I've been here many times and the food is always amazing! My go to is the #34. I love that it's owned and ran by a local family. Best place in Lincoln for pho both dine in and carry out!

First time at Bing Tau Pho Grill, I came to celebrate my daughter Erika's birthday, the atmosphere was very nice and clean, Daniel the manager took care of us, fantastic service, The food was amazing and very tasty. Highly recommend. I had the seafood and pork with clear and rice noodles. My daughter had Vermicelli Grilled Chicken. Thank you, will be back.

WOW. Incredible food!! I got the chicken & pork pho. 10/10!!!! Spring roll (has shrimp!) is amazing too. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. Love that it’s family owned too!

If you want that authentic Vietnamese cuisine (from the soothing, savoring pho to juicy, delicious BBQ), then Vung Tau Pho Grill is the place for you! It is a family-owned restaurant! The quality of the food exceeds my expectations every time! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Not only do they do dine-ins, but also take-outs. Recently, I ordered the Com Ga Nuong (grilled chicken over rice) and Peach Boba w/ Tapioca for take-out and ate it on campus. It was delicious indeed. Give my compliments to the chef! I am always hungry for more!

Pictures from two visits. Nice variety of choices and flavors. Large portion sizes and a good balance of proteins and veg. The 5 are 4.5 rounded up for an overall excellent option for date night.

This is my favorite place to enjoy the healing powers of pho. I’d recommend getting the Pho thit nuong. I don’t know how they do it, but this dish is absolutely celestial. So. Dang. Delicious!!!! The service is always lovely, and we’ve always left full, satisfied, and excited to come back for more.

The beef meatball pho is delicious and the hot tea! And the pho with lots of different beef cuts, including tripe, according to my husband. Friendly employees! Clean place. Some of the best prices for pho we've found!

Belinda Carlisle once said: "oooh, heaven is a place on Earth." Though not confirmed, sources close to her have told me she was referring to a specific restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska: Vung Tau. It is the best restaurant in Lincoln. No competition. I've been coming to here for as a long as I can remember, and not once have they faltered. In the past year I've moved away from Lincoln, and often find myself craving a meal from here– specifically the #18 – very frequently. In fact, I'm craving it right now. Hence why I'm writing this review. A bed of chilled, crispy lettuce and cucumbers topped with cold noodles, served with a hot slab of the best pork you'll ever eat. I always add chili oil, a fried egg, and wash it down with hot tea. TRUST ME. There is no better value meal in town and I usually get two servings out of their portions. Occasionally, on colder days, I'd divert to their incredible pho (the #7 is my choice.) If you are feeling like a sweet treat, their boba is a knockout. Family members rave about the avocado, but I'm partial to a Thai tea or taro flavor. You really cannot go wrong ordering here. The staff are friendly and always remember a regular. Whenever I come back to town, this place is a priority. It should be a priority for you, too. Support small, people! Vung Tau– I'll see you when I'm home.
