Doan's Vietnamese Cuisine

Nestled in the heart of Charlotte at 5937 South Blvd, Doan's Vietnamese Cuisine invites diners to embark on a flavorful journey through authentic Vietnamese fare with a special spotlight on their signature pho offerings. This charming Vietnamese and pho restaurant artfully blends traditional recipes with fresh ingredients, delivering a menu that is both comforting and invigorating to the palate.

Their Eye Round Beef with Shrimp Pho stands out as a master of balance — a fragrant, clear broth simmered to perfection, richly layered with tender slices of beef and delicate shrimp that melt effortlessly on the tongue. Complemented by fresh pho condiments like bright basil, crisp bean sprouts, and zesty lime, every bite feels vibrant and nuanced. Not to be missed is the Broken Rice House dish, packed with grilled beef, pork, or chicken that boasts a smoky char and satisfyingly juicy texture, perfect alongside their cool Goi Cuon Chay spring rolls or the crispy, golden Banh Xeo — a Vietnamese yellow pancake bursting with savory shrimp, succulent chicken or pork, and fresh, crunchy bean sprouts.

The menu thrives on variety, offering standout options such as the Noodle Salad with Pork and Chicken, the savory Chef Special Curry Chick Pho Style, and the Bun DAC Viet which layers textures and flavors seamlessly. Vegetarians will appreciate the Lemongrass Tofu, Tofu & Mixed Vegetable dishes, and Fried Tofu, all thoughtfully prepared to showcase vibrant, authentic tastes without compromise. For a refreshing lift, their house-brewed Vietnamese Coffee and refreshing Thai Iced Tea serve as perfect accompaniments, each sip adding a lovely, creamy sweetness or a cooling reprieve from the heat of their carefully measured chili oil.

The atmosphere at Doan’s is as inviting as its menu, with a calming ambiance highlighted by tasteful decorations and soft, relaxing music that invites diners to linger and savor every dish. Friendly, attentive service enhances the experience, with staff going above and beyond — one guest even shared how the team kindly reheated their meal so they could enjoy it warm while working.

Customer voices paint a vivid picture of satisfaction and discovery: the savory, meat-rich pho often steals the spotlight for passionate diners, while dishes like the fresh, crunchy summer rolls and their perfectly balanced peanut dipping sauce leave lasting impressions. While some have noted slight room for improvement—such as pork summer rolls needing a touch more moisture—the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive, praising the restaurant’s consistent quality and the genuine warmth of its hospitality.

For those craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine where every bowl of pho and plate of rice tells a story of rich heritage and masterful cooking, Doan’s Vietnamese Cuisine is a true Charlotte gem. Whether you're a pho aficionado or new to the flavors of Vietnam, this welcoming spot promises a memorable dining experience that hits all the right notes — comforting, fresh, and utterly delicious.
