| Comments: | I have been eating at Hien Vuong since I started working downtown in 1990 and discovered it. I have NEVER had a bad or indifferent meal. The setting itself is functional, it's in the City Market. Linoleum, dinette tables, plain chairs. But the food has always been wonderful! |

| Comments: | The food was good but menu was very limited. Definitely not a place for a person looking for a typical Pho restaurant! Another drawback is they serve no alcohol, play no music (only the loud buzzing of the flourescent lighting) and only take cash. |
