They are very accommodating for any changes made to their menu (eg. Removing ingredients, replacing ingredients). Best service for a Vietnamese restaurant !

Adrian Phillips

Finding a park around here for lunch is a complete shit sandwich . If you're up for some Bun (noodle salad ), then be sure to get any of the ones with egg rolls . Vietnamese iced coffee is spot on.

If you are planning on getting the Banh Mih, ask to have it with egg . If you're getting the cold noodles , you can also ask for an extra egg roll . Passion Fruit Iced Tea is good.

Kelly Bone

Wonderful Banh Mi Chay with tofu and organic mushrooms--order it without mayo for a vegan option

felicia

really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. love that you can add a fried egg to the banh mi !

Hien T

They use fresh noodles for pho . If you've never had fresh noodles before, just know they are really slippery. So you might need to ask for wooden chopsticks or a fork.

Kim Cruickshanks

I’m a big fan of their banh mi - splurge on the fried egg and add extra pate , it’s worth it.

Rainy days are ahead, and what better way to pass the time indoors than with a hot bowl of the aromatic beef broth better known as pho ? Read more

Amy Lam

Finally, good banh mi on the westside ! Get the large Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork ) Banh Mi with egg . Skip the coffee .

michael devero

Good pho . Love the passion fruit iced tea . Bahn mi is also good here

Miki Reynolds

Family owned spot with excellent service, especially if you sit at the bar ! Ask for the vegetarian "fish sauce " as an alternative.

Amir Baharlou

Great pho spot, with lots of dessert options in walking distance.

Kevin T

Their beef pho broth is a little salty and the flavor is a bit off, enough that I don't really enjoy it.

daniel goslee

Throw them jalapeños on your banh mi and then wash it down with the sparkling lemonade .

Tiffany Prugpichailers

The Hue beer is pretty good - light and refreshing but with good flavor (none of that watery crap)!

Jason Pope

Best Vietnamese food I have had on the west side.

Jonathan Pierce

Pho base was overwhelmed by the taste of star anise . Iced espresso was made way ahead of time, making it far beyond bitter--almost spoiled. Does to Viet food what SushiStop does to sushi , but for $$$

Bradley Clarke

The cafe sua is a must- espresso poured over condensed milk .

Lee Simpson

Try the Pate Cha Banh Mi . Probably the best.

Jon Narong

Literally only one vegetarian noodle option - bun chay. It's good but wish they had more. And they don't take Amex.

Line-da Noche

Cafe sua is just how I like my drinks, strong! Super delish!

Riquel Shane

Ask for wooden chopsticks . They are much easier to work with when eating pho . 

@jasonyi924

100% flavor and 0% MSG. Service is impeccable.

Reyn Hornwood

The Spring rolls are amazing, and the ice tea is homemade .

Get everything! And vibe out to the heavy hip hop on repeat.

Arman Afghani

Pho was great

Kris L

Lemongrass steak bun . End of discussion. Yum

David Heiser

Just got takeout , but my banh mi was underwhelming to say the least, especially for the price.

Kevork Kazanjian

Is it trendy ? Yes. Is it clean and convenient? Yes. Is it good? NO.
