Good soup on a rainy day. Broth was flavorful, noodles bouncy, pork tender. Pho was also very good, good portion sizes.
The banh mis are great! Good deal on buying four. Fish cake one was excellent and so was the pork. A bit too much mayo for my taste but made a great sandwich to take for a long car ride.

There is a reason they sell out early everyday! Really delicious grilled pork, chicken or combo bahn mi. The fresh baguette is my favorite part. There is something about it that makes the sandwich taste even better than other places.
Great value. $6 per bahn mi. If you buy 4 sandwiches, you get a $2 discount. My favorite bahn mis!

Food here is not too bad and reasonably priced. A tasty bahn-mi sandwich will set you back $5-$6 in 2024. They also carry rice plates and noodles. The seating is not glamorous but does the job. The iced Vietnamese coffee is good.

This place is a home away from home.
I grew up in a Vietnamese home where the food was made with honest live whole my mom talked on the phone with my “aunties” gossiping and chatting away. It’s an Asian mom thing. Here, while you eat, the ladies in a single sentence will weave between Hokkien, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Listening to the banter and laughing put me back home in my mom or my grandma’s presence. It helped me emotionally during the pandemic while traveling home was a bit more sensitive or harder.
Now the food. One test I like to do with pho is I’d take home the soup and refrigerate it. If the soup turns to jello it’s truly made from painstaking beef broth simmered for hours. If the soup is liquid, it’s powder based beef stock. Needless to say this place does it the right way with real beef broth. Come taste it, you’ll see what I mean.

The first time I bought 1 grilled pork banh mi sandwich. The second time I bought 2 of those. The third time I may buy 4 to get $2 off. Each grilled pork sandwich is currently $6 out the door (cash only) and is heavenly tasty.

Ordered 4 banh mi, cause they have a buy 3 get 1 free deal. They were decent for what I payed for, the four sandwiches I chose we’re $4 each so I basically payed $12 for 4. The baguettes we’re basic, a variety of sizes and shape. As for the fillings they gave a single layer of the filling of choice, a generous spread of mayo on both side of the bread, pickled carrots and radish, mint, 2-3 slices of jalapenos and a drizzle of what I assume was fish sauce. Overall the banh mi were ok, they weren’t bad, but nothing really stood out about them.

Sandwich was fire, the space itself is definitely dated but would get banh mi here again.

Chicken pho and beef noodle soups were delicious and the fresh ginger on the side was a nice touch.

Old school restaurant. They don’t accept credit cards, so be forewarned, but the food was very good. I had a beef and egg noodle soup and it was delicious.

The best of the best. Every other bahn mi place you can taste the shortcuts and the savings that they take on their meat, not here. The freshest, and tastiest sandwiches around! I highly recommend this shop to any Bahn Mi lovers!
