everything was great! We were clearly the last ones there, but never rushed. We paid and I forgot my credit card there. I called once I got to the hotel, but no one picked up. I drove back over, knocked, and they answered, giving me my card. Without that, this was still a five-star place.

Very authentic pho in Ohio--this was my second time visiting and a must-visit for me whenever I'm in Columbus. Write your orders on a piece of paper and give it to the server, and they bring out your food on a little cart! Really fast and will package takeout for different forms of eating--whether you're bringing it back to the office, bringing it home, or even eating in the car. Love the broth flavor--rich and meaty and great texture on noodles, meat, and any other mix-ins. One of my favorite spots in all of Columbus and certainly a hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.

Another stunner in a strip mall. It does not look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The food makes up for it. I also loved the 70s decor and musical selections. It is not every day that you get to eat banh mi while listening to the Bee Gees. They give you paper checks and you fill out your food order yourself. Then they take the slips and you wait for the magic to happen. They roll the food out on a trolley cart. Very efficient. The bill gets paid at the counter in the lobby. When they brought us a box for leftovers they even included a cup of fresh peanut sauce to take home. Nice touch. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. There is also a small selection of ready made food items for takeout. Per the sign..." you touch, you buy!" This is going on the rotation of favorite spots.

I still love this place. Bring a friend and share the Bahn Mi and the Vietnamese Crepe. Order two coffees. Live your best life. That is all.

I always come here expecting it to be something and I always leave rather disappointed. Mainly because of the banh mi, everything comes separately, and it's so long. Maybe I'm the outlier here but when I get a banh mi, I want it to be its regular size, I want the crunchy yet fluffiness of a viet banh mi with its crunchy veggies. I expect to be able to order it customizable and not just all the fixings on the side the way it comes here. Not my favorite Vietnamese place in columbus.

I tried Huong's on a really cold day which was perfect because my friend and I both wanted soup! I was told by someone who backpacked through Vietnam that this was one of the few restaurants that had the same exact flavors he had in Vietnam. Such high praise! The menu is extensive! So many options! My friend and I grabbed takeout menus so that we can come back next time. I stuck with pho with rare steak, while my friend got bun bo hue. We also shared dumplings made from tapioca. Everything was delicious! I couldn't finish my noodles so I brought it home. It wasn't busy here but there were a number of people dining in. Parking shares with other businesses but it wasn't busy here.

Ordered the everything pho and it was great. Portion sizes were generous (which was much appreciated) and flavors were all there. Went for the three bean dessert but they were out which was disappointing. Super solid and would love to try out more items if in the area again.

Good choice for no frills Vietnamese food in Columbus. Prices are fair and menu is large and full of options you don't see at most Vietnamese restaurants. Not much ambiance and service can be on the slower side, although they make up for it with the food. We didn't try the pho, but will next time as that was what most people were ordering.

The service is fast. Banh mi was really good. This was after we ate the sandwich, it was pretty big. The 20D Pho was SOOO! Good! Fresh roll was good too. The 80s - 90s music adds a nice touch. Thank you for the experience.

I just realized how long I haven't been back to Huong. The classic mom & pop Vietnamese Restaurant in Columbus. Filled with homey vibe and authentic food. I got a bowl of Bun Bo Hue with an order of Spring Rolls. Their version of Bun Bo Hue is more mild and subtle. And I can still taste the umami flavor as I sipping on the broth. Always come with variety meat such as Vietnamese pork sausage, beef brisket and my favorite pork knuckles. The pair of Spring Rolls is big. Loaded with lettuce, basil, pork and shrimp. To top this off, don't forget to dip it into the yummy peanut sauce. Outside from the food, my favorite part is the Vietnamese-style iced phin coffee. Love seeing the coffee drip through the Vietnamese coffee dripper. The coffee get drip to a cup that prefill with condense milk. Stir well and pour the coffee over the cup of ice. I always take this very slow, as the coffee is fairly strong.

Stopped in for lunch with my brother on a Saturday. It's a good sized restaurant with plenty of seating. We ordered the Bun Mang Moc noodle soup, the Banh Xeo, and an order of sugarcane shrimp. The sugarcane shrimp were juicy and delicious. The Bun Mang Moc was so unique! Funky and different but in the best way. The banh xeo was the highlight for us--probably the crispiest I've ever had. A bit greasy but we didn't mind. The service was quick and we saw lots of people coming in to pick up take-out orders. They have plenty of specials on the menu--dishes I've never gotten a chance to try at other Vietnamese spots. Lots of vegetarian options too! I'm really looking forward to going back soon!

