We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the bistro. The dining area is cozy with a few tables and a window side bar for eating. We started with the garden roll and it was served with a smooth creamy peanut sauce. It was so fresh and had a nice chew, very tasty. For lunch my husband had the vegan Bani mah sandwich with tofu and mushrooms and he enjoyed every bite. I had the garden pho and it was delightful. The broth is unique with a stronger anise flavor than traditional pho. It was a generous bowl, and I could have easily made it into two meals with a to go container. We will be back

I came with my partner for lunch around 11:30am. The place was empty and there was only one person working, but we had a good experience. The jazz music gave the place a casual cafe vibe. We ordered the vegetarian pho and the meatball pho. The food came out fairly quickly and came with the usual sides of bean sprouts, chilis, basil, and lime. The sides were not super large portions, but the pho itself was. I enjoyed the vegetarian pho; the broth was packed with umami and there were plenty of hearty mushrooms, veggies, and tofu. My partner enjoyed his meatball pho as well. The prices were above what I’ve seen at other typical Vietnamese places, but for a local restaurant, I’d come back just for the convenience.

We got some delicious banh mi from here! I got the vegetarian tofu and shiitake which was soft and flavorful. We also got the braised pork banh mi, which was soft, flavors were nice but wished there was a bit more sweetness to it. Just craving that salty sweet combo! The bread was also a highlight, it tastes super fresh. Overall they were playing great music, the staff did their thing, and our meal was tasty. The employee recommended the shrimp banh mi, which we will try another time!

Went to pick up for lunch tasted good. Interesting flavors, my girlfriend got the veggie sandwich which was amazing. I got the braised pork sandwhich which tasted good, but I do want to try the lemongrass- shrimp sandwich next time.

The bahn mi were delicious! Both the caramelized pork and the lemongrass shrimp were great. The rolls were good, with plenty of veggies on the sandwich the the shrimp were perfectly tender.

I did not have a good experience here. While the atmosphere is nice (clean and welcoming), the customer service was unfriendly and the pho broth tastes nothing like a traditional broth. Additionally, they do not offer steak (tai) or brisket (nam) with the pho, only meatballs. I have never been to a pho restaurant that didn’t at least offer pho tai – maybe that’s on me for not checking the menu close enough before visiting. Their meatballs were tasty but unfortunately I could not enjoy the dish because the broth was so far from traditional flavors.

Me and my husband ordered Shrimp and Garden Pho, it was all delicious! Very fresh and savory. I really loved tofu in Garden Pho, it was so delicious! I really recommend Garden Pho if you love vegetables. I’d love to go back next time again 🙂

We came here while on vacation and the Pho was amazing. Quick service and nice staff. We also got shrimp spring rolls and they were so yummy! The peanut sauce was smooth and rich. Food was overall very fresh and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend for authentic Vietnamese food that hits the spot.

Unfortunately, the food misses the mark. The phở lacked the rich flavor and traditional spices that make this dish so special. It also falls short on depth and is missing traditional protein options like tripe and other cuts of meat typically found in authentic phở.
The bánh mì was equally disappointing. The bread lacked the signature light, crispy crust and fluffy interior, feeling more like a generic sandwich roll. The fillings were sparse and uninspired, missing the balance of fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and savory proteins that make a great bánh mì shine. It felt like a poor imitation rather than a true representation of this iconic dish.

I’m Vietnamese and eat pho all my life…so my comment might be a bit harsh…
I was so excited to try this place since there isn’t too many pho options in this neighborhood. Unfortunately the meat ball pho was meh. I don’t understand why they used a veggie broth for a meat noodle soup. Seems like they are trying to please more people with veggie options, but they are definitely not making an authentic tasting pho.
Pros: very nice staff and the restaurant looked very clean.
