Tasty vegan options, filling and customizable. I was surprised by the amount of flavors and freshness. They have amazing tofu patties and veganese. I like the how customizable their dishes are, they can accommodate several dietary restrictions. They also do great catering, really yummy and creative.

Really cool aesthetic, but the food is very inauthentic and small in portion for the pho. There are only two small pieces of meat in the soup and no bean sprouts. The broth is bland. This is white washed pho.

Ginger Deli is a must! The food is simple, fresh, and delicious. I have been coming here for almost 10 years, first as a student and now EVERY time I am back in Ann Arbor. It has never disappointed. Bahn Mi is amazing, and the Pho is the best hangover cure out there. The Pho broth is homemade daily and is the best. Just an awesome home grown spot. Flavors speak for themselves!!!

Ginger Deli is a must in my office! It’s a healthy alternative with “traditional Vietnamese” dishes, perfect for a quick bite and always a friendly experience. I’ve tried it both through delivery and in person, and it never disappoints. The rolls, pho, and banh mi are all excellent. It’s a refreshing change in Ann Arbor, where a lot of food can feel microwaved — you can really tell everything here is freshly made and extremely healthy.

I love everything about Ginger Deli. Great service (fast order completion, friendly and helpful staff) and ambience (hip, relaxing vibe—including a cello in the corner!), and most importantly, incredible food. I had the pancetta banhmi – this is one serious sandwich. Everything is made in-house, including the bread, which has a crisp, light crust and soft, inviting crumb—the perfect vehicle for fresh, flavorful ingredients, with the tender pancetta in the spotlight. It is a veritable symphony in your mouth. Follow it up with a fragrant, soul-nourishing bowl of beef pho—one of the best I’ve had. Tie it all together with a Vietnamese-style iced coffee. Don’t sleep on Ginger Deli!

The most pitiful banh mi I’ve ever had. One of my all time favorite sandwiches and they give you a morsel for the price of a full sandwich ($10). This is a review of their UofM hospital cafeteria presence. Almost no veg, no pâté. Good flavors and decent baguette otherwise.

ordered a vegetarian tofu banh mi to-go to eat on my trip out of town. just opened it up to find that it contains one tiny piece of tofu as well as a lot of some kind of sliced meat? unfortunately the sandwich is completely inedible, and i was too far away to go back. very disappointing. the space is cute and people working in the shop were very kind though!

Everything on the menu has lovely balance of flavor and texture, crispy, soft, sweet, salty, umami, acid. My favorite is the pancetta bahn mi, second is the vermicelli bowl. Quick service and consistently delicious food every time. It’s your (almost) corner deli, a little rough on the interior but you know you’ll be back again and again.

Super disappointing experience here. The beef bahn mi had basically no beef on it (see photo), didn’t have some of the toppings listed on the menu, and was honestly just pretty gross. It also rang up as more expensive than the price on the menu, which I didn’t notice until after I left because there’s no way to see what you’re being charged for when you’re at the counter.

Ok, so I don’t normally give such a low review but to be quite frank this was by far the WORST phó I have ever had and I’ve been eating phó for a VERY long time.
I give credit where credit is deserved and here the only credit they deserve is the pleasantly simple atmosphere and the seating outside.
Now the service was neutral. No bathrooms anywhere I turned to look.
Now, food.
The broth was Decent but the noodles and the beef tasted like cardboard. The noodles mushed up in our mouths and it just didn’t have the rice noodle texture phó noodles are like. No bean sprouts, no basil no side of lime they just threw a pice of lime in my broth. So disappointing and had it been a different setup I would have asked for a refund and I NEVER do that. On a brighter note the bhan mi seems to be popular, maybe I should’ve tried that. Smh.
