    This place is my favorite! I love their Pho and Pork Bao. Their thai tea boba is great too! The food is just amazing. Unfortunately haven’t tried the bahn mi yet but my family says it was great. I look forward to trying it next time we go though! Edit: Finally tried the Bahn Mi and it was delicious! Unfortunately they were out of the Vietnamese pork meatball (Xíu Mại) so I got the Vegan Sweet and Sour one at the recommendation of the server and it was so good. If you add the sauce it comes with it isn’t dry at all. I look forward to trying the Xíu Mại next time!

    Fantastic! Vegan Sweet and sour banh mi was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The seitan had a crispy texture and the sauce was very well balanced. The bread also was surprisingly good. I also got a bao which I didn’t enjoy as much. Still tasty but it was sort of dry. Random side note the ice is some of the best ice. Update- I went back and I think I like this place even more.

    You guys out did yourself. You guys prepared my food perfectly as I asked that I receive it to be reheated the next day. See Photos on how awesome it was packed it for me. I ordered the Vermicelli Salad 33. Korean Marinated Beef and the 12" 10. Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng Vietnamese style BBQ pork! I reheated this the next day and it was absolutely fabulous. Both of us have not enjoyed a meal so much in ages. The salad was so refreshing and light and full of amazing flavor. I had the fish sauce option (as opposed to Soy sauce). The Banh Mi (also with the fish sauce option) made my mouth, belly and heart so happy! Even though I reheated this 24 hours later, it was so fresh and delicious that I will be ordering again soon. Thank you so much, I highly recommend and thank you so much for this one time special accomodation.

    Great find in the west. Most of the Vietnamese restaurants I go to are in the east side of town. It is nice to have an alternative close by, given that gas prices are rising. We ordered: shrimp and pork spring rolls, lemongrass banh mi, and marinated beef bulgogi. Shrimp and pork spring rolls is good. The peanut sauce is too thick to dip the roll; you will need a spoon. Banh mi’s bread is really good, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. You can really see the lemongrass. I would like to have a little bit more meat to match the huge bread and as far as flavor, there’s not much. It is accompanied with a sauce and it is a must to use. Taste better with, bland without. As for the marinated beef, it is quite the opposite, the sauce with it doesn’t pair well. Same thing though, too little meat for the amount of rice with. Prices are higher than other Vietnamese places which may be because of lack of competition un the area. However, the amount of meat in our orders does not justify that price. They do offer a 10% discount to military, healthcare, firemen, and police. Dine in: no one was dining in when we came in. The food came in exactly 15 minutes from the time we ordered. I was expecting the spring rolls sooner as an appetizer but it came the same time as the rest of our order. I think to-go ordering is better as a lot of people came in to pick up orders. Giving them 4 stars instead of 3 as I do plan to come back as this location is convenient - no need to cross the river. I will try their other offerings then. Also, they have a sign in sheet for a 10-week Vegan challenge which tells me this is a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant.

    Go for the banh mi or pho. The banh mi are phenomenal. This time we ordered chicken pho and the Vietnamese grilled chicken rice dish (to-go). The chicken pho is comforting and flavorful. The portion is also quite large. The rice dish was alright. The delicious grilled chicken saved an otherwise semi-bland dish. However, all of the veggies included were fresh and crisp. Our order was ready quickly on a Friday night. The staff were friendly, and the price was reasonable. Overall, this little local restaurant is good and worth trying out.

    Pho is good, could use a tad more seasoning in the broth. They added cinnamon, which didn't help. Small place and good decorations. Food came out at a reasonable time. No issues with parking. Was not busy during lunch time. Bathrooms were clean, but smelled bad.

    Great-tasting broth, very clean flavor, with just the right spice blend. I'm not a vegetarian but I love their vegan bao more than the pork. Just so fresh and savory! Pork bao is good too. If you're feeling me the weather, or just want to warm up, try their ginger tea.

    I hardly ever leave reviews, but this needs a special case. I think the people that left good reviews must be living on a parallel universe where this place is good. The service is bad, I hope she was just having a bad day. You could tell her desire to be at work was zero. That translate into tips but hey! They charge you before you can even try the food. The food was bad, my daughter’s vermicelli was bland at best, the chicken was straight out of a previously cook package and it was served cold, the noodles were bad. The pho was bad, I wish there was one good think I could say but even the water had a bad after taste. This is the poster child of why a lot of businesses close, I hope they can realize the mistakes and improve… a lot

    Restaurant looked clean but that was it. I can’t believe they have a decent reviews on google. People who gave 5 stars probably never had authentic Vietnamese food. We Ordered beef pho and Bun Cha (vermicelli noodle). Noodles were bland and very over cooked. Overall taste was very light not rich in beef or chicken flavor at all. The shop is owned by a group of Hispanic people and it taste like they attempted to make Vietnamese food by looking at google pictures.

    My friend and I were looking for a good place for an early dinner and decided to try something new and local and boy this place did not disappoint! They have such a wonder Selection of bahn mi sandwiches, spring rolls, pho, salads and milk tea, tea and coffees and drinks! We were blown away at how delicious the food was. We ordered the #1, the #15, the bao bun, the vegan pork spring rolls, the avocado smoothie, and the taro milk tea all of that for only $45 and we were STUFFED. The owner is so polite and brought our food and drink right away, they have such a vast selection of vegan options that are out of this work and all of their milk teas have alternative Milks to choose from like almond, coconut or soy milk! We will be going to this place regularly now! So so good! I’m glad we tried this yummy hole in the wall restaurant!

    First time coming here and the lady taking the orders is not friendly and will not suggest or tell you anything about the dishes. You order your food sit down and nobody checks up on you. Pho was good and good portion for the price. Was not a fan of the Bao bun. Food was ready in 15min.

  • 5/5 Dustin 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious and lots of vegan options if that's your thing. They even participated in the Vegan Chef Challenge. I have tried two different banh mi and the pork bao buns. I look forward to trying the pho as well once the weather cools off.

    Ordered to go, chicken and beef Bann Mi and shrimp spring roll. All were so good, lots of flavor, brother tried chicken, liked it. Will definitely order these again.

    How? How is this place rated 4.6 stars??? Vermicelli noodles super soft, meat dried out, and the flavors are waaaay off… like not even close.. maybe it was a good place before, but I would never go again.

  • 5/5 Alana L. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! I have enjoyed their Delicacies on multiple occasions and find that they consistently offer fresh and tasty meals. The serving sizes are worth the money. For a girl like me I can stretch an order o Pho over 2 to 3 meals. I am very picky about tofu but I must say their tofu spring rolls with peanut sauce is made firm and not slimy. Try it, you'll like it!

    Rep behind counter comes off as deceitful for tips when they say “just sign” and it’s defaulted to a 18% tip. Food is great. Place is a little messy
