Lan Viet Market - Columbus

Surprising about the good reviews. I had a chicken bean mi, lack of sweetness in it was usually a chicken sandwich to be fair

I got a chicken banh mi and it was amazing. I will dream about that sandwich for years to come. I had already agreed to split it with the rest of my family before I tasted it or I don't think I would have shared at all!

GET THE COMBO 9,10,15 ADD HALF OF CONTAINER BROTH ADD YOUR SEASONINGS ENJOY....

Pho has always been one of my comfort foods. It brings me memories of better times. As I was going on about my day, I decided to order Pho from this restaurant. When the food arrived, the noodles were separated in a tall container instead of a bowl. While it was inconvenient, that wasn't a deal breaker just yet. The noodles did not slide out easily as one would expect nor did it separate as I poured my broth in. I had to use my utensil to break apart the clump of noodle which just resulted in sad, short noodles. The bean sprouts, lime, and jalapenos came in minuscule amounts that only left me disappointed. Priced at $12 per beef bowl, I did not feel I got my money's worth. Maybe the experience is different in person, but I cannot say the take out was anywhere near good.

Located in the Short North Market this place has ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PHO no matter what flavor you get !!! NEVER disappoints. The flavor is always the same, the service is a bit lacking, portions are generous and the price is right. Seating near the stand is limited they do have a couple of stools you can sit on or there is plenty of seating on the second floor. The market overall is usually pretty busy during lunch hour. The best time to visit in my opion would be early afternoon when the rush has died down.
