🇺🇸 NC Food Hunt | Delicious Soup Base ✨ Recommended Vietnamese
When it comes to the most must-try Vietnamese pho in Greensboro—Van Loi II (Wan Li) definitely sits firmly at the top of my list 🔥! This restaurant is always bustling with business—there’s a steady stream of people coming in for dine-in and takeout, and it’s even packed on weekdays 🥢. For authentic Vietnamese pho, a good soup base is everything—and the beef pho here nails it! The soup is incredibly clear and smooth, not greasy at all, with a subtle aroma of beef bones that lingers on the palate~ When you order the noodle soup, it comes with a big plate of toppings: fresh basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and a type of green leaf that’s "like cilantro but more fragrant" (a common Vietnamese herb). The meat slices are from ribeye—tender yet chewy, making every bite of the whole bowl super satisfying 😋. Their Vietnamese sour soup hot pot is also a must-try! It’s spicy, sour, and slightly sweet—super appetizing 🥘. You can choose to pair it with rice or noodles ‼️ The seafood in it is also generous and fresh~ I especially love the elephant ear plant stems in the pot—they soak up all the savory soup, with a spongy texture that leaves you craving more after every bite. Their fried spring rolls are the thin-skinned kind—the outer layer is crispy and crunchy, and the filling inside has glass noodles and mung beans, with a unique flavor. Dip them in the restaurant’s house-made fish sauce dressing—sweet, sour, salty, and fragrant—and you’ll definitely keep popping them into your mouth nonstop 🥡. On the other hand, while their BBQ roast duck and roasted meats smell amazing, the prices are a bit on the high side. So it’s recommended to focus mainly on the noodle soups, hot pot, and Vietnamese hot dishes—they offer much better value for money ‼️ ✨ Van Loi II ✨📍 3829-D High Point Rd, Greensboro, NC #food #NorthCarolina #NCFoodHunt #HiddenGems #Greensboro #NCGreensboro #VietnamesePho #pho #GlobalFoodCriticContest #VietnamesePho