I'd heard rave reviews about this Vietnamese restaurant so I put it on my November excited to try list. It was GREAT. Note they close early at 7:30 pm!!! We arrived at 7:05 and were told they weren't taking dine in customers anymore (7 pm is their final seating) but I did my best plea. We got sat and ordered quickly. It's a mom and pop shop in a strip mall with a kitschy interior and stapled paper menu. There was a full Christmas display in my peripheral as well as Christmas music blasting while we ate delicious noodles and bahn mi and all was right in the world. We started with the steamed tapioca dumplings and these are great. It's such a comforting dish. The pho had delicious broth and the softest thin noodles. I enjoyed the beef broth a bit more than the chicken broth, but just personal preference. The bahn mi was our favorite item though. The grilled pork is flavorful and I enjoyed the byob (build your own bahn mi lol) concept and it's under $11 for the footlong. Fantastic flavors at an excellent value... $42 for the 4 dishes, a soda, and a mooncake that I just had to grab on the way out. I just wish they would be open a little later... like even if they did last seating at 8 pm, I feel like that would be a bit more accommodating to evening schedules.

No frills restaurant with delicious food and great prices! We came here for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty packed. Chicken wings and the shrimp spring rolls to start, followed by bowls of Pho, the chicken broth seafood soup and the beef rice bowl! We also had the beef bahn mi on the side, so yum! All of it comes with a generous amount of toppings, sauces, and the service is quick!

Soooo good heard that this is one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in town and been wanting to try it. The food did not disappoint! The broth was so rich and packed with flavors. Good amount of meat in the noodle soup as well. We also liked the fried chicken there.

Huong's is a Columbus establishment as far as I can tell. It always comes as highly recommended for Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The restaurant itself is unassuming, almost hidden in a strip mall. I've only ever gotten takeout but staff seem friendly. Food wise, I've tried their banh mi, pho, and the banh cuon (weekend special). Banh cuon was great and usually not commonly offered in Vietnamese restaurants. The pho and banh mi were alright, nothing super special to me and not overly memorable. Not that it was bad by any means but just very on par. Overall, I think there's a lot of options here and nothing on the menu has been bad thus far. Definitlely a solid Viet restaurant!

The only place we go in Columbus for actual good, authentic Vietnamese food! They also have a large menu with lots of options you can't typically find. Love the bun chao tom! Don't get the bakes goods in the front of the restaurant though--not very good.

The food here is excellent! I had the banh mi and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend it!

Every pho I've had here has been top notch. The broth is flavorful and delicious. I got vegan spring rolls last time I was there and the sauce is delicious. Seating can be a little tight, they have several 2 person booths. The servers are friendly. I've gotten take out here too and they always get it right! Love it!

The restaurant is definitely on the older end and not in the best area. We had amazing service! The menu is a bit overwhelming and hard to understand. You write down your own order. I got the beef pho as my meal it was absolutely delicious. Everything we ate tasted good. They brought out the Vietnamese coffee and walk my husband through how to use it which was super sweet. The food compared to same cuisine is cheaper end. They have the bathrooms locked and there's different codes for both. Overall, the food is amazing and worth a stop in!!

A homey family run place. Excellent pho, a lot of variety. Best Vietnamese in the city!

Very authentic. We had spring rolls, dumplings and Pho. All were delicious. Plan on coming back to explore the menu more.

Huong Vietnamese Warning! This is not a first date place. This is the 'I am ok if you are picking a sauce-noodle off my Nose' type of place. It is slurpy, splashy and tasty. We ordered the #2, #21, #27. Verdicts! Food - 7/10. I've had better but this is solid Pho Service - 9/10. Attentive and fast. Value for money - 10/10 Know before you go! Bathroom rating - 3/10. Atmosphere - dive authentic - 8/10 This is a place that's obviously been in operation long enough for the tile ceiling to absorb many interesting things. The dishes are clean as is the silver. Can't tell if the floor is clean. It's that old kind of tile that decides 'if its red no one can tell'. The walls are spattered with soup. That was the only thing that really got me. That and the bathrooms. They don't care about them, that is clear. Overall I'm Adding this to my list of regular dives, especially at the price! Thanks for a unique experience and a happy belly.

Huong is a family owned restaurant located on Morris Road right opposite Saraga Market. The restaurant is one of the authentic Vietnamese gems we have in town. Place is not fancy but serves the best pho in town. Everyone knows that and you will see that in other reviews as well but trust me I have not seen any restaurants in Columbus serve Banh Xeo ( turmeric coconut milk crepe filled with bean sprouts and meat of choice, crispy served with herbs and lettuce- you eat it like a roll wrapped inside a lettuce wrap ) I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. They also serve amazing Bahn mi's. They are Just about 6 dollars for a foot long (take that sub way jk) . So if you want to venture outside pho do give these dishes and try! The restaurant is affordable and best bang for your buck!!

Needed a little Vietnamese fix. Restaurant looks super run down. Wouldn't recommend this place for date night if y'all interested in decor. Vegan spring rolls (menu). It's actually summer rolls. 80% noodles 15% lettuce 5% basil Vegetarian pho (options include: fresh soft tofu, sautéed seasoned tofu, steamed veggies, and sautéed veggies) Pho tai (rare steak and well done flank) One thing I will say is that they're SUPER generous with the side plate Four limits for two bowls of pho SO much basil Two heaping handfuls of bean sprouts Thick slices of jalapeños There were probably 20-25 cubes of sautéed seasoned tofu. Wish there was an option for sautéed seasoned tofu and veggies. It was everything I needed to satiate that Vietnamese fix. Would 100% return.

