The special pho is so good! Great flavour and the large size is a great amount of noodles.
Super tasty, fresh and good.I was intrigued by the place and it had all the trademarks of a great place to eat.Worn but clean interiors, simple but well executed menus and the charm some of the best bites you usually have. A family ran place that takes pride and is tasty.This is the type of place you see and won't regret checking out.
We enjoyed. Really nice chill spot. Delicious food, mini little convenience store. Has mix of breakfast and burger stuff with Viet food. All delicious.
First time and staff were very helpful explaining how they work. Menu has a ton of great options (had Shrimp fresh roll and pork vermicelli) and really want to go back soon to try something new. Portions were good, price was fair and everything was delicious and fresh tasting.Ate in and did not really like that there did not seem to be any option to reduce the waste (at least not offered). Everything in plastic, 2-3 plastic ramekins, plastic bags, etc....
I’ve heard about this place for quite some time as the breakfast is supposed to be awesome. I was feeling for bun vermicelli so I decided to give this place a try. I paid 13 for this, this is usually 15 at other places. I also ordered a Bun Hue spicy beef soup. The Bun Vermicelli was a good portion of noodles and veggies but the chicken was very little in comparison to other places. I would say adding extra chicken for 4.50 is what is needed to bring it on par. Nonetheless it was good but missed that extra protein. The soup was for someone else and they said it was pretty good. This was 16. I would definitely order again. Note this was delivered so the chicken was tossed about as u can see in the box.Update: ordered from here again and the Pork Bun Vermicelli was very tasty.
THE BEST VIETNAMESE IN THE CITY OH MY GOD I EAT HERE ONCE A WEEK ITS DELICIOUS. Do not sleep on the vermicelli, rich pho broth, perfect crispy spring rolls and do not sleep on the smoothies juice and coffee absolutely perfection they have like a wizard working back there or something.
We were initially reluctant to try this place out because it looked so all over the place from other review photos. BUT, this is why you don’t judge a book by its cover. Hole-in-the wall places are good for a reason. You don’t go to this place for the vibes but for a good bowl of pho in the neighborhood. Yes, the place isn’t your sparkly and shiny restaurant but the patio seating is nice and there’s lot of seating indoors. The pho broth was not too salty and had a good spice balance. It was deep and rich without being too rich. There was a good amount of meat (we ordered the special pho). The fresh spring rolls were full and truly they’re just a vehicle for the peanut sauce haha. We’ll definitely go back to try other menu items.
the best authentic vietnamese food that you can get in the city that won’t break the bank.the grilled chicken vermicelli is a large portion, and everything is so fresh. the pork spring rolls are super crunchy with an amazing filling on the inside. beef broth at this place is so flavourful I was just sipping on it alone.ordering takeout was extremely fast for the amount of items I ordered, and they were so nice to me despite coming in near closing time.I can’t say enough good things about this place. go try it! I’m excited to come back and try more items :)
