Overall, a very good experience but quite pricey. The bahn mi came out with a very hot crispy bun and meat fresh off the grill. Some of the meat was slightly burnt but not every piece. It was missing the pate and some jalapeno in the flavor profile. At $9 for one sandwich it is a little overpriced especially considering it does not come with all the typical ingredients. The Vietnamese iced coffee is ok, not the best I've had but not the worst. At $6.50 it is on the higher price side. The combination pho has excellent broth and a ton of meat. My wife ordered a noodle dish that included crispy fried onions, and the onions were soft and soggy. Otherwise a delicious dish with a tasty fish sauce dressing. We paid $60+ for one drink, one app, and two entrees including tax and tip. One of the most expensive Vietnamese restaurants we've eaten at outside of major metropolitan areas. The flavors are great but a few minor missteps and high prices contribute to a 4 star review.

Nothing "Big" About Big Mama Portion size for the large pho ($16) is pitifully small. It looks more like a medium. Extra noodles is 2.50 and also very small portion. Broth taste fine. Wayyy too overpriced for what it is. Mediocre but could be great. Just toss a few more noodles in the bowl gosh darnit!
