Review Summary

Bun Mam Ninh Kieu is widely regarded as a hidden gem in the Plateau, consistently praised for its authentic and flavorful Vietnamese cuisine. Many patrons highlight the generous portion sizes, reasonable prices, and the quality of staple dishes like the house special pho, lemongrass beef bao, and signature bun mam, which is often described as the most authentic available in the region. The service is frequently noted as kind, attentive, and efficient, contributing to a welcoming and cozy dining environment. While the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive, citing it as a go-to spot for comfort food, there are occasional isolated reports of disappointing dishes or inconsistent quality, though these remain exceptions to the generally high praise for the restaurant's diverse menu and homey atmosphere.

This is one of my favourite places to order from. I love their lemongrass beef bao & the coffee. Their sandwiches are also great.

Quaint Vietnamese restaurant off busy St Denis. The place is all about the food. Tried the Bun Mam & Bun Hoi with beef wrapped in betel leaf. The food is on per to any stall Saigon. Great place to try the dishes as it meant to be.

A staple go to of the area! Great portion size, price, & tasty food. I always get a rare beef pho, it hits the spot especially in the fall/winter time! the interior is nice & in winter has curtains to stop cold air from coming in which is very appreciated when dinning in.

2025 dine in: the grilled beef in betel leaves were delicious. The Singapore noodles that my friend got were well seasoned but she didn't enjoy the dish overall. The BBQ beef Bao buns had no flavour. Service was friendly & efficient. BYOW helps. Aquariums help the otherwise stark black & white decor. 2023 delivery: Banh Kot was alright, basically eggy cakes with a shrimp on top, very filling. Ban tom Ninh kieu was all oil & no taste. Bao thit ko was typical. Bao Xeo was basically an onion omelette, very filling. Lemongrass short ribs were okay. Shrimp were not seasoned in any dish, pretty disappointing overall. Packaging was all styrofoam (not recyclable here)

Best pho in town at this no-nonsense & authentic Vietnamese restaurant on the Plateau. The raw beef pho tay stands out because of a fragrant broth; good quality beef; Al dente noodles & five alarm fire chile oil. Run by a mother & her two sons, this place has a homey vibe (aquariums & a television perpetually turned on). Equally impressive are the spicy papaya salad & the bao, or steamed buns. This has become my go-to neighborhood restaurant & I'm never disappointed.

i got the beef flank pho to go. the beef flank was tender & flavorful, the broth not so much. adequate portion size, average overall, but it did its job of fulfilling my need for warm soup & carbs

I usually enjoy stoping by here for a quick lunch. The Banh Mi selection is good & affordable. The Bun are a little dry, but big portions.

Tonight I ordered online directly from the website so the restaurant wouldn't have to pay any fees to 3rd party delivery companies. My order was estimated to arrive in 25 minutes. I ended up waiting 90 minutes for two Banh Mi, a lemonade & 2 spring rolls.

I live a 4 minute drive away.

When the delivery driver finally showed up, the Bahn Mi was the incorrect order (I was charged for beef, & was given two traditional rolls that cost less), & my drink was missing.

When I called to ask about my $10 of missing items, the phone was ringing out.
