Vietnamese pho is the Lang Van east Charlotte signature, a slow-simmered beef-bone broth ladled over rice noodles with thin-sliced beef, served with herbs,.

Vietnamese immigrants brought pho to Charlotte's east-side corridor along Shamrock Drive and Central Avenue starting in the late 20th century, after the post-Vietnam-war resettlement programmes through the 1980s. Lang Van opened in 1990 and was awarded Charlotte's only Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025 for the family-run kitchen's pho and broader Vietnamese menu. Le's Sandwiches and Saigon Palace round out the canonical Charlotte Vietnamese addresses.
