After attending Saturday Mass with a friend, we decided to join a couple of ladies that go to Rang Dong's often. It was only a block away from Central Avenue and Webster. The vegetables were fresh and the soup broth was great, however the chicken was over cooked. I was in love with the fresh vegetables. I would go again to try something different next time.

Walked in and made a to go order for 8 people. They are so kind and offered us to sit even though we were take out. We ordered at the register and were given water and a table while we waited. It was very fast service as they made the food fresh. The place had many customers and their service was excellent.
The food and drinks we ordered were fresh, delicious and made correctly. We ordered 4 grilled pork Bahn mi sandwiches that had fresh bread and plenty of food inside and good flavor. Then 2 orders of beef pho that was fresh with the meat and all things put on the side since it was to go. The veggies and toppings were plentiful and fresh as well (including packs of plum sauce and sirracha). We also ordered fired egg rolls (looked delish but was too full to try) as well as 2 Vietnamese teas and a Vietnamese coffee. All were so flavorful and so good! Highly recommend.

Rang Dong is an awesome spot if you're looking for affordable grub! One dish you absolutely have to try is their Bo Kho, it is incredibly yummy. This beef stew is packed with flavor, thanks to a slow-cooked broth loaded with spices like cinnamon, star anise, and lemongrass. It’s rich, savory, and just the right amount of spicy.
The beef is super tender, practically melting in your mouth, and the broth is so fragrant it’ll have you hooked from the first bite. They serve it with either warm baguette slices or noodles ( had mine with noodles ), making it the perfect hearty meal. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything just tastes fresh and well-balanced.
On top of the great food, the vibe at Rang Dong is cozy and welcoming, it is definitely a small mom and pop business, The staff is super friendly and attentive. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a laid-back dinner with friends, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese, Rang Dong and their Bo Kho are totally worth checking out!

The place is small but the food is good.👍
Haven't eaten at this venue for about 3 and a half years. I was happy to see it was still open. I came here for the PHO. As 3 and a half years ago it had the same great taste. Price increased but that was expected. I will continue to come here to this small venue everytime I come visit.
$10 for the grilled pork banh mi, incredible bread! Vegetables didn't taste very pickled. our server was so nice :)
Was in the area and I was so cold and needed a hot meal. I ended up ordering the springs rolls without pork, and it was you know the basic. They didn't clean the end trails well, and the rolls were quite small (btw there were 4 pieces, which is 2 rolls cut in half) . The peanut sauce was watered down & lacking flavor. Then I ordered the beef stew with the rice noodles, and it was inedible to me with a slight strange bitter flavor that was unpalettable to me. The beef was cooked till tenderness, but the overall flavor was off. I can see it being a good dish for someone who has a baby palette because it was bland and bitter. Service was smooth and nice. Vegetables served with the food was washed well and fresh. I can't really recommend this place because as a vietnamese woman raised in a viet home the flavor lacked for me, and the prices are quite high. This could be an intro restaurant for someone who's afraid of flavor cause it's a safe bland flavor. The bill was 35 for a drink, fresh spring rolls, and a bowl of bitter beef stew that i couldn't eat. They said they must've put too much curry seasoning in the stew. My words of wisdom for the cooks is- Balance is key when cooking.
Btw i left with my taste buds unhappy and still hungry! Sick a huge disappointment 😞
Eat at your own risk
This is my go-to pho place, and I can’t bring myself to go anywhere else! Their pho is amazing, but I especially like their Cơm Sườn Nướng. The food here is consistently delicious. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

we enjoyed their Bun' & House Special. Great Customer service, I asked for additional sauce {no problem} & she came to refill water & check on us. Another plus is they have a parking lot

Not a big fan of this place. Everything was expensive from their pho to banh mi and iced coffee. Pictures online showed phin filters, but I saw they were already premade waiting to be filled with ice. $7 is definitely steep for iced coffee. The meat wasn't high quality either and the overall flavor profile seemed bland. Not the best but certainly not the worst place.
