I also ordered the shrimp salad, which was light, fresh, and had just the perfect amount of dressing — not overpowering, just balanced and refreshing.
If you’re looking for authentic flavors and a satisfying meal in Oshkosh, this spot is definitely worth visiting. I’ll be back!
I am a long time fan of banh mi. I have worked in Hanoi, and my wife, who was born and raised in Hanoi, tried it with me. We both agreed this is not Hanoi style banh mi.
The bread was hard, not big deal, but somehow I could tell it’s not authentic, with a dense interior instead of the light, airy structure traditional Vietnamese baguettes are known for. A proper banh mi should be crisp on the outside and hollow and soft inside. This one felt compact and heavy.
There was also a significant difference between the product served and the images advertised online. The sandwich I received looked noticeably different from what was posted on their Facebook page and was smaller than expected, small enough that my 9 year-old daughter could comfortably hold the entire sandwich in one hand.
After reviewing their Facebook images, the banh mi photos appear identical to those from Duc Huong Banh Mi, a bakery I personally enjoy and have supported in the past where I lived in California. The bread structure, presentation, and filling arrangement match those images, but they do not reflect the actual product served here. I have documentation comparing the images.
Additionally, some other food photos on their page also appear to originate from different sources. When promotional images do not represent the actual products being served, it makes it difficult to trust the accuracy of what is being advertised.
Accurate representation matters. Customers should receive what is shown.
The pho was fine, but the overall experience with the banh mi and the discrepancy in advertising left concerns.
Updated: I was not comfortable when someone filmed me while I was eating pho. That alone already left a bad impression.
A few days after my review, I also noticed that the photos they used from Duc Huong are still up with no changes. At this point, I’m honestly speechless.
Because of that, I don’t really see a reason to come back. Best of luck.
The Egg rolls were amazing! Hands down the best Viet egg rolls that I have had in the states. It was super fresh, filled to the brim, and I loved the black fungus ribboned throughout!
My spouse had the Bun Cha, and said that it reminded them of being back home in Thailand. The Nuoc cham sauce was vibrant, sweet, and delicious.
I loved the Pho presentation, the thick cut onions, scallion, and the freshness of the add on plate as well. The flat hand pulled noodle had an amazing texture and a great bite and chew. The only downside was the broth. It was on then bland side. There are several places that I have been here to in the Midwest, and the broth (to me the most integral part of the dish) is almost tasteless. Maybe it’s a choice to appease the local palate, but unfortunately I wasn’t the biggest fan of the broth.
I will.however be back to try the grilled dishes, and to have those egg rolls again!
Onto the reason I drove an hour round trip to try this spot. The Bahn mi. Lets starts with the bread. Crumbly, chewy in the best ways you want your baguette to be. And the amount of veggies! Honorable mention because I always feel like I’d like just a little more from other shops I’ve ventured. However, the meats stole the show. Marinated to the max so the flavor was deep and complimented every bite.
I highly recommend this shop to anyone and I will be returning very soon!
I loved the atmosphere and the people were very nice. The noodle choice and texture wasn’t for me. The pho broth wasn’t very flavorful and the beef was very fatty and not as good as the other places. I enjoyed the fresh vegetables and the smaller portions. If you’re into more gelatinous types of textures you may love this place but for myself, I would go somewhere else I like a bit better next time.
