    Very delicious little spot on campus. You order at the counter and they will call out your number. You can pick from a bowl or a sandwich. I always get a side of fries because they are fantastic. I believe they recently updated the inside so there is a good amount of seating.

    I saw an Instagram video of a camera guy trying to give $1k to this restaurant because of how generous the owner was to help out by donating some sandwiches and feeding the homeless then I saw the reviews and it's a 4.9 stars, that's crazy good ratings so I had to try these banh mi sandwiches. I got a grilled pork banh mi combo (with seasoned fries and a drink) and my boyfriend got a grilled pork and beef banh mi combo. I am so used to eating a banh mi by itself that I never thought having fries with them would do it justice but boy was I wrong the fries were by far one of the best I've had, it's well-seasoned and crispy.

    Food was wonderful, staff was very courteous, restaurant was very very clean, with a cozy atmosphere. We found the restaurant from a very sweet online video they were part of. Highly recommend, will definitely be a regular customer.

    We stopped in for quick dinner after a long day of appointments. This turned out to be the PERFECT place to grab a bite to eat. The food is great, the service is excellent and the decor makes the place so so comfortable to just let the day go and enjoy the food. We both had the chicken lemongrass sandwich and two pork egg rolls. My husband also had fries and a soda. Everything was excellent. The egg rolls were hot and crisp. The sandwiches had the perfect amount of cucumber, jalapeno, green onion, pickled carrots and daikon and my husband said his fries were great. Accessibility: the tables are narrow so if you're in a wheelchair you can't pull all the way up to the table. I have a narrow rigid chair and even mine didn't fit between the table legs. At the large 8 person table, the underside of the table is solid and flared and wheelchair footplates prevent pulling up. I do highly recommend checking this place out. I hope they add an accessible table or two. I'll definitely be back!

    I really liked the Vermicelli Salad. It is very delicious and the amount is more than enough with fried tofu and egg rolls. Especially the size of egg rolls are very big and tasty. I ordered online and they did a good job in packing it. Update: this time I ordered chicken curry and veggie egg rolls in the restaurant. The taste of the chicken curry was good, and egg rolls were very tasty. This was one of the best packing i have ever seen.

    This low-key but comfortable eatery knocked our socks off with a rainbow of flavors. The nondescript entrance, kind of like entering a strip mall establishment, leads you to order at a counter. The menu is simple, divided between sandwiches, wraps, salads, and bowls. Essentially, you pick one of those items and then pick your favorite protein to go with it. (There are vegan options as well.) There is a nice selection of appetizers and sides to accompany your dinner. The dining room is plain but comfortable. We chose the pork and beef combo, the chicken, and ordered pork in our spring rolls. Service is friendly, but slow. We were the only people in the restaurant, and it took approximately 15 - 20 minutes to get a sandwich, a rice bowl, and an appetizer. Oh slow service notwithstanding, the portion sizes were generous and the flavors were robust. Definitely worth the wait. I’ve honestly never had a more flavorful spring roll. All of the ingredients were exceptionally fresh, and the fried pork strips inside burst with flavor. My pork and beef rice bowl was essentially a mound of banh mi ingredients, layered over rice. Mouthwateringly good. The pork wrap was also excellent. (They are very generous with the cilantro, so if you’re not a fan, make sure you let them know to leave it out.) The pricing is also very reasonable. Combine the great value with great food and friendly service and you have a five-star establishment. We will definitely be bringing friends and family back here for more.

    Great quick stop for Vietnamese food near U of M. I got the Mock Duck Curry sandwich, which is 100% vegan as-is, and SO good!! The flavors were great and the texture of the mock duck was also very good. You can make a meal a combo for $2 with fries and a drink which is nice. The entire meal was $11 and ended up being two meals for me. Sandwich was a great size, and everything was super fresh. The employees were very kind and helpful in picking out menu items. Their tofu bahn mi is also vegan sans mayo. French fries are also top notch, they are crispy.

    Great little shop with a relaxing atmosphere and a couch to wait for my order. I had to stop here after traveling 4½ hrs. to get some Bahn Mi sandwiches because of how generous the owner was in the video that went viral. I was not disappointed.

    Great staff. Absolutely horrible bun mi. Fatty pieces of pork overpowered by a hoisan flavored sauce. The bread was chewy af. I ate half because I was starving and threw the rest away.
