Pho Vieng — Restaurant in Haltom City

I don’t say this lightly, time will tell, but… this might be my new favorite restaurant. Oh. My. Word. Okay. We ordered take out for 5 of us. My husband and I both ordered the seafood pad Thai, my two older kids got beef Pho, and I ordered my baby Pad See Ew from the kids menu. We also ordered the Lao Sausage (get the “house sauce” it’s magical.)

Every single thing was perfection. IN A TO GO ORDER!! What??? How in the world??? The seafood pad Thai had mussels (so sweet and fresh), shrimp (like 5 nice sized ones), squid that was cooked perfectly, and imitation crab. AH-MAZING. The noodles had that perfectly reduced sauce and perfectly roasted peanuts… drooling while I write this. The Pho I got for my kids was so rich and well rounded.

The restaurant wasn't even busy. It was also a little expensive. Almost $17 for a large bowl. I could get that and springrolls somewhere else. But, I'd still come back if I was...

Went to see what they have and ended up getting pad Thai for myself and it was delicious, my ex wife had their orange chicken which is also delicious. I tried the heavenly beef jerky and it's some of the best beef jerky I've ever had, it's more of a teriyaki flavor but that's my favorite anyway. Going to go back to try the crispy pork belly next time. The owner is nice and answered all our questions. We got it to go since they had a birthday party about to start. I highly recommend this place. Only one other place around that has great pad Thai. The price is also reasonable. I almost forgot I tried the mango sticky rice and...
