Pho Lang Thang

Nestled in Cincinnati’s historic Findlay Market, Pho Lang Thang brings the heart of Vietnam to the Midwest with a bustling, modern café‑style space. The front counter showcases a bakery run by pastry chef Paige Trout, offering steamed buns, a ham‑egg‑cheese croissant, and daily specials from Thursday to Sunday starting at 7 a.m. Fresh cream puffs, chocolate‑chunk cookies, matcha Swiss rolls, cassava cake and honey‑comb cake line the display, inviting breakfast patrons to linger over a cup of family‑roasted Lang Thang coffee. The main dining area serves traditional Vietnamese dishes: slow‑simmered pho with beef, chicken or vegan broth, crisp bánh mì on airy baguettes, light bún salads, and hearty cơm tấm with grilled pork chop or the special Đặc Biệt style. House specials such as Bò Lúc Lắc, Bò Tái Chanh, Chèm Chép Nướng and Cá Thì Lá showcase bold flavors. Happy hour runs Tuesday through Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm, with $2 off beer, cocktails and wine, while Moody Monday, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Tapped Thursday and Friskey Friday each offer additional discounts on drinks. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables, subtle Vietnamese lanterns and open‑kitchen views, creating a warm, communal atmosphere perfect for family gatherings, office lunches or casual dates. Outdoor seating faces the market’s bustling lanes, and the venue accepts online orders, reservations via OpenTable, and catering for pick‑up or delivery. With a 4‑star rating and over 1,700 reviews, Pho Lang Thang is a beloved Cincinnati staple for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and coffee.
