This place is very busy. This is our second time trying to eat here. The last time we couldn't find parking so we left. Parking is a pain in the butt, because it is so limited. We had the pho dac biet and spring rolls. The Pho Dac Biet was delicious. It is a little bit on the sweeter side, but not overpowering. Good color and depth. There was an abundant amount of meat, but I wish I could've gotten more tendons. I got three smaller pieces of tendon, which was a little disappointing, but not a deal breaker by an means. Condiments were thai basil, jalepenos, bean sprouts, cilantro (nice touch and I always consider a plus), lemon (which honestly I prefer lime as I think the extra sourness cuts through the broth better, but it works fine), soy sauce, hoison, sriracha, chili sauce, chili oil (we had to ask for it). The chili oil was not very oily which was still delicious, but not typical of most pho restaurant. Overall delicious 5/5 Fresh shrimp spring rolls were soft, beautiful and tasty. Love the extra peanuts & carrots n the on top of the sauce. 5/5 Service was fast and efficient. They had an expansive menu with tons of options. Ambiance is very much the vibe of a typical mom & pop pho restaurant.

Lang Van is such a fantastic local spot with tons of character and amazing food. I went with my wife, daughter, and close friends, and we all had a wonderful time. We started with the crispy spring rolls, which were so good, and then most of us got Pho. You can choose your meats and how they’re cooked, but honestly, the broth is the real star—so flavorful! We also tried the fried shrimp rice and the Bun Bo Cao, and both were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, tasty, and just perfect. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Simply amazing! I had never even heard of this place until a friend brought me here. The service is amazing, we wanted for absolutely nothing and it really did feel like we were family while dining. I got the beef skewer vermicelli and it was delicious! I’m eating it leftover for lunch as I write this. Soooo good!!!! 10/10!

I saw a video by a food vlogger on Instagram about this place and had to try it. I took my son since we both enjoy trying new ethnic foods. We were not disappointed! Don’t let the sparse exterior fool you. We were greeted and attended by the absolute sweetest waitress and staff. She patiently answered our questions and gave us instructions on how to incorporate the abundant fresh herbs that are served with the different dishes. We tried the yellow pancake filled with chicken (a must!), spring rolls, Pho (waitress recommended #30 since it was our first time having Pho) and a bamboo steamed basket with beef and vegetables. We only ordered one of each and it was MORE than enough food for two grown men. The spices combined so well with the crisp, fresh herbs and the pickled vegetables that were served on the side. The accompanying sauces were just icing on the cake. 100% recommended!

Passing through and saw this place so decided to stop for lunch. It was clean and the customer service was excellent. The food was excellent as well. We ordered a bowl of pho and a bowl of vermicelli. Will definitely stop by next time around.

(If I could give 6 stars, I would!) Lang Van is hands-down the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, they greeted us like family, making us feel genuinely welcome. The entire staff took a team approach to service, each person attentive and focused on giving us an exceptional dining experience. Having grown up as a server myself, I was incredibly impressed by their seamless teamwork and attention to detail. The food arrived fast, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious! Every bite was a delight, with flavors that truly stood out. This isn’t just dining—it’s an experience where you’re treated like family. I’ll be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch service!

A Charlotte treasure! The best food and the best service! My family had been coming here for decades! The most amazing owners, she can make the perfect dish for you with just 3 questions! Never disappoints! She knows our orders by heart no matter how long it's been since we've come in. I was excited to bring my new baby so she could see 4 generations in a row. Will always recommend and hope they're always around!
