The beef broth is really good. But the vegetables broth wasn’t our style. The grilled pork, fried pork and vermicelli platter tastes great. Iced Vietnamese coffee is perfect for me, wasn’t too sweet. There’s only one person who is serving , so it takes a while to get your order but not crazy long. Nice, clean and easy to communicate. Overall,I enjoy these so much.

The shrimp summer rolls and pork summer rolls are my favourites! The grilled chicken over rice and the salmon over rice are my favourite entry. Such great food!!

I can't share a photo, the Pho-- it's so good, it's like a holy whole-body healthy-food infusion; it is so good it just disappears. Top-tier homemade Bone broth is fresh, ample, gluten-free rice noodles, the served Bean spout and Basil and pepper always crisp, available pepper oil will sear with wonderful flavor if you add it, and or real sriracha & hoisin. It's the kind of place that James Beard might not have reviewed because he wanted to keep the place to himself. It's simply the best local pho, and worth traveling to savor.

Absolutely love this place! Have been going maybe twice a week and it is amazing, if anything it keeps getting better as I go. The pho is phenomenal and even better service!

Just had the most authentic and comforting Vietnamese meal at Van's! Their Pho was a masterpiece - rich, flavorful broth brimming with tender beef and noodles. The spring rolls were crispy and bursting with fresh flavors. What truly made the experience special was the warmth and hospitality of the owners. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel like part of their family. Van's is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious and authentic Vietnamese food in Albany.
