Food is so good. Bun bo hue is so tasty. Very authentic. Banh mi is also good. Price is very affordable. If you have cash it's better but they do accept credit cards except for Amex. Owners are also very kind.
We ordered the special Bahn mo sandwich for 6.50 & for the price, it was good. I know they premade it but the bun was toasty , & the ham & veggies tasted really good.
Also ordered tarp smoothie but it was watery but still tasty.
Delicious banh mi with many options at an excellent price & with a great portion. The sauce was really good & the bread was fresh. You shouldn't miss this place! It was exactly what I needed!
You know the food is about to be good when it's a small place. Amazing food, very kind staff & quick service. A nice selection of authentic homemade meals. Very good prices too, especially for the portion & quality of the food. Overall, a hidden gem 10/10 would recommend.
The best Banh Mi I've had in town! Their bread is airy & crispy while their ingredients are perfectly balanced & intensely flavoured. Seriously a must-try! Very good price also.
Pho was really good & very reasonable price! I really liked that they gave real chilli pieces to add to the broth as it's more authentic & the spicy hits much better than siracha