!Not kid friendly! We made a stop in to eat recently and was told we couldn't keep our child who is four months in her stroller. & had to put our stroller outside. Mind you we have an all in one Doona Stroller. It's small and compact. We have been to this restaurant many times for a few years. Recently had a baby and have taken her with us previously in which they sat us at an end table where she was out of the way. This all came from the owner. The daughter stepped in and was nicer about the situation. Food is good service is poor and definitely not child friendly.

Hungry for something healthy and satisfying? You know you should go here...just try it! Great food! Fresh, flavorful, varied textures, and colors. Try the pho of course, but also the pancake (crispy omlet with lettuce wraps) and summer rolls. The service is friendly and efficient- you write down your order by number. Try the salted lemonade. really. Never mind the eighties music- you'll be tapping along half way thru your pho. Dont come for the ambience or to be catered to- come for the food... and Enjoy it! Warning... it is addictive. We go at least monthly.

small strip mall place. they are obviously doing mostly takeout. Manager surprised when we said we were eating there. You still order and pay at the counter. Food average.

You know it's going to be good when a Pho restaurant is in a strip mall. This place did not disappoint. The most flavorful broth and probably one of the best pho soup I've had. The staff were fantastic and service was excellent! Must try if you live in OH.

"Good Foods * Good Moods " wrapping up 2022 bites with one of our local favorites, @huongvr A must try !! Super kind family, wonderful homemade Vietnamese Dishes . Their pho is delicious but I'd recommend branching out to try some new bites, you'll be happy you did ! #vietnamesefood #foodie #614eats #columbusliving #columbusfoodie #favoriteeats #614columbus

When a restaurant 'enforces' a 15% service fee just because they feel they have the 'right' to do I just don't like it ... Tipping should always be up to the customer ... never enforced as a 'service fee' ...

Very fast and lots of food but quality was not there. The banh mi did not have any sauce and bland. The grill pork vermicelli was beautifully put together but has zero taste. The sauce was just like water and didn't add any flavor to the dish. This place makes me re-evaluate the choice of quantity vs quality.

Pho was amazing. Bun bo hue was good but had better. Banh xeo (crepes) was a great appetizer Service was good and quick would defintley come back.

Ordered: pho dac biet Very cosy restaurant with large portion sizes for the price! It's p hard to go wrong with pho and a lot of their other dishes caught my eye so I'm interested in going back again!

Huong on Morse Road is one of our favorite Vietnamese places in town. The Banh Mi is one of the best around and we often mix it up with other menu items. The Pho is fabulous. Today, Dan's grilled beef with the rice noodle crêpe wrap for the . The decor is leftover from the previous Mexican restaurant and there is often music playing that makes you wnt to dance. The service is nice and fast. Carry out all through the pandemic was consistent, so we are happy to continue supporting Huongs.

Hands down one of the best pho places in the city that's tucked away in a small strip mall across from Saraga. You always need to grab their viet coffee regardless of the time of day as well (but warning, as with all cups of viet coffee, you will be absolutely wired). Last time we went and also shared the crepe amongst us all and that was a great add-on as well!

If you love Vietnamese food you should try this place. At first glance you would wonder, with the 80/90 karaoke music playing in the background. but it's what I call authentic. The people are genuinely nice. It's a hole in the wall place but the food is made fresh daily and it taste amazing. I love the Pho Dac Biet which is the combo pho, comes out deceiving it's piping Hot! It's great on a cold day for sure! And I also order the spring roll which is combo of shrimp and pork with fresh veggies. Help a local business come try it. You won't be disappointed!

I never minded the "hole in the wall" kind of feel because that's when you know the restaurant will be good! Honestly the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant around Columbus. The food, for the most part, is always good. Their pho broth is exactly how it is supposed to be: clean and straight forward. The meat is slightly rare so it cooks in the broth and I love the meatballs. The only problem is that sometimes the broth is not hot enough and eating a luke warm bowl of pho is off putting. During the summer I get the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls. DELICIOUS. The grilled pork has the right taste with a hint of lemongrass and not dry. The egg rolls at Huong's are my favorite because the flavors in the egg rolls are balanced without it being too salty when you pour in the fish sauce. I sometimes order the bun bo hue also. As long as they stick to the bigger rice noodles instead of the small one, the dish is pretty much almost perfect.

Best pho in Columbus so far! Upon entering you are greeted by a table of homemade treats for purchase (a good sign!) and the one waitstaff, an older gent. Extensive menus feature all kinds of hard to find true Viet dishes like Banh Cuon and Ban Uot (which I will be back to try), and you are given a note pad to write down the menu item numbers of your order. Simple! Efficient! The interior has some true flair, which I always prefer in a gem like Huong Vietnamese. 60's rock was playing, with a tv rolling footage of the Rolling Stones and the like. Just cozy and unusual and wonderful. Then - the pho. AMAZINGLY flavorful broth! Thank goodness, I've really really been needing to find my go to spot in Columbus since moving here this summer and this is certainly it. I cannot wait to cure future hangovers or just to come try some homemade, authentic Vietnamese dishes.
