The Special Pork Chop Rice with Grilled Shrimp was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The shrimp were crispy on the outside and fragrant, and the rice with scallion oil and a egg on top was delicious. The House Special Pho with Rib had a rich, fresh broth that wasn’t greasy, and we were lucky to get the free big bone, which packed with marrow and surprisingly satisfying. The Brisket Pho (only $9.99 dine-in) was an amazing deal, with a generous amount of brisket.

The space is very large, clean, and well decorated. More importantly – the food is fresh and flavorful. You can just tell the ingredients are high quality.
I got the banh mi chao (beef was super tender); also tried the pho dac biet and bun bo hue (free beef rib promotion going on). I’ve only tried the mango smoothie but they have a good variety of drinks, the mango smoothie was definitely better than the average Viet spot. I would recommend any of them! If you’re up north or even in the Seattle area I’d definitely come try this place out.

Really cute cafe serving tasty banh mi and drinks! Our waitress was very kind and attentive. I especially enjoyed the pork floss in the special banh mi, it added a nice saltiness. The mango smoothie was very refreshing and creamy. The atmosphere is cozy, and they have wifi. I will be back to enjoy another tasty snack while catching up on work 🙂

We liked this new Pho, Banh mi spot. Everything was delicious. The Vietnamese coffee was so good too. The server was so kind to us too. Good for kids with high chair and baby pho was free for under 5 years old.

Been here multiple times and have nothing but good things to say. Banh Mis are made fresh and quickly, a great to-go meal if you’re in a rush. They do not skimp on the toppings in their Banh MIs either!
Tried multiple of their fruit tea drinks and they taste great and fresh without being sweet. Staff has always been kind.
UPDATE: Just tried the pho and its very good and flavorful. I don’t know why people say it has no flavor. The beef flavor is definitely there. Pho isn’t meant to be flavor packed, if you want that then get bun bo hue or somewhere else.
Portion was large, lots of meat and noodles (and we went during their $9.99 pho deal).
Service was fast, we got our food in 10 minutes after ordering.
Staff is kind. Space is clean. Definitely one of my new go to spots.

The pho here is very authentic and reminds me of the food I had in vietnam. They use handmade pho noodles. Broth has a ton of depth and flavor. It would be perfect if they had tripe as a meat option. I’ve also had the bun bo hue and it’s good but they don’t have pork blood in it. Prices are also not too bad! Vibes are cute and midcentury.

I ordered Vegetarian Pho. It was so so exceptionally good. Never had such a good vegetarian pho before. One small thing : I would recommend if they could add the description of the Vegetarian Pho soup like they have descriptions of other pho soup too. I am curious to know what are the other things they added in the vegetarian pho soup besides mushrooms, broccoli, tofu, rice noodles that made it taste so good.

Cannot recommend the salted coffee and pho enough! Pho broth is very clearly made in house, it is so rich and flavorful. The noodles are also delicious, homemade in the kitchen! Definitely some passion around the food in this place!
Great portion sizes for the price. Could barely finish Personally I think I’ll be a to-go order person, just so I can take more time to finish my food!

The pho broth and the rare steak are the best I’ve had in the US. You can taste the beefy goodness. The fresh noodle, only available from Friday to Sunday, is really really nice as well. The staff tries their best to be helpful and nice, especially when the restaurant was crowded when we visited. I can see that they care about the food and will definitely come back.

Was excited to see a new Vietnamese restaurant that had Bun Bo Hue. Started with the fish sauce chicken wings which were more sweet than fishy, cuts in the meat provided more surface area for the lightly crunchy dredge. Hubby ordered the House Special which he liked the beefy broth (light aromatics). My BBH had light lemongrass notes and could have more fish sauce for my palate. It was still good, especially with the meats/ham. The banana blossoms (few spots that have BBH provide blossoms) and diced herbs went very well with the broth. Interior was well lit, clean, and spacious. Owner and staff were friendly.
